Alfred smiles

Barbara- "But this cant be caused by Shiva" Alfred- "And why cant it?" Barbara- "Shiva died.years ago. Remember that night, at the governors party.when she robbed them blind?"

Alfred- "I think I recall" Barbara- "Well I met her, and than there was a large explosion.and the police found her body awhile later" Alfred- "Maybe someone else?"

Barbara- "That's what I am trying to look into"

She picks up her phone

Barbara- "Hunter, go to downtown Gotham, on the news a little awhile ago someone was running from the cops and heading for the jewelers, I want you to bring me back the throwing card.I have a feeling there will be another one" Voice- "Sure, any particular reason?" Barbara- "Just please do it"

She looks up at her costume

Barbara- "I am not the hero I once was Alfred" Alfred- "Thank goodness" Barbara- "What?" Alfred- "Batgirl was strong, she would fight until everything was done and justice was seen.
