The hour was late and it was a long exhausting climb, up four flights of stairs for the young woman with flaming red tresses as she struggled with two heavy suitcases. The elevator in her building was once again out of order. The broken elevator was just one more frustration that Barbara "The Boot"Gordon was forced to deal with as she finally returned home to Gotham City. Babs Gordon had left two years ago to serve a term as a Congresswoman in Washington D.C. It was a dream come true as Barbara vowed to make a difference for her constituents in the halls of power. Now after one term the dream was over as the young legislator from Gotham City was soundly defeated in her reelection campaign.

The weariness of the climb to her apartment matched her mental outlook. The election loss really hurt and badly sapped her self- confidence. Barbara however accepted the will of the people and was now determined to move on with her life. As she finally arrived at her old apartment Babs quickly opened the door and stepped inside.

Everything was just as she left it two long years ago. During her stay in Washington Barbara had stayed in an apartment owned by her good friend Billionaire Bruce Wayne. The use of a rent-free apartment seemed somewhat unethical but Barbara wasn't rich and wanted to keep her old flat in Gotham city.

As Babs walked around the place memories of her life before going to Congress came flooding back. Oh how she longed to return to her old job at Gotham City's main library and resume her seemingly sedate lifestyle. Barbara knew however that regaining her old job as well as her former lifestyle was impossible. Tomorrow she had an interview at the Humanities Research and Development Center, which was the most prestigious think tank in Gotham City. The tall red haired beauty looked forward to new challenges. On seeing that everything was in order the lovely former librarian steeped quickly into her bedroom and depressed a hidden switch on her vanity. The back wall of the room began to rotate revealing the secret lair of Barbara Gordon's alter –ego " Batgirl " This room was also just as Babs left it filled with Batgirl costumes and accoutrements as well as crime fighting equipment. For several years Batgirl had ventured forth from her well-hidden abode to battle the criminals of Gotham City.

During her stay in Washington Barbara had not regularly utilized the crime fighting capabilities of the Dominoed Dare Doll. She saw her purpose in the nation's capital as a legislator and not as a crime fighter. For this reason Batgirl was rarely seen on the streets of Washington but the caped crime fighter usually managed an appearance whenever Congresswoman Gordon conducted business outside of the nation's capital.

With her return to Gotham City Barbara eagerly anticipated resuming her nightly crime fighting patrols as Batgirl. Before this could happen several changes were needed. In order to employ the latest crime fighting technology Barbara required several rather expensive items. Fortunately during her term Babs had managed to save a sizable amount of money with which to purchase needed gear. The former librarian now planned to expand her activities. New computer equipment would permit her to focus on high tech crime as well as street crime. Barbara had also decided that her Batgirl costume was in serious need of a make over. While in Washington she had found a marvelous spandex and Kevlar fabric, which would be used to make a completely new costume. The new outfit would make the sight of Batgirl totally breathtaking.

The final change was in herself. Two years ago a young idealistic girl went to serve in Congress. A passionate believer in the righteousness her cause Barbara soon realized that besides being rather emotional she was also incredible naïve. The one term provided an incredible education on the realm of the possible. No matter how much she detested the wheeling and dealing of politics in Washington Barbara became quite adept in the art of the deal. The young girl filled with emotion and naiveté was gone and in her place now stood a calm and composed woman who knew when to hold them and when to fold them.

The following Sunday evening finds Barbara Gordon brimming with excitement for two reasons. First off tomorrow she begins her new job at the Human Research and Development Center. In recognition of her congressional experience Babs has been selected as the head of the Social Services section. While her tour in Congress ended on a sour note Barbara was heartened by the fact that the experience has led to a top executive position with an excellent salary.

Of even more importance to the former librarian was the completion of her new Batgirl costume, which she would now wear for the first time. Barbara had spent the past week totally reworking the costume of the Caped Crusadress. Her old costume had consisted of a black or grey spandex unitard, a blue satin cowl which covered her head and neck, a long cape also of blue satin, yellow satin elbow length gloves and knee high yellow patent boots. While the costume was very attractive and eye catching Barbara felt it did not make the most of her feminine assets. She wanted something much more appealing.

