Rating: PG-13
Cassandra Wayne had a lot to deal with lately. Her home had been vandalized by the Scarecrow when he'd arranged dead bodies on the Wayne estate as a message to Batman. Last week she'd been exposed to the Scarecrow's fear toxin, which had not only terrified her, it had fully uncovered a memory she had repressed for years. That particular revelation had shaken her to her core. Then she'd had to keep Spoiler from killing the Riddler.
She really should have lessened her activities as Batgirl. She was running herself ragged. But she felt that if she stopped moving, the weight of everything would crush her. She had the love and support of her Family of Bats, sure, but in her mind she needed to be Batgirl.
In costume, she made a beeline for the rooftop where she and Spoiler did their usual training, and Batgirl seriously needed it. She'd once barely tolerated Spoiler's existence, but the purple-clad girl had grown on her. Spoiler had saved her life with the Scarecrow incident, and she'd returned the favor by saving Spoiler's with the Riddler incident. The two had become Best Friends, and Batgirl seriously needed to blow off some steam.
Some movement in the periphery attracted her attention. Someone -- female shape -- with a cape, leaping across a rooftop and then dropping into an alley. Spoiler? Batgirl peered over the edge of the roof to get a better look. This someone looked like she was breaking up a mugging. But more importantly, this someone was dressed up like Batgirl. The previous Batgirl, to be exact.
Cassandra's eyes narrowed.
