The rush of being up here... Is thrilling. Barbara, wearing her Batgirl uniform once again, smiled and sighed to herself. She smiled at the thought of patrolling Gotham again with Batman, Batgirl, Black Bat, Robin, Red Robin, even Red Hood. But what she was most excited for was patrolling Bludhaven with Nightwing.
What are you doing? Why didn't you tell him? Batgirl's conscious screamed at her, He's going to kill you by the time he finds out.
"He won't find out." Batgirl told herself, "at least not before I tell him myself."
You're such an idiot, you know that? You're not even in a condition ready to fight. And if Nightwing doesn't even know, then there's no one here to save you now.
"Hmph." Batgirl set her binoculars down onto the concrete ledge as she stood up from where she was sitting on the ledge. She quickly grabbed onto the ledge before she could fall over from loss of balance, "whoa... I may be more out of shape than I thought..."
Suddenly, something hard hit the back of her head, making her fall onto her hands and knees.
"Ow, what the heck?!" Batgirl rubbed the back of her aching head as she turned to see who it was.
"Well, this isn't Batman... But you'll make a nice substitute for the bat." the white-masked man chuckled evilly as he slowly walked up to her, his red yarn-like hair waving in the wind.
"No..." Batgirl felt her face turn pale, Goshdangit! Why out of all the days to do this, you idiot... "Ragdoll."
She threw a hard punch at his face, which he easily dodged.He threw forward his long, sinuous arm and knocked her off balance. She hobbled weakly on her legs as she trudged slowly towards the ledge of the building.
"Please..." Batgirl whispered.
"Let me take you out." Ragdoll grabbed her and jumped over the edge with her.

"Oh no you don't!" Batgirl shouted, "I may not be able to use my legs, but I can still use my arms!"
She used all the strength in her arms to pry him away from her, shoving him off of her. As they continued to free-fall, Batgirl saw Ragdoll grab a pole and catch himself before falling onto the street below. She grabbed her grappling hook and shot it at a building, swinging to the wall and saving herself as well.
She quickly climbed up onto the steep ledge and felt her heart racing at the closeness between herself and death. She swallowed hard as she shifted carefully, trying to shift down the ledge.
"No, no, not now..." Her legs were starting to shake and go numb. She held tight to the wall. She continued to tell herself that she wasn't going to die right then and there.
"Goodbye."
She looked up to see Ragdoll from the other building, holding a gun. Her blood boiled with hatred for him as he pulled the trigger.
