2 days later
Barbara was getting the hang of the teachers aid job. She was mostly used for grading assignments, picking up papers from the printer, and giving side lectures in Ms Kawakami's class. She noticed Ryuji was more confident in school and was having a positive attitude. Granted his grades were not reflective of his character but he had changed. She had tried to help him by scheduling times to tutor but he did not have the time.
"Sorry Ms Gordon, I appreciate the help but there is this thing i have to do after school. Family stuff ya know?"
She nodded up after remembering she was in a class and it would look bad to sleep during the men's lecture. See looked around the room and saw two familiar faces in the class. Both Akira and Ann were trying to take notes the best they could. "Trying" might be exaggeration. Ann was checking social media while Akira was texting with someone.
Finally someone broke the sound of boredom. "Look out there!" someone cried. "What is she doing?" another person cried out.
"Students please return to class immediately." The teachers shouted to no avail.
Akira and Ann made it to the front and they saw a girl on the roof.
"SHE'S GONNA JUMP!" Shouted a student
Barbara heard this and busted out of the room and tried to make her way through the crowd but it was too late.
"SHIHO!"
Ann rushed down to the ground floor while Barbara was stunned. "If only i got there fast enough, if only…"
The aftermath assembly was bull-shit. The school covered up the whole incident like it was nothing. Barbara clenched her fist when everyone's favorite pedifile showed up on the stage. He made a huge deal about the volleyball rally coming up and denied even knowing Shiho.
"I can't believe this crap. I need some time alone." Ann said quietly exiting the auditorium.
Later Barbara met up with Ann to check on her. She arrived outside the hospital where she spotted Ann talking with both Akira and Ryuji. Barbara not wanting to intrude eavesdropped on the conversation.
"Please let me help in taking down Kamoshida, I have to do something, the bastard has to pay."
"For the last time Ann no way. We don't want you to get involved. Me and Akira have a plan to expose all of his crimes."
"Then what can I do"
"The best thing to do is to stay out of the way and let me and Ryuji handle this."
"Fine I'm gonna check on Shiho again. But this is Bull-Shit."
Ann made her way around the corner but stayed put.
"Now that she is gone let's go to the palace again come on."
The dashed to the alleyway with Ann secretly following behind.
" I don't think the LARP convention is over there." Barbara thought to herself
Then suddenly she felt a weird energy hit her, soft but enough to hit her.
She got up and made a way to the ally where the 3 students entered. She did not find a trace of them. "What the hell?" They walked here and then they were gone.
After she tried to imitate the following actions nothing was working. She decided that she was too busy for a regular stake out so she looked around her general vicinity and took out some hidden cams to set up around the area.
"I will check on those later to find out what they are up to."
Later that night
Batgirl made her way to the hospital and waited for the doctors to leave. She scanned in and walked to Shiho's room.
She entered and turned on the lights startling the girl.
NO pl-
"Shhh, i'm not gonna hurt you, I need answers and your help."
"I can't help you miss, even if I told you what i know he is untouchable."
"Not on my watch, he will pay tell me everything."
"Kamoshida sensei, he told me to come to his office, and then told me due to my lack of performance that i was out of the team. I have nothing left do you know what it's like to lose the thing you love to do the most?"
"Too well". Barbara was found of the moment when the joker knocked on the door. She felt helpless in the hospital. "But that doesn't justify you doing this to yourself."
"Thank you for your cooperation. I will make sure he pays for this"
She exited the building when she remembered the cameras she set up today. She swooped down to retrieve them and head on home.
After watching the film she had more questions than answers. It was like they never left. Then Ryuji decide to let Ann into their group. The audio and video was choppy like someone tampered with it out of the static she could make out one word.
Persona.
Well that happened. Thanks for reading but on that note i was thinking after i wrap this arc out would be alright to skip over the Madrame arc, I don't know it that well to justice to it but instead i would do like a time-skip to either the Kaneshiro(makoto dungeon) or Futaba's palace. Plus if i made Barbara have a persona i'm gonna leave it up to suggestions on the persona cause i love the story but haven't played the games(pls dont send the mob). PM me for ideas on that. I edited the past chapters for more details if you want to see that but. Enough me talking. Review pls. :)
