We met in the alley, the street lamps on both ends had been knocked out to hide the immense amount of power conspiring in its depths. Green Arrow stood in the center with Speedy on his left and Black Canary on his right. Batman stood in front of me and I on his left.

"You called for our assistance." Batman's voice scrambler made his tone even more gravely

"Yes, but it isn't safe to talk here. Follow us."

Speedy looked at me and smiled. I ran my eyes over him before smiling back and winking as we all jumped up to the roof. We followed them for a few blocks before we arrived at an old steel factory.

"In here." The Arrow opened a door and gestured us inside. We walked down some stairs and entered a large room with shining computers and lots of arrows everywhere. The Arrow introduced his two companions, a blond named Felicity Smoke and a man named Mr. Diggle.

"We have a small situation on our hands. A man named Slade Wilson, codename Deathstroke, has been infecting people with something called mirakuru. It heightens strength, the senses, and allows for rapid healing. These guys are not easy to handle. At midnight Deathstroke intends to unleash his army on the city. We need your help to contain them."

"What can we do?" Nightwing asked

"You guys can stay stationed in the city. If we can discover where they are operating; we might be able to shut it down."

"So we patrol around until we find the bad guy hideout?" my tone scrambler made me sound mysterious, and I didn't mind that at all.

"Basically. We just need more manpower. And Batman, I need to discuss something else with you in private." Green Arrow motioned the rests of us out and we left.

"So where are we starting?" Nightwing asked

"Well, I was going to cover downtown and I will need a partner. Black Canary can take the slums on her own, and someone needs to cover the docks. The Arrow and Batman will take the political and residential districts."

"I'll cover the docks." Nightwing offered and ran into the night. Canary nodded at us and went off on her own.

"So hot stuff, looks like it's just us." He winked at me and smiled

"Looks like it. Hope you can keep up." I ran and jumped onto the building across the street, parkouring across the rooftops. He zip-lined next to me and jumped slightly ahead of me.

"Hope you don't think this is a challenge."

"This is child's play." I laughed and ran faster, taking jumps and flips at break-neck speed. He fell behind me and only caught up when I stopped near the large skyscrapers signifying the heart of Sterling City. "Where should I start?"

"You can take the north end and move clockwise. I'll start here and move the other way." He was panting slightly to my satisfaction. I winked at him before swan-diving off the courthouse, pulling out my grappling hook and swinging over to the roof of Queen Consolidated. I monitored diligently, checking in with Batman and the Arrow every 15 minutes. At 10:15 pm Nightwing reported a disturbance at the docks at pier 27. The next check-in his mic remained silent. Without thinking, I moved across town and located the place. Batman was already there with Canary and they were assessing the situation.

"We can't get in. There are guards, motion sensors, cameras, heat detectors, and everything but the kitchen sink protecting this thing." Canary argued.

"Nightwing did it." I said calmly and thought like he would. He was very flexible and loved swinging around on things. I looked up and saw a crane on the pier. I would be a big glide but it would be possible. I looked at Batman and he nodded, knowing my thoughts. He would be too heavy to get a long-distance glide. The moment Speedy arrived I took his arm and hauled him to the top of the crane with me.

"Batgirl, what are we doing up here?"

"We need to get onto that boat."

"Are you kidding, that thing is locked up tighter than a nun's legs."

I cocked my eyebrow at him. "Not everything is as impenetrable as it seems. I need you to do exactly as I say."

We landed lightly on the top of the deck and quickly rolled into the main cabin, taking refuge under the bar. I quickly located a maintenance room with a door to the control room. We dashed through the darkness and entered the room so quietly the deckhand didn't hear anything until my foot connected with his head. Speedy caught his unconscious body and slowly lowered it to the floor. I entered the ship's computer and disabled the security features as well as the lights. I knew the Batman and the others would be entering the ship now, and wherever Nightwing was, he would be making his move.

"Shouldn't we go help?" Speedy barely made any noise as he whispered so close to my ear I could smell his cologne.

