Note: The DCU in this story series is mostly pre-The New 52, but there
might be a few concepts, character revamps, etc. that I have taken from The New
52.
In the Washington, D.C. office of
the IADC, Agent Diana Prince packed her office. She had several boxes
that would lo be sent on a federal government transport to Gotham City.
She walked and used her security badge to enter the
computer data room of IRAC, the Information Retrieval Associative Computer.
IRAC was the IADC's artifical intelligent.
IRAC's main screen was a screen of colored dots that blinked in patterns, based
upon the word, when it spoke. Everyone now interfaced with IRAC vocally.
IRAC originally was a room full of computer tape banks, but now had been
replaced with several computer servers. Each server housed yatabytes of
data. IRAC's servers had encryption that the even the NSA could not
crack. IRAC had the advantage of adaptability, where it did not need
scheduled patching or upgrades to deal with hacking attacks and other
unauthorized network access. The President, however, had a special
passkey that could shutdown IRAC, which the A.I. could not bypass or delete.
IRAC scanned Diana's security badge and then confirmed
her identity. The confirmation involved several scanning protocols.
Anyone not confirmed would have triggered a silent alarm to IADC
security. The voice of IRAC, which sounded like a male's voice that had
gone through a harmonizer, greeted, "Hello, Agent Prince."
Diana always marveled at the advanced A.I. She
greeted back, "Hello, IRAC."
"What can assistance can I offer?", the
computer asked.
Agent Prince adjusted her large, circular glasses,
which prevented anyone from thinking of her as Wonder Woman, and then said,
"I came to say goodbye. You've been an incredible help to me.
I also came to pass along Wonder Woman's thanks."
"Do not worry, Agent Prince. I believe that
you will frequent Washington, D.C. once in a while?", IRAC inquired.
Diana said, "Yes, but I'm not sure how
soon."
Agent Prince scanned the room to make sure no one else
was around and then spoke, "Privacy mode."
IRAC confirmed, "Privacy mode engaged."
Diana requested, "Scan for anything ties between
Richard Grayson of Gotham City and Agent Diana Prince."
"Scanning.", IRAC responded.
A few seconds later, IRAC stated, "No data
found."
Diana sighed with relief. She was glad that no
one knew about her relationship with Dick Grayson. She commanded,
"Send to me anything you find about this relationship."
IRAC was silent for a few seconds while it tasked the
command and then stated, "Request tasked."
Diana stated, "End privacy mode."
Just then Agent Steve Trevor entered. He
remarked, "Diana, there you are. I've been looking everywhere for
you."
She affectionately patted IRAC's screen and then
mentioned, "Just saying my goodbyes, Steve."
Steve said, "I'll be debriefing you on your
current assignments and then reassigning your cases."
"Sounds good, Steve.", Diana agreed.
He asked, "Diana, have I done anything to you
that made you transfer?"
"No Steve."
"Anything you want to talk about?"
"I'd rather not. It's personal.",
Diana informed. She didn't like how Agent Trevor was probing into her
personal life. She realized that leaving Washington, D.C. wasn't such a
bad thing after all.
Steve asked, "You wouldn't happen to know where
Wonder Woman was, Diana?"
"Sorry, Steve, but I haven't heard from Wonder
Woman in days. Why?"
"Oh nothing.", lied Steve. He had been
infatuated with Wonder Woman, and had mustered up the courage to ask her
out. He realized that he might have missed his opportunity to date Wonder
Woman.
Diana wanted to get away from Steve now. She
stated, "I'll meet you in the conference room."
Steve nodded and then waited for her to leave.
He said to IRAC, "Privacy mode."
"Privacy mode engaged.", IRAC responded.
He ordered, "Send me anything about Agent Diana
Prince. I want her whereabouts tracked."
IRAC stated, "Provide authorization code from
Director Aikenson."
Steve sighed and then said, "I don't have
authorization."
IRAC informed, "Agent Trevor, this is your second
unauthorized attempt to spy on a fellow IADC agent. A third attempt will
be reported to Director Aikenson. Ending privacy mode."
Steve was frustrated that he couldn't spy on
Diana. He believed that spying on Diana would lead him to Wonder
Woman. He stormed out of the computer data room.
Director Aikenson intercepted Agent Trevor in the
hallway. Aikenson said, "Steve."
"Yes, sir?", Trevor responded.
The IADC director informed, "I'll handle Agent
Prince's exit interview. Why don't you take the rest of the day
off? Play some golf or something."
Steve insisted, "But sir..."
"Don't make give an order, Steve.", Aikenson
retorted.
Agent Trevor acknowledged, "I'll logoff my
computer and then play a round of golf."
Aikenson said, "Thank you, Steve. See you
tomorrow."
--------------------
During the next evening, the Batsignal cast a bright
bat symbol in the cloud Gotham sky.
