At the psychiatrist office, the two Nightwings continued to fight. Nightwing 2 knocks into the wall, and is turned back into Clayface. Nightwing 1, the real Nightwing ran towards him. Clayface turned into Barbara Gordon. Nightwing hesitates. The Barbara impostor kicked Nightwing in the chest, sending him into the east wall. The impostor Barbara runs out of the room, turning back into Clayface. Quicksilver grabs Talia in his arm, and ran after him. Harley Quinn also ran out. Helena, Dinah, and Nightwing ran after them.
"Quick. Get us to Egypt. No, wait. The clock tower. Lady Shiva's there." said Harley Quinn.
Quicksilver, holding Talia, grabbed the hands of Clayface and Harley Quinn, as the three heroes ran towards them.
"Not this time." said Harley.
Harley kicked Dinah into Nightwing. The three villains vanished, and Helena grabbed air.
"They went to the clock tower." said Helena.
"Did she say Lady Shiva was there" asked Dinah.
"Oh, no. Barbara. Lady Shiva is after Barbara, and so are they." said Nightwing.
"We've got to get back there fast." said Helena.
The three heroes ran out of the building, and call Reese on the way to meet them there.
At the clock tower, Harley, Quicksilver, and Clayface appeared. They found the control box. They turn the power on, and see Lady Shiva and Barbara in opposite corners of the room. Barbara is back in her wheelchair.
"Lady Shiva. I see you are getting your revenge after all." said Harley.
Barbara wheeled over to the computer, and shut it down, which locked everyone else out of it. Then she wheeled herself to her room, and locked the door. The three villains heard the squeaking wheels, and the locked door. Harley runs to the computer.
"She locked us out." said Harley.
"She's smarter than I thought." said Clayface.
Barbara's room.
"Huntress. Canary. Get back here fast. Harley Quinn, Clayface, Quicksilver, and Lady Shiva are all here. I won't be able to hold them off for much longer." said Barbara.
"We're almost there. Be careful." said Dinah's voice.
Outside the clock tower, Dinah and Reese arrive, and scale the building with Batropes. They climb up to see Helena already there.
"How- Never mind. I should be used to this." said Reese.
"That's right. You should." said Helena.
"Shh. They could still hear us." said Dinah.
Reese, Huntress, and Dinah snuck in, and see the four villains.
"Well, I'm pretty sure Nightwing, Helena, Dinah, and Reese will be arriving soon." said Harley Quinn.
"Then we better work fast. I want to at least have the redhead dead, before we leave. She's the last of the original team, besides Nightwing. And with Batman, Catwoman, Robin, and Black Canary off in South America, it will only be a matter of time." said Quicksilver.
"You fool. They could have hidden cameras. You can't just tell the Joker's plan in plan view." said Harley Quinn.
"Are we later for the party?" asked a voice.
Harley Quinn, Clayface, Quicksilver, and Lady Shiva turn around to see Helena, Dinah, Nightwing, and Reese.
"I hate party crashers." said Lady Shiva.
"Yeah. They're no fun." said Harley, her eyes turning blue.
"Oh, I forgot about your split personality." said Helena.
"Well, toots. It seems like you're going to say goodbye." said Harley.
Harley pulled out a gun, and fired it. Helena, Dinah, and Reese instinctively duck, while Nightwing remained standing. Confetti flies around the room as the dust settles. The villains are gone, and Barbara's door is open.
"Barbara!" said Helena.
The group ran in, and found no one. Barbara is gone.
"Now what do we do?" asked Dinah.
"We find her." said Dick.
Dick headed to the Delphi, and turned it on.
"Do you know what you're doing?" asked Helena.
"Yes. Bruce taught Barbara and me most of what we know about electronics." said Dick.
Alfred arrived in the elevator.
"Dick?" asked Alfred.
"Lady Shiva, Clayface, and Harley took Barbara." said Dick.
"Oh, no. Then it is as we feared." said Alfred.
"As who feared?" asked Helena.
Dick and Alfred began to feel uncomfortable.
"Is this about your conversation I heard a couple of days ago, about the three of you hiding a secret from Helena and me?" asked Dinah.
"Yes. It is. We heard from Bruce. The Joker and Ra's Al Ghul sent Quicksilver. He took Robin, Batman and Catwoman the day Catwoman was supposed to have been "killed". Only she was just drugged to look like she was dead. We just discovered this last week." said Dick.
