Chapter 4

Batman. I had to fight the Dark Knight. Why does Joker know me so well? Okay, knowing Batman, he went after that doctor. All I had to do was find the smelting chamber. What the heck is a smelting chamber? God why was this so difficult! I made my way into this elevator room. Sadly, the door was locked.

"Of course." I groaned. I sighed and turned around only to bump into someone. My instincts told me to jump back into defense position. I followed my instincts. My heart sank as I stared at the person before me. The boy wonder. Robin.

"Of course what?" he asked. I growled as I tried to walk around him. He stopped me. "Wow, where ya going? You do know you're in the Joker's hid out. Right?"

"Oh is that what this place is?" I asked sarcastically. "I thought I was in Buckingham Palace. My mistake."

"It's not safe here. Let me take you somewhere safe." He replied, trying to sound so macho. URG! Why is he so annoying!

"I can handle myself. Thanks." I scoffed.

"Look, I can't just let you walk out of here unprotected." Robin said.

"Yeah, you can. It's actually really easy. All you have to do is get out of my way." I smirked. I tried to walk around him but he was like a giant wall. He wouldn't let me pass. I turned on my heel and tried to open the door again. I put all my weight into pulling it. Yanking with all my might. Nothing. It wouldn't budge. Great. Robin walked up behind me and pushed the door open. Oh….well I felt stupid. One of those days I guess.

"Handle yourself huh?" He questioned with a cocky grin.

"Shut up." I snapped. I charged through the door. We were in some kind of assembly line. I kept charging through but Robin jumped in front of me and stopped me. "Look, I know you're trying to be some suave hero like Batman, but it's not working. I'm not a wittle girl." Robin looked shocked. I don't think anyone had ever talked to him like that before.

"I'm just trying to help." He said. He let go of my shoulders.

"I don't need it." I groaned. This time I was able to walk around him and into the next room.

I hadn't seen Robin in a while. He must've given up. However, something in my gut told me that that wouldn't be the last time I saw him tonight. There was nothing in that room. Soon I went into the next room only to find the Smelting Chamber. Of course. Only I knew Batman was here. Thugs were running around like crazy. Fearing for their lives. With all the commotion I was able to sneak into a room across the way where the Doctor was. When she saw me she started freaking out. Her eyes widened and she tried to break free herself. It broke my heart a little. She thought I was actually going to hurt her.

"No, hey. I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm here to get you out." I consoled. She calmed down a little but she was still tense. I easily untied the ropes. As soon as I turned around, Batman was behind me. I jumped. "God, you scared the crap out of me."

"Why didn't you stay in the courthouse like I told you to?" He snapped.

"Well, you see. There was this thing and uhmmm….the Riddler…he….uh….riddled me…." I tried. "Okay, I lied!"

"We'll talk about this later." He groaned. He turned to the Doctor. He started asking her questions about Joker. I already knew the answers but Batman wasn't listening to me. Besides. I couldn't just say outright that I was a double agent. I'm sure Joker has this place wired. Now how could I tell Batman without letting Joker know? It hit me like a ton of bricks. I leaned up against a wall. I tried to make it look like I was tapping in annoyance. In all actuality, I was using morse code. Basically, I said:

"Batman. I'm already in with Joker. If you stop me now, he'll know I'm a double agent and definitely kill me. If you can help me convince him, I can tell you everything you need to know. Everything. All I need you to do is put on a show for Joker. Let me beat you up. Just pretend. After a few minutes get up and go on. Please. You know it's a good idea. Blink once for yes, twice for no."

Batman continued his conversation with the Doctor to make it look like we weren't communicating. But I knew he heard me. He must've! He turned and looked at me after he finished his conversation. Then, he blinked once. He knew that since I'd pulled it off this far, it would only make it worse if he had me stop now. That's when I lunged. The woman jumped. Batman pushed me off. He threw a punch and I dodged. That man was good. He was really putting on a show. He let me get a couple punches in and he got in a few. I grabbed his batarang from his belt and flung it at him. He stumbled. I hit him over and over again. Batman pulled himself together and punched me in the face. I stumbled. In a swift motion I jumped on Batman's back and slammed his head into a wall. Batman crumbled to the floor. I grabbed a nearby lamp and repeatedly hit him. He tried to pull himself up. Time for the grand finale. I jumped on his back and slammed his head into the ground. The woman screamed and cried. She bought it. Did Joker? I pulled out my walkie talkie.

