Wayne Manor (Bat Cave)
Omniscient (Barbara's P.O.V)
"Wow…so this is the bat cave…" Barbara gasped at the actual largeness of the cave, as they entered from the Bat Mobile.
Batman stopped the car, and opened his door to leave, glancing at her, to cue her exit.
"So, what exactly are we going to do tonight?" The excited red head had a huge grin on her face as she looked into every corner and crevice of the cave. "Gymnastics? Self Defense? Detective Work?" She looked over at Batman trying to get him to respond to any of her statements.
"All of them," Batman replied, flipping a switch on, allowing huge lights to illuminate the more important features of the cage, such as the fighting mat, the gymnastics area and the lab.
"Oh…cool," Barbara said nervously, suddenly feeling a tad intimidated for the work ahead of her. "So, uh when do we get started?" She tried to say confidently, drumming her nails along the lab table.
"Go warm up, on the mats in the gymnastic area, I'll be watching." He said, not looking up from his work in front of him on the Bat Computer.
"Alright, then" Barbara whispered walking over to the mats.
Barbara slipped off her Batman sweater, deciding her grey t-shirt would probably prove more appropriate for the occasion. She couldn't help but peak every few seconds over at Batman, to see if he actually was watching, while she re-tied her pony tail.
Carefully, she slid down on to her butt, to begin stretching out her legs, with a few toe touches, and for an attempt to do the splits, even with her bruised tail bone. Once she figured she was stretched out enough, Barbara moved her way to the edge of the mat, to begin a tumbling routine that would hopefully impress Batman.
"Ehem," She cleared her throat, hopefully loud enough to get his attention, then she was off, falling over onto her hands, and twisting her body into odd flips, truly feeling how badly she did bruise herself. Once she finished, she looked over to her left, 'he's still looking at that damn computer,' Barbara muttered to herself and walked over to the beam.
"Ouch," she whispered again, as she attempted to flip herself on the beam, which she did succeed at, but managed hitting her ankle against one of the poles in the process. Yet again, Barbara pushed all of her weight onto her wrists, as she held a hand stand on the balance beam, moving forward one hand in front of the other. Half way across the beam, she was able to blow a strand of her red hair out of her eyes away long enough to look over and see Batman watching her. With that she began moving faster across the beam, reaching the end, and throwing herself into the double somersault that Dick was famous for.
Barbara panted as she got off, and moved her hand to her tail bone, trying to massage it.
"Hmm," she heard Batman say, as he eyed her again. "Not too bad, I suppose," He made his way to the fighting mats. "Now, the most important part." He took off his cape, and draped it over the towel rack, "Show me how you defend yourself."
2:07 A.M
Wayne Manor (Kitchen)
Omniscient (Barbara's P.O.V)
"Don't be too discouraged Miss Gordon," Alfred said as he set a warm plate of cookies in front of her, and shuffled towards the fridge, "Master Bruce, was just as hard on Master Richard, as he was on you today."
"Thank you Alfred," Barbara said tiredly. She couldn't help but feel absolutely exhausted, beat up (which she was) and a little irritated.
"I stepped in to watch you a few times, and I must say I was quite impressed, not even Master Richard was able to pin Master Bruce down, even if it did only last for a few seconds." The old butler placed a glass of milk in front of the tired girl.
"That's a relief," she said taking a sip of her milk, "So what do I do now? When do you think he's going to tell me if I'm in or not."
Alfred chuckled at Barbara's persistence, "I suggest, you finish that glass of milk, then head down there, and he'll tell you his self."
Barbara glugged down her milk immediately, and placed it in the sink, "Thank you again Alfred," she smiled and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
The sore girl jogged her way towards the library, where she pulled 'The History Of Bats' book back, which slid away the book case leading to the Bat Cave.
"Bruce?" Barbara called out, running down the stairs.
"In the armor room," He called out from below.
Barbara made her way down the stairs, and peered over the corner to see Bruce standing mask less, peering at his past Batman and Robin suits.
"He wore spandex short shorts?" Barbara snickered a bit at the previous Robin uniform that Bruce was looking at.
"You should see some of the other costumes we've been through," He smiled at her, and gestured to the right, which had more displays of previous costumes.
Barbara smiled back and began moving to each one, reading the year and description at each, and usually laughing to herself, trying to imagine Dick in each one. Until she stumbled across the last one.
"Bruce?" Barbara asked, looking over to him.
Bruce walked over to her and answered "Yes Barbara?"
"Which one is this?" Barbara gestured to the display in front of her, containing another bat suit, but with a shorter cape, and a more feminine fit.
"That would be Batgirl's suit." Bruce replied, pressing the button in front, allowing the glass to move down.
Barbara's eyes lit up, and she grinned hugely, "Really?"
"Really," he answered, pulling the costume down from it's stand and adding, "on one condition."
Barbara took the costume from out of his hand, running over the bat symbol in the front of it with her sore fingers, "anything."
"You're good, but there's always room for improvement. Which means, you need to keep training. But since I have my hands full here for a bit, I'm going to send you to a team, with people more along your age or so." Bruce pressed the button again, closing the tube.
