Numb. That was how Batgirl felt. The truth was too much for her teenage mind to bear or understand, all she knew was that her mother was gone.
She lay there, awake but not caring and not even wondering where she it or who it was that had whispered those comforting words to her when she had needed them. She wanted the voice to come back and comfort her further but she figured the voice was her imagination, yearning for comfort and making some without caring about the consequences.
"When do you think she'll wake up?" Batgirl easily recognised the voice as Robin and promptly ignored him, the last thing she needed was the blunder chicken making her already dead thoughts suicidal.
"Soon, she was lucky we got there when we…Dick what are you doing?" Batman was speaking now and Batgirl heard footsteps shuffling towards her.
"I'm going to unmask her, she wont know"
Go ahead and try you little shit, see where it get's you.
Batgirl vaguely heard Batman protesting and coming over to stop the blunder chicken but his fingers were already hooked under her mask, and Batgirl waited for what she knew was coming next.
"Incorrect Biometrics, emergency precautions activated"
"What the?"
Robin never got to ask what the voice meant as he was electrocuted by the tiny biometric data pads that covered the inside of Batgirls mask, it didn't cover the outside as it was attached to her outfit in such a way that it didn't come off unless pulled off from underneath.
Batgirl sat up and watched Robin twitch as the currents finished their flow through him, but she didn't smile or laugh or even taunt him. She was too numb to care.
Batman didn't speak, he just stood and watched her with curiosity and concern.
He's worried about Robin, not me. He'll never give a damn about me…
"Batgirl"
She looked up at him with emotionless eyes and a blank face, not that she could see that but she didn't care about that now. She didn't care about anything at the moment.
Batman didn't get a reply and he was worried, he wasn't worried about Robin because he knew that Batgirl wouldn't ever seriously harm his ward, it was obviously just a warning to him.
"Batgirl, who was the woman?" Batman asked her and she shrugged her shoulders slowly, and Batman continued to stare at her.
Trauma perhaps? But why is it hitting her so hard?
She got up and walked out towards her Batbike, she wanted to go home, curl up and cry on her own where no-one else could see her.
"Batgirl, where are you going?" Batman asked her walking swiftly towards her and standing in the way of her bike so she couldn't get to it.
"Home" Was her simple reply, but he didn't move.
For once Batman just leave me alone, please.
"Good, and don't come back you stupid idiot"
Batgirl didn't respond to Robin's feeble and rather pathetic insult and she didn't laugh when he walked into view with his hair sticking up at all angles.
"Robin, be quiet" Batman ordered not turning to face him and Robin glared at Batman then at Batgirl before storming forwards towards her.
"Robin. Stop" Batman ordered and Robin did stop, right in front of Batgirl.
She didn't acknowledge him, she just stared right past him and past Batman.
"This is pathetic, you get upset over a civilian dying? My parents died, so did Bruce's, get over yourself" Robin growled at her, reaching forwards to give her a shove with one of his hands, but with a growl Batgirl grabbed his wrist before he reached her and twisted it whilst squeezing it painfully.
"Shut you face you little shit. Otherwise I'll break it" She snarled into his ear before shoving him back, he stumbled over his own feet and landed on his butt before getting up and with an angry yell, launching himself at Batgirl.
"Robin! Don't!" Batman warned but he was too late.
Batgirl grabbed both of Robin's arms and smashed her forehead into his nose before twisting her body and throwing him over her hip and onto his back. His head hit the ground with a sickening crack but Batgirl didn't care, she glared at his limp body, daring him to get back up.
"Batgirl stop!" Batman yelled at her angrily and rushed down to Robin's side and cradled his head tenderly.
"She was right. HA! Harlequin was right!" Batgirl giggled manically and Batman stared up at her in shock…and fear? Could Batgirl see fear in his eyes?
"Batgirl?"
"I am like him. The Joker. I thought I wasn't, tried to deny it. But what's the point! She was right and now it's my turn" She turned to Batman and grinned at him showing all her marvellous white teeth.
"And I'm going to start with you"
She turned and walked casually to her bike and shot away from the Batcave, leaving Batman with his injured sidekick.
Hehe…that was fun…I wish I had a camera. His face was amazing! And when Robin hit the floor, that sound was brilliant!
Grinning sadistically as she hopped off of her bike Batgirl trailed into the large warehouse. She knew he would be there, if she hadn't been in the state she was in she would never have guess, but she was in that state and she had guessed.
"Joker…Harlequin…wanna play?"
Ack! I need to stop writing short chapters!
Next one will be longer (and have more blunder chicken bruising) Yes I am enjoying torturing Batgirl, I am also enjoying the fact that you guys can't seem to look away.
Knightmare, Yes she will be coming down on all those you listed, but first she's going to piss Batman off beyond belief.
Highlander, calm down! Yes Robin better start running, and I can't blame you for not being able to stop reading! I get scared of my evilness sometimes.
Murdershewrote, I don't know if she is mary-sue but I will make sure not to make her one.
WinterRain, I have to admit I laughed when you called Batman a self righteous bastard, and still laugh when I read it. No way no how is Batsy or birdy going to know who she is anytime soon, and neither is her father. Never, no way no how.
One final thing, I am thinking of writing a sequel with Batman (eventually) finding out Batgirl's identity, but it involves some of the minor justice league characters. If you guys don't like the idea of the JLU characters being involved then that's cool I can work out some other equally humorous way of Batman finding out…somehow.
Read and Review guys!
Tulip Out.
