Hello again. I'm gonna attempt to keep writing this and my other oneshot as well. I hope i'm doing a good job with these. This chapter might be weaker than the others unfortunately but i will do my best to please. I'm still trying to find a cool persona for Barbara when the time comes. Thank you. Just a reminder This is thinking to self.

After that weird dream Barbara tried to piece the puzzle pieces together but kept running into dead ends no matter how she was thinking. Who was the penguin look-alike?. What was Akira hiding? And what was a persona?

She was interrupted by the sound of her phone getting a text notification from the group chat she shared with Akira and friends.

We are heading to the Art exhibit do you want to come? Ann texted to her.

Barbara decided that she could try and figure out what trouble Akira is in by hanging out with him. Plus she could see the interesting culture of Tokyo.

Ok wait for me at the entrance ok. She responded. After packing phone and gathering some yen she walked to the subway to meet them there.

Later

"So who is this Madarame guy again?" Barbara asked as she walked with the trio of students.

"He is a famous painter with super good art on display." Akira spoke as they entered the art exhibit.

"You don't seem the type of person to be interested in art Ryuji" Barbara questioned.

"Well I have nothing to do today so i might as well chill." Ryuji said blatantly

"In that case I could help you with grades that are terrible." Barbara said with a grin.

"HA GOT EM!" Ann shouted only to get shushed by a sea of people trying to look at art. Sorry she said sheepishly.

Barbara smiled. She liked hanging out with the 3 students from time to time. They reminded her of days before the crime fighting. She was only three years older than them but they did not mind the age gap.

Suddenly her phone started to ring."Oh is your boy friend barbara?" Ann said jokingly. Barbara went to check caller id to see it was encrypted. "I have to go outside i will be right back guys."

Barbara went outside to an alleyway where it was quiet.

"Hello?'

"Hey barbara it's Dick do you got time?"

"Sure whats up"

"I was online and i saw the Kamoshida incident, was that you?"

"No unfortunately I only made the arrest, why do you ask?"

"You know your suppose to be on vacation?"

"Well "Crime doesn't take vacations"" Barbara said in her best Bruce impression.

"Ha ha ha, do you need me to come over there for help?"

"No I got it under control you don't need to come over."

"Ok then also do you know the artist Madame?"

"I was just at his exhibit here why?"

"Rumors have it that he teaches his student and then kicks them out and claims their art as his own."

"How do you know about this?"

"From the Phantom thieves fan site."

"You believe in those guys?"

"Well what if it's true?Though you might want to investigate tonight. "

"That sounds like fun send me his adress and I will do the rest."

"Ok stay safe Babs bye."

After hanging up she sent a text to the group chat they shared saying that she had to go, She was later for an appointment.

She raced back to her apartment to get ready.

That Night

She flew around for a while to take care of some smaller crimes before tackling her investigation. After a while her descend onto the compound that was Madarame's home.

After beaching in quietly she landed into a hallway she detected a hidden room full of painting but could not figure out how to get in.

Damn this guy is hiding something

As she was investigating for a hidden switch she thought she heard the sound of a paint brush.

Someone must be doing late night painting.

She knew that this bookshelf was the way to get in but she did not see how.

Madarame must have a key on him. He is hiding paintings obviously but I don't see why he is hoarding them.

"Would you mind holding that pose for a bit more please i'm almost done"

Barbara jump surprised to see that a boy sneaked up on her. Instead of reporting the intrusion he was painting her. "Almost there"

"Yusuke is that you? Do you know what time it is?" A groggily Madame said as he was walking down the hallway

Barbara took out a smoke bomb to escape but was still in earshot.

"No come back i need to finish"

"What are talking about, what are you painting my boy, who is that?"

"No one since, I saw her in my dreams that is all, my room wasn't big enough to hold my artistic excitement."

"Ugg, Go back to bed."

Barbara sighed in relief. Thank god, that was too close.

Well i hope that was a fun one guys. I thought it would be funny for Yusuke to paint batgirl while investigation. Also there will be no nightwing in this story. I feel like Barbara would relate to the Thieves more than the rest of the Bat family. Tell me what you guys think and i will see you soon. Bye