One day while shopping in the Capital Barbara came across an amazing fabric. When she picked up the purple colored material and held it up to light it began to instantly shimmer and shine. The reason was due to the fine silver thread woven into the fabric. Instantly recognizing the possibilities of the protective material Babs bought every yard of the fabric that the store had. Barbara had sewn a full day and created a new purple unitard complete with a gold Bat logo emblazoned across her chest.

With the new Bat Suit finished Babs quickly realized the rest of her old costume would have too be scrapped. The first major task was to rework her cowl. Babs had always found her full cowl hot, heavy and confining. She also found the eye slits too narrow and the pointed cheek pieces always left marks on her face raising the possibility that someone might make the connection between Batgirl and Barbara Gordon. Babs totally redid her cowl. She started with a lighter half cowl of purple satin, which only covered from the top of her head to an inch below her ears leaving the neck exposed. She widened and lengthened the eyeholes while rounding the cheek pieces to eliminate the tell tale marks and then sewed on the black felt Bat ears.

The next item was the cape. The old blue cape was long, square cut and always caught on something. Barbara found some really lustrous satin, which she fashioned into a short scalloped cape that ended just below the knee fulfilling the task of covering her delicious derriere. The cape was naturally purple but it had a lining of shimmering gold satin. The final task was to create new Bat Gloves and Bat Boots. The old gloves and boots were a bright yellow, which Barbara felt were much too noticeable. She decided her new gloves and boots would also be purple to sustain the camouflage of the new costume. New gloves were easily fashioned out of the remaining purple satin however the boots presented problems. The old boots were knee high with a large heel. While they were comfortable Babs felt it took to much time to take them on and off. She felt a shorter ankle boot with a half heel would work better and better highlight her very shapely legs. A trip to her boot maker produced a dazzling pair of purple boots, which appeared to be made of patent leather.

The time had now come for Barbara to don the new costume for the first time. She retreated to her hidden room and removed her bathrobe. Wearing a bra and thong of purple satin Babs picked up the body suit and stepped into the legs and arms before pulling up the back zipper. The suit was incredibly snug but felt marvelous as it tightly hugged every curve of her perfectly conditioned body.

Next came the boots, that felt rather tight but Babs loved the look of the shiny new Bat Boots. Taking a brush Barbara then stroked her long red tresses before donning the gleaming satin cowl. It was held in place by a strap, which fastened across the back of her neck. The cowled cutie now shipped on her Bat Gloves and then fastened the shimmering Bat Cape to her neck and shoulders. The finale item of the ensemble was the golden utility belt, which was buckled around her shapely hips. It too had been updated with two new compartments.

The masked maid now stepped in front of a full -length mirror to judge the outcome of her efforts. She could not believe the image before her eyes. The goal had been to totally redefine the Batgirl image from that of a young girl to a sultry seductive woman. Barbara had succeeded beyond her wildest dreams. The snug fitting Bat Suit looked like it had been painted on. Light reflected off the silver threads of the unitard giving the impression of a shimmering figure in purple. Batgirl turned slowly still evaluating the image and was thrilled to see a glistening form as more light danced from her cowl, cape, gloves and boots. She felt that she was beyond hot and that a real man would have to be dead not to be completely awed by the new costume. Perhaps her secret flame Batman would now finally take notice of her.

Batgirl's prediction of the effect of the new costume on men was not off the mark. The next evening she resumed crime patrols on her Batgirl cycle. Whenever the Bat Beauty happened on a male they suddenly hesitated and then fell into a stunned silence. How was it possible for the daring damsel to be so completely gorgeous and totally alluring? The shimmering seductress in purple was truly a sight to behold.

