"When Batgirl was younger, she struggled to fit in with others. Because of her photographic memory she excelled above all those her age and had a good grasp of adulthood already. She saw what others did not" Catwoman explained, sitting on the edge of the building with her back facing the streets of Gotham.

"Photographic memory? I was not aware of that" Wonderwoman muttered and Catwoman nodded with a small smile.

"What is it she says? 'You see but you do not observe'. She says that to me all the time. Cheeky bugger" She muttered to herself with a satisfied smile that Batman could appreciate. She had this way of charming you into liking her, even with her sharp wit and even sharper tongue.

"So what caused her anger?" Superman asked her carefully, he wanted to hurry her so he could get back to Fate and fix this.

"I guess, it was the fact that she had the intelligence and wisdom of an adult, but was still treated like a child. That and her parents" Catwoman told them thoughtfully, they didn't reply so she continued.

"Don't get me wrong, her parents are lovely people and they adore her. But they were a little absent when she was growing up. Her father was always busy on some kind of…job" She informed them, not wanting to give away to much information about Barbara, she was not going to reveal her identity. Never.

"And her mother was always away to, she was a judge, so she was always working some case or another" Catwoman explained briefly and Batman nodded for her to continue.

"At first, she tried to gain their attention by excelling. But that didn't work. Her parents were too busy with work, they never intentionally ignored her, their work was important but so was she. She just couldn't understand why they ignored her, so she started lashing out" She continued rubbing her hands together to fight the cold of the night.

"Lashing out?" Wonderwoman questioned and Catwoman nodded.

"Her grades started dropping, she got into fights, got arrested a few times as well. She just wanted them to see her. Just to look. Instead, they sent her away, to live with a relative of hers. Said the change in scenery would be good for her" She continued and Batman nodded, very interested in the past of his partner, and his friend.

"All it did was make her think that they didn't love her, then she came home and still got into trouble. Lots of it…but then she met you" Catwoman looked over at Batman with a small smile on her face.

"I don't know exactly what you did…but she became Batgirl and suddenly everything was looking up. Even through the bad times she always had you" Catwoman finished with a sigh. She hated the fact that she couldn't do anything more for Barbara than tell people some of her secrets.

"Were going to fix this. I promise you, we will fix it" Batman sounded as though he swearing upon his very life, Catwoman looked at him for a moment before replying.

"I know"

Barbara finished pulling on her outfit and tugged on her mask, noting the whole in the top of it from where Cheshire had hit her.

"Cheap shot" She muttered to herself, slipping on her utility belt and her gauntlets carefully.

I've got to run…but where? Anywhere, anywhere is better than here. Selina will just turn on me like everyone else.

She wondered into the kitchen and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, and scrawled on it neatly like Selina had shown her all those years ago.

She walked over to the window and unlatched it before stepping out onto the balcony, not even glancing back as she shot out her grappler and swung away from Selina's apartment without looking back. She couldn't afford to look back anymore, she had to keep going forwards until she was safe. No, she could never be safe again, not with that horrible voice echoing constantly in her mind.

You are hated.

Batgirl kept going, she had to. What else could she do? She landed with a thud on the bank of Gotham and looked over the city with a sigh before she got up and swung over to Wayne Industries.

She landed with a light thud and looked up, and then noticed the catastrophic mistake she had just made.

Standing in the silvery moons light no more than three paces ahead of her was Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman and Catwoman. Batgirl didn't even give them time to comprehend what was going on, she just turned and jumped off the building and shot down to the streets below.

Superman could feel it, bubbling and boiling inside him. Hatred, pure agonising hatred that he had never felt in his entire life and it was directed at her. He hated her so much he didn't even want to think about her name.

He ignored Bruce's and Catwoman's cries as he flew after her, with Wonderwoman directly by his side. She was snarling at Batgirl as her grappler shot out of her gauntlet and she swooped away, but there wasn't a being in the entire universe that could outrun Superman.

It confused him though, the anger. It confused him because there was something else lurking in the hatred, something that felt a lot like sadness, loneliness. He ignored it, he needed to kill her. She had to die in order to get rid of the hatred, and he would kill her.

And it would be slow, and agonisingly painful.

Dun dun duuuuuuuuun! This cannot be good!

Sooo hey guys! The chapters are working again! Yay! So Batgirl is being chased by Superman and Wonderwoman! Oh deary deary me. Poor Batgirl just keeps getting hurt doesn't she? I wonder how she'll do against these two behemoths…

Knightmare, Of course Catwoman wont share her goddaughters identity I have a really sad bit for when that happens, it made me cry when I thought it up so I hope it makes you guys cry as well.

Lionfire, Well, in my universe her life has been seriously screwed with, but still Bruce finds a way of being more depressed, and Raven's was a cool kind of depressed (Not that depression is cool but in the characters portrayal it was)

Ravenmore, That prank…sounds…AWESOME. Batgirl would love doing that! Also, the date will probably be an extra after all this has settled down (I can't see her going on a date with this curse in affect though Roy will star in this fic, if only a little bit)

WinterRain, I like Catwoman's attitude also, though I was worried about making her a bit OOC (Even though the real Catwoman wasn't Batgirl's godmother) (I say REAL, Catwoman isn't real but…oh you know what I mean)

Kindleflame, She'll fight back! Batgirl always fights back! And she'll be back with a vengeance!

Highlander, I am planning on introducing the young justice at some point (I love spitfire, the best pairing ever!) And maybe Supergirl, I figure Batgirl and Supergirl would have a relationship similar to the one Batman and Superman have (You know, Batman always has to one-up Supes? Yeah, like that)

Read and Review guys!Tulip Out.
