Chapter 6: The First Adventure Starts.

Dick was ready the suit was done the night before, his last night as Nightwing permanently he informed 'Commish' tomorrow a new era begins and things will never be the same. The next day he told Alfred to gather the family in the Batcave when they were all there Red Robin was the first to speak.

"Why are we here and where's Richard?" Tim asked.

Damian shrugged and said, "Beats me." It really did he had no clue where Richard was no one did not even Barbara she think he fell asleep down here.

"Don't worry I'm here" Dick's voice was heard but he was not seen, "Damian, Barbara, possibly Sara, and I have been keeping a secret from you" he said "do you still think I will not be Batman?"

"Well yeah the last we talked about it you said no and suggested me" Tim said, "after that every day you locked yourself in the 'cave and started working out a lot.

"Dick where are you?" Barbara said, "Did you sleep down here?'

"That's not important right now" Dick said, "Back to the matter of Batman I've been thinking a lot for a while and I decided" he stepped out of the darkness in his new Batsuit, "that Bruce was right I need to accept my destiny it's time to dawn the mask and cape and be Batman."

"Oh My God" Barbara said, "I LOVE the suit" she said happily "…you could've told me today was the day." She said angrily.

"Babs" Dick said, "you would've told the entire family."

"No I wouldn't." Barbara said

"Yes you would" everyone besides Barbara and Dick said.

"Thank you, now tonight a new era begins I have upgraded all your suits you will see how tonight." Dick said.

"Cool" Damian said. Everyone went about their day Cassandra Cain went home to Hong Kong. Then sunset came in the U.S.A. everyone went to get there suits at their main base of operation they saw a pair of gloves, their belt, their boots, their mask, cowl, cape, gadgets, and a note:

'Dear Batman Inc. agent,

These gloves are specially equipped to make the process of getting into a costume easier. All you have to do is press the top button on the top right of the left glove also if you work day and night or are a police officer it has a cloaking mechanism to look like ordinary or work clothes right below the button to put the suit on. Also the button top left of the left glove is an extreme conditions suit the one below it is an extreme weather suit. To take the suit off press the big button in the middle, in order to apply the other suits you must have your original suit on. Two last things on your right wrist is a holographic (optional) communicator in case you need backup and in case of fighting an enemy with claws the gloves have spikes in between the fingers the spikes can also be used to climb walls. That should be all enjoy the new suit.

Sincerely,

Richard Grayson Sr. a.k.a. Batman" Each agent put the gloves on and pressed the top button on the right glove and armor started moving up their arms across there chest and back down the torso across the ribs and down their legs.

"Okay that was awesome." Damian said.

"Nice suit" Sara said walking up in an armored bat suit Damian's mouth dropped.

"Robin meet the fifth Batgirl" Dick said, "my daughter Sara Grayson."

"Wait is Barbara 'Batwife' now?" Damian asked.

"No Barbara" said, "I'm still Batgirl we have three active Batgirls now."

"Oh, ok. Sara looks really good." Damian said putting on the pieces of his suit that couldn't flow on.

"Dick this is Tim. Dick come in!" Tim said.

"What is it?" Dick said.

"Dick turn in to Blüdhaven news there's a new hero." Tim said.

"What?!" Dick said shocked, "Babs."

"On it." Barbara said as she pulled up the Blüdhaven news on the Bat-Computer.

"Yes it's true ladies and gentlemen a new hero watching over our city since Nightwing has apparently abandoned our city for Gotham since Batman is dead. And now you don't need to worry about walking out in day time she's a day or night crime fighter calling herself Hawkfire" the news woman said, "'we love her it's a new day for Blüdhaven though we will never forget Nightwing."

"Nightwho?" her broadcast partner said. They both laughed.

"Let's go" Dick said, "Commish needs to meet the newest Batgirl.

"Ok." Sara said excitedly. Just then the Bat Signal popped up on the Bat-Computer.

"What luck" Barbara said, "Daddy's got a case for us."

"Let's go" Robin said. As they made their way to the Nightbird which had been modified to be the new Batmobile.

"Robin you and the new Batgirl in the back." Dick shouted.

"Yes Daddy" Sara shouted as she and Damian raced to the Batmobile.

"They're such a cute couple." Barbara said, "Remember when we were like that?" she asked Dick as they made their way to the Batmobile.

"How could I forget" Dick said, "those are some of the best days of my life." Dick continued as they got in the car and drove to the police station.

"Evening Commish" Dick said.

"Richard I'm your father in law at least call me Jim once." Commissioner Gordon said.

"Gordon we went over this last time I was Batman to me you'll always be Commish I told you that." Dick said

"What do you have for us?" Robin said

"Hi Grandpa" Sara said moving to the front.

"Look at you continuing the family business." Jim said then he looked at Dick and Babs, "You too must be proud."

"We'll see how she does in the field." Barbara said, "That's the real test." Damian handed the file to Dick and said.

"Looks like The Joker." Robin said

"Yeah it's The Joker." Dick said looking at the file.

"How can you tell Daddy?" Sara asked.

"The Joker card covered in blood." Dick said.

"Oh" said Sara, "should've guessed that."

"Rookie mistake everyone makes them." Robin said reassuring his girlfriend.

"Okay good" Sara said blushing, "I don't want to do too badly."

"You won't it's not in your DNA." Barbara said.

"Let's move" Dick said, "the longer that psychopathic clown is on the loose the worse he gets." Dick said and jumped off the roof.

"Richard's right bye Daddy." Barbara said and followed.

"So long Commissioner." Robin said and repeated the process a third time.

"Bye Grandpa." Sara said and cartwheeled off the roof. Once in they drove to the crime scene. On the way Dick radioed Tim.

