The gooparang worked perfectly even after a year in mothballs so yay! But that still left two skulls with a hate for bats. Batgirl launched herself into the air, bouncing off a chair and a wall, twisting to get out of the way.

She managed to avoid one bolt but the next three caught her solidly - one to the shoulder, one as she was sent spinning directly in the stomach, burning through the black kevlar way too easily. She hit the ground gracelessly, her cape following with a too heavy thump over her. The third bolt hit that, the fire muted by the armored fabric.

Fucking ow, she thought with a groan and pushed herself to her feet. Okay, no more rangs. A flick of her wrist telescoped her staff out. Batter up.
