After a couple of hours, Barbara Gordon could officially walk again. And boy was she happy. "So many things I want to do!" she excitedly said. "What would ya like to do?" asked Dr. Woof. "Hold that thought," she said as she walked to her closet. She then got out an old costume that was black and yellow, and she also carried with her a pair of yellow boots and an old utility belt. It was her old Batgirl costume when she was young! She came back to Dr. Woof with the Batgirl costume. "This is my old Batgirl costume," said Barbara as she held it. She felt all sorts of nostalgia, looking back at the memories when she was Batgirl. She then looked at herself in the mirror, with the Batgirl costume in hand. "Hmmm, I have a feeling this suit might not fit me..." said Barbara, "maybe the boots, maybe the gloves, maybe the cowl..."

"Perhaps you could make a new suit?" suggested Dr. Woof. "Good idea," said Barbara as she went to her closet again, "Alfred actually provided me with the same cloth Bruce would usually use for his Batsuit. Hmmm, let's see...." For several hours, Barbara measured herself to get the measurements of her new costume right. She found that the cowl did indeed fit, as did the yellow boots, as did her yellow gloves. She cut out the Bat Symbol from her old Batgirl costume, and sewed it on this new dark gray Batsuit. She then put it on with the boots, the utility belt, the gloves, and the cowl that was connected with a cape. "Well Dr. Woof," Barbara said in her new Batgirl costume, "what do you think?"

 Woof," Barbara said in her new Batgirl costume, "what do you think?"

"I like it a lot!" Dr. Woof said excitedly, wagging his tail, "welcome back, Batgirl." Barbara smiled. The next hour, a family was suddenly being mugged in a corner by two criminals, holding them at gunpoint. Batgirl saw them, and decided to jump in, making an entrance to gain the two criminal's attention. One of them gasped and said, "shit, it's the Bat!" Batgirl smirked. The more intelligent burglar said, "that ain't the Bat! The Bat's a lot taller, and he ain't a girl." The smirk then dropped as Batgirl said, "Why boys, I'm not sure which offends me more! The fact that you used language in front of a woman and child or that you talked to a lady like that!" Unlike Bruce, Batgirl didn't use a microphone to lower her voice. She then socked the idiot burglar in the jaw, knocking him to the ground. The intelligent goon tried to strike her with his gun, but Batgirl dodged his attacks, then punched him again, knocking him down. The guy crawled several steps back whimpering, "P-please! D-don't brand me!" Batgirl rolled her eyes. This was pitiful. "Why would I do something as foolish as that?" she asked, "I won't brand you. But I want you and Mud over there to tell your buddies... Batgirl is back." The guy nodded. Batgirl looked at the family and said, "It's okay, you can go home." The family sighed in relief, and left. Batgirl got out her grappling hook and went off into the night.

Yes, I know, that cover I used showing Batgirl putting on her boots isn't Barbara, and is actually Cassandra Cain, but darn it, that cover is awesome!