"Batman's taking a little nap." I smirked. Joker's laugh cackled over the walkie talkie and then turned into a laugh.

"Excellent work my dear." Joker replied. "What are you gonna do with that good for nothing bitch doctor?" Oh. Forgot about her.

"What do you want me to do with her?" I asked.

"Kill her." Joker replied. I gulped. How was I gonna fake this one? I turned towards the woman. She was crying in the corner. I knew what I had to do. Batman was gonna kill me.

"Consider it done." I said. My feet moved slowly as I walked up to her. She screamed and cried. I had to do it. I crouched up in front of her. She looked at me. Fear in her eyes. "I'm so sorry." I mouthed. With that, I slammed her head against the wall. I checked her pulse. Still alive of course. Just as I intended. She'd have a killer headache but she was alive. I grabbed her feet and started to drag her. I had to put her somewhere safe. Somewhere no one could find her. I tried to get her out of there safely but it wasn't too easy. I managed to get her outside of the building without giving her too many bruises. As I glanced around, I tried to find a place to keep her safe. Where could I put an unconscious body?

"I guess you can handle yourself. Killing off innocent people." I looked up to see Robin glaring at me. I looked back down at what I was doing.

"Okay, I know exactly what this looks like. But before we jump to any rash conclusions, let's talk this over." I started, Robin punched me. "OWW!" That Hurt! Robin picked up the woman bridal style. Of course. Always a showman. He quickly realized that the woman was still breathing.

"Oh." He said.

"Oh." I mimicked, annoyed and in pain.

"Why did you knock her out?" He asked.

"Well, Joker wanted her dead. I was protecting her." I explained.

"By knocking her out?" He questioned.

"Yes by knocking her out!" I snapped. "Now, will you help me put her somewhere safe or not?"

"I know just the place." Robin replied.

I found myself on top of the Ace Chemical building. Robin placed her body on the roof. Leaning against Batman's outfit storage unit. It was a safe place. No one would notice her up here. Eventually, she'd wake up. I was hoping she wouldn't do anything stupid. I looked up at Robin. He was too busy focused on the other container. Inside was my batgirl outfit.

"What are you looking at?" I asked. He looked at me.

"Looks like we've got ourselves a bat running around without her mask." Robin smirked.

"Yeah?" I questioned.

"I'm not a big fan of Batgirl." Robin replied. I knew he hated me. But I always wondered why.

"What's wrong with Batgirl?"

"She's just so…..cocky. She's a smart ass and she thinks she's god's gift to earth." Robin groaned. "So annoying." I DID NOT THINK I WAS GOD"S GIFT TO EARTH!

"I think she's an inspiration." I snapped.

"Yeah, she inspired you to run around prisons and knock out innocent women." Robin mumbled. I glared daggers at him. God he was so stupid!

"Well, thank you for your help but I must be going." I replied.

"Hang tight." Robin smirked. I had no idea what he was talking about. Until he grabbed me around the waist and jumped off the building. I screamed. Robin was not someone I trusted with my life. As I gripped onto his collar and buried my face in his chest, I couldn't help but think he smelt nice. "You can open your eyes now." I peeked out to find myself back on the ground. I quickly jumped out of Robin's arms.

"That was incredibly rude!" I shouted. "You don't just….grab women and jump off buildings!"

"Hey, you're eyes look kind of blue right now." Robin said, completely ignoring what I just said. Yes, it was possible. My eyes liked to change colors.

"Are you evening listening to me?" I groaned.

"No, it's just….you're eyes are usually green." He replied. "And in this light they look blue."

"How do you know what my eyes usually look like?" I snapped. He didn't reply. "I'll tell you what, I-!" Before I could finish my sentence I blacked out.