Commissioner James Gordon stood by the powerful
skylight that projected the bat symbol. He stuffed tabacco into his pipe,
and then lit up. He had tried quitting smoking several times, but pipe
tabacco calmed his nerves and eased the tension as Gotham City's top cop.
He expected Robin or Batgirl to respond to the Batsignal, instead of
Batman. Gordon was pretty damn upset that Batman had been missing over
the past week fews, where he had to deal with the sidekicks.
Batman dropped silently behind Gordon. He
crouched in a pose, where he was concealed by most of his cape, and then
greeted in his Bat-voice, "Hello, Commissioner."
Gordon turned to face Batman. The seasoned
police officer looked over the Dark Knight. Gordon noticed Batman's new
costume was brighter than before. He also noticed that Batman's frame was
less stockey. He angrily barked, "Where the hell have you
been?!?"
Dick Grayson didn't blame Commissioner Gordon on being
upset with Batman. Dick felt worse that he had to lie to the
commissioner. Batman said, "I apologize in being gone for so long,
but it was unavoidable."
James Gordon reprimanded, "Next time, give me a
heads up. You at least had Robin and the others in Gotham while you were
absent."
The police commissioner put his detective skills at
work. While the Caped Crusader sounded like Batman with the gruff voice,
Gordon noticed the kinder and more socialible tone Batman had. Batman
even apologized without being forced to do so. Gordon felt a different
relationship with Batman, as if they were collegues instead of friends.
He put the clues together, and then recognized
Batman's voice as Nightwing's voice.
Batman hid is uneasiness. Dick Grayson could see
Commissioner Gordon putting the pieces together, and then seeing who he really
was.
Gordon asked, "What's going on here? I know
you're not the original Batman. Why have you taken over the Mantle of the
Bat?"
Batman stood up from his crouching stance to fully
reveal himself. He stated, "The original Batman won't be coming
back."
James Gordon took a long puff from his pipe. He
needed the drag of nicotine to numb his emotions. He wanted to mourn the
loss of his friend, but now wasn't the time. Gordon blew a few smoke
rings and then asked, "What do you need from me?"
Dick Grayson smiled. Batman was relieved that he
had Commissioner Gordon's help.
Gordon was unnerved at seeing Batman smile. He
had never seen the Dark Knight smile before. "Do you mind not doing
that?"
"Doing what?"
"Smiling. You're creeping me out."
"You'll have to get used to it,
Commissioner. You'll be seeing me smile quite a bit.", Batman
informed. He held out his gloved hand and then offered,
"Partners?"
Gordon shook Batman's hand.
"Partners."
"What do we tackle tonight?", Batman asked.
James Gordon nearly choked on his tabacco smoke.
"What happened in doing whatever the hell you wanted?!?"
Batman said, "Gotham is your city too,
Commissioner."
Commissioner Gordon talked into his radio,
"Lieutenant Montoya, bring me the stack of active case files on my desk
and then come to the roof."
Batman asked, "While we're waiting, give me an
update on the major villains. Especially the Joker."
"Why?", James Gordon inquired.
The Caped Crusader elaborated, "Batgirl told me
that the Joker hasn't been seen in Gotham for weeks."
The commissioner reminded, "You know that the
Joker doesn't show up in Gotham unless you're around."
"That wouldn't stop him from playing his tricks
in the city."
--------------------
Blue Beetle, aka Ted Kord, piloted his airborne craft
through the cloudy sky of Gotham City. He muttered, "We're almost
there, Bug."
The Bug is what he had named his vehicle. The
Bug looked like a gigantic, mechanical blue bug. Its interior could
comfortably seat five people. Blue Beetle, however, mostly flew the Bug
by himself. His insect-looking craft had state-of-the-art technology that
he could easily acquire as CEO of Kord Enterprises. The technology included
the advanced scanning equipment, a next-generation crime lab, and advanced
weapons. He even had a private cabin where he could conduct business
meetings in his civilian guise, if needed.
Blue Beetle was in Gotham City on personal
business. He could use the cockpit controls, but Ted loved the
well-responsive voice controls he had programmed into the Bug. He said,
"Bug, park here and then open up."
The blue craft stopped to hover above Gotham Towers,
and then opened a bottom porthole. A high-tension cable with a bar handle
lowered to the opening. Blue Beetle grabbed onto the handle with both
hands, and then dropped through the opening.
"Hi ho, Silver!", he joyfully called out.
Blue Beetle loved the rush of diving through the air
from the Bug. He dove down, and then felt the cable's winch activate to
slow his descent. A few moments later, he deftly touched down onto the
roof of the towers.
Batgirl, aka Barbara Gordon, had been waiting for Blue
Beetle. She smiled upon seeing him. The redhead sauntered over to
him. She ran her dark purple gloved hand through her long, colorful
hair. She teased, "Well, well. It looks I caught myself a
bug."
Blue Beetle released his drop cable. He flashed
a boyish grin and then remarked, "Does that mean you have an appetite for
beetle tonight?"
