CHAPTER 2
I woke up in the back on my bed and I moaned. The Batman bought me back home, with the lights off. I wanted to ask why; I started to get up, I felt my face, noticing that I didn't have my mask on.
"Relax." The Batman said to me, "You were intoxicated with some kind of gas."
I gasped.
"But you're alright now, I gave you an antidote." He said calmly.
"You mean I didn't get to see your secret hideout?" I asked in disappointment.
He didn't say anything.
"Dude!" I whined.
Again, he said nothing. I'm pretty sure he'll never let me see his hideout. I mean, I'm his side-kick, I should know! He was about to leave out of my window until I asked,
"What happened to me?"
"You were in a state of trauma. You were constantly crying for help. You've been out for seven hours now."
That's how I missed it. Maybe I should nap in the day a little bit. So I wouldn't be so tired when I help The Batman.
"You should rest for the remainder of the night." He said as he started to climb out my window.
I got up saying, "Wait up."
He shot his grappling hook saying, "No, you have to stay here and rest, I can't risk having you get gassed again. I need you to stay here."
And with that he left. I got up to follow him, but I heard someone open the door downstairs.
"Barbara?"'
It was my Dad, home this late at night. It must been a big case over what happened at the jewelry store. I looked at the time: 12: 30. My Dad started coming up the stairs, I started to panic. What would happen if he saw me in my costume? I doubt he would give me a hug and a kiss saying how proud he is to have a daughter who fights criminals he would rather forget.
He was getting closer to my room. I decided to hide under my blanket in my bed, with barely my head sticking out. Then he came in, and I quickly shut my eyes. He quietly walked in, thinking I'm asleep. I felt him put his hand on my head. It lasted for about five seconds, and he sighed. He walked out and closed the door.
Once my dad walked out, I dosed off and fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning, and I noticed my cape was showing. Great. I got undressed; luckily it was a Saturday so I wasn't in a rush. I walked downstairs to find my Dad making bacon and eggs.
"Good morning, sunshine." He said.
"Good morning, Pops." I said wearily. I was tired.
Then he got a call from his cell phone. Duty calls, a lot.
"…Who …okay then I'll be there right away." He hung up.
"What's the dealio this time, pop?"
"Just robbery this time, finish your breakfast and stay here." He told me.
Can't be "just a robbery" if he has to go. This has got to attract The Batman. So once he left the house I immediately ran upstairs and put on my Batgirl outfit. I quickly went downstairs to check the news. It was Arnold and his dummy again hitting another jewelry store. I knew where that one was because I had walked past it when I was shopping for clothing.
Then, before I turned off the TV, everyone switched their attention to The Batman swooping down into the store.
Now it's my turn!
