A few months after he nearly destroyed the multiverse, Barry decided it was safe to visit another Earth. He wanted to get some advice from Bruce and Haisley about a special girl in his life, Iris.
When Barry arrived, he began making his way through Gotham until he neared the Observatory and heard Bruce's name. He rushed ahead to reach his target but stopped dead in his tracks once he was face-to-face with Bruce.
"You're not Bruce," Barry said, confusion evident in his voice as he took in the sight of an aging man with white hair and a matching beard, though his deep brown eyes still sparkled with youth.
Bruce glanced down as he shook his head, highlighting his crows' feet, "What are you talking about, Barry?"
Before Barry could respond, a younger woman, perhaps a few years older than Barry, approached, "Bruce, I hate when you leave me with those vultures always asking about the potential of an 'us," her eyes darted to Barry, causing her face to light up. "Barry! How have you been?" she greeted the distraught young man in a hug.
"Who are you?" Barry asked as he pulled himself from her grasp.
Reagan shook her head, "I'm Reagan Grayson aka Batgirl," she whispered the last part. "This is a weird day. You like this after that woman we just encountered," she shared, "Did you hit your head?" she asked.
"I have to wonder the same thing," Bruce added, "We've all worked together on multiple occasions. Why don't you ride with us back to Wayne Manor and we can figure this out?" he suggested.
Barry started to shake his head but then changed his mind, knowing it was possible that he'd traveled to the wrong Earth, "Ok, let's go."
The trio rode in silence until they reached the manor. Once they were inside, Bruce guided them down to the Batcave in hopes that it would clear up the confusion.
"So … you two really are Batman and Batgirl," Barry admitted once he saw everything laid out before him. "I think I know what happened," he began, not sure how ready they were to know the truth, "I'm not the Barry you know."
Bruce let out a soft chuckle, "What are you talking about? I'm really starting to worry about you, kid."
Barry sighed, "You're Earth is a part of the multiverse. I'm from an entirely different world and I was trying to visit a different Bruce and Haisley (his Batgirl). They were a huge help when I almost broke the entire thing a few months ago," he explained.
Reagan gasped, "You can't be serious. There's a different version of us out, many different versions? And how come Batgirl has a completely different name?"
Barry shrugged, "I'm not really sure. Some of the Earths don't even have a Batgirl. The Bruces always look different but I'm the same in every single version I've visited. I know this is a lot and I didn't mean to burden you two with this knowledge. I'll leave in the morning and try to land on the correct Bruce's Earth."
"No need to rush back home," Bruce replied, "It seems like there may be a lot we need to learn from you, unless you're in a hurry."
Reagan nodded, "I agree. Plus, we are after this new villain, Mr. Freeze. You would be a big help."
"Sure," Barry responded, "I can talk to the other Bruce in a few days. Are you two together like them?"
Barry's question caused Reagan to burst out laughing. Once she sobered herself, she said, "It looks like the press isn't the only one curious about us. We're not. It seems crazy to mix romance with what we do," she confessed as she began making her way back upstairs to change out of her nice clothes and into something more comfortable.
"I don't think it's as crazy as she does," Bruce replied before he followed Reagan.
A few hours later, the three were gathered around the dining room table after finishing their dinner.
"So, do you have a plan to take care of this Mr. Freeze?" Barry asked as he took a sip of his wine, wishing it had any effect on him.
Bruce nodded, "We're hosting an event tomorrow evening to auction off a prized diamond. Freeze needs diamonds to fuel his suit so we're baiting him to show his face there."
"That's a smart plan," Barry agreed, "I'll be there to help you two once he makes an appearance. You two will be going as Batman and Batgirl?"
Reagan replied, "We are and we can have a special guest if you want to be ready. Be warned, this event is extremely misogynistic. The diamonds will be around women's necks and auctioned for dates along with the gem."
Barry couldn't stop himself as he replied, "I bet you'd be upset if Batman made a bid."
Bruce interjected while wearing a knowing smirk, "I think that's enough for tonight. Let's get some sleep."
