Super Batgirl
By Gribble, Gribble77@hotmail.com


Batgirl:	This is so boring! If Alfred hadn't taken a vacation, he'd
		be stuck watching the news instead of me.

Feeling frustrated Batgirl turns the volume down on the television. She sits
in the now quiet batcave for a few moments and almost jumps when Batman's
voice comes over the communication equipment. 

Batman:		Are there any reports of crime on the news?

Batgirl:	Huh... oh... uh... No, nothing.

Robin:		That's a relief. Looks like we can call it an early night.

Batman:		That is a relief, especially after what we just faced.

Batgirl:	What happened?

Robin:		We went up against Bane again.

Batgirl:	BANE! Are you two ok?

Batman:		We're fine. A little sore but otherwise fine. Robin can tell
		you all about it later. We just dropped Bane off at Arkham, 
		we'll be there in a few minutes. Batman out.

Batgirl stares off into the lonely cave and shivers at the thought of facing
Bane. 

Batgirl:	I'm almost glad I didn't go with them tonight. I hope... Hey
		what's this?

Batgirl quickly turns up the volume on the television.

Announcer:	...eet your favorite heroines at the first annual Greatest
		Super Heroine contest. Come see amazing feats of strength by
		such legends as Supergirl, Powergirl and even Wonder Woman. 
		Marvel at the power of these and other heroines right here 
		in Gotham. Tickets are on sale now and remember all proceeds
		go to the Wayne Foundation for Abused Women. But you better
		act fast the contest starts tomorrow at noon in lovely
		Gotham Park. I'll see you there!

Announcer:	Do you suffer from back pain? Does it sometimes feel like
		someone has broken your...

Batgirl turns down the volume again and frowns.

Batgirl:	Greatest super heroine. I wasn't even asked to participate.
		How can they not even consider me? I may not have any super
		powers but I catch my share of criminals. Why if I had half
		the power of some of those so called super women I could...

Just then the secret entrance to the batcave opens and the batmobile drives
in. Batgirl watches as the car comes to a stop and the two people inside get
out.

Robin:		AHHH... it's good to be back. I don't know about you two but
		I plan on going straight to bed.

Batgirl watches as Batman takes something out of the batmobile and walks
over to the vault where he keeps confiscated equipment from criminals.

Batman:		I may do the same thing. Bane can really wear a person out.
		How about you Barbara? What are your plans for the rest of
		the night?

Batgirl:	Oh I don't know... maybe I'll work out a little, there's 
		that big contest tomorrow and... oh that's right I'm not in
		it!

Batman:		You heard about the contest. Look Barbara I wanted to ask
		you to participate but the promoters felt that only women
		with super powers should compete.

Robin:		Yeah, the contestants all have to have super strength just
		to get an invitation.

Batgirl:	So, in order to be a great heroine a woman needs to be able
		to bend steel?!? That's ridiculous!

Batman:		Look I'm sorry. It's just a meaningless contest to raise
		money for a good cause.

Robin:		Yeah, besides we all know who's the real greatest super
		heroine.

Batgirl:	I'm sorry you guys. I... I think I'm just... well never
		mind.

Batman:		Are you sure?

Batgirl:	Yes I'm sure. You two go on to bed I'll close up down here.

Robin:		Thanks. I don't think I can stay awake any longer.

Batman:		Be sure all the doors are locked, especially the vault. 

Batgirl:	I will. Good night.

Batgirl watches as the two men make there way to the secret door leading to
the mansion. Then when they are gone she quickly walks over to the vault and
opens it. She looks at all the things inside until she finally finds what
she is looking for.

Batgirl:	Here it is. Bane's equipment and some extra vials of Venom. 
		This stuff can be dangerous, but with a few modifications...

Quickly Batgirl walks over to the main computer and brings up some notes
from Batman's research on Venom. She reads the information very carefully.

Batgirl:	Hmmm... What are these links here... "Tar"... "Velocity 9"?
		They sound familiar... I think...

Batgirl walks back over to the still open vault and looks around some more.
Then she picks up two things and examines them closely.

Batgirl:	I knew I saw these earlier. I wonder what Tar and Velocity 9
		do? Looks like I need to do some more reading.

Batgirl spends the rest of the night reading, mixing, analyzing and testing.
After many hours she yawns loudly and then blinks a lot to make her eyes
stay focused. Finally she completes a last adjustment on her utility belt
and then falls asleep at a workbench.

A LITTLE BIT LATER...

Batgirl's eyes snap open and she quickly looks around. She glances at a
clock and stands up so fast she almost knocks the workbench over.