"Black Canary was taken later, but the four of them escaped, one week ago, but their plane was redirected to South America, before it crashed. Mr. Powers hasn't found any wreckage at all." said Alfred.
"Selena and my mom are alive?" asked Dinah.
"No. I saw her die." said Helena.
"That was Joker's last revenge. To make you believe your mother was dead, and your father abandoned you." said Alfred.
"And Harley was only too happy to make me believe that. She only told me to make me hurt even more." said Helena.
"When did she tell you?" asked Dinah.
"Today at Arkan, before she escaped with Clayface and Quicksilver. I'm assuming they made a second trip to free Lady Shiva." said Helena.
"Yes. The cameras recorded both trips." said Reese.
"Then where did they take Barbara?" asked Helena.
"Far away." said Nightwing.
"Where?" asked Dinah.
"Egypt." said Dick.
A look of shock and horror went across Helena and Dinah's faces.
South America. They've been there for one week. The crew, and half of the passengers had died from diseases. With no medicine, they weren't able to protect themselves. The Captain, Bruce, Selena, Carolyn, and Tim continued to lead the group north to safety.
Ra's Al Ghul, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, Penguin, Riddler, and Two Face were traveling. All of their henchman had died during the trip. Quicksilver had returned, and taken all of the loot to Egypt for safekeeping, before they left so they could be safe, without being taken by anyone. They see the group up ahead.
"We have a problem. The Detective has led them very well. They are now in the outskirts of Mexico. If they make it there, they'll be able to get back to the States. Back to New Gotham." said Ra's Al Ghul.
"Why not let them? We just keep four passengers for ourselves. We don't need those others. Let them return home." said Poison Ivy.
"Or we could just freeze them all." said Mr. Freeze, replacing the bullets in his gun.
"It's agreed. We'll kill them all." said Penguin.
The eight archenemies of Batman, Robin, Catwoman, and Black Canary lurched forward hoping to get rid of them.
"Just a few more minutes, and we'll reach the Mexican border." said Bruce.
Everyone now more cheerful than they have been, run for the border. The four heroes and the Captain ran after them. The villains gave chase as well. Soon the civilian passengers, the four heroes, and the Captain are across the border. The Mexican police take the civilians to a hospital. Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Penguin, Riddler, Ra's Al Ghul, Two Face, and Scarecrow arrive, and walked after them. Just then a figure emerged from the ground. It's Quicksilver.
"What are you doing here?" asked Ra's Al Ghul.
"Harley Quinn, Clayface, and Lady Shiva are safely in Egypt, with Barbara Gordon, former Batgirl." said Quicksilver.
"Why are you here?" asked Ra's Al Ghul.
"To take you back to Egypt. Your daughter misses you." said Ra's Al Ghul.
"All right. Fine. Let's go. We can deal with the detective and his friends later." said Ra's Al Ghul.
"Actually I'm going to stay here in South America. It's doing wonders for my research. My lab is great, and with the funds I receive from the Joker, I've been doing well. I'm at home here, and I don't want to leave." said Poison Ivy.
"Neither do I." said Mr. Freeze.
"Fine. You two can remain here, just don't get yourself caught." said Ra' Al Ghul.
Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze nod, as Quicksilver vanished with them to take them back to their base.
"Now's our chance to get revenge on the bat before Quicksilver returns." said Penguin.
"A good idea." said Riddler.
Riddler, Two Face, Scarecrow, Penguin, and Ra's Al Ghul walk across the border, and head for the hospital.
Hospital. The villains arrive, and so does Quicksilver.
"Fine. Take them, and come back for me. I want to at least try to kill them." said Ra's Al Ghul.
Quicksilver nodded, and vanished with Killer Croc, Two Face, Scarecrow, Penguin, and Riddler. Ra's Al Ghul began searching the rooms, and soon discovered the two adjoining rooms. one holding Tim Drake and Bruce Wayne, and one having Selena Kyle and Carolyn Lance.
"Excellent. Well, detective. Your luck has run out." said Ra's Al Ghul, who began walking down the hall towards the rooms.
