The Batgirl of Gotham City (New Age)/Issue 1

Transcript
The issue begins in a deep corner of Blackgate Penitentiary as several heavily armed guards are leading Lester Buchinsky aka the Electrocutioner to get executed via electrocution. They place him on the chair and lock him tight as one guard, unknown to the rest, loosens the bottom bits.
 * Guard 1: Lester Buchinsky. Such a sad little man. Killed his own parents and then temporarily pursued brutal vigilantism. Batman stopped him and he became a mob enforcer.
 * Guard 2: How many people did he kill again? 50-100?
 * Guard 1: Too many to count. That's why this sick bastard should die. Nobody will miss him.

They prepare to push the button as suddenly Lester replies.


 * Lester: Nobody will miss you two. Or any of you guards guarding me.
 * Guard 2: What do you mean?

Suddenly, the glass breaks, revealing Lester, now using his free feet, has used the chair to break the glass. He then attacks and kills almost all of the guards with the chair except for the one who loosened his leg grips as he walks to him and loosens his hands.


 * Lester: Your plan actually worked!
 * Alive Guard: It wasn't mine. It was Sionis'. Now since he was responsible for saving you. It is time to do something in return. And no worries, we have a plan to get you fully out of here.
 * Lester: Will I get my shock gloves?
 * Alive "Guard": You will.
 * Lester: Great.

They both walk off, heading out of the Penitentiary. It cuts to Barbara Gordon waking up and serving some breakfast as Jason Bard is up as well.


 * Jason: Wow that looks good.
 * Barbara: Of course it does. And it is almost done.

She grabs the food and serves it to him as he starts eating.


 * Jason: Supposedly I'm getting a new partner today.
 * Barbara: Why did you rejoin the GCPD again?
 * Jason: Because your father isn't Lobe. He is working on removing the corruption from the GCPD.
 * Barbara: I mean, he is my dad. That sounds like something he would do.
 * Jason: What about you?
 * Barbara: I might try to find an actual job.
 * Jason: Alright then.

They keep eating as Jason checks his watch.


 * Jason: I should likely go.

He kisses her and then runs off. Barbara sighs, grabs a bust and presses a button, opening two bookcases as she enters, revealing a mini-batcave. She heads to the computer as she suddenly sees live feed of Lester and the faux guard escaping Batgirl as Barbara groans.


 * Barbara: I should probably get a tech guy.

She quickly puts her suit on and uses her batcycle to drive towards Lester's location. She soon arrives as Lester and the faux guard are about to escape in a van.


 * Lester: It's the Batgirl! Drive!

The faux guard starts driving as Batgirl is close behind as she grabs the batclaw and uses it to open the back of the van. She then jumps into the van, placing the batcycle on auto drive as she grabs Lester. He activates his shock gloves and begins throwing punches. Batgirl and Electrocutioner fight until he breaks a hole into the van and jumps off landing on a car and hijacking it. Batgirl attempts to jump to the car as Lester summons an electric wave pushing her back. Barbara notices the faux guard is still there as she pushes him out of the drivers seat and drives the van to an alleyway. She then grabs the faux guard and throws him in a wall.


 * Batgirl: You helped break Lester Buchinsky out. Why?
 * Faux Guard: Like I would tell you!
 * Batgirl: Then I want to show you something.

She reveals a green substance.


 * Batgirl: You know Kryptonite? This is liquid kryptonite. Long term exposure to regular Kryptonite can give a human cancer. I wonder what would happen if someone drinks liquid Kryptonite? Is it an instant death? Or is it slow and painful?
 * Faux Guard: Oh god! I'll tell! Black Mask hired me to break him out! He wants the competition out of the way! So he broke Electrocutioner free in exchange for him absolutely destroying a Falcone owned bank!
 * Batgirl: You know? I prefer calling him Lester.

She smacks him on the wall, knocking him out. She then giggles at the green vial.


 * Batgirl: Who knew that low rate thugs can easily believe that water with green food coloring is liquid Kryptonite.

She throws it away and then calls her motorcycle as she is now preparing to go to the bank. At the bank, the Electrocutioner is now attacking the people and chuckles. Batgirl then bursts in.


 * Batgirl: Hiya Lester!
 * Electrocutioner: Don't call me that! I am the Electrocutioner now!
 * Batgirl: Okay what's next? You have a secret sibling? You have a very tragic backstory? Come on tell me Lester. What other clichés in every villain do you hold?
 * Electrocutioner: I will kill you and watch your corpse be shocked!
 * Batgirl: The empty death threat. Bingo!

She and Electroctuioner begin fighting in the bank as Batgirl actually doing well against his electric hands. She then grabs a chair and bonks him over his head as he creates a massive electric shockwave, spreading over the bank. She dodges the wave and then fires a Batarang at one of Lester's gloves. He tries to get it off as it suddenly explodes, knocking him out.


 * Batgirl: Lester, you should have known to make your gloves batarang proof.

Suddenly Jason Bard and his new partner, Jamie Harper run in as the Batgirl is gone.


 * Jamie: Do you think the Batman fought him?
 * Jason: Batman and Robin are currently fighting Bane. Ten miles from here. I actually think it was the Batgirl.
 * Jamie: Batgirl is fighting solo now?
 * Jason: Let's just put Mr. Bunchisky in a cell. The government will decide if his death penalty is still valid.

Jamie sighs and grabs the unconscious Bunchisky. It finally cuts to the faux guard now tied up with Black Mask holding a gun to his head.


 * Black Mask: Paul, dare to tell my why my boys found you unconscious in the street and Electrocutioner facing a jail sentence?
 * Paul: It was the Batgirl! She threatened me!
 * Black Mask: And you spilled?
 * Paul: I had no choice!
 * Black Mask: I kinda liked you Paul. Which makes what I have to do now very painful.

He fires the gun, as Paul drops dead.


 * Black Mask: Boys. It looks like we have a new problem. Nothing that a little teamwork can't solve.

He laughs as the issue ends.
