Babs POV

"What about this? I didn't like the whole black and yellow, it reminds me of that one song. So purple and black, and I also have an extra utility belt on my leg." I watch her walk out of my bathroom and I immediately smile as I see her new get up.

"I think this one suits you a lot more than mine." I point out as I roll over to her and examine the cape.

"This needs to be taken to Alfred so he can put electric bolts on the edge of your cape, it will become a weapon, especially for anyone who tries to pull on your cape." She nods her head knowingly recalling when she was spoiler and her cape proved to be a hassle at time. I turn around to see Alfred walk in my apartment with the extra set of keys he some how got a hold of without me knowing.

"Good afternoon, Miss. Barbara and Miss. Stephanie. 

"Hey Alfred, I'm going to be the new batgirl!" Stephanie shouts excitedly as she runs up to him and gives him her new suit. "Can you do your magic on it, so I can go out and be just like Barbara?" Hearing the last part I inwardly sigh as realization dawns on me again that I won't ever use my legs ever again. I won't be batgirl anymore. With the troubling thoughts in my mind again I put a small smile on my face as I excuse myself to the kitchen to make myself some tea. Tea always seems to make my troubles go away.

"Oh, Miss. Barbara. You don't need to trouble yourself, I can make some tea for you. You should go relax." Alfred shoos me out of the kitchen. I try to tell Alfred, that he's the one who needs to relax out of all of us. But he's just like Bruce, stubborn as hell. I chuckle as Alfred piratically pushes my wheelchair out of the kitchen and I have to go back to Stephanie who is lit up like a Christmas tree with excitement.

Bruce's POV

"it doesn't add up, two-face would not confess a bunch of stuff so easily, it's not like him." I point out to Dick once he gets into the batcave and I tell him all that Harvey told me.

"Perhaps he felt he already won, so there was no need to hide anything?" He tries to give a good excuse but it's not working. There's something bigger being planned, and I have to find out what is it, before anymore innocent lifes are at stake. I've already failed Barbara, I'm not going to fail her again or anyone else.

"Remember when Joker mentioned Gotham would know who Batgirl is? The thing is he hasn't said a thing. They maimed her but they haven't spilled her identity." I search all news outlets again and websites but nothing shows about Barbara being Batgirl. The only thing I could find is the recent news of her being paralyzed at the hands of the joker.

"Nothing seems to add up in this at all, like why did they make it so easy to find her, how did James just fall off the face of the earth and we can't find him. Hell I asked Clark if he could hear him, and he couldn't. I have a feeling there's more people involved in this than we thought." Dick rambles on as he sits in the chair next to me and I just gave a nod of understanding.

"I will call Gordon and request to keep Joker and Two-face in different building one in BlackGate the other in Arkham. If they are planning something big, we have to cut off the communication between each other. We will put a stop on this, because I feel Barbara isn't safe not just yet." With that statement I slip on my cowl as I look Dick in the eyes.

"I trust you can watch over her, and make sure she's safe?" I didn't need to ask him that. I can tell how much they love and care for each other. Even long ago when it was just Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. I saw the love they had for each other even before their own hearts can admit to it. After all I know them better than they know themselves at times. I was the one who trained them, but it still wasn't good enough.

"I will protect her with my life, we all will. Bruce you don't need to worry, nothing will happen again." With his signature smirk he walks out of the cave in his street clothes to pay Barbara a well needed visit. I just hope she won't be stubborn this time, and accept out help.
