Batgirl found Cheshire intriguing. Her black hair stuck up around her head like a lions mane and Batgirl thought it was rather impressive, and wondered what the girls reaction would be when she cut it off with a batarang.
"I'm Batgirl" She introduced, deeming it the right thing to do since Cheshire had in fact introduced herself, Batgirl had manners even when it came to the bad guys.
"Batgirl? I thought the bat family only lived in Gotham" Cheshire noted and Batgirl shrugged her shoulders.
"Were branching out"
The two girls circled each other for a moment before they simultaneously leapt at each other, blocking their consecutive jabs and bouncing back. The eyed each other for a moment before diving in again.
Batgirl went low and managed to duck under a jab to the face and returned it with a reverse punch to the stomach, only for Cheshire to swivel out of the way with a movement that Batgirl was positive she had used previously.
Our fighting styles are practically identical…time to spice things up a bit.
Batgirl took one of Cheshire's punches to the gut and doubled over, before ramming her shoulders forwards and wrapped her arms around Cheshire's body and grinding her shoulder into her stomach.
Cheshire grunted at the sudden forced and dug her heels into the ground in an attempt to stop the motion, when that failed she simply used Batgirls own force to spin her around. Batgirl smirked and as Cheshire spun her she used to the movement as she landed to then spin her, throwing her into a wall side on.
Cheshire grunted in pain and when she turned back to Batgirl her left arm, which had hit the wall, was hanging limply by her side.
Dislocated shoulder. Ha, if smarts doesn't work then I can use brute strength…as long as your not bigger than me…
"Your disturbing my schedule" Cheshire snarled angrily and Batgirl smirked.
"Yeah, I do that" She replied getting ready for another attack but instead an arrow whistled past her head and lodged into the dangling green fabric on Cheshire's left arm and trapped her against the wall.
Batgirl turned as Red Arrow landed a few feet from her.
"Oh, hello pretty boy" Cheshire greeted and Batgirl raised an eyebrow and looked at him, he glared at Cheshire, but Batgirl could see the slight blush.
"Why are you here?" She asked him slightly miffed that Cheshire had obviously called dibs on the ginger archer.
Hey wait…she's a villain, she can't call dibs on a hero…Ha!
"I thought you could use some help" Red Arrow explained and she glared at him.
"I never need help" She grumbled but he notched an arrow none the less and aimed it expertly at the assassin.
"See you two around" Cheshire sang and blew Red Arrow a kiss before throwing a pellet to the ground, Batgirl leapt into the smoke to try and grab Cheshire, but somehow she received a blow to the back of the head.
She yelped at the shock and tumbled into a wall jarring her wrist into an awkward position that made her hiss in more pain, she pushed away from the wall as the smoke cleared and glared at the empty space as she cradled her damaged wrist in her right hand.
"Are you alright?" Red Arrow questioned taking two long strides forwards and taking her left wrist to inspect the damage.
"My wrist is fine, I'm more worried about my head" She grumbled and he tilted her head down to get a better look, but then grunted in dissatisfaction.
"I can't tell, your mask is torn and I think there's a bit of blood but that's all I can see" He told her and she raised her head up and shrugged her shoulders.
"I'll check it out later, come on, we've got an art gallery to protect"
Standing on the rooftop Roy noticed a sudden awkwardness between the two teenage heroes, an awkwardness that hadn't been there before. Though he was pretty sure it wasn't his fault, he felt the need to apologise for Cheshire's flirtatious manner.
"Uh…why do you suppose Cheshire was hanging around?" He asked, noting how that was not an apology but somehow still involved the masked assassin.
"I have several theories, many involve the art gallery" She informed him in what he supposed she thought was a casual manner but it seemed forced. He didn't like that, he never normally cared about whether or not someone else felt uncomfortable around him but this time he did, and that bugged him a little.
"Any other theories that don't involve the art gallery?" He asked and she paused, the wind throwing her cape to the left and her utility belt reflecting the moonlight. Roy took note on how, although her outfit revealed little to no skin, it still managed to show him every single curve and muscle.
"Well…one involves a certain ginger archer and a blown kiss" She muttered under her breath but he heard her, and tried to hide his embarrassment with anger.
"Now your just being ridiculous. She winds up everyone, including me, with that little act of hers" He grunted and she shrugged her shoulders but Roy noticed she slumped a little afterwards.
"Doesn't bother me, you can date or flirt with whoever the hell you want" She told him and he frowned, doesn't bother her? Rubbish.