Batgirl easily apprehended four muggers, two rapists and one burglar that evening. One rather vicious mugger held his victim at knife- point and refused to surrender until Batgirl agreed to ride to jail with him. During the entire trip to the lock up the hardened crook did not take his eyes off of the temptress with the fiery red hair. The newspapers trumpeted the return Caped Crusadress and her sizzling new costume.

While Batgirl resumed her crime patrols across town a young man was preparing to enter the world of crime. Lance Morgan a successful twenty-five year old investment banker was about to leave his posh Eastside loft to embark on a new career as a burglar and thief. The young man was dressed in a tight fitting black leather shirt and equally tight fitting black leather jeans. He had chosen to dress in leather for its protective quality and its camouflage at night. Short ankle boots, gloves and a wool balaclava completed his ensemble.

Lance's first target as a thief was a small mom and pop jewelry store on the lower eastside of the city. The shop had been selected as Lance had serviced the alarm system there while working for his uncle's security company. The leather- clad thief had learned to pick locks, open safes and disable alarm systems during his college days. The young man did not expect a large amount of loot from the undertaking but felt it was a good starting point for future crimes that he was planning.

Now one might reasonably ask why a successful banker risked his entire career by turning to crime? Why indeed! You see Lance Morgan, distant relation to Wall Street mogul John Pierpont Morgan, was not an ordinary criminal. He was an elite member of Gotham City Society. As a member of the upper class Lance demands the best life has to offer: Godiva Chocolate, Beluga Caviar and Dom Perignon Champaign.

Ordinarily Lance has the monetary means to support an extravagant life style. Lately however, he has suffered some costly business reverses. Extremely short of cash Lance has fallen prey to loan sharks that lend money at ruinous interest rates. He could have swindled a few investors to make up the difference but the advent of computerized record keeping made the risk of getting caught much too great. Hence Lance's decent into the world of petty crime. Several hours' later Lance returns to his loft with several diamond necklaces and brooches worth perhaps fifty thousand. This was not bad for a first job unfortunately when, the merchandize is purchased by a fence the thief will receive less than half its estimated value. The pay off for the night's work will not reduce the large amount of money Lance owes but it will reduce the interest. Lance now regrets ever becoming involved with shylock's and wonders if he ever he will ever be free from them.

Lance quickly followed up his initial success with a series of thefts of small jewelers and jewelry wholesalers. The results were small but when the proceeds were combined the large principal owed to the loan sharks began to decrease. The young banker now felt he had some breathing room to plan for larger scale break inns. These would permit larger hauls and hopefully quickly pay off the money that was owned. Lance now set about to plan for his first big time score.

Unfortunately Lance Morgan's one- man crime wave had not gone unnoticed. Back in her lair the booted beauty Batgirl had recently noticed a string of burglaries in small jewelry stores in Gotham City. Using newly purchased computers and special trend detecting programs that she herself had written the curvaceous crime fighter had already detected a pattern to the crimes.

All of businesses that had been hit were small. The method of entry and the disabling the alarm system were always the same. The real clincher however was the fact that all of the jewelry merchants used the same security company. Lance Morgan would soon rue the day that he decided to knock over all the businesses he had once serviced as a security technician. He had been clever but unfortunately not clever enough. Batgirl easily hacked her way into the security firm's computer and obtained a list of all of their clients. With a list of potential victims in hand the dynamic damsel decided to let her unknown opponent have the next move and just monitor the situation. For the next week there were no break inns of jewelry stores. The reason was that Lance Morgan was meticulously planning the burglary of the Rosenfeld Gem Store a large diamond wholesaler. The young thief had recently visited the business to reacquaint himself with the floor plan.

He planned to revisit the establishment just before closing on the day of the job to disable the alarm system. While the Rosenfeld family attended Sabbath services Lance Morgan calmly broke into their store, opened the vault and walked away with over one hundred thousand dollars in uncut diamonds. The brazen theft definitely got the attention of the Bat Beauty especially since Rosenfeld's was on the security company's customer list.

