Chapter 1.5

(Telling Commissioner Gordon)

The Bat signal was out, summoning the Batman to the roof top of the GCPD headquarters. "This is a first, Robin always answers the signal with you at the beginning of the school year."

"Two weeks ago... The Black Ops team, Robin's team of fellow protege's, were on a mission. Robin was shot down."

"Good lord, Batman! Is the kid doing alright?"

Batman is silent. "That day, Robin fell. He's dead..." Batman says with a mortified tone. "His body also went missing. I have reason to believe that the team was played, the entire mission was a distraction and that the target was Robin. I'm still searching for the body and why they would need it. But the team confirms the Robin was indeed... I managed footage, with advanced setting I was able to read for vital signs. But he was shot in the heart and throat." His fists ball up.

"I'm sorry... For your loss. That kid was truly amazing. I don't know what relation he had to you..."

"He was my son. Adopted son. He was also my partner, not a kid anymore either."

Gordon nods. When he gets home, Barbara had also just gotten home from gymnastics. "Hey daddy, were just meeting with your besties?" She makes jokes like that all the time.

"Batman came alone tonight."

"Where was Boy Wonder?"

"Robin had apparently been killed on a mission with other young proteges two weeks ago." Barbara was in shock. She was friends with that kid, he took her for rides around the city and would talk to her when she was upset with her dad. Though Robin was never happy with her ideas of becoming a crime fighter, he was still there as inspiration. And now he was dead. "Why don't you go call Dick, I'm sure he's willing to-"

"Dick is at that boarding school in Romania, remember? Going abroad."

"I'm sorry, Barb."

December 15th, 2011

Barbara is in her room. She knew there was someone downstairs with her dad because she heard a knock a little while ago. But she can't hear their voices, they seem to be whispering. It didn't matter to Barbara Gordon, she was excited because her best friend would be home by tomorrow and she couldn't wait to see him. But then there is a knock at her own door. "Barb, someone is here to talk to you."

"Come in!" She says. In walks Bruce Wayne next to her dad. He seems off... "I'm wrapping a gift for Dick, but don't tell him until I see him!" She explains.

"I'm sorry, Barbara... A flight went down this morning, I'm afraid Richard has passed away." He tells her.

"N-no... He c-can't have..." James Gordon sits with her on the bed, hugging her tightly as she begins to sob.

Batgirl and Jason Todd

February 1, 2012

Keep in mind that I already have a Batgirl begins type story, I'm not rewriting and this chapter isn't even a real chapter. The plot itself begins in chapter 2 so this is just filler on what happened till August 27, 2012.

Barbara jumps, shooting her line. However before she knows it she is falling. Her line was cut. But someone is able to grab her. She doesn't realize who it is until she is on a rooftop, The Batman. "Hey! Why did you do that?"

"Robin had told me back in July that he feared you would gain new nightly hobbies, Miss Gordon. This is the third time I've seen you out."

"Yeah but it's my fifth time out."

"Go home, you shouldn't be out."

"Or what?"

"I'll tell your father."

Barbara swallows. "I want to make a difference in Gotham, I want to fight crime!"

It takes weeks. Barbara is brought to the bat-cave. She is introduced to a kid only 11 years old. He had been training for only a month. Unlike Robin, he had a nasty attitude. His name is Jason and he is meant to be the next Robin.

"So, why bring me here?"

"You will be tested multiple times before you begin training, starting today. Today, Barbara Gordon, you will become an official member this partnership as Batgirl. If I can't get you to stand down, then I'll only make sure that the worst doesn't happen." And so it began. A month later, Batman took both Robin and Batgirl out for patrol for the first time. Barbara is told of the Black Ops team and how exactly Robin died as well as Batman's suspicions about the mission itself. She also learns that her best friend did not die in a plane crash but that he was Robin and never attended the boarding school as planned. Bruce Wayne is Batman and Dick Grayson was the famous Robin: The Boy Wonder. Barbara and Jason join the team but a couple months later Jason is taken by Joker during mission with just Batman and Robin. Joker blew the warehouse where Jason was being kept. Two Robin within the space less than a year. Jason shouldn't have been out on the field yet, thats what Batman said. The boy was too angry and never thought things through.

Barbara believes he blames himself because he couldn't do anything for Dick, but could have for Jason.
