"Good. Now I am here for a couple reasons. First I know you are the one the Batman calls Oracle." Eleanor said bluntly.
Barbra froze. She was so sure she had covered her tracks perfectly. She had to ask, "How?"
"Oh it wasn't too hard to figure out. Less than two weeks after Batgirl was shot, Batman starts receiving help from a mysterious woman called Oracle. There is no way at all that was coincidence." Eleanor stated matter-of-factually.
Barbra's heart was pounding in her ears. She had her. "What do you want?"
Eleanor smiled softly, "Joker told me about what happened. So I have a proposition. How would you like to walk again?"
Barbra was sitting in an abandoned warehouse that the Joker used a few months ago. She was currently surrounded by Joker himself, Harley, Ivy and Eleanor. Delta was nowhere to be found. She could not even see the soft yellow glow of the light in his helmet. Barbra was feeling nervous even if she would not show it. Apparently Ivy picked up on this and spoke to her. "Feeling nervous there little babe?"
"Not at all," Barbra denied though not very convincing. "I am just wondering where her father is?"
"Daddy is currently finding some food and he said some other things to help make us more comfortable here." Eleanor said.
"How do you know this?" Barbra questioned with a raised brow. "He didn't even say anything, he just left."
"Oh. Daddy and I share a psychic bond with each other," She explained. "It is how he was able to find me when we were trapped in Rapture."
"You know something," Joker spoke up. "You mentioned Rapture in the last group session we had. Is that where you grew up?"
Eleanor grew angry at the name of her former home. "Unfortunately, yes. Rapture was a shining jewel of human evolution built under the Atlantic Ocean. The founder was Andrew Ryan"
"I heard of him," Harley said. "He wanted to try to destroy the church and the government so that there was no censorship of art, literature, or science. Basically a socialist society."
"He succeeded," Eleanor nodded. "However it would not have existed without the help of a wonder drug called ADAM."
"What is ADAM?" Barbra inquired.
"ADAM was the life blood of Rapture. When it was processed it was able to be turned into one of two different drugs either a Plasmid or a Tonic. Plasimds rewrote your DNA code and was able to give you different powers from shooting fireballs out of your hands," she demonstrated by flashing her fireball plasmid, "or electricity like Daddy has. He also has most of the plasmids in existence in Rapture. He needed them in order to rescue me." She trailed off obviously remembering when she was captured.
"What about Tonics?" Harley asked breaking Eleanor out of her funk.
"Tonics are merely passive plasmids. While you can see Plasmids in action, Tonics work within the body helping it become stronger or faster or in the girls' case more beautiful. Daddy's tonics range from improving his strength to helping him become sneaky even in the heavy metal armor." Eleanor finished her explanations to the gathered group. "Oh and by the way Daddy is almost back."
Two minutes after she said that Delta walked in carrying a crate on his back, one under his arm and another being lifted by his telekinesis. He eased the crates onto the floor and pried them open revealing two out of three to be full of food. The one on his back was the biggest one of them and, when opened, full of medical equipment.
Eleanor was walking back to Barbra when she heard her beloved father's voice asking her, Are you sure you want to do this baby girl?
'Yes Daddy I am positive.'
May I ask why?
'Because Daddy we will need someone to keep an eye on the heroes; who better than the one that gives them information?'
Ok Eleanor. If you are sure I will stand by you and protect and help you.
"Ok! Now that we have to proper medical supplies let's get you up and walking again." Eleanor said happily.
Barbra was still skeptical. "And how are you going to do this?"
"Simple I am going to take some ADAM out of my Daddy and inject it into you. The ADAM will start infusing with you blood and heal any and all injuries." Eleanor explained.
"Any side effects I should know about?" Barbra asked.
"Well you may gain some of my Daddy's powers and if that happens you will experience a lot of pain. Rewriting genetic code is a painful process." Eleanor said with a grimace on her face. Delta merely lowered his head in agreement.
"I'm not so sure about this." Barbra hesitated.
"Oh come on little Batgirl. You know the phrase no pain no gain." Joker said.
"Why do you even care? You're the one who put me in this chair!" she yelled at Joker.
