"How can you let some teenager take the suit!" Yells Damian loudly as he paces around the cave.
"Don't go blaming this out on me!" Scolds Bruce.
"Then who the hell am I suppose to blame?!" Damian snaps.
"Dad stop! Blaming grandpa isn't going to bring the suit back! And god knows where Terry is, he could get himself killed and maybe even expose our family secrete! So just quit the shit, both of you, and focus!" Shouts Blair, glaring at the two men.
"She's right... I have a tracking device on the suit, I can even shut it down from here. But even if I did shut the suit down, the possibility of him getting killed is high." Mutters Bruce.
"Great...! So now what?!" Asks Damian as crosses his arms.
"I can go... I can go get Terry. If he resist, then shut down the suit." Says Blair.
"No way in hell!" Yells Damian.
"Dad, we don't have a choice!" Snaps Blair.
"I rather just go myself."
"You know you can't go!" Scolds Blair. Damian bites his lower lip and looks away.
"I'm qualified for the job anyways... You trained me after all. And grandpa... And grandma. And practically the whole bat family."
Damian sighs heavily. "Your just like your mother...!" Mutters Damian as he looks at his daughter lovingly.
"Don't go having fantasies now."
"Shut up and suit up"
Blair smirks.
Blair stud before the glass cases that contain all the bat family's suit. She wore the last batgirl suit that her grandfather made. Originally, it belonged to Stephanie Brown, but after giving birth to her first child, she gave up the vigilantly life.
The suit's size adjusted to her body type with a push of a button. It was padded and armored in all the right places. What Blair liked most about the suit was it had a cape. Her grandfather decided to keep this suit traditional even with all it's futuristic features and designs. The belt was yellow and built into the suit, some yellow LED lights glowed through out the suit in detailed lines, making it look like it came of the set of the "Tron Legacy" movie. And of course to finish off her suit, her cowl. It wasn't the traditional cowl, it only reached to jaw line and the back of her head. Her platinum hair was tied in a bun. And finally... Her mask, or rather, her helmet. Her helmet looked like a motorcycle helmet, but the glass went all the way to the top of her skull. The glass was like a one way mirror, tinted with a yellow color. The edging and small bat ears were black, along with the rest of the suit. Blair looks at herself in the mirror before putting on her helmet. Her father walks in.
"Ready?" Asked Damian.
"Knock dad, what if I wasn't decent!?" Teases Blair, Damian rolls his eyes.
"I cleaned your ass, there's nothing you have that I haven't seen."
Blair giggles and looks at herself in the mirror again. Damian goes to his daughter and hugs her from behind, staring at her reflection through the mirror. "Your mother would kick my ass if she saw you now." He chuckles. Blair smiles.
"It's not like I'm gonna do this forever. Right?" She asks, turning to Damian. He nods.
"Right. Be safe Blair... This isn't training, this isn't a simulation... It's real. Don't hesitate, don't second guess yourself."
"I know daddy...!" She whispers. Damian puts his hand on her shoulder and looks into her crystal blue eyes.
"Come back to me... If I have to go out and fight... There will be hell to pay..!" Damian mutter.
"Yes daddy..!" Whispers Blair as Damian grabs her cheeks and kisses her forehead gently.
"Go." Was all he said before Blair dashes off and puts on her helmet. She walks out and head to the hover bike that was parked beside the hover bat. "Your communicator is on, I'm calibrating your helmet." Said Bruce over his shoulder as he types away on the computer.
"Right!" She shouts. She turns on the hover bike and adjusts her helmet as it flickers on.
"I'm giving you M'ginnis' location. Be careful. Powers will most likely be there." Said Bruce through the communicator.
"Got it." Said Blair with a nod she turns on the hover bike.
"From now on, we'll be using code names. Yours is batgirl."
Blair smirks. "Then I'll call you Oracle."
Bruce chuckles.
With a deep breath, Blair took the steering handles to the hover bike and lifts it up in the air. She hit the gas and before she knew it, she flew out of the cave and towards the city.
"Damn it Blair. Be safe...!" Mutters Damian as he stud on the platform where the hover bike was.
Blair raced through the air. She could feel her nerves bubbling up in her stomach, she tried to compose herself, now was not the time to be nervous, she had mission. And peoples lives were on the line.
She closed in on Terry's location, and on Powers incorporated. Figures that M'ginnis would be there.
"There's a security breech at Power incorporated. Terry must have been spotted." Said Bruce through the communicator.
"Did you manage to contact him?!" Asked Blair.