Batgirl:	It's 10:30, I don't have much time! Then again, maybe I 
		shouldn't go through with this. I really need to do some
		more testing. But just the thought of one of those other
		women being named Greatest Super heroine, makes me sick.
		Well I guess that settles that... I'll do it.

Batgirl looks around and sees the container of Venom-Tar-Velocity 9, then
she walks over to it and picks it up. 

Batgirl:	That's strange... this stuff wasn't glowing last night. 
		Maybe I should run a few more test... No... I'm just
		stalling. I'm going to do this.

She takes the container and walks over to her modified utility belt. She
places the glowing mixture into a pouch and connects some wires to the new
dial device on the front of her belt. Then she sticks one end of a small
tube into the mixture and the other end, which has a needle, into her skin
near her waist. Then she slowly puts her utility belt on.

Batgirl:	So far so good. Well here goes...

Slowly she reaches down for the dial on her belt and turns it one notch. A
second later a short gasp escapes her lips. Followed quickly by a smile as
she realizes her outfit seems tighter.

Batgirl:	I feel so good! So alive!

Batgirl rushes over to some exercise equipment and checks the amount of
weight.

Batgirl:	Hmm... four hundred pounds, looks like Bruce was doing bench
		presses. I wonder...

The small woman grabs the weight bar with one hand and pulls as hard as she
can. The weight just stays in place. She then grabs it with both hands and
pulls. This time the bar moves slightly.

Batgirl:	Almost had it... another notch should do the trick.

Batgirl turns the dial up one more notch and this time lets out a small
moan. Her tight outfit begins to creak as her muscles expand with power.

Batgirl:	Oh my... Now I really feel good!

The still petite woman grabs the bar with both hands again and with a sudden
jerk, she raises the four hundred pound weight over her head. She quickly
lowers it and begins to curl it. After thirty reps she sets the bar back in
place.

Batgirl:	WOW! I'm not even tired. I feel like I could do that all
		day. I wonder...

The now excited woman grabs the bar with one hand and with a bit of effort
manages to lift the bar slightly. 

Batgirl:	Just a little more.

Once again she turns the dial up one notch and her outfit protests even more
loudly, but it still manages to stay in one piece. She grabs the heavy
weight with one hand and lifts it so easily she almost throws it through the
cave ceiling. She then begins to do one arm curls with it.

Batgirl:	I... I never imagined! So much strength! I can't wait to 
		show those other heroines... Oh I better get going!

Batgirl sets the heavy weight down, then walks over to her mask and puts it
on. Then she turns towards the various bat vehicles.

Batgirl:	Which one should I take... On second thought, I feel so good
		I think I'll jog. It's only eight miles away. 

Batgirl walks over to the exit that leads to the outside. She opens the
door, looks back one last time then begins jogging. The door closes 
automatically and quickly but Batgirl doesn't notice she is already a fourth
of a mile away before it closes completely.

ABOUT EIGHT MINUTES LATER...

Just outside a rarely used entrance to Gotham Park, Batgirl stops her eight
mile run. She looks at a nearby clock and begins to laugh.

Batgirl:	HAHAHA. Eight minutes! Eight miles in eight minutes! The
		best part is I'm not even tired. Oh this VTV-9 is great
		stuff!

Suddenly Batgirl hears something behind her and she quickly turns around.

Power Girl:	Hello... you're Batgirl aren't you? Are you here to be a
		judge?

Batgirl:	NO, I AM NOT! I... I mean I'm here to compete.

Power Girl:	YOU!?! Hehehe, that's a good one. HAHAHA. Oh that makes my
		day.

Batgirl:	I'm NOT kidding!

Power Girl:	But you don't have any super powers.

Batgirl:	Yes, I do.

Power Girl:	Really?!? Like what for instance?

Batgirl:	I'm super strong and fast.

Power Girl:	Is that all. Well I guess that's good enough... Now if
		you'll excuse me I have to go get ready.

Before Batgirl can say anything Power Girl flies away so fast she creates a
sonic boom. 

Batgirl:	Why that stuck up bitch! I'll show her! I... I need to calm
		down. I better go tell the promoters I'm here.

Walking at a normal speed Batgirl heads off in the direction Power Girl
flew. A couple of minutes later she comes to a small building and enters it.
She sees an important looking man talking to some people and approaches
them.

Batgirl:	Hello, I'm Batgirl. I'm here to compete.

Promoter:	Um... I think there's been a mistake. The contest is for
		women with super powers. Specifically super strength.

Batgirl:	But I'm super strong... watch.

