Batgirl was in Robin's hospital room, chatting with Hagai and the still bed-bound bird. They were talking about something completely random –the exact topic was streetlights –and Robin remarked that if you broke the yellow light, the streetlights would be Christmassy.

"Well, then this is now our conspiracy! On Christmas day, I'll go around breaking all the yellow streetlights in the city and we'll have Christmas everywhere!" Batgirl was giggling at the look on Robin's face.

"You can't go without me," the bird complained.

"Oh I know, you two could dress up in red and green versions of your costumes!" Hagai suggested.

"Suuure, and let all the villains know we're coming," Robin drawled, while Batgirl snickered behind her hand.

"Well, just to let you know, you're free to go today if you wish," Hagai informed.

"I think we'll take you up on that –I've had enough of this hospital room to last me a lifetime," Robin remarked.

"Well then, I can only wish you a speedy recovery," the Israeli murmured, watching as Batgirl helped the teen to his feet. Grabbing a grapple out of her belt, she threw it and they swung on to the rooftop next to Gotham General.

"Okay, we need to make a stop at Gotham Academy," Robin instructed.

"Why there?" Batgirl asked, confused.

"I have a spare utility belt there," Robin replied, balancing unsteadily on his battered knees.

"Oh. And why would you have it there?" Batgirl asked, suspicious.

"Tell you later- now's not the time," the Boy Wonder replied, latching his arms around the Dark Lady's neck, and she took off towards their school so that the bird could get his belt.

They slipped in the unlocked back door, where Robin found a panel on the wall and pushed it out of the way, revealing a set of civvies, a pair of sunglasses, and a golden colored utility belt. Grabbing the utility belt and clipping it around his waist, he pulled out his own grapple and went slinging across the Gotham night. Everyone that saw them stared. Batgirl and Robin in civvies? Slinging across Gotham the night before Christmas?

A street kid by the name of Jason Todd stared in awe.

"Why are we going this way?" Batgirl asked, as the two landed in the phonebooth alley.

"Just trust me," Robin replied, walking over to the phonebooth and opening the door. "Watchtower. Code Robin B01 78-HG Bird-59 Designation: Batgirl B11." Robin looked over his shoulder. "You coming?"

"Sure?" Batgirl replied, and together they stepped into the phonebooth.

Recognized: Robin B01 Batgirl B11

Batgirl stepped off of the glowing platform, following Robin as he limped through a hallway to stand in front of a large supercomputer.

"Welcome to the Batcave," the bird told her, grinning.

"Whoa. This place is sweet!" She exclaimed, running her hands over the keyboard.

"Yep. And, Babs-"

"Wait, you know my name?" Babs twirled around, eyes narrowed, to meet the uncovered eyes of…

Dick Grayson.

"Double whoa. Dick?! You're Robin?"

"Yep," he replied, quirking a half-smile.

"So is Artemis…" Batgirl asked, trailing off.

"Yep. Artemis is Artemis," Dick replied. "Whelmingly asterous, right?"

"Totally. So, is this, like, an open invitation to join your team?" She asked, curious.

"Yep. If you'll have us. Kaldur's a little restrictive, but he's better than Bats was in that manner," the Dark Knight replied.

"Well, I think I'll take that offer!" Babs replied, smirking.

"Great. I'll introduce you to the Team on the New Year. So, does your dad…?"

"No. I don't want to tell him, but I mean, he should know…" The Dark Lady looked conflicted.

"We can tell him right now. As you said, he should know," Dick replied, replacing the sunglasses on his face.

"Okay. But, who's to say he won't stop me from being Batgirl?" Babs looked worried.

"Hey, at least he'll know! And you'll have Artemis and me looking out for you, and you looking out for us. There's safety in numbers, and that's something you need in Gotham," Robin reasoned.

"Okay. So, we go in civvies?" She asked.

"Yep," Robin replied. "Just remember- you, not me. I'm not quite telling him my identity yet."

Batgirl rolled her eyes behind the sunglasses. "Come on, dork."

The two walked back –or in Robin's case limped –to the zeta platform, once again returning to the Gotham night.

The two slipped into the alleyway, grappling to the apartment Babs shared with her dad and slipping into her window.

"Okay, you go talk to him, I'll wait here," Robin instructed, and Babs shrugged, slipping into the living room.

"Dad…There's something I need to tell you. Can we come to my room for a bit?" Babs looked nervous, and Jim stood up to face his daughter.

"Is this about your new hobby?" He asked bitterly, and Babs nodded, leading the way to her room. They entered to Robin sitting on the windowsill, smirking at Babs.

"You can stop looking at me like that you dork," she snapped, Gibbs smacking him.

"Hey! That's just my default expression!" Robin looked offened.

"What is he doing in here?" Jim asked, eyes narrowed.

"Uh… This is Robin," Babs replied, suddenly awkward again.

"I know that," Jim replied, getting impatient.

"And for about a month, I've been going out as Batgirl," Babs blurted.

"What?! No, you wouldn't…" Jim was in denial as Babs strode purposefully over to her closet and pulled out a bloodstained purple uniform.

"Lady, you kept that?" Robin felt slightly betrayed. "That thing has my blood all over it! So not whelming!"

"Hey, I didn't know how to get rid of it without arousing suspicion!" Babs protested.

"That's simple- do what the rest of us do: sneak to the dump at night, toss it, and high-tail it," Robin replied.

"Oh," Babs replied, blushing, while Jim stared at the easy dialogue between the two heroes.

Robin nodded. "Least risky mission you will ever take."

"Well," Jim sighed, interrupting the new Dynamic Duo. "I don't think I'll be able to stop you, but just be careful."

"I will, don't worry!" Babs called back, replacing the glasses on her face. "So, what now?"

"Now, I will teach you in the ancient art of being a totally filtrating Bat," the Boy Wonder snarked.

"Oh? And how?" Batgirl replied, Jim watching in amusement.

"Like this," Robin smirked, falling backwards off the windowsill. Batgirl rushed over, mouth agape, to see Robin flipping over to the building next door.

"Brat," Batgirl muttered, following.

Decided to post this early 'cause what can I do when I already have ten chapters after this completed? Dear Lord, we have trolling Robin and conspiring Batgirl/Robin/Hagai in the same chapter?! (I'll have to add more sometime.)
