2. Chapter 2

A/N: This was supppsed to be a one shot PWP. It's starting to be a little more. It's not a whole lot of plot but hopefully the main event will be justified by putting all of Babs' issues out there.

Barbara thought about if she could pull her plan off. She knew Dick would be easy. However Bruce Wayne might be a little harder to convince.

Bruce Wayne was a dear friend of her father's. He was her mentor. He was Batman. He also was a one night stand she had. It never should have happened. She started making out with a man she was fighting with. A man who she wanted to be respected by. A man who held power over her. Maybe that's why she threw herself at him. Maybe she thought he would be rough with her. Someone that dark couldn't possibly be gentle and yet he was. It was an amazing experience. She had three orgasms that night.

He told her how beautiful she was. How good she felt. How he wished it could last forever. Yet when the next day came he acted like he wanted nothing to do with her. She was hurt how cold he could be after sharing their bodies with each other. Barbara thinks bitterly now that it doesn't matter if they are gentle or rough. At the end of the day she was just a body to use.

They never brought it up again because the Joker happened soon after. At least Batman wasn't quite as stand offish as Dick was after she was pralyzed. Though it's easier to forget you shared a sexual past with someone when it was one night as opposed to years of sexual exploration.

Even though she couldn't kick ass she still was a smart young woman with skills that were useful. She may not have been on the front lines but she was support to quite a few heroes and a valued team player. Bruce knows Barbara is smart which is why it hurt when he told her she wouldn't cut it as Batgirl again. She forgave him for how he treated her after their night together. Now that he is treating her like a child who needs to be put on time out it's bringing out resentment she thought she had dealt with. It occurred to Barbara that Bruce Wayne is just another dick who thinks he can control what Barbara wants or what she can do.