Batgirl walks over to a small couch and picks it up with ease. She does a
few over the head presses than puts it back down.

Batgirl:	See, and I'm not even tired.

Promoter:	Well... Uh we were not aware that you qualified. The judges
		will have to decide...

Batgirl:	Screw the judges! I'm going to compete! And if you have a 
		prob... OH MY! Excuse me. I don't know what came over me.

Promoter:	Th...That's ok... REALLY! Uh... you can compete. I'll uh...
		clear it with the judges. If you'll excuse me.

Batgirl watches as the man rushes outside without saying anything else. The
people he was talking with quickly walk away also.

Batgirl:	What was that all about? I couldn't help myself... Oh well 
		I'm fine now. I think I'll take a look around. Maybe check
		out the competition.

Batgirl walks around and spots quite a few familiar faces, including an old
friend.

Batgirl:	Hey Mary, how's it going?

Mary Marvel:	Oh, hi Batgirl. I didn't know you were going to be here. Are
		you one of the judges?

Batgirl:	WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERYONE KEEP ASKING THAT!

Mary Marvel:	HOLY MOLY! I'm sorry Batgirl. I...

Batgirl:	You're going to be sorry bitch! I'm going to beat you
		senseless and then... WAIT... what's wrong with me?!? I'm so
		confused.

Mary Marvel:	Is everything ok? Is there any way I can help you?

Batgirl:	HELP ME!?! I don't need your help! I don't need anyones...
		No... go away... NOW!

Mary Marvel looks at her friend with confusion and then slowly walks away.
Just as Mary walks out of sight the promoter comes up to Batgirl.

Promoter:	Ok, I've cleared everything with the judges. You'll go on
		after Power Girl. Th... That's ok isn't it?

Batgirl:	FINE! Whatever! Now get out of my way before I throw you to
		Metropolis.

Promoter:	Cer... certainly. Anything you say.

The promoter quickly steps aside and watches as Batgirl storms toward the
stage. 

A LITTLE LATER...

Announcer:	Before we get started, I would like to explain that although
		this looks like an ordinary barbell with only a few hundred
		pounds on it. It is in fact an incredibly dense magnet.
		Below this stage is a powerful electromagnet which we will
		use to increase the weight of the barbell as the contest
		goes on. It's currently set for a mere ten thousand pounds
		and would take about fifty men to lift. However, I think our
		contestants will have no difficulty in lifting it all by
		themselves.

The crowd cheers wildly for a few moments and then the announcer continues.

Announcer:	OK first up is Power Girl.

The crowd cheers again and Power Girl comes out and stands in front of the
barbell. She waves to the crowd and then bends over and picks up the heavy
weight with ease. She lets go with one hand and waves to the audience with
her free hand. Then she sets the weight back down gently and walks off the
stage.

Announcer:	I don't know about you folks, but I'm simply amazed at the
		strength of these contestants. Let's hear it for Power Girl.

The crowd claps and cheers until finally the announcer looks like he is
going to introduce the next contestant.

Announcer:	Ok, our next contestant is a late entry and I'm sure will be
		a surprise to you all. Give a round of applause to Gotham's
		very own Batgirl!

This time the crowd doesn't clap but instead begins to murmur. Batgirl walks
out on to the stage and finally the crowd begins to clap politely. Batgirl
notices their less than enthusiastic response and glares at them.

(Batgirl):	Ingrates, I'll show them!

Batgirl walks over to the barbell and grabs the weight with one hand. Then
with a smile, she pulls on the heavy object. The weight stays firmly on the
stage and someone in the audience chuckles. Batgirl then grabs the weight
with both hands and with furious rage attempts to lift it. Still it remains
unmoved and now the entire audience begins to laugh.

Batgirl:	STOP IT! Stop Laughing!

The crowd continues to laugh and the other contestants come on stage. 
Supergirl and Wonder Woman walk over to Batgirl.

Supergirl:	Look Batgirl, don't pay any attention to...

Batgirl:	Shut up! All of you! I can lift this... all I need to do
		is...
Batgirl grabs the dial on her belt and turns it up seven more notches, which
is all the further it will go.

Wonder Woman:	Batgirl, please...

Before Wonder Woman can finish her sentence Batgirl throws her head back and
moans with ecstasy. Then her entire body begins to tremble, suddenly her
costume begins to rip and tear all over. Batgirl flexes an arm and a huge
bicep shreds her sleeve. She laughs, then looks down at her legs as her
growing muscles tear open her pants. She then begins rubbing her breasts and
they soon join in the destruction of her outfit. As her body begins to fill
out with bulging muscle, Batgirl also begins to gain height. Soon she is
looking down on the six foot six inch Wonder Woman. Finally at about seven 
feet and two inches, she stops growing. The only thing she has on is her
utility belt.

