Batgirl looked out at the city from her vantage point. It wasn't the highest point in the city, which was that clocktower, but it was high enough. She could see the clocktower where she stood, and she considered it. It really was a beautiful building, especially when the sun glitters over the clockface. Barbara considered using some of the Wayne money left for her to use and change the location of headquarters, since she still felt strange using the Batcave without Bruce being there. She also felt it was time to do things a little more in her own right BECAUSE Bruce wasn't there. She was her own superhero now, with her own protégé' and possibly crime fighting partner. Why not branch out a little bit? She worried about the face that the Clocktower would be further away from Gabby's house than Wayne Manor, and considered imprinting her DNA into the Batbike so that she can leave to and from on it, but Gabby isn't too keen on the Batbike's speed settings. Barbara figured she would figure something out. She also worried about Alfred. He was stuck like glue to Wayne Manor, and she doubted he would move to the clocktower, but maybe he would still come by every couple of days, if only to check in on 'the girls'. Batgirl smiled at that.

There was suddenly a small thump beside her, but it didn't startle the superhero. She was by now used to the sounds Huntress made when she landed. "Good evening," Batgirl greeted.

"You're not still mad at me?" the other woman asked.

"No.

"Good, because I didn't understand all of that."

"I have a feeling you understood it all better than I did." Batgirl finally turned and looked at the dark woman, now back in the familiar leather. "I'm sorry i flipped."

"It's okay, but you really must know that I am here for you, not him. I only have eyes for you," Huntress said. Her voice dropped low to a purr as she continued, "And when I saw you in those sexy hot glasses, I knew that I could never have eyes for anyone else, Red."

Batgirl blushed, but there was some skin that Huntress could see turning red. The redhead turned off her comm. Huntress then started to speak, but the words were no longer flirtatious. "To prove it... My father- Bruce Wayne, and my mom are in Paris. They are happy there together- They really are. I liked being there with them, but once I came here to see the place he spent so much time protecting, and I saw you, I liked it here better. But my father has fallen ill. He has been for a while now, which might be why he suddenly left New Gotham. I don't think he wanted you to know, to watch him deteriorate. He told me... He told me that he was going to give me everything. My mother has everything she needs from her time as Catwoman, and can care for herself for the rest of her days, but he wanted to do something for me. I told him if he wanted to do something for someone, then to give the money to you. You're the only one left out here fighting for this city and you could use it more than anyone I know, so he promised he'd do that. Anyway, if you want me to relay a message to him, I will do that for you, but he doesn't need to know that you know where he is."

Batgirl was silent for a long time as she thought of this. Bruce was sick? Already she felt part of her life crumbling away from her. Bruce was the strongest man she knew. Maybe this was why he didn't want for her to know, and now... she wished she didn't know. "Thank you for telling me."

Huntress walked to Batgirl and put a hand on her shoulder. The redhead turned her body so that they shared an embrace. Huntress nuzzled into her a wrapped her arms tighter around Batgirls waist. "It's okay. He's going to fight until the very end, you know."

"Yeah, I know." Batgirl looked up at Huntress, her green eyes locking with slitted blue.

Then, Huntress leaned in and kissed the superhero in her arms. Batgirl didn't back away, and returned the kiss. it soon became feverish and quick. Hands roamed everywhere looking for a place to rest, when suddenly Huntress felt batgirl's fingers right at the top of her leather pants, her fingers brushing the exposed skin above it. She gasped when that hand slid inside, under the underwear and quickly finding the landing strip of hair. Then, a finger slipped between the fold and found her clit. Huntress bucked forward, and Batgirl's other arm wrapped tightly around Huntress' back to steady her. Then her lips seem to engulf Huntress' in a hungry kiss as her finger moved at a quickened pace.

"Don't scream," the metallic voice of the mysterious figure said. "I need your help."

"M-Me? I can't do anything. I'm just a girl!"

"I know who you are, Gabby Andrews, and I need you to help me speek to Batgirl."

"I can't do anything for you."

"You can, because you work with Batgirl-"

"You have me confused with someone else. I am just a girl!" Gabby said again.

"You're much more than that, and we both know it. I know it because you were the one I fought that night at the credit union."

"That couldn't have been me. I have been grounded for the last two weeks. I couldn't leave the house.

The figure's body posture seemed annoyed now. "Look, I thought the ones I was working with were working towards a cause that turns out not to be as good as I thought. I need Batgirl's help to stop it. Now, I know it was you I fought, because..." The figure hesitated and then she took off the vocal necklace, mask and wig, revealing the blue streaked blonde that gabby was getting to know. There was a pleading look on her face as Gabby took a few steps back, her side feeling the cold of the room, not only from the shock, but also from the window that was still open. "I have the power to see things if i touch someone. I can move things with my mind. I have this... sonic cry, and sometimes- and this is new- I have this blast from my hands. I didn't want to hurt you in the first place that night, but when I touched you and I saw who you were, I backed off a bit. I swear- I couldn't have known it was you, but I had to get that part. I thought that the machine would be used for good. She was going to take my powers away and make me normal. i thought that machine was going to take powers from people in Arkham to help them too... But I was wrong. Please. I need to speak to Batgirl. I need her help."

Gabby was still silent as she looked at the strange hybrid of her friend and the mysterious figure. She just didn't know what to think, what to say. Finally she summed her words. "You?"

"Me." Dinah said sheepishly. "I am sorry for the injuries i caused you."

"Oh, that's fine," Gabby said. "We both did what we had to do. I got a good hit on you, but you didn't show it."

"Metahumans all heal a little faster than other people do. I am not sure why that is. It was gone the next morning."

"Oh." Gabby bit her lip, and then she said, "Alright, I'll contact Batgirl."