Now angered by this latest break-in the caped crime fighter decided that the time had come to end this crime spree. With overall crime down in Gotham City Batgirl decided to start staking out the large jewelry stores on the pilfered list during her crime patrols. The cowled cutie felt confident that whoever perpetrated these crimes would soon strike again.

Lance Morgan had indeed planned his next job. His next target was The Diamond Mine a large discount jewelry store in the heart of the city. Again his very meticulous plan and advance reconnaissance had paid off handsomely with a large haul, which would reduce his debt by one half. Unfortunately the Dark Night Damsel had been across town parked next to another jewelry store. In the past this turn of events would have greatly frustrated the gloved goddess. However, her stint in Washington had given a much more patient outlook. The crooks would soon enough stumble into her stake out and the masked maid would have them.

The crime spree of Lance Morgan was destined to last no longer than one month. On a dark dreary Friday night he waited to strike the Feldman Company a large diamond wholesaler. Lance again used his standard tactic of visiting the establishment late in the afternoon and disabling the alarm system. Several hours later Lance would return to perform the break-in.

As the banker waited for darkness to fall Batgirl was preparing for her nightly crime patrol. The caped crime fighter dressed in her shimmering unitard, gloves, boots and utility belt stood in front of her vanity slowly brushing her gorgeous red tresses. Noticing the time Batgirl became anxious. She put down the brush, picked up the glistening purple cowl and pulled it down over her face. She then fastened the luscious purple and gold cape to her neck and shoulders.

Before exiting her lair Batgirl checked her sultry image in the full- length mirror and then hurried to the elevator containing the Batgirl cycle. While everything appeared to be in order the enchantress in her haste had just committed a serious blunder. The strap running under her thick mane of hair and which held her cowl in place was not fastened.

As Lance Morgan easily picked the lock on the back door of Feldman's and slipped inside he was unaware of two beautiful blue eyes diligently watching from the building across the street. High up on a ledge sat the Dominoed Dare Doll observing everything through her recently purchased night vision goggles. Batgirl marveled at the speed and precision of the lone burglar who so swiftly entered the building. From her post she followed the faint stab of light as it moved around the premises in search of plunder.

There was no sight or sound that emanated from the store declaring that a break-in was in progress. The Bat Beauty couldn't believe the sped of the leather- clad thief as he locked the rear door and left in less than five minutes after entering.

Ordinarily the cowled crime fighter would swoop down from her perch to apprehend a criminal red handed. Due to the number thefts committed by this obviously skilful thief Batgirl decided to follow the figure in black leather back to his lair in hopes of recovering some of the stolen property. While Lance quickly ran to his BMW motorcycle the Caped Crusadress launched her Bat Rope and then quickly descended to her Batgirlcycle parked around the corner. As Lance sped away in his silver Beemer the Goddess of Gotham City followed close behind.

Batgirl followed her quarry at a very discreet distance although the burglar had no reason to believe that someone was in pursuit of him. As the BMW reached the east side of town it began slow forcing the Bat Beauty to reduce the speed of her powerful Ninja cycle. After leaving the main drag the caped cutie journeyed down several side streets as she shadowed her prey. The chase came to an end at the rear of a large four- story building. The young thief unlocked the door to a large freight elevator, rolled his cycle in and then closed the door.

Placing her cycle in silent mode Batgirl rolled to a stop as she observed the perpetrator of the heist enter the building. After she concealed the Batgirl cycle in a nearby alley the masked maid monitored the area and quickly noted the lights coming on the top floor. Batgirl silently circled around the building in order to have a look at the front entrance. A look at the registry revealed several companies listed on the first three floors and the name "Lance Morgan Esquire "listed on the fourth. The bold beauty smiled as her very skilful thief now at last had a name.

