WHO: Steph and Dick.
WHAT: Patrolling gone wrong.
WHEN: After this, before Dick's playtime with the cultists.
WHERE: Gotham, near Robinson Park.
WARNING: violence.
[After the first appearance, Spoiler's sightings have been scattered to the point of tapering off almost entirely. No one has made a connection that Batgirl, with her purple and can-do attitude, is the same woman as the one who dresses in black kevlar with splashes of purple and a bow and arrow. Most of Gotham still wonders where the little blonde bat went, but she's long gone for Stephanie. Stephanie, who hasn't been out patrolling much at at all since the panic attacks began. But, Dick has asked, and she can't say no, especially when there's a gang war possibly brewing. She should't be out there with weapons and crime without anyone to check her, but there she is. In her purple, with her guns strapped to her legs, perching up on a rooftop near the park and watching for any sort of suspicious activity.
She'll be okay, though. Despite her lack of control and despite the fact that Eddie's reaction to their tryst in the tub is still breaking her heart into pieces hours later, she'll be okay.
That is, until she sees something go down in a nearby alley.
It's obvious even from afar what's about to go down. The man in his bulky hoodie and obscured face presses the woman he's been apparently trailing against a wall, and she shrieks. With a flash of purple and a grapple hook bang, Spoiler lands right next to them with a thud.]
Wanna try me on for size? [The man is startled, and he stumbles back from the wall. The woman -- actually girl, no older than eighteen -- takes the chance and edges back and runs away before he wises up. The guy, perturbed, turns to lunge at Spoiler. Blade of a knife glinting in the street lamps. She dodges, and his hood falls back, and all Stephanie sees is him. She doesn't even know his name, or anything really about him. He's just some nondescript goon who had a lucky slice. But he's still the man who almost killed her. (Of course, it's not him in reality. But Steph can't tell the difference.) So, she swings hard at his jaw, then kicks him in the stomach and starts wailing on him. Punches to the face, elbows to his chest, a kick to his side. Even when he stops fighting, even with blood spurting from his face, she keeps going.]