Egypt. Quicksilver appears with Killer Croc, Two Face, Scarecrow, Penguin, and Riddler. Joker welcomes them, and gets them comfortable rooms, and then they all walked into the conference room, to see all the loot they have collected over the past six years, including the attack on the plane that crashed in South America.
"Where is my father?" asked Talia.
"He's gone after Batman and the others. I'll go get him." said Quicksilver, vanishing.
Talia grabbed onto him, going with him.
South America. At a hospital room, the four heroes are finished treatment, and are relaxing. Ra's Al Ghul knocks on the door.
"Hello, Detective." said Ra's Al Ghul.
Talia and Quicksilver appear behind him.
"Talia?" asked Ra's Al Ghul.
"I wanted to see him dead for what he's done to me." said Talia.
"Yes. Of course." said Ra's Al Ghul.
"We should have just let Clayface and Hawke kill the two of you(looks at Selena and Carolyn), and then kill the two(looks at Bruce and Tim) of you, the day we kidnapped you." said Talia.
"Well, that's about to change." said Bruce, throwing a Batarang.
Ra's Al Ghul blocks it with his staff.
"Get Talia back to Egypt. I won't have the Detective and his friends hurt her." said Ra's Al Ghul.
Black Canary uses the Canary Cry, hurling the three villains into the hall. Bruce, Tim, Selena, and Carolyn dash out of the room, and down the hallway.
"I told you to get her back to Egypt." said Ra's Al Ghul.
"All right." said Quicksilver.
Ra's Al Ghul turns the corner.
"Time to get you home." said Quicksilver.
Talia grabbed Quicksilver by the arm, and hurled him into the wall with strong force.
"Talia? What are you doing?" asked Quicksilver.
"The time my father and I have spent in the pool, have given us enhanced strength, and enhanced senses. I'm not going to abandon my father, after all he's done for me." said Talia.
Talia ran down the hall after the group. Quicksilver grabs the door handle, and pulls himself up. Clutching his side, Quicksilver ran after Talia.
In the hallway, the four heroes make it outside of the hospital. Ra's Al Ghul is right behind them, followed by Talia, and Quicksilver.
"three against three. I think we have the odds." said Carolyn.
"There's four of us." said Tim.
"No offense, but I don't trust Selena. She could join up with them in a second." said Carolyn.
"I would never do that. Our daughters seem to be friends, and I want to get back to her, not remain in this place, forever." said Selena.
"Then we better think of a plan fast, before they find us. Tim and I don't have our costumes, we lost them in the plane crash." said Bruce.
"I just hope Helena and Dinah are all right." said Carolyn.
"Don't worry. Barbara is with them. I'm sure they are fine. Right now, they are probably sitting down to dinner." said Bruce.
New Gotham. In the clock tower, Dick, Helena, Dinah, and Alfred changed, and now wearing civilian clothes. Helena, Dick, Dinah, and Alfred are sitting at a table, but the three heroes are barely eating.
"What's wrong? Is my cooking gone bad?" asked Alfred.
"Oh, no. It's great. It's just, we can't help Barbara. We don't even know where she is." said Dinah.
"Don't worry. You'll find her. But you should also be concerned for your parents, and Mister Drake. For if those villains in South America find them, they may not survive." said Alfred.
"Then we find Barbara, and then make sure Mr. Powers finds them." said Dick.
"What? I'm going with him." said Helena.
"No, you can't. Like it or not, New Gotham is where you live, where you protect. Like I protect New York." said Dick.
"You haven't been doing that recently." said Helena.
"Yeah, well, I'm worried about Barbara too, but I think I do need to go back to New York, now. There is more crime there than here." said Dick.
"All right. Be careful, and we'll call you if we find Barbara or hear from her." said Dinah.
Dick nods, as the group continued eating.
The next day, Dick got into his car. His Nightwing costume, and his other belongings are in his car, too. He waved goodbye to Dinah, Helena, and Alfred, and drives away towards New York. The two girls and Alfred went back upstairs in the elevator hoping to find Barbara.
Egypt. Barbara struggles with the chains. Tsunami and Firestarter walk in.
"Hi. Listen. The boss is returning soon. He's going to kill your remaining friends. Batman, Robin, Catwoman, and Black Canary. And then Huntress, that blonde girl, that old man, that black cop, and Nightwing. Then no one will be able to stop us." said Firestarter.
