Episode # 37 – Girls Night Out
(Tayla: Here's a little special one to be on here instead from The New Batman Adventures 'Batman: The Animated Series season 4', for this episode features – Helen, Megan, Supergirl, Batgirl, a little from Batman and Jake to have Superman mention a little, Bullock, Penguin, Livewire, Harley, Ivy, and the two hyenas. So, enjoy this girls night out fun of super heroes vs. The villains of them.)
A prison truck from Metropolis is entering Gotham City. The prisoner is Livewire, on her way to experimental treatments at GothCorp that may succeed in returning her to normal. Really? A criminal like her to go from Metropolis to Gotham? However, the truck drives past a recent road accident, where a power cable has fallen to the ground. The truck passes close enough to let Livewire absorb its power and escape.
"And the fun keeps on coming! I'm free!" she said to make a break for it.
On the streets, Megan and Batgirl are driving the Batmobile, searching the city for Livewire.
"Anything, Barbara?" Megan asked.
"I got nothing since she escaped about an hour ago, Megan?" she said. "And you?"
"I can't even hack through any parts on my computer book to get anything from this Livewire character. This villain's something else who can control lighting... (Thanks for the heads up, Clark.)
Seems that Megan, Batman, and Batgirl were informed about Superman's enemy to break free to cause trouble in Gotham City. And from Livewire's skills, Megan was unable to hack into anything to track the villain down.
"We're still on standby, Bruce."
For Barbara to say that, Bruce/Batman was out for the time being to leave the rest up to the girls for tonight.
"I'll try to get back about three to four hours, you two be careful out there." he said. "Megan, you can do this with Barbara. I'll try to get you two some back up just in case." Over the radio, Batman tells the two girls that he'll be back in Gotham in two days, and will try to get her some backup in the meantime.
"Please do, Bruce." Megan places her hand on the computer screen like Batman was to sign out when they were done. "We'll take care of this mess."
"Later, Bruce." she hangs. "It just you and me tonight, Megan, or until someone else helps us out later. But knowing a villain like Livewire, she should be heading back to Metropolis right about now."
Batgirl isn't worried, assuming Livewire is already heading back to Metropolis...until she spots Livewire skimming along some power cables.
"(That must be Livewire.) You were saying, Barbara?" Megan questions her friend.
"Never mind."
Livewire spots Batgirl and Megan and immediately lands on the Batmobile's hood, sending a current through the body that shocks Batgirl.
"Hi. I'm Livewire." said the villain. "We didn't introduce ourselves from a costume wearing girl, and a woman bounty hunter. So let just cut to the chase and spark things up with you two."
She started electrocute Megan and Batgirl with no way out! In Metropolis, Kara Kent and Helen Star were house-sitting for Clark Kent while he himself is out of town. As for Jake Star, he was on a school field trip to alert his sister of the danger ahead to watch out for.
"Other than staying with your group, Jake...you better behave there without me." she tells Jake. "Do as your teacher tells you, stay close to your friends, and bring me something back at Washington for me like you promised."
"I get it, Helen, quit bugging me...Also, you and Kara stay alert, Livewire's in Gotham City to cause trouble to put Megan in danger with Batman. Or anyone else who's working for him. Anyways, you two know what I mean in a bit. Say hit to Batman for me."
After Jake hangs up, this gets Helen's attention.
"Oh, okay...Bye?" she was lost. "Livewire?"
"Huh? What about Livewire?" Kara asked. "How's Jake doing?"
"He's fine. But he said to watch out for Livewire who's in Gotham City. (Another one of his magic sensing danger from afar?)"
Helen needed to know what Jake meant there...While on the phone with Kara's foster mother, she reports that, much to her disappointment, crime in Metropolis is slow that week. Then Batman telephones the apartment, asking for Clark Kent. Without giving his name, Batman advises Clark that Livewire is loose in Gotham, and if Kent wants to 'get on top of the story', he should head there, immediately. With Superman gone, Kara immediately dons her Supergirl outfit and flies to Gotham.
"Hey, Helen! Come on! Someone wants us to take over Clark's place to stops Livewire in Gotham. Your brother was right." said Kara to take flight. "Race you to the city."
