Barbara's POV
"No." I fold my arms. "There is no way I'm wearing that." Dick holds up a purple and gold kimono.
"It's for the mission. Come on, Batgirl! Artemis and Zatanna have to wear one too."
"What about you?" I ask.
"Um...we're wearing suits." Dick says sheepishly.
"Robin, that thing gives no protection whatsoever. Plus, I would stand out too much with my hair." Dick throws me a black wig.
"The kimono has padding over your vital organs." Then he pulls out two chopsticks, a pair of black sandals, and a white case.
"Click the top of the sticks to change them into escrima sticks. The sandals have a dial on the heel to switch modes. And the case has contacts in it that let you see like Conner. Better, even." I grab the kimono and scowl.
"You owe me big time."

[Batgirl, can you see the target?] Dick asks me telepathically.
[No. But I can see Queen Bee. She's talking to the president of north Rhelaysia.] I report.
[M'gann, can you get the bio-ship closer? If our Intel was correct, the assassin should be here in less than five minutes.] Kaldur orders.
[Why did we even need all of us here?] Wally asks.
[This is Shiva we're talking about. She's fought Superman and won.] Dick explains.
[Whatever.]
[M'gann! I've got a visual on Shiva at the north entrance!] I yell excitedly.
[Acknowledged.] M'gann says.
[We're on our way. Artemis, Batgirl, stay with the president.] Dick orders.
[Acknowledged.] I say. [Be careful, Robin.] I say quickly.
[Never.] Dick replies, and I can practically hear the smirk.
[ahem.] Zatanna interrupts.
[Move out.] Kaldur orders.

[Batgirl! Shiva's put something in the President's wine.] Conner yells.
[Knowing Shiva, it's designed to either paralyse the president, or it's a tranQ.] I reply. [Even together, Robin and I couldn't beat her.]
[We can't blow our cover. Superboy, Miss Martian, Zatanna, do not engage. Artemis, Robin, Batgirl, it's up to you.] Kaldur orders.
[Artemis! Get to higher ground and try to snipe out Shiva. Batgirl, cover me while I neutralise whatever agent she put in the drink.] Dick orders.
[And what do we do about identities?] I question.
[No one can recognise us through our wigs and stuff.] Artemis reminds me.
[Yeah, yeah.] I huff.
[Artemis! Batgirl! Move out!] I switch the dial on my sandals, and two pieces of leather fold over either side, and a low heels pops out. Sweet! Okay, let's try these sticks. I grab them from my hair, and click them, and I can feel them lengthening in my hand.

An arrow flies towards Shiva, but she grabs it.
"Now they send children to do a woman's work? The Justice League are losing their touch." She mock scolds. The arrow beeps and a small explosive is released.
"Now would be a really good time to work on that antidote!" I hiss.
"It's going to take-" I grab the cup and throw it to the floor. "Well, that's one way of doing it."
"Robin, we need to neutralise Shiva. The chances of taking her in are unlikely, but if we can hold her off until we can evacuate the area and retreat, it'll be a successful mission." I say.
"Police are already evacuating the building." Dick taps at his holo-computer.
[We can ETA in fifteen minutes at the rendezvous point.] Kaldur says telepathically.
[Good. We'll be there.] Dick replies.
"Artemis! Get down here!" I yell, and she starts jumping from her snipe point.
Suddenly an impact hits me from behind. Shoot. I stumble slightly, but I turn around, and kick at Shiva. She blocks me with one hand, the grabs my leg and hurls me into Artemis.
Shiva reaches into her pocket and pulls out what looks like a glorified taser. Only this one has a huge skull on it. Not good. She shoots it and the wires hit Dick.
"Aargh!" He screams.
"Sorry ladies. Gotta fly." Shiva jumps out the window. I don't bother to plant a tracer. Dick's my main concern. My only concern. I run towards him.

"He's not breathing!" I yell, and begin pumping his chest. "5,6,7,8,9" I press my mouth to his, but his lungs and heart are motionless.
I try mouth to mouth for ten minutes, nothing. Finally I drop my arms. "He's gone." I whisper. "He's...really...really gone." I hug his body.
"Geh...*cough cough* Batgirl?" Dick wheezes. I throw him to the floor, which probably isn't the best idea.
"Don't scare me like that!" I yell, then I start laughing throw my tears. I prop his body against mine and he keeps his arms around me.

"Should we...like, stop them?" I hear Wally ask.
"I believe they have earned this." Kaldur says.