She wrapped her fit arms around his neck and then
acknowledged, "Always."
The two locked their lips together in a passionate
kiss.
At that moment, the Batsignal illuminated the night
sky.
Blue Beetle commented, '"Lookie there. It
looks like Bats is back on the job. Still want to go on patrol
tonight?"
Batgirl ran her hand down to his costumed
crotch. She was frustrated to find a well protected groin, instead of
feeling his clothed cock. "Hey, what gives?!? When did you add
the protection?"
Ted answered, "Ever since Catwoman kicked me in
the crotch a few weeks back."
Barbara whispered to him, "Should I kiss it to
make it better?"
Blue Beetle grabbed onto her. He called out,
"Bug, take me up."
The Bug responded to the voice command that brought
the high-tension cable back to the airborne craft.
Batgirl rested her head against Blue Beetle's
chest. "Are you taking me back to your place?"
"Yup.", he confirmed. "I have a
nice, twin-sized bed up there."
She teased, "Is there anything you don't have in
the Bug?"
"Only the company of a beautiful woman."
Batgirl blushed. She loved how much Ted cares
for her. "Flatterer."
The duo were soon inside the Bug. Blue Beetle
released the drop cable and then ordered, "Bug, close up. Activate
stealth mode."
The Bug closed its bottom hatch. The insect-like
craft ascended higher up into the Gotham night sky. After reach its high
altitude, the Bug sucked in air from its propulsion system, sent the air
through its cooling system, and then spewed out vapors that mimicked a
cloud. Chemicals were mixed in with tue vapor that prevented the Bug from
behind detected by radar or other bounced signals.
Batgirl slipped off her bat mask to reveal her pretty
face. She asked, "Are we private, Ted?"
Ted slipped off his dark blue face mask, which
included his signature yellow googles. "Uh huh."
Barbara Gordon deftly removed her dark purple gloves,
and then dropped them to the craft's metal floor. She lovingly held onto
his gloved hand and then requested, "Take me."
He slipped off his dark blue gloves, which also had
yellow ovals with a beetle design, and then carefully placed them in the
pilot's sest. Ted picked up the redhead with his athletic, but strong,
arms. "I even have satin sheets."
They kissed each other, as Ted managed his way to the
small bedroom within the Bug. He dropped Batgirl back onto her
feet. He unclasped her bat shaped cape, which was gold on the inside and
dark purple on the outside.
Barbara unlocked the security clasp of her golden
utilty belt, and then removed the belt from her. She raised her arms, so
that Blue Beetle could remove her protective dark purple top from her.
Her top had a bright yellow bat emblem.
He picked up her cape, and then draped it around
her. He mentioned, "I love seeing you, Babs, with just your cape
on."
"I know.", she muttered.
He continued to undress Batgirl. He deliberately
planted butterfly-like kisses on her tummy when he had to kneel down. He
peeled off her dark purple pants. He loved exposing her shave pussy and
the patch of red public hair she kept just above her sex. He gently
kissed her soft, smooth skin when he stood back up.
Barbara moaned from his soft kisses. Her pink
nipples swelled into tiny buds. Her shaved snatch tingled and then got
wet.
She teased, "Time for me to remove your hard
shell."
The fiery redhead huffed in frustration, "Damn
it. Why do you make your top so hard to open?!?"
Blue Beetle stated, "Well, I had to do something
to prevent the Madmen from ripping of my costume whenever I tangled with
them."
Batgirl recalled the time she was in Hub City, Blue
Beetle's home city, and fought the Madmen. They were crazied acrobatic
clowns with colorful hair and stripped outfits with multiple colors. She
did remember how the Madmen groped her a lot too.
After a few moments, she found the clasp that opened
up his dark blue tunic. She peeled off his top to reveal his muscular and
slightly hairy chest.
He unbuckled his black belt, which included the
mystical blue scarab as its buckle. Ted found that the blue scarab did
nothing for him, except in providing him magical protection. The scarab
also absorbed electrical attacks. This If he concentrated, he could make
the scarab discharge mystical bolts.
Ted stared at the blue scarab for a moment, as he
remembered Dan Garret--the original Blue Beetle. The mystical scarab gave
Dan superpowers that included flight and super-strength. Dan died
stopping Ted's mad uncle, Jarvis, from trying to conquer the world with robots.
Barbara kissed along his body, and then removed his
dark blue pants. Her long cape concealed her naked body, when she was
crouched down. She smiled when Ted's hard, 8" cock sprang
forth. While he had closer to an average sized dick, his thick girth more
than made up for it. She could barely wrap her fingers around his wide shaft.
She also appreciated that he kept his cock and balls shaved. Barbara
hated getting public hairs in her mouth or stuck between her teeth. She
resisted the urge to play or suck on his meaty cock, and then stood back up.
The naked duo locked lips in a passionate French kiss.