"Is that where Dick is?" Barbara asked shyly.
"Yes, it is." He replied, leaving the armor room. "I already called your father, I told him you won a week long trip to a university that you applied to."
"And he believed it?" she gasped, clutching her costume closer to her chest.
"Of course he did. Now, your dad is still at Arkham right now, so why don't you head home and pack up a quick back pack to take with you for the week?" Bruce tossed her a set of keys.
"What are these for?" Barbara questioned fiddling with them in one hand.
Bruce gave Barbara one last glance and turned the lights off to the armor room, "Your bike."
2:55 A.M
Gordon Residence
Omniscient (Barbara's P.O.V)
'No need to be nervous Babs…" Barbara whispered to herself as she pulled a black duffle bag out from under her bed.
'You're just going to go train with a few super hero's…" She walked over to the closet and opened the squeaky door.
'Some of them will be older then you…but that doesn't matter right?" She thought nervously as she pulled out more leggings, and yoga pants.
'Some will have actual super powers...meanwhile you have none." Barbara pulled out a few baggy t-shirts, and also some tight low cut ones, 'after all you never know what cute boys would be there' she giggled to herself.
'Some of them will watch you train and fail…on multiple occasions." She ran to the bathroom to pull necessary items into her toiletry case.
'And lastly, Dick will be there, he won't be happy I'm there, but he'll have to deal with it.' Barbara zipped up her duffle bag and made her way back out the window, locking it behind her.
7:36 A.M
Wayne Manor (Bat Cave)
Omniscient (Barbara's P.O.V)
"And you're telling me…that this thing will actually take us to Mount Justice?" Barbara eyed the large circular object in front of her, that Batman was trying to tell her would transport them to the team.
"Trust me," Batman said, pulling his mask back over his face, "Put your mask on." He added lastly, pulling Barbara's arm along with him into the transporter.
"Whoa…" Barbara gasped, opening her eyes to see that, that weird thing, actually transported them. "Where is everyone?" She asked, tugging on her costume, that proved to be just a bit tight and itchy.
"Probably still sleeping," Batman answered, moving quickly down the halls. "When they really should be up by now."
Barbara followed quickly behind, careful not to make a sound, as Batman walked by different rooms labeled with names like 'Artemis,' 'Superboy,' 'Aqualad,' 'Zatanna,' 'Kid Flash," and finally the last one that made Barbara's heart throb a little bit, 'Robin.'
"And this will be your room for the time being," He said, opening a navy blue door, "feel free to un pack, and maybe even take a nap, I have to address the team on some matters first, before I introduce you."
"Alright, thank you." Barbara smiled, entering her room and watching the door shut behind her as he left.
'Well…what to do…what to do…" Barbara sighed as she un zipped her duffle bag, and began opening random drawers, filling them with clothes.
"Attention team, please be ready, and report to the training room in 30 minutes." Batman's voice filled over the intercom, making Barbara jump.
'Well…I can look forward to hearing that every morning,' she said to herself and closed the last drawer, followed by throwing her duffel bag under the bed and walking towards the bathroom.
"Whoa," Barbara gasped as she looked at herself in the mirror. "I look pretty hot in this," she winked at herself in the mirror, eyeing herself from bottom to top. "Alright Babs," she whispered, "This is what you want. This is what you need. This is what you worked so bloody hard for. You can do this."
8:45 A.M
Mount Justice
Omniscient (Dick's P.O.V)
Dick Grayson, sleepily pulled himself through the hallways in his tight Robin suit, over to the training room, to greet the rest of his tired team mates.
"What does Batman want?" Superboy asked him, while they waited for the rest of the girls to join them.
"No idea," Robin replied sleepily.
Dick suddenly felt a cold breeze appear as his friend Wally West appeared beside him. "What's with this Robin? Bats never calls us in until noon." He yawned, "He's seriously cutting into my snooze time."
'For the last time, I have no idea, I haven't talked to Batman in a few days." Dick answered, taking a seat on a bench beside Kid Flash and Superboy.
Finally, Zatanna, Artemis and Aqualad made their way into the training room followed by Batman, who probably needed to bang on their doors, to tell them to hurry up.
"I'm sure you're all wondering why I called you here, this early." Batman started, in a loud voice.
"You bet." KF whispered to Dick, crossing his arms.
Batman continued, "I do have a good reason though. Over the past few days, I've been training a girl who I believe has the potential to be as good as all of you here."
Kid Flash jumped in his seat, "Sweet a chick!"
Batman ignored Wally's loud comment, "I'd like to introduce a new member of your team to you all this morning."
Robin gave Batman many puzzled glances, 'why didn't he tell me about this?' he wondered. 'I wasn't gone for that long,' he muttered to himself, earning a swift jab in the ribs from Kid Flash, telling him to shut up.
Batman stepped aside and whispered to Barbara behind him, "Batgirl?"
Barbara took a deep breath and stepped out from behind Batman nervously, "Hi guys, I'm Batgirl."