Following the military maxim that one should always enter a building from the top Batgirl removed a Bat rang with rope attached from her utility belt. Cocking her arm the daring damsel flung the Bat rang towards the roof. The bat shaped missile imbedded itself allowing the enchantress to quickly climb the distance to the top. Once on the rooftop Batgirl looked with great interest through the several skylights to the loft below. It was decorated, as were most loft type apartments with lots free- standing partitions and very sparse furnishings. Not seeing her quarry the booted beauty decided to enter the loft using the most remote skylight. After silently opening her point of entry and tying off her rope Batgirl noiselessly slid down the line to floor below.

Lance Morgan meanwhile was engaged in carefully evaluating the booty from tonight's heist. After laying out all of the diamond brooches, necklaces and rings on the dining table he minutely examined each piece to determine its value. The young man was completely oblivious to the feminine form that approached from behind. As he jotted down numbers a female voice observed,

"That's a nice haul you have there Lance, to bad it's stolen! "

Thinking himself completely alone the thief in black leather immediately froze. He slowly turned to behold a sight he could not believe. Lance tried to speak but found himself incapable of the act.

There standing on a large throw rug but ten feet away was vision of feminine perfection few men would believe existed. In her patented hands on the hips power stance was a purple figure that seductively shimmered in the shadows of the loft. The moon light from above glistened and sparkled off of her satin cowl, cape, gloves and boots. The low level of light developed a purple sheen on her incredible snug body suit, which appeared as if it were painted on. Additionally there was a gleaming gold Bat Logo sewn across her ample chest. Lance Morgan would never forget his first view of Batgirl.

Never having previously seen the Goddess of Gotham City Lance was not sure Batgirl really existed? Sure he had read many accounts of her deeds in the papers but he dismissed them as wild rumors and fantasy. The vision of beauty that now stood before him instantly erased all doubts in the young man's mind.

The man in black- leather felt she was incredibly lovely and he was totally in awe of her. Lance could not think of five foot ten inch body more perfectly sculpted and noted that her fiery tresses brilliantly complemented the purple motif of her costume. It was no wonder his voice had failed him for during his quarter century of life he had never beheld a woman more beautiful.

It took Lance a full minute to regain his voice as he stammered,

"Your, your Batgirl!" Batgirl grabbed both sides of her cape, curtsied and replied,

"At your service! Now Lance, let's talk about your activities tonight shall we? "The knowledge that Batgirl knew his name was totally disconcerting to the young man as he timidly inquired,

"How did you find out my name?" Smiling broadly Batgirl answered,

"It was simple. I went to the directory at the front of the building and under the fourth floor it said Lance Morgan Esquire." Lance swore,

"Damn, it was always the little things. " Now taking a serious tone Batgirl inquired,

"Would you care to explain how diamond merchandize from Feldman and Company can now be found your dining table? "Lance started to deny the accusation but quickly decided that it was absurd to deny the obvious. He was also aware of Batgirl's morality and felt that the honesty is best policy approach might garner some sympathy from the booted beauty. Lance replied,

"I stole the jewelry because I am deep in debt to some shylock's that are putting the squeeze on me. Besides it is no big deal anyway because the insurance company will pay for it." Batgirl's blue eyes flashed with anger and her voice hardened.

"It is a big deal Lance. Because of you all of the jewelers will have to pay higher insurance premiums. What about all of the other jobs that you have pulled? Don't deny it! "Again Lance was startled that Batgirl was aware of his previous heists and again decided to admit his guilt "All right I admit it; I did other jobs but just a few." The enchantress replied,

"I am sorry Lance your going to jail." The banker now became desperate and began to plead and grovel.

"Please Batgirl please, don't send me to jail. You know what those men will do to me!"

It was now the turn of the Caped Crusadress to be shocked. Lance was right for as soon as he hit the lock up he would be fair game for the other inmates. Not wishing to be ultimately responsible for violent acts perpetrated on Lance in jail Batgirl inquired,

"Would you be willing to make restitution to every one you stole from? " Lance shouts,

"Yes, I will repay every one. It may take awhile but I will." Seemingly satisfied Batgirl observed,

"All right, I will see what I can do. But you really should have thought about jail before you started pulling jobs. "Reaching into her utility belt Batgirl removes a pair of Batcuffs as she orders Lance to turn around and place his hands behind his back. Lance does as the caped cutie commands but at the last second he rebels. Just as Batgirl begins to slip on the cuffs Lance viciously rammed his right elbow into the golden Bat logo.