Wonder Woman:	Great Hera!

Mary Marvel:	Holy Moly!

Supergirl:	Bat... Batgirl... are you alright...

Batgirl flexes her huge muscles and smiles.

Batgirl:	I'm better than alright, I'm invincible!

The crowd watches in stunned silence as Batgirl picks up the barbell with
ease.

Batgirl:	Increase the weight! ALL THE WAY!

Announcer:	But that's ten million pounds...

Batgirl:	DO IT, NOW!

The other heroines, unsure what to do just watch as slowly the barbell
begins to sag at the ends. Further and further the ends stretch toward the
floor. Batgirl just smiles manically as she effortlessly holds the weight
over her head. Soon the ends of the barbell stop getting closer to the
ground.

Batgirl:	MORE! Turn it up! 

Announcer:	That's as far as it will go!

Batgirl laughs loudly and then begins doing one arm curls with the sagging
barbell. She quickly becomes bored and with amazing ease tosses the heavy
weight straight up. It doesn't come back down.

Mary Marvel:	HOLY MOLY!

Batgirl:	OH SHUT THE FUCK UP! If I hear you say that one more time...

Power Girl:	Hey, leave her alone. 

Batgirl:	EXCUSE ME! Did you just say something powerless girl? I 
		don't recall ordering you to speak!

Batgirl strides over to stand in front of and look down on Power Girl.

Power Girl:	Look I don't know what's going on here, but no one orders
		me...

Batgirl grabs Power Girl by the front of her costume and hoists her off the
ground. Then with her free hand she flicks Power Girl with one finger. She
goes flying across the stage and through a few walls and finally slams into
a tree. The huge tree snaps and falls on top of Power Girl and after a few
moments it becomes clear she isn't going to get back up any time soon. The
audience panics and start running for their lives.

Batgirl:	HAHAHAHAHA! Who's next! Wonder wimp or maybe the world's
		wimpiest girl? I know, I'll take you all on at the same
		time! Come on let's see how strong you bitches are! HAHA!!

Batgirl begins flexing her muscles again, then takes a step toward
Supergirl, who takes a step back and falls off the stage.

Batgirl:	What's wrong, not feeling super? HAHAHA!

Wonder Woman:	Mary, Supergirl follow me.

Batgirl watches as Wonder Woman flies up into the air and is quickly joined
by Supergirl and Mary Marvel.

Batgirl:	RUN! Run away! HAHA!

When the three heroines are out of hearing range they stop and float in the
air.

Mary Marvel:	What are we going to do?

Supergirl:	Yeah, Batgirl is crazy! Not to mention stronger than us.

Wonder Woman:	I think her strength is driving her insane. We have to
		return her to normal.

Supergirl:	How?

Mary Marvel:	I think that dial on her belt has something to do with it.

Wonder Woman:	I agree. We'll have to get her belt off. Mary and I will try
		to restrain her while you take off her belt.

Supergirl:	Ok, just be sure you hold her good.

Wonder Woman:	We'll do our best. I think we should all use our super
		speed, with a little luck this will all be over in a second. 
		Let's get back down there and get ready.

The three heroines fly back down to the stage.  They quickly spot Batgirl,
she has her back to them and is joyfully uprooting trees and throwing them.
The audience is nowhere in sight. 

Wonder Woman:	Are you two ready?

Both women nod their heads yes.

Wonder Woman:	NOW!

In less than a second Wonder Woman and Mary Marvel are behind Batgirl. They
both grab an arm and force her to turn around. Supergirl hesitates for a
fraction of a second, then moves to remove the utility belt from Batgirl.
Quickly recovering from the surprise attack, Batgirl frees her arms from the
comparatively weak grip of the two women. Then with blinding speed manages
to catch Supergirl in mid grab. She throws Supergirl to the ground, causing
a slight tremor. Before Mary Marvel and Wonder Woman can act Batgirl whirls
to face them and faster than either of them thought possible, Batgirl grabs
them by their throats and lifts them off the ground.

Batgirl:	Fools! I'm faster than light itself now!

Mary Marvel:	Pl... {Uggckh} Please Bat... {Arhhg} girl you're hurting...

