'Why doesn't he just finish me already?' Dick thought.

He looked up and saw his reflection on the TV screen. His face was swollen. One of his eyes was swollen shut, he had a long cut on his temple, blood ran down into his other eye, making it hard to see out of it, his head was throbbing, and the dizziness was back.

Steve walked through the door carrying a gun. "So do you finally get it?"

"Get what? That you want me dead, but for whatever reason you won't kill me?" Dick questioned in a weak voice.

Steve just laughed. "Yes, my ultimate goal is to kill you, but I figured I'd let you suffer and make you wish you were dead."

"Then do it," Dick said trying his best to glare at Steve

Steve put the gun right up to Dick's temple. "I suppose I've had my fun. I got rid of Bruce, beat you to a bloody pulp, the only thing I don't have is my beloved Barbra. Maybe after I finish you I'll take her and go to Florida. We'll spend the rest of our lives together."

"No," Dick tried to yell out, but he only managed to get out a horse voice.

Steve laughed again. "What are you going to do about it. You'll be dead."

Dick glared up as Steve began to put pressure on the trigger. Dick closed his eyes and waited for the bullet that would end his life. 'At least I'll get to see mom and dad again.'

"So long," Steve said with a big demonic grin.

Before he completely pulled the trigger, the lights went out. "What the..." Steve shouted as he looked around the room.

Dick opened his good eye and looked around as well. What they saw next surprised them both.

A figure passed by the window and Steve pointed the gun toward it. "What the heck is going on?" Steve demanded.

The figure stood right in front of the window, but because of the difference in lighting inside and out, all Steve and Dick could see was the shape of a dark figure.

"Who's there?" Steve shouted.

The figure spread their arms out and it appeared as if they had wings.

'Bruce?' Dick questioned surprised. 'But I thought...'

Steve's eyes went wide and he placed his other hand on the gun. "N-no way. I killed you!"

The figure put their arms down and walked toward the window.

"S-stay back!" Steve shouted as fear began to creep into his voice.

When the figure didn't stop, Steve fired the gun at the figure's chest. "Ha, I warned you," he exclaimed smugly when he saw the figure stop and take a few steps back.

"No," Dick cried out in fear, but both Dick and Steve were surprised to see the figure still standing and showing no sign that they just got shot.

"What the..." Steve questioned and began shooting the rest of the bullets in the gun.

The figure began walking toward Steve as if the bullets weren't even there.

When the gun ran out of bullets, Steve threw the gun at the figure, but the figure just dodged it. "W-what are you? Some kind of demon?" he asked then began backing up. "You're supposed to be dead!"

Dick stared at the figure surprised, but when the figure walked past him, he noticed something. The figure, who he thought was Bruce, did not have a flat chest. 'Barbra?'

Steve hit the wall behind him then took a step forward and threw a punch at the figure.

The figure blocked the punch and gave a return kick which sent him crashing into the wall.

Steve laughed. "You're no Batman. That kick was to weak for someone like him. Who are you really?"

The figure didn't answer, but threw a punch at him instead.

Steve dodged the punch and got away from the wall. The figure then turned and threw another punch followed by a kick. Steve blocked the punch, but didn't expect the kick and stumbled back to keep himself from falling.

When he got a good look at the figure, he saw that it was a woman he was fighting. "So girly, you gonna tell me your name. Oh, wait, let me guess... Batgirl?"

The figure remained silent and charged at him again, throwing more punches and kicks.

Dick watched helplessly as Steve and the figure continued to exchange punches and kicks. 'She's not bad. Maybe it's not Barbra, but then who would it be?'

Steve threw another punch, and the figure did a couple back flips to avoid it. When she landed, they both stared at each other panting. "You're a pretty good fighter. Where has Bats kept you hidden?"

The figure took another few breaths then charged at Steve again. They exchanged a few more punches when the figure noticed they were getting really close to Dick. 'If he hits me, I'll fall right on Dick,' she thought.

She tried to throw a few punches to knock Steve back, but her hits just weren't strong enough. 'Dang it!'

