Superheroes- the script

Stephanie Brown/ Batgirl / Was Spoiler P.O.V

'Some big family...' I thought to myself. I catch myself glimpsing at Tim, Timothy Drake. Man wasn't he one handome young....(drool)

I mean look at him his light blue eyes and his built, toned muscles and...

STEPHANIE! snap back to it!

He catches my gaze and we locked into each others eyes. His brilliant blue yet pearly and mine well... plain boring blue. 

I haven't told him I have moved on. Moved on from my purple-suited persona, Spoiler.

"Hmm I wonder what you are looking at, Stephanie". He smirks with his jet black eyebrows raised in a pleasing expression. "I--how--but--" I blushed into a deep maroon red.

How humiliating! He caught me staring! But, how in the world did he know it was me under that cowl--- Ugh! of course, he is the genius of the bat family, duh Stephanie!

Red Robin jollily strolled past me. What he did next made my heart race faster than the Flash. Whispering, he spoke "Do you have something to say to me, Steph?"

  I ignored him and turned to Oracle who wasn't in the happiest mood.

Robin tuned in surprisingly for a child around his age. So young! What is he, ten? I assumed that he was one of the juveniles who took everything seriously, too seriously.

"So guys, whats the plan?" I jumped into conclusions as I received annoyed glares from everyone.

"My bad" I muttered away rolling my eyes. I am clearly not helping.

After a few horrible minutes passed by with me ignoring the "question", Oracle, Nightwing and  Bruce had finally revealed the butt-kicking plan.

I listened with circumspection as my almond eyed turned into a great shock. Oh gosh, this is a really risky plan.

I have to impress them now. Much more than I truly can.

I turned away with the thoughts of my self-consciousness flooding through me like a waterfall.

 I really didn't want to do this. But if I back away, I am no true hero.

I should and will step outside my box, my comfort zone. I see Tim eyeing me with great sympathy. "I will accept this mission" Trying to stay nonchalant.

I am frightened, I have great fear. Doing this will make me harm or worse, kill someone depending on the circumstances.

Oracle looked at me, pitifully "Steph are you sure---"

I cut her off  "Yes Oracle, I am affirmative."

Like Neil Armstrong said, a small step for me but a big step for humankind.

Funny how I can relate.