"We should go out" Roy blurted out suddenly and Batgirl turned to face him with huge eyes, but he could have sworn her lips were twitching upwards.
"What?" She asked and he could here the mirth in her voice.
"I mean, when Batman and Arrow are busy, we should meet up and go out in Star city, or in Gotham and…uh…" He tried to explain and a grin broke out on her face.
"I'd love to" She told him and he nodded and tried to maintain the little dignity he had left after that.
"Quick question" Batgirl suddenly said and he nodded for her to continue.
"When does the art show end?"
Bruce had a feeling, he wasn't entirely sure what that feeling was at that present moment in time but it was there. That sudden foreboding feeling you get just before something bad is about to happen. Well, it was feeling that Bruce had…developed over the years and it was usually accurate.
"How do you think the kids are?" Ollie asked in a grunt and Bruce frowned, he sounded a bit…angered? By the situation the younger heroes were currently in, despite the fact that it had been his idea.
"Probably getting on each others nerves" He smirked as they looked at an abstract painting that, in Bruce's eyes, looked like it had been painted by a three year old on steroids.
"Roy can handle your brat"
Bruce faltered and turned to glare at the man but Ollie seemed rather proud of his dig.
"Excuse me?" Bruce demanded and Ollie glanced over at him and shrugged his shoulders.
"No offence to you, but the kids just pulling you down. God knows what her criminal records like" Ollie informed him taking a calm sip from his drink. Bruce was not having any of it.
"She doesn't have a criminal record, and she is not pulling me down. She is as good as I am, if not better" Bruce informed the blonde and that sudden feeling of foreboding drew his mind back to the fight with Morgan Le Fay.
"How would you know? You don't even know who she really is, I know Roy, I know you and Robin, but no one knows her now do they? For all we know she could be a spy from Cadmus or from some villainous organisation" Ollie continued smirking at a photographer who took a quick photograph of them both and scurried off with a grin plastered on her face.
"She is not a spy, she's a good kid. Ollie what's gotten into you? Your never like this, especially to a person you've only met once and for a period of five minutes. It's uncalled for" Bruce scorned him with a frown as Batgirl's words popped into his head.
"She told me she was going to give everyone hatred for some reason, told me to enjoy my curse as long as it lasted blah-di-blah crap like that"
Hatred…Ollie hated her.
Oh. Shit.
"Ollie, I'm heading off now. I need to go over a few things back home, I'll speak to you soon" Bruce decided with a nod before turning and leaving the art gallery. If he was right (which he usually was) then the curse was taking affect, and he had to warn Batgirl before it hit him as well.
"Keep an eye on her Bruce!" Ollie called before Bruce vanished into the comfort of his limo.
OOOOHHH! Batman has figured it out! Haha! But, cause I'm an evil bitch I'm gonna make it COMPLICATED! HAHAHA!
Soooo…not to brag or anything but today I had a karate grading…AND I PASSED! WOOOO! I'm now officially a blue belt in karate! Three more till black belt! There's no need to comment on that but I felt the need to explain my good mood to you all (I failed my last grading so this was a very nice surprise) though I have to admit I was expecting my instructor to go 'You all passed! April fools, you failed!' and he didn't which was nice of him.
Enough of my babbling, onto my reviewers.
Bat fan1987, ah new reviewer! I am very pleased to meet you and I am glad you are enjoying the stories, I don't watch much beyond but I will have a look at your stories when I get time.
Highlander, Batgirl? Guess his identity? Pah, Batgirl never guesses! She just knows. Glad you like the pairing, I adore them together. Cheshire is gonna be a tricky one because she and Batgirl have similar fighting styles and similar ways of thinking but no one is a match for Batgirl!
Kindleflame, aha, Roy is certainly impressed, but I doubt it was her fighting skills he was watching if you catch my drift.
Ravenmore45, another new face! Aloha! And of course Batgirl is a better fighter than Batman! I wanted a new look on the story and I decided to add some flair in. And as Batgirl is my favourite female hero of all time I wanted to make her a better fighter than Batman (In most aspects anyway)
WinterRain, I have a scene planned for that, there's a bit in young justice SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BEYONG EPISODE 22 where Cheshire kisses Roy, I was so mad, and I imagine Batgirl will be to when she finds out, which she will of course.
Knightmare, Do you want to know what I think of Americans or what the British in general thinks? Cause personally I think your absolutely AWESOME. You invented superheroes! What's not to love? Always wanted to go to America, so hopefully in the future when I'm a famous author/actress I'll get to go over there.
Read and Review guys!
Tulip Out.
