DC Superhero Girls: Plus Ultra

Hardlight

Barbara Gordon was many things to people that knew her. She was a superhero, a well-versed sleuth, a burrito enthusiast, A BIG BATMAN FAN, a tech wiz, an acrobat, and a crazy happy-go-lucky girl. But above all those things, Barbara Gordon was a geek. And much to her delight, she was playing her new favorite game, Mind Heroes II. She played on her portable gaming device as her own hero.

In the game, an armored bat-themed heroine battled against tiny monsters.

Barbara activated the game's settings and designed a new weapon. She combined the throwing stars with a blaster, creating an energy disk blaster. She smashed the buttons on her controller, causing the in-game character to fire her weapon at the monsters. Just then the level's boss monster appeared. Barbara commanded her character to jump back and fire once more.

"Come on, come on..." Barbara muttered as she hit the buttons.

Inside the game, Barbara's character, Bat Queen, ducked under the attack of the boss. She jumped up and kicked the monster in the face before firing at it with her bat-shaped energy disks. The monster let out a painful roar as Bat Queen rushed at the boss before giving it a powerful uppercut punch.

The boss disappeared in a big explosion.

"Yes!" Barbara cheered, jumping on top of her desk to celebrate. "Who the big girl?! Who the big girl?! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!"

Barbara danced on top of her desk like someone who had just won the lottery twice in the same day.

"Pst, Barbara, you should get down from there." Izuku whispered, trying to get the red-head's attention.

"No way, Izuku! I feel like the queen of the world!" Barbara replied loudly. "I just beat the advance level 10 in hard mode! Nothing could bring me down."

"Good to share with the class, Ms. Gordon." A stern voice said.

Barbara returned from the winning cloud she was on and saw Mrs. Smith and the rest of the class looking at her.

"I suppose that you've finished today's quiz and thus had enough time to play your little game?" Mrs. Smith asked with a raised eyebrow.

Barbara looked down at the quiz she needed to do. Not only was her quiz blank, it had a couple shoe prints on it.

"Oh, um I'm almost done, Mrs. S." Barbara said, getting back to her seat with a sheepish smile on her face.

Mrs. Smith looked at the blank page with a disapproving scowl.

Just then, the bell rang, causing the rest of the students to let out a sigh of relief.

"Then I hope you got a high score in your little game, Ms. Gordon. Because you will retake the quiz on Friday detention!" Mrs. Smith said, taking away the quizzes.

Barbara slumped down on her desk, groaning at her bad luck.

Another thing that Barbara Gordon was, was a little scattered brained.

After classes, the heroes gathered up at the school entrance with Barbara sticking her face to the screen of her game.

"Barbara, you gotta get your eyes out of that game." Izuku said.

"I can leave it any time I want. Besides, I don't see a problem with it." Barbara replied.

However, just as she said that, someone opened up their locker.

Izuku stopped Barbara from walking into it. He shot her a worried look.

"Calm down, besides it's not a big deal." Barbara said. "Name one time that me playing a video game has been a problem."