"Yes, but he's being stubborn. I was tempted to shut the suit down, but he ran into security."
"Don't, let me find him first."
"I'm sending you a diagram of the building and Terry's location. Make a quick get away."
"If Terry lets me that is."
"The kid is holding up real good, the suit in amplifying his strength."
"I'm almost there."
"You can't call Terry by his name when you see him."
"I know... Batman it is."
"This is bullshit...!" Blair heard her father in the background through the communicator.
"Settle down Damian!" Scolds Bruce as Blair resisted a chuckle.
Terry battles between waves and waves of body guards. The suit was working top notch to Terry's satisfaction. He could take on many guards at the same time.
"He's over there!" Shouted some guards down the hall from where Terry stud.
"Get the bat!" Yells another guard.
This time, Terry knew he had to escape, he couldn't handle anymore back up, the suit might have made him stronger, but he was still human and had limitations. He clicked on his heels and ignited his rocket-boots, he extended his arms and took out the artificial bat-wings that helped him fly and glide. With a high jump, he bullet through some guards and a glass window, sending him out side and into the city's atmosphere.
"Shit, I have to hurry to the docks...!" Said Terry to himself. He shifted his body and managed to fly straight and headed towards the docks to find Powers.
"Get your ass over here Batman!" Shouted a far too familiar voice to Terry, a voice he wish he hadn't heard. While flying, he turned his head and saw none other than batgirl on a hover-bike.
"Blair?!" He asks.
"It's batgirl out here. What the hell is wrong with you?! Stealing the suit?! My dad and grandpa are gonna kick your ass!" Blair scolded.
"I had to do something! And I'm glad I did! Powers is at the docks, shipping the toxin. And is using Wayne's name while doing it."
Blair remained quiet and stared at Terry.
"Did you hear that Oracle..?!" Blair mutters into her communicator.
"I did... And I'll be damned before I let that happen." Snarls Bruce.
"I guess we're heading to the docks... But after that, you put the bat suit back where it was!"
"I don't know... I kind of like having you call me batman...!" Smirks Terry.
"I can call you dipshit... Cause you fucking are one!" Snaps Blair.
"Stop bickering and get to the docks!" Yells Damian through both the teenager's communicator.
In a matter of seconds, the teenagers get to the docks, the toxin was already being loaded. Terry and Blair exchanged looks.
"What's the plan?" Asks Terry.
"Oracle, I'm sending visual." Says Blair as she turns on the webcam that is planted in the helmet.
"Oracle?" Asks Terry.
"That's grandpa's code name. I can't be calling him Bruce or gramps all the time now can I?"
"Why Oracle thou?"
Blair smirks. "It's a bat-family thing."
"Whatever." Terry rolls his eyes at her.
"Disable the crane. Someone is gonna have to stop that plane from reaching its destination." Said Bruce to the two bat-teens through the communicator.
"I'm guessing that will be my job...!" Mutters Blair.
"Why you?!" Terry complains.
"Cause out of the both of us, I'm actually qualified to wear the suit." Snaps Blair.
"You don't have to be a bitch about it...!" Terry mutters, receiving a slap to the back of the head. "Ow!" He yelps.
"I suggest you get to work." Says Bruce, slight annoyance in his voice. With a nod, Blair sneaks her way near the plane. "Terry, create a distraction and take out the crane." Orders Bruce.
"On it." He shouts as he leaps out and runs to the crane, grabbing some guards attention.
"It's batman!" One of them shouts as the rest run to stop him.
Blair laid under the plane, placing explosives and setting them to detonate.
"Good job, now help Terry, he's having trouble." Said Bruce through the communicator.
"Of course he is..!" Mutters Blair as she leaps up and heads towards Terry.
Before Blair couldn't even get close, Terry was able to tilt the crane, sending a shipment of toxin to spill over the docks.
"Oh my god, dis niggah!" Blair complains as she throws her arms up in the air.
"Well... He took out the crane." Said Bruce.
"Literally." Said Damian in the background.
"Where the hell is he?" Asks Blair.
"I'm not getting visual. Search the area while I call the police." Orders Bruce. Blair headed closer, her eyes and helmet scanning for Terry.
"I don't have him on visual. Is it possible he..."
"Blair! He's on the plane!" Bruce interrupts.
"What?!" She shouts as she turns to look at said plane. Effectively... Terry was boarding the plane, chasing after someone. "Damnit! Idiot is gonna get himself killed!" Groans Blair as she used the control panel on the fore-arm of her suit to auto pilot her hover bike to her location.
"How long did you set the chargers?!" Asks Bruce.