Batgirl is stunned by the painful blow to her chest and staggers backward. She quickly recovers however and as she faces her opponent she angrily declares,

"Lance that was very naughty and very stupid, now I will have to punish you!" The gloved goddess slowly moved towards the thief. Feinting with her left hand Batgirl fired a short jab into Lance's solar plexus's followed by a hard left hook to his jaw. Lance immediately dropped to his knees in agony. But the thief refused to quit and launched a round house right at the shimmering seductress. Batgirl merely ducked under punch and shot another devastating jab to the thief's stomach.

For the next four minutes the unequal fight continued as Lance fired blow after blow at the dynamic damsel who was always just out of reach. In the meantime the booted beauty pummeled the young man with one well- aimed punch after another. Seeing that Lance is totally incapable of any defense himself Batgirl called on him to surrender,

"Come on Lance give it up! You don't have a prayer of beating me. "Almost breathless Lance replies,

"No, I won't quit! I am not going to jail! "Lance finally observed that his only chance is if he can somehow tackle the temptress; get her on the floor to deliver a lethal blow. Slowly rising from his knees Lance backs up and then launched himself at Batgirl. Foolishly Lance has already telegraphed his plan. Batgirl expecting the move felt that it is now time to end the affair. The curvaceous crime fighter decided on her patented show- girl kick to deliver the knock out. As Lance began his flight toward the glittering goddess a shapely leg with a dazzling Bat Boot began an upward swing.

Unfortunately the short heel of her shiny boot caught in the thick throw rug causing Batgirl to lose her balance and fall backwards onto her derriere. A split second later Lance landed on top of the surprised seductress who was slammed into the floor. The Dark Night Damsel was momentarily stunned as Lance delivered a heavy blow to her jaw. Batgirl knows she may be defeated if she doesn't get Lance off of her. .

Desperate to escape the leather- clad man Batgirl drew back her knees into her chest and fired two gleaming Bat Boots into her opponent's chest. Lance sensed that he was being pushed away from the Dazzling Dare Doll grabbed at anything he could. In a bizarre act of fate his right hand clutched a black felt ear. As Lance lands two feet from the enchantress on his butt and he found himself holding a purple satin Bat Cowl.

As soon as the precious Bat Cowl left her face Batgirl knew she was in desperate trouble and must escape the loft. Instantly she flipped the shimmering Bat Cape over her head and leapt to her to her feet. Lance saw the move instantly grabbed her left boot and pulled the Bat Beauty back down to the floor while shouting,

"Oh no you don't!"

Batgirl again attempted to get to her feet but as she rose Lance slammed a boot into her abdomen causing the decowled damsel to double over in agonizing pain. Lance now wanted vengeance for the beating he had received. He shot a brutal kick into the back of the bold beauty, which slammed her face down into the floor. When the gold satin cape began to slowly lift Lance delivered a brutal kick to the right side of her head, which rendered the Caped Crusadress completely unconscious.

Lance knelt over his fallen foe rolled her on to her back and then removed the gleaming gold utility belt. His interest now peeked, Lance grabbed the shiny cape and prepared to view the true identity of the now Defenseless Dare Doll. As the shimmering purple cape slowly fell away from the head of the helpless heroine Lance stared at the now unmasked maiden. Her face was flawless and Lance realized that Batgirl was even more beautiful without her cowl.

After a few more seconds the leather clad thief was able to put a name to the defeated damsel. He had met her at a society function two years ago. Her name was Barbara Gordon and her father was Big Jim Gordon. Lance found it totally astonishing that Batgirl was the Police Commissioner's daughter.

HOLY TWIST OF FATE

What will happen to Batgirl now that she has been unmasked? Will her secret identity be revealed ?
