Jason Todd: Alien girls are weird.

I've been staying at Wayne Manor since Bruce well... who the hell knows he vanishes a lot. People are talking about a battle for the cowl coming uh... yeah. As soon as anyone takes Bats' mask he'll show up again.

Anyway yeah it was okay until I'd come back in from night patrol and hear something rattling around the kitchen. I wander in there, and oh naked chick I wonder if this is one of Bruce's girl friends?

Then she turns around Ugh!


“Cass why the hell are you naked? Does Bruce let you roam around like that?"

“I was uncomfortable..."

“That makes two of us Argh!" So I've been spending the night at one of Bruce's safe houses since then. I can do without little sister streaking. Next thing you know Tim will wear a dress, and Dick will try to be short Batman...

Any way I was getting with to do my morning workout when I was blown up by
Pan

Say what you want about Batman being paranoid, and all but that body armor he gave me saved my neck. I was stuck under rubble for about an hour slowly digging my way out until Vel finally freed me you know some guys make fun of me for having a girlfriend much stronger than I am...

But it seems to be a Bat Family tradition of some kind Bruce, and Wonder Woman, Dick, and Starfire, Tim , and Wonder Girl... well that and those guys all lust after Supergirl who's s bit stronger than Vel. But that's not my point my point is this time it's quite an advantage since I only got to spend an hour under the rubble, and not all day.

Anyway she gets all pissed and goes to beat up Pan... okay cool I can still do what I planned to do today. Turns out the guy running around in my old Red Robin costume was an enemy of Tim's called the General.

That jerk got me put in the slammer for a day and his distraction got me shot in the leg. He's already in prison after his last fight with Robin but Now he's gonna meet the Red Hood.

Sneaking in was easy enough. I break into his cell and he starts with the regular villain tripe. “ I trained with great masters... so I could defeat my great adversary Robin... you the failed Robin can not... Argh!"

The Argh was the part when I kicked him in the jewels. I was trained by many of those masters too, and Batman. But nothing's better than fighting dirty.

I pull a gun and think about shooting him in the head. Nah Not worth the bother I'll get from the other bird boys. I shoot him in the leg in the exact way I was injured... good enough., and he won't get some magic bean thing from his half alien girlfriend so he's gonna have to live with some pain.

I escape, and go back to the Mansion. Where the little terror Damian is whining at Alfred. I slap him in the back of the head. “You don't mess with Alf ya got that?"

“What kind of shenanigans have you been up to Master Jason?" He eyes me suspiciously.

“No one died if that's what you're asking ."

“Very good sir. You can have a cookie."

I'm really hoping that's a joke. I sit not really paying attention to anything when I'm grabbed up and put on someone’s shoulder a slim shoulder that looks like it shouldn't have the strength to pick me up.

I sigh. “I wish you wouldn't do that Vel."

“Why?" She giggles.

Tim runs out and laughs.

“That’s why." I groan. “Hey Tim shut up At least my girlfriend didn't fake her own death to get away from me like Brown did to you."

“She didn't fake her death she was really dead!" he gripes.

Sure she was. I smile as I'm being carried like a sack of potatoes out the door the rest of the night was good, and bad the good good dinner, the bad I had to clothes shop with the little princess.

She laughs. “Don’t worry it won't be all bad you get to take a bath with me.

I thought that was great until we get to where Legacy used to have thier HQ. She put all this girlie crap into it bath salts... perfumes bubbles ugh.


Too much damn pink in this room too. Later after we dry off we, and put some clothes we run into The mini version of Tony Stark. “Oh good glad you two are still here. I'm putting together a new Legacy And you two are prime candidates, and wait...why do you smell like Flowers 'Hood?"

Stupid bath perfume....

Batgirl: Batgirls united

I was at um.. Inertia's funeral. I don't get these funerals And i said it out loud...

Vella speaks up. " Hm some one's talkative today, and a bit morbid too." She smiles. " We'll just bring him back with the dragon balls when they regenerate in some months." I see Jason wince.. at her saying that.

Must be nice to be live that people always come back... then again Superman was dead...Conner was dead... I look across this graveyard, and I see a Flash that used to be dead. Why can't the man that my father made me kill as a kid come back?

Supergirl um bounces up to me. " Hey! Batty I was going to ask you if you need a new member Well I can help ya out."

" I don't... know When I lead Legacy someone died. ... Not sure if I want to lead anymore.

" Oh bat angst nice. Well here keep my number, and call me when you're recruiting. "

Great I can barely read her number.I guess I could get Vincent to read it... but I haven't seen him in a few days. After that was over, and I had my share of dirty looks from Anthony Stark Jr.

Later at the Batcave... I sit Staring... at the computer.Wishing Batman were here.. So I could talk ..or Nightwing or Robin. Or someone besides the annoying Damian Kid Or Jason...

Ugh Why does Batman have to vanish every once in a while? As I sit thinking... I don't notice. Somone walk in. " Wow it's unusual for someone to sneak up on you."




I sigh. " Not another alternate universe or ... um reboot."

" Nope it's me no universe reboot or anything Cass." Barbara smiles.

I grab her and hug her. "You can walk again!" her body language is a little weird about it though. " Hey while the boys are wherever. why don't we protect Gotham?get into costume."

This is weird... I was always told that if Barbabra walked again she'd take the Batgirl name from me But she wants to um team up.. I should have known.. she's never really been that um mean to me. So I'm ready.

We went swinging through the city. Until we saw this weirdo in a moth suit.



He's strange looking.

"ohhh man I don't be live it! My old pal Killer Moth!" Babs laughs "I thought you were run out of this city years ago! robbing a bank? Really? Wow! Like old times."

" Who's this Batgirl? Your ugly little sister?" Moth guy spits.

" Sister ? Soon yes. Ugly no. It's actually too bad she hides herself behind that mask anywhoo We'll just kick your butt now."

All these guys dressed like moths try to attack us. I beat them down while Barbara charges Killer Moth Whiles she's not a as good a fighter as I am, she didn't do all that bad.

I watched her back knocking out the guns from henchman's hand is or just knocking out sneak attackers. Then all of the sudden there was a popping sound and Barbara fell in a heap.

" I don't know what happened to you batgirl

I um step in front of the moth man and Barbara. "Oh what are you going to do tiny?"

I break his arm, and leave him tied up for the police, I swing Barbara, out of there.

" Ah stupid exoskeleton!" Babs yells.

" you can't walk?" i ask.

" No it was an exoskeleton made to look like my suit I was I ... well I just wanted to go out one last time. After the Weirdo with the Cosmic Cube made me Batgirl again Seems dumb huh?"

" No... Why did you want me to come along?" I um question.


" Well you always were like a student to me I guess I just wanted. To fight along side you for once if I stayed Batgirl you'd be my sidekick now." She laughs.

" No I'm the better... fighter." I say. " You're just the pretty one."

" Hey! I' m the brains! You're the brawn! Just take me back to the Clock Tower." She sighs.

" What did you mean you would be my sister?" I ask.

" I'm marrying Nightwing remember?"

" Well you'll be... better than my real one."

Hey Bruce, Tim, Dick, Jason, and me are your real family. David Cain only wanted to use you as a weapon. Family isn't always about blood."

After taking Barbara back to the clock tower. Nightwiing tries to give me an um Pep talk about leading a super team.

I guess I feel a little better Now after talking with Dick. Inertia did um... make his choice to sacrifice himself.

i return home.. and find a Vincent waiting on me asleep.

I guess it's a good thing... Bruce isn't here.... he wouldn't like me bringing Vincent up to my room.