Helen sees that her brother was right for her arm to react to get into her workout uniform to take flight to follow Kara and away they go.
"(Jake, you're right again.) Alright, Kara, let's take off!"
While back in Gotham, had Batgirl and Megan in grave danger Livewire's powerful sparks. For Barbara/Batgirl had a plan.
"Megan, hold on to me!"
Batgirl manages to escape with Megan holding on to her legs of the Batmobile by ejecting, landing safely in Gotham Park.
"Wow!" Megan shakes the shocking feeling out of her system. "That was a real shocker, and not saying that literally."
Livewire lands in the park and begins tossing electric blasts, but all Batgirl can do is dodge acrobatically.
"Nice moves, now here's one of mine." Livewire fires away again.
Megan uses her ESP to push Livewire to the ground.
"Stand down!"
"No..." she fights back to give Megan a powerful push. "You stand up."
"Crap!" Megan couldn't escape in time.
Livewire finally nails at the two crime fighting heroes with one and is about to shock her to death when Supergirl appears, grabs Batgirl and flies off. Helen does the same thing to shield Megan with he rubber gloves to rescue her friend just in time.
"Hi, Megan, do you miss me?" Helen jokes with her.
"Helen?" she was flying. "Oh, I forgot you can fly. And thanks." Megan then sees Supergirl. "Superman's sister?"
Same with Helen seeing Batgirl as well for the first time.
"Batman's sister?"
"Supergirl?" Batgirl sees her hero.
"That's me." she said. "And we're your back up. Supergirl's my name. And this is Helen Star."
Then Batgirl introduces herself next.
"I'm Batgirl, and this is friend/partner Megan Tsuki, The Psych and bounty hunter."
But another blast from Livewire drops them both out of the sky.
"I know that Supergirl and Superman are family, like cousins! And Batgirl's friends with Batman, I get it!" Helen tries to save Supergirl's life from Livewire. "Let her go!"
"At least Superman had the smarts to keep his distance. Tsk, tsk. Half the size, half the strength, and apparently, half the brain. And more to you, Helen-!" Livewire gets hit from Batgirl's Batarangs to make her stop and Megan's stun spray. "Ew! Hey, you two, ever heard of what happens of a bug getting hit by a bug zapper?" Livewire is about to kill both of them, but then her power runs down, and disappears. "Oops, lunch break. I'll be back, ladies."
So much for getting hold of Livewire.
"Hey!" Megan miss her chance. "Looks like its going to take more than my powers to stop her."
"Tell me about it." and Helen to look at Gotham City. "So this is what Gotham looks like, Jake's going to like hearing about this one."
"You said it, Helen."
'Welcome to Gotham', Batgirl says, by way of greeting.
"Helen. Supergirl. Welcome to Gotham." said Batgirl.
As the GPD mobilizes to capture Livewire, Harvey Bullock reproaches the girls for letting her get away.
"So she smoked ya." Bullock said to Batgirl, Supergirl, and Helen. "Not you, Megan, you gave it your all."
She feels bad for the other girls to be talks back but her.
"Yeah, whatever. Thanks for worrying."
"Hey!" Helen stands her ground to hate Bullock's attitude. "Trying to hit on Megan who loves Batman? Really? Some cop you are!"
"And we put up a fight." Supergirl explains.
Like Bullock would listen to those who work for Batman and a lot more form out of town.
"And lost. I never thought I'd hear myself saying this, but where's the Bat? Do you know, Megan?"
"He said he took care of something to leave the rest to us." she answers back. "He's my boyfriend, I'm not his mother."
He is in the unusual position of asking for Batman's whereabouts, and telling the two 'amateurs' to stay out of the GPD's way.
"We're handling this." Batgirl added.
For that, this allows Bullock to handle this case alone instead of the other girls but Megan.
"Oh, that's reassuring." he ignores her.
Supergirl fumes, but Batgirl encourages her that together they are more than a match for Livewire.
"He needs a real girlfriend." Helen said.
"Either way, Megan and I are glad you two are here. Working together, we can take Livewire on."
Good point there, Batgirl.
