Gonna be honest, did not think i would still be writing after 10 chapters. So gonna start by saying thanks. Lets begin.
Barbara sat at the cafe once more reminiscing over the days and nights she had been here. I wasn't the vacation she was hoping for but it wasn't the worst. She was making new friends and helping people out. Plus the media was on the thieves side of justice. Across the room was the newest member of the thieves, Futaba, just dialing away on her laptop.
Barb pulled out her phone to send a quick text.
Barb: Is it ok to see what you are working on over there?
Futaba pulled out her phone to read the text, then looked up at Barb before responding
Futaba: No thanks, you would not understand most of it, hacker stuff.
Barb: Try me, i did do a little bit of "hacking" in the states.
Futaba laughed out loud. Sending a bunch of laughing emojis to Barb
Futaba: Yeah right, computer class doesn't count.
Barb: Does computer class knowledge find the where you live?
At that Futaba looked up from her laptop to eye Barb, she then sent one final text
Futaba: Fine, only because i'm bored of this project.
Barb walked over to where Futaba was and sat down next to her.
"So whats this project you are working on?" she asked the hacker
"I'm trying to figure out a cool code name for the next time we go to the metaverse. Also think about how you did find me. I have a pretty secure code and you don't seem like the girl to have a supercomputer on you?"
"That, i honestly took a guess." Barb lied. "For your name, i'm not sure, you do support the team any help us find the enemy shadows. Like a prediction of when they strike."
"Hmm." Futaba said "I GOT IT" she exclaimed before keeping quiet. "How about Oracle!"
Barbara choked on water for a second coughing away from the girl and her computer. "What?!"
"Oracle" She repeated, "I sounds awesome doesn't it?"
"I'm not sure" Barbara said. There was a few people who knew about "Oracle", she did not want to put the girl in risk of any other hacker. Plus she was Oracle.
"Why not?" Futaba asked. "An Oracle predicts the future and supports the hero's, it's perfect!"
Barb did not want to deter the newest member but the name did fit. "Fine, you can be Oracle"
Barb started to get up but she remembered something. "Futaba, How many cell phones can you hack at once?"
"A lot why?"
"How would one be able to do something like that?"
"I would need someone to put a signal onto of a high point and then i would have access to them, but i can't do that unless i go outside."
"Ok just wondering, I have to get home, See you later!"
Futaba waved goodbye and Barb went to prepare for the night.
LINE BREAKER
Futaba stayed in her room that night, checking the Phan-site for any cases the thieves could follow up on tomorrow. It would suck when most of the crew would leave to go to Japan soon. Barbara was a mystery to her. She knew most of the background of the thieves but researching Barbara was difficult.
Suddenly her phone started to ring. She went over to pick it up but it was from an unknown number. "I will just let it ring, Probably a telemarketer" she thought to herself. She went to her computer but the tab had changed. She was now on an image site that had the phrase "Answer the phone". The phone rang again. "What the hell?" she said. This was creepy.
Then computer was typing in the search engine. "Answer the Phone" over and over. The Phone rang again. Feeling annoyed now she picked up.
"Hello"
"Hello Futaba, Don't be alarmed. I need your assistance."
"How do you know my name?"
"Not important" said the stranger. The voice sounded distorted but female.
"Open the new application on your desk."
Futaba looked at her computer to see a new icon. It looked to be in the shape of a bat. She double clicked it to see it was a webcam. There was a darkroom with a green hue. It looked to be in first person. Water then started to fill the room.
"What the hell kind of game is this?"
"It's not a game. You see that question mark im looking at?"
The stranger looked at a green question mark that was illuminating the room.
"Yes"
There is an encryption that will strike this room with electricity if i pick it up. I need you to disable the statue and drain the water. Im almost out of air reserves."
An encryption code popped on the screen. It seemed easy. After two minutes she sent the description back to the stranger. The stranger looked down at their wrist and pressed a few buttons. The water then started to drain.
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" a new voice answered. "YOU CHEATED I KNOW YOU DID"
"Thanks for your help. I'm sorry about this but to cover loses ends the computer will self destruct in 5 seconds. Goodbye Oracle."
The stranger hung up. Futaba raced to her computer With an emergency flash drive. She counted the seconds as she tried to retrieve as many files as possible. She jumped under her bed.

Nothing happened. Futaba walked slowly to her laptop in case if the explosion was a dud. Her monitor was lighting up with the phrase LOL. then a chat icon appeared.
No way i would destroy your setup. I remotely took off the program off with no trace elements. Thank you for the help.-Batgirl.
"No way" she said quietly to herself. She just helped a superhero!
LINE BREAK!
The simulation was a success. She knew that their oracle would be able to help in the real world as well as the multiverse. She closed her laptop when she saw futaba's room lights go off. She then flew off into the night.
LINEBREAK?
"No way" said Ryuji.
"IT WAS REAL" Futaba replied
Barbara entered the Cafe to see the two of the arguing.
"Whats going on?" she asked
"Futaba thinks that the batgirl contacted her last night" Yusuke spoke.
"SHUT UP INARI! I swear it happened!"
"You kids SHUT UP!" sojiro yelled. "Dont scare away customers"
"Anyway" Akira interrupted "We should go to the beach as a group. Give some time off."
"That sounds dumb, Besides i don't have a bathing suit." Futaba responded feeling annoyed
"Then how about us girls let's go shopping for one as well. Barb you want to come?" Ann asked.
"Sure, sounds like fun." Barb replied.
LINEBREAK
"Shopping is annoying" Barbara thought to herself as the group of girls went into the shop. There was a bunch of swimwear to choose from. The focus was on Futaba though, They decided on something cute for the girl, Futaba on the other hand wasn't that interested in the shopping, staying on the smart phone.
Barbara went around to use the restroom to send her a text from batgirl. Making her phone encrypted she sent her a message.
Nicely done once again. Last night was a simulation of your skills. This message will last only 30 min. This is to show your thieves that i know who you are, I support your cause. But you break my trust I will find you and turn you in. You have my word. Put this in your group chat to make this faster.-Batgirl.
I want to end this on a fun note. I can't believe i have still been writing this story for 11 chapters now. I will say the reveal will be coming and the next palace for the crew is coming. I hope i can make a good place for our villain. Thanks for the reviews and the views. As long as there is some people still reading this i will keep typing away. Thanks once again.