"Tim where are you?" Richard asked.

"Southeast Gotham why?" Tim replied.

"We got a new case, Joker's back." Dick answered.

"Oh no maybe Sara should sit this out." Tim suggested.

"Negative, she wanted to start now." Dick replied.

"Well she'll get more than what she bargained for I guarantee that, I could help with the detective work." Tim said.

"Sending the coordinates now." Barbara said.

"On my way." Tim said.

"See you there." Dick said. When they arrived they saw one of the owners was formerly in the Teen Titans, Tim is really close to all the Titans, and Damian radioed Tim.

"Tim change of plans don't come we got it." Damian said trying to get him to not come.

"No can do my ETA is two minutes." Tim replied.

"NO really don't come." Damian said.

"Too late." Red Robin said landing, "So who are the victims?" he asked.

"Batman you tell him." Robin said.

"Red Robin I'm Sorry but its KF and Artemis."

"What I didn't know they even moved to Gotham." He said stunned.

"I'm sorry I don't think Oliver or Barry know yet. I'll tell them tomorrow." Batman said.

"Can I see them?" Red Robin asked.

"Yes." Batman said. Red Robin walked in with Batman since they're the only former members of the Teen Titans and sure enough the man had dark orange hair but that could've been anyone they looked in his closet and there was the Kid Flash uniform they looked at the female it was defiantly Artemis because she died in her uniform.

"What do you make of it?" Tim asked.

"Joker's trying to mess with our emotions if we didn't know him better it would've worked." Dick said.

"Yeah still sucks they're dead though." Tim replied solemnly.

"I'm switching to detective mode to see if there's anything the police will missed." Dick said.

"There always is some things they'll miss Batman don't forget that." Tim reminded.

"Found something." Dick said picking up a piece of paper and putting it in his utility belt", "Tim go back to what you were previously doing." Batman ordered.

"Yes Sir Batman." Red Robin said and left.

"Batman did you find anything?" Robin asked on the way to the cave.

"Yes" Batman said, "a page from a comic book" he said taking it out, "I think it pin points his next target to get under my skin."

"Really" Barbara asked, "who is it?"

"Um mom" Sara said, "it's you this page from the comic where the Joker killed Batgirl."

"What" Barbara said grabbing the paper sure enough it was from the comic where a Batgirl got killed of course she had red hair no one knew it was her, the whole secret identity thing so it didn't say it was Barbara. The topic was cut when a Killer Croc sighting popped up on the dashboard.

"You guys ready to fight a Crocodile?" Dick asked them.

"Yeah." Sara said excitedly.

"Always." Damian answered.

"Sure." Barbara said still shaking from what she just learned.

"Let's go." Dick said. And drove to Gotham ballpark, where Croc was causing havoc.

"Batwoman we could use back up its Croc." Dick said

"Okay on my way." Batwoman replied when they arrived the four waited for Batwoman and then ran inside. Which looked like a tornado went through the stadium.

"Dang Croc's off his rocker." Robin said.

"When is he on it?" Batman said.

"True." Robin answered.

"Wait" Batman said raising his right hand and gripping his left Eskrima stick, "I hear him. New Batgirl left pull out your Bat-bow with Trip wire arrow."

"Yes Sir." she pulled out what he said and got on position.

"Robin right staff at the ready for my signal." He ordered.

"Yes Sir. Permission to kill?" Robin said.

"Not granted. Kate right flank and Babs left flank." Batman said.

"Yes Sir." The two women said and moved to position.

"Fire the arrow." He said. The arrow went straight across and Batgirl backed up until the wire was straight and tight.

Dick pulled out his Eskrima sticks and shouted, "Croc I know you're here I know you have my sent come here and fight me!" Then the ground started to shake and a mutant man like Crocodile came in to view.

"I thought it could never happen" Killer Croc growled, "The bird has become the Bat I bet you will taste twice as good."

"I know you didn't kill Batman, Bane did prove to me you can kill the second Batman." Dick challenged.

"I will tear at your flesh!" Croc roared and charged at the exactly right moment Batman did a quadruple back flip which caused Croc who was still running to trip over the wire getting his feet wrapped up in the wire.

"Batgirl Batwoman now!" Dick shouted Barbara and Batwoman came out and muzzled Croc who broke out of the wire and ripped off the muzzle grabbed the women and threw them against the wall knocking them out.

"Uh Batgirl" Dick said, "FIRE ARROWS!" then a flurry of arrows started on Croc's scaly back and moved to the front and he saw the archer that was annoying him a new Batgirl one with extremely dark brown hair a face like the Batgirl he knocked out but the skin of Batman.

"A Bat brat will make a satisfying appetizer." he said and licked his lips.

"Uh was that a threat because it wasn't good I've heard better threats on cartoons." Batgirl said.

"You little twerp" Croc roared then charged.

"Oh snap" Sara said and started and started firing arrows but quickly ran out, "uh oh." Sara screamed and Robin acting out of emotion jumped out of hiding and hit Killer Croc on the back of the head with his staff and while he was down he continued with his fist.

"STAY…AWAY…FROM…MY…GIRL…FRIEND!" Robin said while pounding Killer Croc's face in.

"Robin enough dangit!" Batman said angrily, "I've been telling you to stop for fifteen minutes."

"Oh sorry Batman I don't know what happened." Damian said

"You let your emotions control you, you almost killed Croc which wasn't permitted."

Robin said "He was going to eat your daughter and you weren't doing jack." Batgirl and Batwoman woke to them arguing Barbara had a solution.

"Look we all had a rough night why don't we go home it's almost dawn." She suggested.

"Good idea." Batman said tying up Killer Croc. After that they went home Richard went to bed with one question on his mind who Hawkfire was.