Steve threw another punch at her, and she jumped up and did a back flip and landed a handstand on top of Dick's shoulders and then swung her feet and smacked Steve in the face, knocking him back a few steps, holding his nose. "Why you little... I'll kill you!" Steve said angrily.

Dick was surprised when the figure landed on his shoulders, and because of the beating he got earlier from Steve, he gasped in pain.

The figure leaned down close to Dick's ear. "Sorry, Dick," she whispered before she pushed off his shoulders and landed behind him.

Dick stared at the figure in surprise. 'It really is Barbra! If Steve finds that out...' He didn't even want to think of it.

Gordon was sitting in his office looking at the map of Gotham. "Where the heck is he?" he said angrily to himself. He looked up to the door when he heard someone knock. "Come in."

"Sir," a male officer said, "there's a call for you."

"Who is it?"

"It's Batman, Sir."

Gordon looked at the phone surprised. "Batman?" He picked up the phone. "Batman?"

"Commissioner, I know where Steve is holding the Grayson boy."

Gordon's eyes went wide with surprise. "You do?"

"Yes, he's on 23rd street, house 450. I won't be there, but I've already sent someone in my place."

"Someone else?"

"Yes, I'm on another mission at the moment."

"Then how did you know about the situation and where Steve was?" Gordon asked confused.

"Bruce Wayne's butler informed me, and I had a free moment and tracked him down with the help of the person I spoke of earlier."

Gordon sat back completely amazed. "I'll never understand how you do it, Batman."

"You're dealing with a psychopath, Commissioner, you need to hurry," Batman said not in the mood for small talk.

"Right. Thank you for the information," Gordon said then hung up. "Not a very social guy," he said to himself then looked up to see the other officer still standing there. "House number 450 on 23rd street. I want our people there ten minutes ago!" he said as he began to walk to the door.

"Yes, Sir!" the officer replied then ran out the door.

Barbra was beginning to wear down. Even though she was a gymnast, she wasn't use to all the fighting. 'How in the world does Dick do this?'

"What's wrong little bat? Your wings getting tired?" Steve said teasingly.

Barbra threw another punch at him angrily. The next few punches she threw at him connected and sent him stumbling back.'Looks like he's not doing so well either,' she thought with a smile on her face.

As Steve was throwing a return punch, lights suddenly burst through the window. "Steve Savage, this is the police. We have you surrounded. Come out with your hands up or we will come in by force," Gordon said through a megaphone.

Steve actually turned around and looked at the window when Gordon began speaking, giving Barbra an opening. Barbra smiled and kicked as hard as she could at his head.

By the time Steve turned back around, he had no time to block the kick.

The kick collided with the side of Steve's head and sent him flying to the other side of the room and into the wall.

Dick watched in amazement as Steve crashed into the wall and slid down to the floor.

Barbra walked over to Steve and stared down at him. Steve slowly lifted his head. "W-who are you?" he asked.

"I'm Batgirl," she responded, then punched him as hard as she could in the face causing him to slump down unconscious.

Barbra turned around, took a few steps toward Dick, then fell to her knees exhausted. "That was amazing, Babs," Dick said.

Barbra smiled. "Thanks."

"But you need to go out and tell your dad that you've taken down Steve and get out of here."

Barbra nodded, stood up, and walked over to Dick. She then touched the un-swollen side of his cheek and kissed him. "Ok. See you at the hospital."

Dick smiled and nodded.

Gordon raised the megaphone getting ready to talk again when he saw someone coming out the window. All the officers raised their guns at Barbra. "Hold your fire!" Gordon yelled. At that command, all the officers lowered their guns, and Gordon walked over to Barbra. "You must be the person Batman sent."

"Yes, I'm Batgirl," Barbra said trying to disguise her voice so her dad wouldn't recognize it. "Steve is unconscious inside, and I'll leave the boy to you."

"Thank you. We'll take it from here," Gordon replied.

Barbra nodded then shot her grappling gun toward the nearest building and flew off.

"They're all the same," Gordon said to himself then turned to the other officers. "Alright, boys, let's get them out of here!"
