It was a heavy rain coming down through the Gotham sky. It was the start of novemember and Ice cold. Even dressed in her costume with thrumal heated lineing Barbara was cold, but she couldn`t think about that. She was on patrol and had to sweep the entire area. It was Victor Zsaz. The man who years ago "Butcherd his own livning family" he had gone on a rampage through Gotham after the Joker got him out of Akrham Aslyum. Zsaz was as bad as the Joker, he was a hit man for hire and he skinned his victims. Rumers even persisted around the GCPD that he ate parts of them. Something which her farther Commissioner Gordon had tried his best to keep out of the press. The Gotham Gazette was a rag of a paper and had little if any morals. Batman had fought off Zsaz multiple times when he was an employee of the Joker. Rumer has it they had a falling out a few years ago, two of the most twisted men in the city now despised each other.
A family tragedy that haunted them both. Her brother was sick, but not in the way the Joker ore Zsaz was, he was harmless, just mentally ill. Barbara had been forbidden to be a cop, so she was studying Law because her farther figured a Lawyer was alittle safer but not by much. Not in this God foresaken town, but after many a heated argument over the years she told him she wanted to be a force for good. She wanted to help change the world and make it a better place. Eventually he relented and sighed heavily and then helped her fill out her application for Gotham university, he had wanted her to leave the city, hell the state, but she insisted on staying at home. Mostly because she was now the Batgirl of Gotham. A position she ahd fought long and hard for, she had the bruises to show for it. Proving herself to Batman and Robin took some time, over six months of her first (accidently) suiting up as Batgirl EVENTULLY Batman let her in his inner circle. Robin helped, he had been crushing on her and she figured he helped wear down his mentor. But it wasn't until she turned 19 they shared their identities with her as Bruce Wayne and his ward Dick Grayson. Bruce told her she had proven herself over the two years fighting crime. In that time she had faced Two Face, The Penguin, the Riddler, Mr Freeze and many other twisted criminals. Some of them even meta humans, she even teamed up with Batman and the frigging JUSTICE LEAGUE one time. She earned her stripes. It wasn't even a week after the family reveal she and Dick started dating, Other boys at her college were too immature and didn't get her. Dick understood her, they had shared trauma and that lead to a first love.
Dick was her first everything and she honestly figured they could get married one day when they were too old for all of this. But three months ago he and Bruce fell out, badly, and Dick left Gotham, he broke up with her when she refused to go with him to San Francisco and that was that. Now she was in her second year of college and wasn't going to throw that away even for him. But it broke her dam heart, and she knew it broke Bruces heart too. So here she was, the Batmans only current Sidekick she hated that word, she was his partner, she was incredibly intelligent a member of Mensa thank you very much. But to so many she was just the mysterious young woman who followed the Dark Knight around on his missions. Bruce was a broken man, his trusty butler and friend told her that once. "He needs you and Dick, more then he would ever say miss Gordon." Babs didn't need praise ore thanks, she learned that from her dad, you do the honourable thing because it is the wright thing to do. Bab`s lived by that mantra and always would. She knew been the Batgirl was dangerous, yes she had been doing gymnastics since she was four and yes she was a natural at fighting. She picked up skills just as fast as Dick had once Bruce agreed to train her. But still, all it took was One bad Day for one of this criminal pyschos to get the upper hand on her. She hated lying to her dad, and the few friends she had from working at the city library, she hated lying to them too.

Zsaz belonged in a Ayslum. In isolation but he found ways of getting away. Zsaz had been beaten Robin (Dick Grayson) her ex within an inch of his life. Dick was saved by Batman, it was the first time Dick had felt fear he once told her. Six months later she had suited up for the first time as Batgirl. She saved the socialite veronica Freeland at a charity fundraiser which was crashed by Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. her dad would kill her if he knew she had gone dressed as Batgirl that night. To say she fangirled over the dark night was a under statement. She had been 17 at the time and bored at school, she was way beyond her peers and already itching for colleague. Maybe the Dark Knight represented a darker side to her, a side she got from her estranged mother. her dad was a good guy, the best Cop the city had to offer but it weighed him down. Barbara wanted to be a cop but he had forbidden her, he knew the dark and twisted things that roamed the streets and he wanted to protect her from that world. In a way he hadn't been able to protect her brother who had been commited to a mental hospital.