Barbara looks at them angrily. The two meta henchman, just laugh as they walk out of the dungeon, leaving Barbara struggling to escape her confinement.
"I've got to get out of here, and warn Helena." said Barbara.
At the Lazarus Pool, Lady Shiva takes out a vial, and takes some of the pool water in. She then trips, and falls into a machine which turns on. It blasts Lady Shiva, who doesn't scream, because she doesn't want anyone to find her there. A few minutes later, the helmet is removed, and she realizes it took away her need for revenge. She looks at the name, and realizes this is a machine to turn good to evil, most likely metas.
Lady Shiva realizes where the Silver Brothers came from. She had remembered hearing about their disappearance. They must have been kidnapped by the Joker, and turned evil. She had to find a way to turn them good. No one deserved to be a slave to maniacs like Joker, Harley, and Ra's Al Ghul.
She heard Tsunami and Firestarter coming, and brought them in. She then knocked the two into the machine, before they can defend themselves. The machine turned them good, but their screamed echo the place. Tsunami and Firestarter looked around confused as the machine is lifted up.
"What happened?" asked Quicksilver.
"No time to explain. We've got to free Barbara, and get out of here." said Lady Shiva.
The two brothers nodded, and ran out with Lady Shiva.
Dungeon. Firestarter, Tsunami, and Lady Shiva arrived.
"Hello, Barbara." said Lady Shiva.
"What do you want?" asked Barbara.
"I want to make you an offer you can't refuse." said Lady Shiva.
She unlocked the dungeon cell door, and walked in. She closes the door, and blocks all the openings in the door.
"You're serious?" asked Barbara.
"Yes. Helena is my friend. And while I've been in jail, and later free, I've had time to think. I'm not going to come after you anymore." said Lady Shiva.
"Why the change of heart?" asked Barbara.
"I don't believe you did it on purpose anymore. It was an accident." said Lady Shiva.
Lady Shiva freed Barbara from the chains. Barbara fell to the ground, since she is still paralyzed. Lady Shiva poured a green liquid over Barbara's legs, unparalyzing her.
"What did you do?" asked Barbara, now realizing she can feel her legs again.
"It was from Ra's Al Ghul's pool. The bad news is, it will wear off. This way, I can get you away safely, without having to carry you." said Lady Shiva.
"All right. Let's go. What about them?(pointing to Tsunami and Firestarter)" said Barbara.
" Joker had some machine made to turn good people evil, and it can also do vice versa. It worked on them and me. We have to save Quicksilver, and turn him good. Then we can teleport back to New Gotham." said Lady Shiva.
"You think he wants to do this to metas." said Barbara.
"That's probably why he kidnapped Carolyn and Selena to have them be his next test subjects, since it worked so good on the Silver Brothers." said Lady Shiva.
"Then we better hide somewhere until Quicksilver returns." said Barbara.
The group nodded, and ran down the hall back to the where the machine was.
"Why did you really have the change of heart?" asked Barbara.
"I haven't been honest with you, Barbara." said Lady Shiva.
"About what?" asked Barbara.
"I made you think I was Lady Shiva. I'm not. She was my older sister. You see I was in the costume, testing it out, when you showed up. My sister was asleep upstairs. You killed her by accident, but I was filled with rage, and wanted to get revenge. But after I met Helena, I felt a little better than I had in a long time. I finally left, and took up my sister's mantle, becoming a bounty hunter. Until I returned, and you know the rest." said Lady Shiva.
"I had no idea." said Barbara.
"I know. I did want revenge, but I realized that you getting paralyzed, was a kind of revenge, but now that you've suffered, I hope you can get to walk again, permanently." said Lady Shiva.
"So do I." said Barbara.
Barbara, Lady Shiva, and the two Silver Brothers take their hiding places waiting for the arrival of Quicksilver, and hoping that they hadn't set off any hidden alarms.
AN: In my story, Lady Shiva died in the fire, and her sister took up her mantle, hiding it from everyone. She isn't as cold as her sister may have been. I didn't really know much about Lady Shiva, Barbara's archrival, but I thought this makes more sense. If Lady Shiva was around when Barbara was Batgirl, then she couldn't have gone to school with Helena, so Lady Shiva had to have been her sister, but the WB never mentioned this, and therefore messed the episode up a lot.
