Barbara Gordon Part II

Disclaimer: I still don't own Young Justice.

So because I don't know the reason Batgirl became Batgirl in Young Justice, I am taking some liberties, so read on! :)

Barbara looked at herself in the mirror; she couldn't believe she was about to do this. There the fifteen year old stood in a grey suite with a black bat emblazed across her chest and a cape fell from her shoulders. But she had to save her father from the Joker. That mad man had taken control of the Gotham PD headquarters where her father was. The Joker threatened to blow it up if the city didn't give him $999,999.99 by midnight. Batman for some reason wasn't there yet so Barbara decided to go in.

The costume she had made in secret, yes she had been thinking about this for a while. However tonight was actually the first night she would act on her secret dream. Taking a deep breath she pulled the cowl over her face. The feeling she felt, felt foreign to her. She felt her heart rate raise she was nervous, excited, the closest she felt to what she was feeling now was when she was at her first ice skating competition.

Looking at herself in the mirror she smirked, there was going to be a new bat in Gotham.

Out of all the terrible ideas Barbara had ever come up with… This was a pretty terrible one. She thought it was a great idea twenty minutes ago, but that was the thing, twenty minutes ago. Currently she was dodging, or at least attempting to, the Joker's playing cards. One cut her arm and she hissed in irritation. This was not her idea of saving her father. There she was standing in the middle of the main lobby with her father twenty feet in front of her unconscious with several other city officials.

"Let them go Joker!" Barbara yelled.

"I think I'll play with you instead mini-bat!" Joker laughed back. Joker then pulled out a gun and aimed it at her. Barbara froze.

Suddenly there was a laugh through the air and a flying disc knocked the gun out of Joker's hands.

"BIRD BOY!" Joker yelled in excitement his attention leaving Barbara pulling out another gun. "Here to help your new friend?" he called. Robin suddenly landed in front of Barbara, Batman missing from the picture.

"Who?" Robin said turning to see Barbara standing panting behind him. "Who… what… I'll deal with you later!" the teenager yelled. Growling the boy wonder turned to look at Joker.

"Where's battie?" Joker asked smiling licking his lips.

"Not here," Robin answered.

"What do you mean not here?" Barbara demanded.

"Stay out of this newbie!" Robin snapped. "Make yourself useful free the hostages! I'll distract Joker," he ordered his attention turning on Joker.

"Fine…" Barbara said under her breath. Suddenly Robin charged the crown prince of crime. Barbara rushed towards her father and the other captives and pulled out her single bat-a-rang that she had taken from a crime screen where she had be saved by Batman and Robin when she was younger. Using she started to cut the ropes around the city officials.

"Who are you?" her father asked. Barbara paused trying to think.

"Bat… girl?" she said as she cut the ropes. "Once you are all free run," she ordered as she cut the last rope on the last city official. Batgirl looked over to the ongoing fight, where was Batman? Robin was flipping and turning attempting to get close enough to the Joker to take him out. Batgirl stood in awe remembering the first night she meet the boy wonder. He was older now, he was better at this hero thing. The Joker suddenly turned taking notice his hostages were gone.

"Well, well… Someone has been playing behind my back!" Joker laughed. 'That's not very nice…" he pouted. "I guess I am going to have to have my own fun!" at that Joker turned his gun on Batgirl and fired.

"NO!" Robin yelled rushing towards Batgirl and pushing her down. There was a crash and everything happened quickly. Batman showed up out of nowhere, took the Joker out, the police rushed in and took the Joker away and Batman was next to Batgirl and Robin.

Batgirl looked around confused and noticed Robin holding his forearm and Batman glaring at the bird, a silent conversation. Batgirl got up and walked over and looked at Batman.

"Don't be mad at him," Batgirl said. "I was the one who came first, he was only trying to protect me," she added. "And it wasn't like you were here to help, where were you anyways?"

Batman's glare turned on her. She looked up and glared back refusing to yield. Robin looked at them both and started to laugh. Batman then looked back to Robin who fell silent.

Batgirl watched the silent conversation picking up on a few of what they were saying. Robin's face softened and Batman turned around and left.

"I only caught half that," Batgirl said. "Something about you being okay," she added.

"It's surprising that you even caught that much," Robin answered back. "Now, go home," at that the bird disappeared.

It took a few more missions for the bat and the bird to warm up to Barbara. At first they ordered her to leave, but after much insistence and always showing up everywhere they did they started to trust her… some… At least they gave her, her own bat-communicator.

Finally after a particularly nasty battle with Joker in which Barbara endured a few scratches and Robin a bullet to the leg she was in the Batmobile.

"Batgirl!" Batman snapped. "Try and stop the bleeding on Robin's leg!" Batgirl nodded pressing her hands against Robin's leg. He groaned and winced as she did so.

"God I hate bullet wounds," Robin managed. "Never get used to them…" he muttered shifting in the back seat. The Batmobile zoomed through the streets of Gotham and finally halted to a quick stop as a brick wall opened. Batman speed through the open wall through a series of tunnels and then stopped on a platform that rose towards a large cave. Batgirl looked out the window in awe.

"Get ready to help me move Robin," Batman ordered as the top of the Batmobile opened up. Batgirl nodded and looked at the pale faced Robin who was breathing heavily.

"Don't worry about me Babs…" Robin muttered. Batgirl paused for a brief moment as Batman took him from her. Batgirl followed quietly as Batman and an elderly man who was busy inspecting Robin's wound.

"It went straight through, it didn't anything major," the English man said. Batman nodded. "I'll clean and dress it, he needs to rest for at least a week and no missions for two weeks after."

Batgirl watched ignoring the blood on her hands as the British man took care of Robin. Batman walked over to her.

"You need to be looked at," he stated. Batgirl nodded and followed. It would be awesome to be in the Batcave any other time except for now. Batman started to clean the long hyena scratches on her arms. She winced as he did so, as she was calming down she started to feel the dull pain coming from her arms.

"Is he going to be alright?" she asked looking over at Robin.

"He'll be fine Barbara," Batman answered.

"You know?" she asked. Batman smirked.

"He is the Batman," said Robin who was being pushed over in a wheelchair towards them. The butler nodded as he pushed Robin forward.

"If you get to know who I am then do I get to know who you are?" she asked.

"Well since you'll be replacing me for two weeks I guess so," Robin answered back.

"You mean three," Batman muttered.

"We'll see about that, anyways, Barbara Gordon, allow me to introduce myself," Robin pulled off his domino mask to reveal baby blue eyes. Barbara's eyes widened.

"Dick?" she managed. Suddenly everything started to click, the sudden absences at school, the injuries, leaving suddenly in the middle of class for urgent business. Then that made Batman…. "You're… and he's…"

"I'm Robin and he's Bruce Wayne, I guess there aren't anymore secrets between us."
