Batgirl

Well what were we meant to do... Wait for them to get into trouble. No way was I going to sit around and listen whilst they have all the adventures. But orders were still orders and Kara seemed nice even if she was upset to be left out too.

All Robin had told me about her seemed to be true. He was a good judge of character for his age and even if he had only met her twice. I was meant to meet her the second time and I was upset that I didn't get to. It would've been nice to have had another superhero friend.

The Bat-family consisted of Batman, Robin, Nightwing and me. There had been another Robin, Jason Todd, but he had been tortured so badly by the Joker that he was killed. He was brought back to life with a Lazurus Pit and driven insane by torment. He became Red Hood and he was still insane until Batman helped him. He is now a free lance who occasionally helps out the Batman and his proteges. I remember when Nightwing and I first met...

Batman had sent me to help out Nightwing in Blüdhaven whilst things were quiet here. Blüdhaven was the second worst town for robberies other than Gotham. Nightwing was a former Robin who outgrew his partner and needed some space to grow into his own hero, hence he became Nightwing.

His actual name was Richard Grayson, but never call him Richard; he hates it so everyone just calls him Dick. He was the first adopted son of Bruce Wayne after his parents were killed by the mafia boss Tony Zucco and his men after they threatened them to pay for so called "protection". Sad as it may be their deaths made Dick into the sidekick of the century.

I can't tell you how many times I have heard Batman tell me stories of their missions and adventures. I admired the guy even before I met him or even Batman. The kids at school used to envy Robin...come on how awesome would it be to work with a superhero since you were just 9 years old. Now I get to work with him as Batman had told me that Nightwing had asked for my help on a certain matter.

Gotham has been quiet recently, too quiet but the last major breakout happened a month ago and all villains have been under the radar planning their next big scheme. That is all except Catwoman who would steal occasionally and visit Batman as often as she could. You could say that we got on really well.

I had travelled to Blüdhaven in the Batmobile and met up with Nightwing to find out what was up.

As I stepped out of the Batmobile I heard a scrape of a foot along the dirt and readied myself to fight. As I turned I saw a man in his young 20's in a black suit with a blue bird symbol that looked like a 'V' shape on his chest and a black mask that covered just his eyes. I eased out of my readied stance and smiled up at him. He returned the smile.

"Batgirl I presume." He said in a deep voice.

"Yes and you must be Nightwing." I reply. He was tall with black hair that was a black as midnight. His blue eyes shone from behind his mask.

He laughed. It was a cute laugh to say the least. "Just call me Dick, Barbara." I nodded and we started walking into his base of operations.

I spent 4 days helping Dick with Blüdhaven. We had made outstanding progress and agreed that we made quite the team. But I the day I was to leave Dick got a message from Red Hood with some information that might help him.

By the time I had left Dick was going over the information Red Hood gave him and sent multiple messages to heroes regarding villains that they were missing from various prisons.

Back at the Batcave, Batman was going out of his mind with worry as Robin had failed to report in and all the villains that had been lying low had decided to surface again and wreck havoc on Gotham. However some were still missing and weren't in their usual hiding places.

Heroes from around the country were finding the same problem and the same thought was going through everyones mind.

Are the villains grouping together?

It turned out that we were right and Batman gathered heroes to help us fight the villains. We had no idea their numbers but we had Superman on our side and Supergirl too. And nothing could stand in our way.

Days past and Robin was still M.I.A. Batman had told me his mission was to stake out on one of the villains that we thought had grouped up with other villains, and so radio silence was a sensible measure to take.

Our worry however was unneeded as Robin reported in that very night an confirmed our suspicions of a ultimate group of villains all working together.

A meeting was set up and here we are today, ready to take down the villains whilst me and Supergirl were made to watch from behind the scenes.

That is when they walked in.

No one was expecting them to accept Batman's request to join them in the fight but there they were, Nightwing and Red Hood. Apparently Red Hood would only turn up if Nightwing did. So they both came.

"Good to see you both," said a smirking Batman from the level above me as he looked over the railing to see them.

"Hey Nightwing, couldn't stay away from me I see. What has it been a week and a half since we last saw each other," I grinned at him. He just chuckled and embraced me in a hug.

"Nice to see someone here as a sense of humour still. I thought he would've killed it by now," he laughed then turned to Red Hood and introduced us to each other. "Batgirl meet Red Hood who I told you about. Red meet Batgirl the newest member of the Bat-family."

We shook hands and murmured our real names to each other. Jason seemed nervous about being here, but who could blame him. Imagine the memories he had if this place and his death and what all this would bring back. I honestly felt sorry for the guy after all he had been through so much and he was around my age too.

"Where's Robin? I was so whelmed to meet him again and he isn't here to greet me," Dick said

"Gotcha!" Yelled Robin as he raced off. Nightwing chased him and the games began. It happened every time they met. One snuck up on the other, and then they try to outmatch the other in a competition of "Tig" so to speak. Boys...

Supergirl had obviously finished talking to Wonder Woman or another one of the heroes as she walked straight up to me a Red Hood.

"Hello..." Kara said apprehensively to Red Hood.

"Hey, your Kara right. My name is Red Hood I am a past Robin. Nice to meet you..."

Jason trailed off and reached for his ear as he was passed a message through his communicator. It was bad news as his face paled and eyes widened in horror.

He finished listening and by this time everyone was looking at him in anticipation of what he was about to say.

"Guys," he started,"we may have a problem... A big problem!"
