OP chapter 9

Batgirl (requested by TheRonin) -

Scene 1 -

"This is so weird," Harry mumbled to himself as he walked through the forest with someone who was either THE Batgirl or a very, very dedicated cosplayer. She was wearing a skin-tight black suit with a yellow bat symbol on the chest. Her costume was more or less an exact copy of her look in the Arkham Knight DLC.

"I hear that," She said in agreement, her mask still on. "So, let's say I buy into this whole comic book come to life thing. Do you have any evidence to prove it's true?"

"Batman's name is Bruce Wayne, the first Robin is Dick Grayson, and they're assisted in their missions by Alfred Pennyworth. Your real name is Barbara Gordon, am I in the ballpark?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her. A long silence occurred before she recovered enough to speak.

"Okay, so it's not totally out of the realm of reality." She frowned. "What do you know about me?"

"First of all, do you have a brother?" Harry asked seriously.

"Umm...no,"

"Be grateful," He told her. "Anyway, as I said, your name is Barbara. In most iterations, your father is Commissioner Gordon of the GCPD. He works with Batman, and you decide to become Batgirl and discover his identity. In a lot of worlds, Joker surprises you with one of his ideas to play with Batman, and you end up paralysed, the bottom half of you anyway. So then you work behind the scenes as tech support and take the name 'Oracle'."

"Oracle," She repeated. "I like it."

"Same," Harry shrugged. "Anyway, you're basically an all-around badass. Skilled fighter plus genius intellect and ridiculous hacking skills make a competent superhero."

"Thanks," She smiled at him. "And what about you? How do you fit into all of this?"

"Oh, well, I suppose I..."

"Look out!" She shouted suddenly, tackling him to the ground just in time to avoid getting his head taken off. The end result was her lying on top of him as he did his best not to look like a confused owl.

"Uh...hi," He said in a slightly confused voice before looking around and spotting just what exactly had tried to kill him. He froze when he realised just what exactly he was seeing. Standing there in a red and black body suit combined with a large trent coat was a man with a short beard and long blonde hair that extended to his lower back. He was packed with muscle, and his nails were far longer and sharper than any normal man's would be. "Crap, Sabertooth," Harry realised.

"You know this guy?" She asked, getting him up and helping him do the same.

"Think crazed tiger in human form," He told her. "Strong, fast, sharp claws and insane regenerative capabilities. Advised action is getting the fuck out of here."

"You kids lost?" Sabertooth snarled as he stepped forward. "This is a forbidden area."

"Your face is forbidden!" Harry snapped back. Barbara and Sabertooth both gave him odd looks. "That...yeah, that was the best one I had," He said apologetically.

"I'm going to rip your heads off now," Sabertooh declared before charging forward.

"Go!" Barbara told him before throwing an explosive Batarang at him and running forward to fight him.

"She's good," Harry thought out loud as he watched the two fight. "But she won't be able to hold him off forever," He looked down at the ommnitrix attached to his wrist, it was designed exactly like Alien Force watch, his favourite of all the designs. He gingerly touched a button, and a green hologram appeared. "Yeah, this'll work," He said hopefully before pressing down on the watch. A bright green flash later and Harry had transformed.

He was now taller than before and had taken the form of a humanoid, plant-like alien with a red flame-patterned head and root-like feet. His eyes were oval-shaped with points at each end, with pupils that copied the same shape. Also, his shoulders and head had red petals and his elbows and legs had green frills sticking out.

"Whoa," Batgirl blinked, currently on top of a tree, she looked down at Sabertooth, who was on the floor, staring at Harry in shock.

"Well, tradition calls for it. Swampfire!" Harry - now Swampfire - yelled.

Scene 2

"So, what do you have for me?" Barbara asked as she walked into the lab, wearing a skirt, shirt and blazer. She looked at Harry, who had been sitting on his chair, playing on his phone.

"How was the meeting?" Harry asked, putting his phone away and getting up.

"Do not ask," She said with a deep sigh as she stopped in front of him. "All I'm going to say is that Tony is not paying me half as much as he should be."

"Cheapskate," Harry snorted before gesturing for her to follow him to a lab table. "So, the first alien-made present I have for you is this," He said, handing her a pair of contact lenses. "I had your detective vision repaired; it's better than ever. These lenses are also colour-changing, and I can track them in case you're ever kidnapped...again."

"That was one time," She said defensively.

"Anyway, I also got you a new gauntlet," He said, holding it up for her. "Holo-computer inside, obviously,"

"Obviously," She repeated in an amused voice.

"There's also a bit of weaponry in there. I sent the instructions to your Email. But here's the big one," He grinned as he gestured for her to look at a female mannequin which had a single necklace around it with a golden bat pendant.

"You got me a necklace?" She asked.

"Not just a necklace," Harry told her with a happy smile. "I had some time to talk with the Wakandans, and Shuri showed me a bit of their tech and helped me create this. It's basically an exact copy of the necklace King Ta-Challa uses. Now, watch this." He said as he activated the necklace. A moment later, the necklace activated and the mannequin was dressed from head to toe in a Batgirl suit. "Ta-da!" Harry gestured to it. "One vibranium bat-suit, just for you." He said, stepping back.

"Whoa!" She gasped as she walked up to it, putting her hand on it to feel it. "You are so getting lucky tonight!" She said absently, not noticing his grin get bigger.