"I maybe a deranged lunatic, sociopath and utterly crazy but if you look at my past record I have not killed anyone. Even my Smilex is non-lethal. It's just modified laughing gas." Joker said. (A/N: Before I receive any flames this is MY AU so there for MY rules. Don't like it, tough shit!)
"IT DOESN'T MATTER! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!" Barbra screamed with her voice echoing throughout the warehouse.
Delta had heard enough and wanted to yell but his vocal cords had been ripped out when he was turned into a Big Daddy. So he slammed his fist against the metal support beam scaring the shit out of everyone. His light had flashed to red showing he was angry about what was going on. His gaze snapped to Eleanor who nodded. She took her giant syringe and took a small amount of his blood. She put the blood in a test tube and set it off to the side. She turned to Barbra and took a small amount of her blood as well.
"I need to know if your blood will mix with Daddy's and your antibodies will not try to destroy the ADAM." Eleanor explained as she put Barbra's blood in with Delta's.
After a couple minutes the blood was solidly mixed and upon testing it the ADAM had mixed well. Eleanor was overjoyed at this news and even Barbra was happy. Eleanor took a smaller syringe and filled it with the mixed blood. Before she injected it, Eleanor said, "Last chance to back out."
"I've come this far might as well see it through." Barbra said rolling up her sleeve.
Eleanor smiled and slowly, gently injected the blood into the former Batgirl's arm. Barbra was wondering what was supposed to be happening when she felt it.
Pain. Excruciating, agonizing, debilitating pain. Barbra's screams were echoing around the warehouse. Joker, Harley, and Ivy looked on in horror. Eleanor looked impassive, and Delta, well you can't see because of his helmet. The screaming when on for a solid three minutes and when it finally subsided Barbra slowly picked herself up. Everyone, save Delta, was looking at her smiling and laughing.
Barbra Gordon, daughter of Police Commissioner James "Jim" Gordon, the former Batgirl, was now up and walking again. She was so overjoyed she did the first thing that popped into her head. She grabbed Eleanor and pulled her into a passionate and grateful lip-lock. That's when the party stopped to watch the two girls make out. Eleanor, surprised at first, quickly returned the kiss. She had always preferred women over men. The only man she would ever let touch her was her Daddy. Two guys back in the Asylum learned that the hard way. (See Ch. 1)
After Barbra came to her senses, her face was very red and her breath was ragged but she looked embarrassed as hell. Eleanor wasn't far behind but the difference was you could see the enjoyment she got out of it clearly on her face.
Ivy, in an effort to break the now awkward silence, said "It's getting late. We should all go to bed and I'm sure our little patient needs to rest after what happened."
Harley and Joker agreed and everyone went to bed. Barbra, who was staying at the warehouse with them, was thinking. OH MY GOD! Why did I do that!? I mean sure I am grateful to have my legs back but the sudden make out session was a little much in terms of gratitude.
It didn't help that the radio was playing Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl.
Meanwhile in Eleanor's room.
Eleanor was skipping around her little room giggling happily. She was in love and she knew it. True she thought that the make out session was much in terms of gratitude but there was no way in hell she was ever going to complain about that. She fell on her bed still giggling and drifted off into wet dream land where she was dreaming of dominating not only Batgirl but a whole harem of beautiful females.
In Delta's room.
Delta was cleaning his weapons. He knew of Eleanor's orientation and he didn't care. He was her father and he would love her no matter what. (1)
After inspecting his weapons and making sure they were in proper working order, he started to remove his armor. After he was almost nude (underwear was still on) he got into bed. His thoughts were on a certain green goddess. He too drifted off into wet dream land though his were of just him and Ivy in a steamy jungle romance.
Please note that I am not a supporter of gay rights nor am I against it. I believe that every person in the entire world has a right to live his or her own life the way they want to. If that means that a man want to be with another man or a woman with another woman I say so be it. I also believe in family support. The family of the gay male/female should love them unconditionally. To the families of those who kicked their own children out because of this reason I say may you burn in Hell for all of eternity.
Thank you for listening to my rant.
P.S I am giving Oracle two plasmids. Scout and you decide the next one. Poll will be up. If in the event of a tie I will be referring to the reviews section to help with the decision.
P.P.S MICHIGNAN WOLVERINES IS IN THE FINAL FOUR! WOOO! GO BIG BLUE!