"About 5 minutes?" Said Blair, questioning herself.
Out on the distance, one explosives went off, making the plane lower in altitude.
"Or... Less." She said awkwardly.
"Hurry and get M'ginnis!" Orders Bruce.
"On it, on it!" Blair shouts. Her hover bike arrives and settles near her. In a flash, she was on the bike and flying towards the plane. Another explosive goes off and the plane heads straight down. "I won't make it in time!" Shouts Blair in panic.
"Damn..!" Said Bruce.
Blair went faster trying to get closer, in a blink of an eye, Terry few out of the plane, how?! Blair didn't know, but he was flying towards her, and getting close.
And closer.
And closer.
Both teenagers impact, sending the hover bike upwards, almost making them fall. Thanks to Blair's piloting, they didn't.
"OW!" Groans Blair.
"Sorry, it's hard to pilot this suit when your almost practically twirling towards your death." Mutters Terry.
"You fucking moron! Why did you go into the plane?! I rigged it to explode!" Blair scolds as Terry adjust himself on and sits behind Blair.
"I know it was, but I was trying to stop someone from getting in... I was too late though...!" Terry sighs.
"Better him than you... Though I'm sure he would have appreciated the gesture..." Said Blair over her shoulder. Terry smiles.
"I guess you can't save them all." Mutters Terry. Though he felt bad that he couldn't save the man, he was secretly glad he was dead, the man had been his father's murder. And though he didn't want his demise to be in such away, he got what he deserve. Terry would have rather have him locked up, but apparently destiny had other things in mind.
"Especially your ass when we get back to the cave." Blair smirks. Terry's eyes widen slightly.
"Oh shit..!" He mutter.
"Indeed..!" Said Bruce through the communicator.
"You ignorant little piece of shit! You have any idea what could have happened if my daughter didn't come and save your ass?! You can't just go out and steal the fucking bat-suit and start fighting like you've been doing it for years! If you were my son I would have kicked your teeth in and shoved my foot up your ass hole!"
"Dad, chill...!" Mutters Blair, still in her suit, minus her helmet. She hops in the bat-computer's desk, taking a mug of tea her grandfather made and takes a sip.
"I could have you arrested!" Damian snarls.
"And say what?! That I'm batman and that my suit has been stolen?" Said Bruce sarcastically. Damian glares at his father.
"He has a point dad...! Besides, Terry might be an amateur, but he handled himself better than expected." Said Blair, she takes another sip.
"Handled himself?!" Damian hisses.
"Well he was able to find out about the transport, and..." Blair pause, everyone in the cave stared at her. "He didn't get killed?" She mutters, slightly questioning herself. Damian let's out a low groan as he crosses his arms.
"She's right Damian. Perhaps its time I passed the torch and have someone actually protect this city." Said Bruce as he slowly stands from the computer chair.
"Babs is doing a fine job at that."
"You know damn well that's a load of crap Damian." Scolds Bruce. "Your associate had an illegal trade right under your nose and no one saw it coming except for this kid." He added as he pointed his cane at Terry.
"Thank you?" Said Terry questioningly.
"You can't honestly have this punk wear the cowl!" Damian snarls.
"I'd rather have you! But we all know that can't happen!" Bruce scolds. The room went silent.
"I don't..!" Said Terry.
"Shut it!" All three Wayne said in union.
"C'mon dad... You gotta admit, Terry might be rusty, but he has potential."
"And who better to train him than us?" Said Bruce.
"Fine...! But I won't like it!" Shouts Damian.
"You don't have to." Smirks Blair.
"What do you say Mr. M'ginnis..?! Are you willing to work with us?" Said Bruce, making eye contact with Terry. Terry smirks.
"I'm your man." Said the teenage boy.
"Good... Welcome to our world." Bruce smirks as he and Terry Shake hands.
"I hope you understand the term of your job." Said Damian.
"Umm, to be Batman?" Asked Terry.
"You'll be more than that. You'll be my assistant and Blair's part time body guard." Says Bruce.
"What?!" Shouts both teenagers.
"Gramps, I don't need a body guard, like, no offense, but I could kick Terry's ass in two seconds flat." Said Blair.
"Hey!" Terry complains.
"After today, you two will be spending a lot of time together." Says Bruce.
"And so you don't look suspicious, it's best to have this as a cover." Damian finishes.
"True..!" Mutters Terry.
"You mah bitch now." Blair teases. Terry chuckles and rolls his eyes at her.
"Then it's settled. You start tomorrow M'ginnis." Smirks Bruce.
