[indent][b][i][color=darkorchid]Jokerz? Why'd it have to be Jokerz?[/color][/i][/b]

Stephanie Brown could have sworn she had left Gotham behind by coming to Happy Harbour. The air here didn't reek of pollution, the atmosphere was darkened by smog from ancient coal factors and the ambiance wasn't set by leaking steam pipes beneath the city's aged cobblestone sidewalks. No, this was a tourist town, sun, surf, and sand.

[b][i][color=darkorchid]So why the [u]hell[/u] are there Jokerz here?[/color][/i][/b]

Springing into action, the current Batgirl moved quickly to help Hellfire, one of the Bat's other protégés, the one that he actually liked that was. Last Steph remembered Andy wasn't the one to plunge Gotham into an all-out gang war. Still, at least Barbara had seen potential in her, enough to give her the honor of bearing her old mantle.

[b][color=darkorchid]"If the boy's scared for his first time, chances are you're doing it wrong, girlfriend."[/color][/b] Steph chimed in as she pulled a pair of batarangs from her belt's pouch. Taking the two weapons, she seemingly broke them in half before mixing the two halves together to create two new batarangs. Babs had made some significant upgrades to the Dark Knight's original designs, Steph's batarangs came in a large variety of effects and Babs had figured out how to allow her to mix and match the effects for a certain degree of unpredictability.

[b][color=darkorchid]"Also, what's up with there being like 'brunch' but no 'brupper'?"[/color][/b] She asked making general chatter as she threw the weapons. The first DeeDee managed to cartwheel out of the way but she caught the second as an electrical charge exploded from one half of the batarang, paralyzing DeeDee in place while a slime erupted from the other half to ensure she remained adhered to the spot.

[b][color=darkorchid]"Like, you guys have no idea how badly I could go for a waffle after this. Can we hit up IHOP or something in about ten when we finish taking out the trash?"[/color][/b]

The other DeeDee came in for a swing as Steph reached for her staff, spinning the weapon around in the nick of time to deflect DeeDee's hand away. She was however not expecting the boot to the back of the head as DeeDee cartwheeled past before stopping on her hands to deliver a spinning kick.

[B]"Seriously y'all, is this the Bat can offer? Ain't no one afraid of you honey."[/B] DeeDee taunted as Steph regained her footing. [B]"You weigh, what? A hundred pounds soaking wet?"[/B]

[b][color=darkorchid]"That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me"[/color][/b] Steph said, her smile evident beneath the cowl as she drew a fist back before releasing it at DeeDee's face. The impact felt good, even better considering the new shock absorption in her gauntlet. No more black and blue knuckles to hide from her mother. Stephanie allowed a triumphant smile to spread across her face as the DeeDee hit the ground. The smile only began to fade when Stephanie realized she had inadvertently sent the girl back towards her twin. The slimed DeeDee wiggled a loose hand as the other DeeDee reached out for it, taking a hold as Stephanie simply spoke a single word.

[b][color=darkorchid]"Crud"[/color][/b]

What had once been two clown girls in what had to be uncomfortable leather 'Daisy Dukes' was now four.

[B]"Awe thanks, Batgirl."[/B] The first duplicate said as she took a few steps forward.

[B]"Yeah, now it's a party."[/B] A second duplicate stepped forward, a smile spreading from cheek to cheek. 

[B]"You know what they say?"[/B] An original asked, her tone rhetorical as she began to break free of Batgirl's adhesive.

[B]"The more..."[/B] The last finally spoke as the four assembled into an attack position.

[B]"The merrier."[/B] The identical girls said in an eerie unison as they descended upon the girl.[/indent]