"I don't see why not." Megan said. "With Jake on his field trip, Superman on a business trip, and Batman doing something else for a bit, we can stop Livewire. A girl battle of good versus evil."
As Megan and Batgirl like Helen to know Supergirl a lot more, they were in.
"(Sounds like fun.) Okay!"
"Sure!" same with Kara/Supergirl. "Four against one seems fair to us. Let's do it."
In a defunct zoo garden, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are sharing a hideout. Oh, this is not good at all.
"Your hyenas have been watering my plants again." Ivy tells Harley about her two hyenas to mess with her plants. "One more time, and they're mulch!"
Harley is itching to get out and have some fun, but Ivy says they can't draw Batman's attention until they have 'an edge'.
"But its so boring..."
Then Livewire appears out of their toaster and proclaims 'Ladies, meet your edge!'
"Well, ladies, meet your edge." she said.
The new villainess team goes to a closed shopping mall to loot the cash machines and raid the stores.
"Pick up the cash and load it into the car!" Livewire gives Harley an order. "I'm going shopping!"
She grabs a bill and walks off for Harley turns to Ivy next.
"When did we become 'the gang'?"
With the three causing trouble – the four heroes go to find Livewire 'without knowing about Harley or Ivy to be with her yet'. For Supergirl gives Batgirl a ride for her to fly all over town.
"Wow!" Batgirl was flying on top of Supergirl's shoulder. "This is incredible!"
"I know. It's my favorite part." same with Supergirl.
"It is!" Helen does the same with Megan. "Hold on tight now."
"I know." she does. "This is something else to fly like this than with my own jet back-pack."
With Helen, Megan, Batgirl, and Supergirl arrive and catch Livewire alone, managing to incapacitate her with a coating of electric-resistant silicate dust for Batgirl and Megan.
"You can't shock us now." said Batgirl.
"And I made this thing myself." and Megan to have her gun out. "You're grounded, and more than saying it literally."
Livewire gets punched by Batgirl.
"That's the end of this chapter." Supergirl said.
Helen then gets something bad for her arm to be brighten up.
"Hold up, we got trouble coming."
"Of course you four do, this is only the beginning of this little story." Ivy said.
However, Harley and Ivy join in.
"Harley?" surprised Megan.
"Ivy?" same with Batgirl.
Harley knocks Batgirl into an open elevator, while Ivy tosses plant spores that sprout vines powerful enough to give even Supergirl pause. Helen tries to do something to save them both.
"Hey! Let them go-!" she gets hit from Harley's selter bottle spray to getting hit from the hammer. "Not fair..."
"Megan had to try using her boots to cut Supergirl free.
"(Batgirl! Helen!)" she does her part. "Hang on, Supergirl! I'll get you out!"
Harley washes the silicate off Livewire with a seltzer bottle, incapacitating her even worse by shorting out her powers.
"Hey, Sparky...up and at them!"
Well, that was a very dumb move to do for Livewire mix with water, a very bad combo 'even though it somehow worked'.
"Are you out of your mind?!" Livewire got mad.
As Harley thinks for a minute.
"...Yeah!"
While Harley helps Livewire to their getaway car, Supergirl finally frees herself of the vines and from Megan's cuts to ESP powers of hers.
"Nice!" she said.
"Hey!" Helen calls out to the other girls. "They're getting away!"
Ivy tosses another set at Batgirl, but Supergirl incinerates them with her heat vision – inadvertently releasing a poisonous cloud of pollen that forces Supergirl to grab Batgirl and fly her to safety, while the villainesses escape. Leaving Helen to deal with the poison with some water to absorb and to get rid of.
"I got this!" she takes care of it in seconds to spinning the rest as well.
"I got you, Batgirl." Megan uses a mask to cover her mouth and nose. "The poison will be out of you in no time. (A cheap move to use, Ivy. She, Harley, and Livewire have to be stopped right away.)"
With them becoming friends, Megan and Helen watch them hanging out as well, since Megan got to know Kara/Supergirl and the same with Helen to know of Barbara/Batgirl.
"Cool, living on the farms."
"And becoming a police officer."
Helen and Megan see them getting along like they were doing the same thing.
