ravagerv: I know, right?

She felt a little guilty leaving Rose stuck back there with the demon spawn, but if anyone would understand, it'd be her. Too well, probably. Stephanie knew Rose would try and stop what she was about to do...whatever that was. She had no idea what it was going to take to convince Cobblepot, but whatever it was, she was willing to do it. She knew Rose well enough to know she'd try and stop her and do whatever Penguin wanted herself in order to keep Steph's hands clean. She couldn't let her do that. This was her daughter and she was the one that needed to make this right. 

To be honest, this whole invisibility thing was more difficult than one might think – just because the truck driver couldn't see you, doesn't mean he couldn't bulldoze you over with his semi. Weaving through the streets of Gotham was a little like playing Frogger – only without the annoying 80's videogame music (Great, now it's stuck in your head). It didn't help that she could almost hear Tim lecturing inside her head. “That's stolen technology, Steph. You shouldn't have accepted that, Steph. You shouldn't be using that, Steph. You're not cut out to be Batgirl, Steph. You don't have what it takes....” Blah blah blah.

And maybe he was right. Maybe he had been all along, but right now – Stephanie Brown didn't give a fu...dge. She wasn't thinking of the promise she'd made herself never to use the device again, she had one thing on her mind. And to do that, she needed to reach Penguin before Rose, or worse, Damian figured out what she was planning and tried to stop her.

It didn't take her long though, she knew the streets of Gotham like the back of her hand , but it felt like an eternity. Finally arriving at the abandoned warehouse near the docks– she hoped this was still one of Oswald's hideouts, but it had been years since she'd worked with him. For all she knew, she could be on wild goose chase (Wrong bird, Steph). It was all she had to go on though. She pulled once at the heavy metal door. Locked, of course. “Darn it” she muttered under her breath and looked up towards the roof, trying to see if she could spot an alternative way in without announcing herself.

She didn't have to look long though, the door suddenly swinging open and knocking her onto her behind (Invisibility doesn't not give you the ability to walk through walls, duh). She sat in the mud for a moment, stunned from the blow to the head but as the two men exiting the building peered curiously out the door, wondering what they hit, she spotted her opportunity to sneak inside – they were too busy pulling their weapons out and scanning the empty lot to notice her slip between them. This was a good sign – guards always have something (or someone) to guard, and Penguin would be on full alert after what happened at the club.

She could hear the goons trying to figure out what the door had slammed into as the door swung shut behind her and she made her way down the hall. Now that she was here, panic started to set in. She was Spoiler when she'd worked for Penguin – giving away that she was now Batgirl was risky. What was she going to say? What did she even have to offer in return for his cooperation?

|| Stephanie's rp, originally started on Facebook, will continue here. This is just intended to give the necessary background and a summary of the rp to date.||

Stephanie discovered she was pregnant shortly after she met Tim Drake – whom she then only knew as ‘Robin’. With his support, she came to the difficult decision of giving her baby up for adoption. She refused to see her baby girl after giving birth, too afraid she couldn’t bear to go through with it if she did. After being tortured and shot by Black Mask during the events of War Games, Batman (Bruce Wayne) promised Stephanie (on her ‘death’ bed) that he would ensure the child was taken care of.
