A reporter: "Sources have confirmed to have been a NEW vigilante in action this last few days, it is confirmed that SHE is no Bat… Commissioner James Gordon has said earlier today and I quote: 'this new vigilante thing will be taken care of, it's either working with the GCPD or Batman for her'… And as for the dark knight and his allies, well they are just playing Batty and ignoring the press…"

The TV was then shot off by Bruce in the Bat cave.

Nightwing: "Looks like she won't be giving up the hero gig, what will we do?"

Robin: "I say we find out who she is, then force her to quit".

Batgirl: "You can't just convince her to quit or to scare her out of the gig, playing… Batty doesn't always work".

Nightwing: "Trust me, she'll just come back to being a pain in the…"

Batgirl: "Is that supposed to be redirected into me?"

Nightwing: "… I aaahh… didn't mean it like that".

Robin: "Oooh, you're in trouble".

Nightwing: "Shut up, Tim".

Batman: "If you three are done being so childish, come and see this".

The three looked at the Bat computer.

Batman: "Do you remember Gotham Academy's last Halloween party?"

Batgirl: "You mean the one where Dick left me waiting for him for an hour? Yeah, I totally remember".

Nightwing: "I had a meeting with Bats, Aqualad, Red Arrow and Red Tornado".

Batman: "Well, I hacked into the school's computer data, and hacked the cameras…"

Batgirl: "You did what? Why?"

Batman: "To make sure no inappropriate behavior was happening".

Nightwing: "There WERE teachers there".

Batman: "It was a party; anything could happen at a party… anyway, if you look close to this footage I got, all of the students clothes were from this store JLAS, and…"

Batgirl: "JLAS? What's that?"

Batman: "Justice League of America Style, they have a store in every city, and is you look close to the new vigilante's costume you can see it has a special fabric that only this company uses".

Robin: "Where is this leading?"

Batman: "I checked the data at the store and the only people in Gotham who bought something from there were from Gotham Academy a long time ago, either students or the Volunteers at your school".

Nightwing: "Why does every crime has to be related to GA?"

Batgirl: "Don't you think it's ironic that the finest school in Gotham is the most crime-fighting related?"

Batman: "Anyway, the computer data didn't sign the name, but that reduces the possibilities to 324 possible combinations, you two will look it out at the school and figure out who is she under the mask, understood?"

Batgirl and Nightwing nodded while Robin pouted.

Robin: "No fair, they always get the fun stuff".

Batman: "I need you for something tonight, bank robberies".

Robin (Mumbling): "Rookie work".

Nightwing: "Aaahh, don't worry you'll have the chance to get the big work".


Babs: "Okay, so it's not one of the freshmen or the sophomores".

Dick: "Let's try juniors, Alphabetical…"

Babs elbowed him.

Babs: "Bette is coming".

Bette then came and sat next to them.

Bette: "Hey guys, what's up?"

Dick: "Nothing much".

Bette: "Dick, is it true that you moved?"

Dick: "Yeah, to Blüdhaven".

Bette: "Cool, Barb, are you free today after school?"

Babs: "Don't have any plans, why?"

Bette: "What do you say we go pick a gift for Artemis and go visit her? The three of us"

Babs: "Sure".

Dick: "It'll be fun".

Then the bell rang.

Barb: "Let's go Dick, Miss Dinah and Miss Helena will kill us if we're late… again".


At the end of the day…

Babs: "Not her, she is too short".

Dick: "Her?"

Babs: "Too tall".

Dick: "it's hopeless".

Bette: "What's hopeless?"

She surprised them from behind.

Babs quickly said "The chance of… ending world hunger before at least 3078".

Bette: "Wow that long?"

Dick: "Well that's what we think at least".

Bette: "So Barb, let's go".

Babs: "Go where?"

Bette: "Buy Artemis a gift… We talked about this earlier; we are going to the mall to by a gift for her".

Babs: "Oooh, yeah right, let's go".

She kissed Dick on the check then got up and said "Keep working on the End World Hunger project".

Dick: "Alright, see ya later".


Babs walked in on the cave and went to sit next to Dick.

Dick (Teasing): "Hey how was the shopping?"

Babs: "Not funny Grayson, my feet hurt and my back is killing me, the last thing I need is someone pushing on my nervous nerves".

Tim then walked in the Bat cave.

Tim: "Any luck finding her?"

Dick: "Not yet, but the score went down to 126 possible combinations".

Babs: "it's kinda funny that she is the same school as us".

Tim: "Yeah, something went seriously wrong with your generation".

Babs: "And what do you do at night Mr. Normal?"

Tim: "That's deferent".

Dick: "How is that exactly?"

Tim: "Hey I don't have two, sorry, three people at my school playing dress up at night".

Babs: "Not necessarily, it could be one of the volunteers that come to the school, like Artemis and Bette".

Dick: "Do you think it could be Bette?"

Dick and Babs looked at each other for a second then said "Nah".

The Bat signal then went off.

Babs: "Let's get dressed".

They walked in the museum, only to see the new vigilante already handcuffing the three thieves.

She looked up and said "Well that was fun, but I gotta go".

Batgirl: "Not so fast".

She caught her by the wrist and dragged her out of the museum with the two boys following.

The girl grinned at her and said "What up Barb?"

Batgirl: "Bette?"

Bette's grin went farther and she said "It's actually Flamebird".

Batgirl: "What do you think you're doing?"

Flamebird: "Same as you".

Nightwing: "How did you know?"

Flamebird: "It was actually the hug you two had, you know about three weeks ago and the whole Barb is working with Batman kinda gave a hint".

Batgirl: "Well at least we can stop searching for her identity".

Flamebird: "Well, see ya tomorrow".

She said then immediately left.


Batman (Shouting): "She is who?"

Batgirl: "Bette just wants to be like us".

Batman: "Well she isn't".

Nightwing: "I say we let her, maybe we can show her a few moves, fight together, it'll be fun".

Batgirl: "I say yes, she is a great gymnastics".

Robin: "If this is how he acted when Barbara started then I'm glad I wasn't here back then".

Nightwing: "Come on Bruce".

Batgirl: "Well we can't stop her".

Nightwing: "Trust me, you seriously can't, she's as head strong as all of us"

Robin: "I say yes"

Batgirl: "Me too"

Batman: "NO".

Batgirl: "Bruce…"

Batman: "NO".

Batgirl: "Please?"

Batman: "NO".

Batgirl: "Please?"

Batman: "NO".


After half an hour…

Batgirl: "Please?"

Batman: "FINE".

Batgirl: "Yes, finally… Did you hear that Bette?"

She took the phone from her pocket and a sound came from the phone "Loud and clear, thanks Barb".

She ended the phone conversation, and looked at us and grinned.

Robin (Whispering to Nightwing): "Girls are so weird".

Nightwing (Whispering to Robin): "Don't have to tell me twice".

Batgirl: "What was that?"

Nightwing: "Nothing".

Robin: "Nothing at all".

Batgirl: "Good".