"Ha! Its funny to see Batgirl growing up to have a new friend like Supergirl is." she said. "So she's Clark/Superman's cousin of another Kryptonian, isn't she?"
"Yeah, I'm still older than she is surprisingly." Helen laughs a little. "She's a good person. And for your friend Barbara/Batgirl is Batman's partner and the daughter of the commissioner police member. That's pretty sweet."
"Its fun to do something once in a while with the men in our lives or friends around."
The two also laughed.
"Don't forget about siblings of some of us. Either way, we'll figure this mess out to get those losers in no time to be ready for anything they try to throw at any one of us."
From Helen's cool absorbing skills to get the hang of it all, and Megan's ESP powers she's been carefully training.
"You're right, we'll be ready by then. I've been through worse to not stop alone. Helen, you know that besides Clark and Jake, you're a good friend I've met. Besides Tim, Dick, and Barbara."
"You are too, Megan, I love Jimmy to care for Jake and Clark, but you're awesome. Annoying at first, but you're the best female bounty hunters out there."
The two have become true friends like Kara and Barbara have with each other and so on. Elsewhere in Gotham, to celebrate, Harley drags Ivy and Livewire to the Iceberg Lounge, but Livewire can't sit at any tables near so much water. As they argue over table choice, the Penguin appears and tries to cease the commotion. When Livewire back talks and calls him 'Lard Butt' he orders them to leave. Smiling, the girls suddenly fuse into a close-knit team and start wreaking havoc, leaving his lounge smothered in tree-sized vines and thorns.
"That's right, I need chainsaws, dump trucks, hedge clippers, and a bottle of aspirin down here, NOW!" Penguin said on the phone.
Later, Batgirl, Megan, Helen and Supergirl approach a frazzled Penguin at the empty Lounge, while he is overseeing a team of hired arborists cutting through the growth.
"Hi, Penguin."
Megan had her gun out at the bird man.
"You two..." he also sees two more with Batgirl and Megan. And...two more ladies who aren't normal I see."
"Not a nice plant room to have." Helen made a joke.
"We're closed." he tells the four girls. "Besides, you three but Megan aren't even old enough to come in here."
Helen got mad to punch a table to break.
"I'm old enough!"
Then Supergirl approaches to Penguin.
"Want to see my I.D.?"
"No!" he said back. "Besides Ms. Megan, I want Batman, Superman, or someone who can do something!"
"But they're out right now, so excuse us." said Megan.
"Like it or not, we're all you've got." Batgirl warns Penguin. "You either play with us, or give up the game."
And from there, Penguin gives in to inform the girls to stop the other bad ones for his Ice Berg's sake.
"Oh, all right. Not that I know anything, mind you four."
"Of course not." said Batgirl to leave Penguin out of it.
They hear him loud and clear.
"Its cool, we got him." Megan tells Helen.
"Right..." she understood. "You're fine, bird man."
"But I do hear rumors about where our green little vixen and her jaded jester may be hiding..." While at first reluctant, he mentions hearing rumors about where Ivy and Harley's hideout is...
And where else you may ask? At the Gotham Zoo, the old one. They enter the zoo, Batgirl carrying a tank of silicate to incapacitate Livewire, but Ivy's plant-based warning system tips off the villainesses, and Ivy quickly relieves Batgirl of the tank.
"So much for master plan." Livewire said to destroying the tank once the plants moved it away.
Comically, Harley knocks herself out by firing her spring-loaded boxing glove at Supergirl from behind – where it bounces harmlessly off Kara's head, shoots back and hits Harley. Trying to get back up...
"Pudding...?"
"Nah, not today, clown girl." Helen uses some ice to freeze up and then kick down. "Basics!" she gets one villain. "(Okay, that's one down...and that was kind of funny. Harley Quinn's not smarter than she looks.)" she laughs.
"Helen?" Supergirl sees if Helen was well.
"Its good, Kara, you just made Harley knock herself out with your strong head."
Ivy wrestles Supergirl to the ground with her plants, while Livewire attacks Batgirl.
"Circus time, ladies." said Ivy.
"No fair!" Megan avoids Livewire's attacks by using her rubber ribbons to whip back. "Not this time!"
