Yay! Finally an update, this chapter will be shorter than the rest and most likely not one of the most interesting but whatever. Idk when my next update will be cause life is getting pretty hectic lately. Anyway, onto the story-
Previously:
"Hello." Shadow whipped his head around and came face to face with a young redhead girl dressed up in a bat suit.
*****LINEBREAK SUBSTITUTE*****
Shadow cursed as he quickly backed away from the girl. Didn't know the big bad bat had a kid. He thought to himself before getting into a fighting stance and winced slightly when his broken arm rebelled. He wasn't bothered that much by his other injuries because they were mostly healed but he knew that he needed to set his arm before the bone mended the wrong way.
"Might I ask what you are doing?" The redhead said. Shadow narrowed his eyes and noticed that she tensed in response
"Why do you want to know?" He asked snarkily
"I'm Batgirl." She said confidently. Apparently that was supposed to be a good reason
"And….." Shadow deadpanned
"And what?" Batgirl's face scrunched up in confusion and he couldn't help but smile (smirk)
"And why does being Batgirl mean you need to know what I'm doing?"
"I protect this city so that makes it my business when strangely dressed boys go sneaking around alleys at three in the morning." Shadow nodded thoughtfully
"Well if you really want to know so badly," He paused and smirked evilly as Batgirl waited expectantly, "you'll have to catch me." With that, he flipped over her head and launched a grapple line to the nearest rooftop before running away. He knew that she would probably catch up quickly so he decided to switch directions as much as possible. Shadow couldn't help but smile as he felt the wind whip his hair around and flow around him. Letting out a laugh, he released his line and flung himself into the air. As he took in the view from his temporary location, he caught sight of Batgirl not too far away and was immediately reminded of why he left his territory in the first place. The court of owls. Cursing to himself, Shadow decided to wait for her to catch up. He needed to talk to her boss anyway and he needed to set his arm so it would be easier if he just got her to take him there.
"Was that supposed to be a challenge?" She asked as she landed on his rooftop
"I decided to wait for you." Batgirl gave him a skeptical look before asking her question
"Why?"
"I need to talk to batman and my arm needs to be set. I decided it would be easier to get you to take me to the batcave then going there myself." Shadow smirked as Batgirl froze
"What?" sighing dramatically, Shadow walked slowly towards her
"I need to-"
"I know what you said! Do you really think that I would take you to the Batcave?"
"Yes." He laughed silently as she gaped at him
"N-no!" She spluttered
"Oh well, that's too bad. I guess you can just explain to Batman why I wasn't allowed to speak to him then." Shadow really hoped that worked and internally cheered when he saw the hesitation on her face
"You really have something to say to him?" he nodded "And he knows who you are?" again he nodded. Batgirl bit her lip as she weighed her options. Take him to the cave and go against her instincts as well as all the rules and face the wrath of the bat, or don't take him to the cave and still have the possibility of facing Batman's wrath. Finally she came to a decision.
"If you wait on top of the Wayne building, I will get Batman and the stuff to set your arm. You are NOT going to the Batcave." Shadow rolled the idea around in his head before finally accepting her answer
"Don't take too long." He said as he started off in the direction of the Wayne building. Smiling to himself, Shadow couldn't help but think about the new masked vigilante. Okay, maybe she wasn't that new but still….she was new to him. Batgirl seemed smart and perceptive. She would do good for the bat. When Shadow reached the specified waiting spot, he let his mind wander. By allowing the talon to be seen by Batman, they had no doubt initiated his detective skills. Dick laughed at how well they had weaved their trap. Bruce would likely figure out that he was the missing talon and then unknowingly lead the court right to him. He needed to tell Batman to stop looking for the missing talon before he led the court right to him. That would be bad. For everyone.
"Well, well, well, looks like the Bat did know you after all." Shadow whipped around in a fighting stance but relaxed after he saw who it was. Batman and his little pet. Speaking of the pet, she was carrying his medical supplies.
So that's the end of that chapter. Please review and let me know what you think about it. Did I do an okay job of Batgirl? Anyway, ask any questions you like and I will try to answer them in my next update or by pm-ing you.
