Hey everyone

Disclaimer: I own nothing… not even The Batman.

Directions: This installment is the third part in a series documenting Batgirl's story throughout the episode "Strange New World."

"Strange New World" Part 3

Now Robin had not had a great day either. To his knowledge, everyone he knew had been transformed into a mindless zombie. It didn't help that he spent much of his time playing videogames involving evil zombies. Alfred had told him several times to put down the videogames and do something constructive, but he had shrugged it off. "What's it going to do?" he had joked, "Give me nightmares?" Now he saw the irony in this situation; fighting real zombies was not nearly as fun as it was in a videogame.

The situation only got worse when it appeared that the commissioner and the police had fallen victim to the zombie plague as well. When he saw Batgirl flipping over onto the roof, temporarily silhouetted in the moonlight, he felt relieved that at least they had one more survivor in this strange new world. When everyone was turning into Zombies, it was good to see a familiar face.

"Batgirl!" he exclaimed rushing towards her after knocking away the nearest zombie police officer, "I'll totally deny saying this but for once having you here doesn't totally…"

As Batgirl lifted her head from the shadows chills went down robin's spine when he realized that she too had the deformed, rotting face of a zombie.

"…stink."

Batgirl's POV

The way robin looked at her when she stood up did not bode well. His face reflected abject terror. She began to walk towards him.

"Robin, what's going on here? Why are you attacking the police? Are you crazy?!" She yelled.

As she continued to walk towards him, he did not respond, but only looked at her with wide, fearful eyes behind his small black mask. She hated being ignored and with all the ignoring she had gotten today, she was really losing her patience.

"Robin! Work with me here! What is all of this?!" Out of the corner of her eye she saw the Batman deliver a crushing kick to the head of a low ranking police officer.

Batgirl watched as Robin suddenly darted forward with a powerful right punch that she just barely managed to deflect.

Now she knew without any doubt that something was wrong. Treating her like an unwanted assistant and ignoring her were things that happened on a daily basis. But this was obviously something more.

As Robin prepared another attack, Batgirl decided she had had enough of this. With a small laugh, she said,

"Alright Bird Boy, don't say I didn't warn you." Launching into a powerful jump, she tried to subdue Robin without actually hurting him. Unfortunately, Robin fought against her as if his life depended on it, which he thought it did.

As they fought on the moonlight roof, Batman continued to pummel the inadequate police officers. As Gordon backed away, he continued to try and reason the Batman into stopping his relentless attack. But Batman would not even respond. He only continued to move towards Gordon and take out any underlings who got in the way.

As Batgirl tried to subdue Robin, she grabbed her handcuffs out of the special pouch they resided in and said. Ok, Robin, I don't know what's going on but believe me, this is for your own good. When Robin attacked, she tried to get his forearm into the lock, but he twisted and swiveled behind her, and locked her own hands together.

"Oh now you're gonna get it!"

When Batman finally reached the commissioner, he pulled out a batarang, as if he meant to cut him, but instead only jumped over his head, slicing off some of his hair. As soon as he did this, he jumped off the roof and swung away, closely followed by Robin.

As Robin jumped ran towards the edge of the roof, he was followed closely by Batgirl. When he jumped off the roof and fired his grapple, batgirl leaped off and got just close enough to grab him, except that she couldn't because her hands were still trapped behind her.

As the grapple pulled him out of her reach, she tried to get her grapple out, but was also prevented from doing that. As she reached the arc of her jump, she looked down at the ground far below her and at Robin swinging away in the night.

"Crap."

She hit the fire escape on the neighboring building first, her suit absorbed some of the impact, but it was still enough to possibly break her shoulder. Then she hit the awning of the store on the ground floor, rolled off and finally crashed on top of a street vendor's parked vending cart in the alley next to police headquarters.

And then, because there was nothing else to do, she passed out.

Well, there we go. Sorry for the long wait, but I will be updating stories regularly now. Stay tuned and remember: If you dont give me feedback, I will be upset. (and by upset, I mean that I will send ninjas to kill you.)