I shook my head but didn't respond. We both started when three men entered the control room but by the time their flashlights had swept the room we were hidden and poised to strike. I threw down a smoke capsule and quickly took out the first two men while Speedy dealt with the other and checked the walkway.

"No one else." He whispered and waved his hand in front of his face to dismiss the last of the smoke.

I nodded and crouched in the corner once more. Two more men tried to enter the room but one of Speedy's shocker arrows quickly dealt with them, although making more noise than I would have preferred. At 11 exactly Batman voice scratched over the mic calling both of us the port side deck.

"They weren't here, it was a decoy." Nightwing growled when we arrived. His hair was spiked and I knew he'd been running his hands through it in frustration.

"We need to split up again. We can assume this means they aren't at the docks." Arrow began, turning to leave.

"We can assume nothing. We should keep someone posted on the docks regardless."

The Arrow narrowed his eyes slightly. "Fine, Speedy can cover the docks. Batgirl and Nightwing can take downtown."

I shrugged and Nightwing and I headed off, winding around each other as we leapt over rooftops and glided across parks. This was our version of play and I giggled as Nightwing nearly knocked me off a house. I flipped directly in his way over a dumpster, forcing him to grapple. "Stop fooling around you two." Batman scolded.

We smiled guiltily at each other and move on, reaching the tall building in no time. I hung around the clubs and shadier part of town while Nightwing swept the courthouse and police station areas. I caught a whiff of a secret meeting underneath a club but it turned out to be just a drug-circle. A quick scan of their drug proved it to be a modified version of acid. I catalogued it and moved on, circling to the business district. One squat building settled on the south side of downtown held a suspicious number of heat signatures for this time of night. I conveyed the information and moved in, slipping in through an unlocked window in the third floor. I quickly climbed down the stairs to the first floor and moved to the back room. A man was addressing a group of about 35 people.

"We must take back this city from the over-righteous heroes who think they can control us!"

I peeked around the corner and saw a man in a mask standing at a sort of pulpit at the front of the room. I pushed my beacon on and began counting down from 60, the amount of time it would take Batman and Nightwing to get here. I continued listening, turning on my recording device. At 20 the man stopped his speech and pulled out a row of syringes, motioning up the first man. I acted quickly and shot a Batarang from my wrist, breaking the syringe.

"They're here!" the man shouted and looked around, squinting through the holes in his mask.

The other men all got up and began moving around but I stayed where I was. One of them passed within two inches of me but I remained still. The shadows seemed to be drawn to my dark clothing and I knew I was hidden completely from sight.

"Quickly!" the man motioned another up and I broke that vial as well. I knew Batman at least would be here now so I shot out a couple of electricity capsules and stunned a good half-dozen of them. They dropped only to be replaced with their friends who were beginning to close in on me. I shot out like lightning and fought like a demon. A few Batarangs whirled around me and after a few seconds some arrows joined them. Nightwing rushed next to me and fought fiercely. We both charged on the leader but he grabbed my leg and snapped it with one hand. I fell to the ground and Nightwing landed a few hits on his torso but the man lifted him and threw him against the wall. The man turned his ugly mask on me and moved to grab me again but an arrow hit him on the shoulder and sent him into spasms that forced him to the ground. I flipped away, landing on my good foot a few feet from the suffering man. The last man in the room besides the leader charged me but I launched towards him and kicked him in the face, swinging around his body to control my landing. Batman and Canary were putting the man in handcuffs and the Arrow was examining the syringes that were on the pulpit.

"It's mirakuru alright." He shook his head and stuffed the vials in his vest. "Thank you for helping me."

Batman responded with only silence and moved over to me where Nightwing was already kneeling. His quick fingers examined, wrapped, and splinted my leg in under a minute. Nightwing took me in his arms and then we were gone.

This was just a short introduction to the series. Let me know if you love it, hate it, or whatever. Thanks!