"You come prepare, Megan, not bad. Like this will stop me."
Megan throws something for Batgirl to sue as she shields herself from the electric blasts with a garbage pail lid.
"Thanks, Megan!" she said.
Vexed, Livewire fires a souped-up blast, which ends up setting Ivy's plants on fire for Helen uses her heat vision to do the rest.
"Nice, Batgirl! Time to give these animal plants a bing! Bang! And Boom!"
Helen Star has done it.
"My baby!" cried out Ivy.
Desperate to save her 'babies', Ivy releases Supergirl and climbs to a water tower, releasing a stream of water that puts out the fire, for Batgirl pushes her aside for Megan to give her a beat down.
"See ya!" she does it.
"Oh, no..." Livewire was done for.
And the water shocks Livewire unconscious. A stray electrical blast catches Ivy, knocking her out. For Megan to handcuff both Ivy and Harley, Helen uses some rubber to trap Livewire from going anywhere else now.
"And the crowd goes wild!" Helen said.
For she, Batgirl, Supergirl, and Megan all high five each other.
"Now that's what I'm talking about. Girl power!" said Batgirl.
"You said it." and Supergirl. "I guess we'll turn Livewire back to Metropolis both Helen and I, while you and Megan deal with these two. And still, Barbara, we should hang out more besides saving the day from stopping bad guys a lot."
"I agree, we should. Barbara and I can deal with plant lady and clown girl." said Megan. "I say we hang out for the night once we take care of this mess to hang out a little while longer. (I like that idea.)"
The other three with Megan were in – with Batgirl, Helen, and Supergirl all agreed.
"You got it."
"Let's have some fun."
"And to celebrate."
Later, at Barbara's apartment, the four super heroines have treated themselves to a makeover and a pint of ice cream each, as they watch coverage of their success on the news.
"Let's see what's on the news today. After tonight, I still can't wait to tell Jake when he gets back from his trip."
Helen was looking forward to tell both Clark and Jake about it the most.
"Same with my Batman." Megan added.
When interviewed, Bullock admits that the two 'rookies' responsible for capturing the three super-villainesses 'show some potential'.
"Livewire, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn..." said the news woman. "So who was responsible for the collar?"
Asking that question, Bullock says this.
"From Megan and two newbies with Batgirl, they were just three couple of rookies."
Megan hates when Bullock said that about her new friends to be protected by the lieks of that man.
"Rookies?!" shock Barbara.
"You bum!" angered Kara.
"Seriously?!" and Helen.
"Give me a break..." Megan couldn't believe in it.
And the woman says this on TV next.
"Impressive."
Somehow, Bullock gives them all credit. With Harley and Ivy stopped and Livewire back home in Metropolis, everything was all good.
"Well," He turns to the camera. "they show some potential."
Considering the source, Barbara, Megan, Helen, and Kara recognize high praise, and share a resounding high-five.
"Yes!" said the three.
"See, you guys? Bullock means well for us to get the job done. (And then some.)" Megan added. "A girls night out this turn out to be."
You said it, Megan. For Helen to have some more fun with her friend, along with Barbara and Kara too. Another good crossover that was, huh? You said it! And here's a bonus song from 1989 with Tyler Collins – Girl Night Out.
Lyrics:
I'm sick and tired of being left at home
While the boys go out and leave us all alone, yeah
I wanna go out with my girlfriends and party all nite
And this time you won't change my mind
'Cause I've got my mind made up, so don't wait up for me
It's that girls nite out, women nite out
And there's nothing you can say, baby
It's that girls nite to play, women nite to play
So don't wait up for me
You're stepping out, and we're leaving
All that troubles behind, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
I've got the girls, and we've only got one thing
On our mind, where are we going tonite?
The time is right, so are you ready to party all nite?
And this time I'm leaving you behind
'Cause I've got my mind made up, so don't wait up for me
It's that girls nite out, women nite out
And there's nothing you can say, baby
It's that girls nite to play, women nite to play
So don't wait up for me
I like to party, I'm outta here
Which the time has come for the boys to realize
That is our turn to have some fun and it's gonna be tonite
It's that girls nite out, women nite out
And there's nothing you can say, baby