Batgirl:	Ahhh, is my strength to much for you? The two of you are 
		probably the strongest women on earth, and you're nothing to
		me. ME! Super Batgirl! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Suddenly the utility belt around Batgirls waist snaps and begins floating
through the air. Immediately Batgirl begins to feel herself shrinking back
to normal size. She drops the two super heroines and turns to see her belt
land in Supergirl's hand.

Supergirl:	{cough} Telekinesis {Agghhh} never leave home without it. 

Supergirl smiles, Batgirl roars. Though losing power quickly, Batgirl
tackles the maid of might and with a couple of punches breaks a few of her
ribs. Supergirl screams in pain as the slowly shrinking Batgirl continues to
pound on her. Suddenly the beating stops and Supergirl looks up to see
Wonder Woman and Mary Marvel once again holding Batgirl. This time with a
great deal more of success. She has stopped shrinking but is still larger
than her original size.

Batgirl:	I'LL KILL YOU! I'll kill you all!

Practically snarling and jerking violently Batgirl tries to free herself.

Wonder Woman:	Batgirl, please stop struggling. You'll only hurt yourself.

Batgirl:	Shove it up your ass, bitch! When I get loose, I'm gonna...
		I... I feel strange...

Suddenly a strange glow surrounds Batgirl, she stops fighting to free
herself and after a few seconds begins to laugh. The reason for her laughter
soon becomes obvious, Batgirl is once again growing. As her muscles start to
expand, Mary Marvel and Wonder Woman tighten their grips. Supergirl begins
shaking in fear and despite her injuries, starts to crawl away. The two
women holding Batgirl feel her body getting larger and larger in their
grasp, but are unsure what to do. Shortly before Batgirl reaches her former
super size, she wrenches free from the two women. Wonder Woman begins
backing away, but Mary is paralyzed with fear. Batgirl, now even larger than
before and still growing, grabs Mary and throws her at Wonder Woman. Both
women fall to the ground in a heap. Batgirl turns her attention back to
Supergirl, who looks up at the ever increasing form of Batgirl.

Batgirl:	Well, well, well. What do you know? It seems the sudden lose
		of the chemicals has caused my body to begin making them
		itself. I really should thank you.

Batgirl reaches down and picks up the severely injured Supergirl. Then with
the utmost ease, she snaps her neck and tosses the dead body to the other
side of Gotham.

Batgirl:	Thank you. He he hehahahaha!

Batgirl raises a still growing arm and flexes it, the glow around her
brightens and her growth quickens. Suddenly she feels something pull her
arms to her body. She looks down and sees Wonder Woman's golden lasso around
her upper body. She turns and sees both Mary Marvel and Wonder Woman holding
the other end.

Batgirl:	Do you two whores really thing this toy can hold me?

Wonder Woman:	My lasso was a gift from the gods. Nothing can break it.

Batgirl just laughs and flexes every muscle in her body. The strange glow
around her becomes unbelievably bright and she begins growing at an
incredible speed. The lasso seems to creak and the ground begins to shake.
Then there is an incredible explosion and Batgirl is free.

Batgirl:	HAHAHAHAHA! I AM POWER!!!

The still growing Batgirl begins walking toward the two stunned women, but
then stops and looks up. She does so just in time to see a barbell crash
into her head. Then she sees only blackness.

?????:		Batgirl... Batgirl wake up.

Batgirl snaps her eyes open and looks around in confusion.

Batgirl:	What!?! Where am I?

Batman:		You're in the Batcave.

Batgirl looks around and see the familiar sights. Then looks down and sees
her normal body.

Batgirl:	What happened to my body?!

Robin:		What do you mean... Did you hurt yourself while you were
		dreaming?

Batgirl:	DREAMING!?!

Robin:		Yeah, you must have dosed off right after we talked to you.

Batman:		Are you ok? You don't quite seem yourself.

Batgirl:	Uh... yeah I'm fine. Um... did you guys go up against Bane
		tonight.

Robin:		Yeah don't you remember? We called you right after we
		dropped him off with the police.

Batgirl:	I... I remember. I was just checking.

Batman:		Look Barbara why don't you go upstairs and get some sleep?
		Don't forget you have to be at Gotham Park early tomorrow to
		help judge that Greatest Super Heroine contest.

Batgirl:	Actually, I'm not really tired now. You two go on up I'll
		lock up down here.

Robin:		Ok, but once I get up there I'm heading straight for bed.

Batman:		I'm exhausted too. I'll see you tomorrow. Be sure the vault
		is locked before you leave.

Batgirl watches as the two men go upstairs to the mansion. Then she walks
over to the vault and takes out three small containers. She holds them up
and examines them closely.

Batgirl:	Hmmm, I wonder...

THE END
