The Mad Hatter is loose!

Batgirl saw a report as she sped across the city on her motorcycle. The emergency news broadcast sprung up on her helmet display.

"This is a breaking report." The reporter announced. "Jervis Tetch, also known as the Mad Hatter, has just broken loose from Arkham Asylum. Tetch is considered armed and extremely dangerous, and is wanted for ****, **** and **** in various cases from the last five years..."

A picture came up. The Mad Hatter, in his silly oversized cap, with his sinister, almost cartoonish grin. Batgirl smiled. Good, a real villain! She'd been chasing purse snatchers too long! Though, the Mad Hatter was a B lister at best. His mind control tech was advanced, and his robots impressive, but she was an electronics expert herself, and sure she could find him and nab him!

Then, another display cut over the news report. It was a direct message from Batman, priority one.

"Batman to Batgirl." He said. Batgirl rolled her eyes. Of course she already knew it was him calling! Old people, so clueless.

"I'm benching you until Mad Hatter is caught." He said.

"What?!" Batgirl said. "Again? Every time Mad Hatter breaks out you put me off duty! I can handle him! I'm every bit as capable as Robin."

"This isn't a debate." Batman said firmly. "Mad Hatter has.... leanings towards women. Intentions. If he sees you as his new 'Alice' in his sick fantasy he'll stop at nothing to control you. So, until he's caught, go home. That's an order."

Batman hung up on her. Batgirl growled in frustration! That was totally sexist! Sending her home because the Mad Hatter was a creep? It wasn't fair! Well, she'd show him! She pulled off in a secluded alley and began typing on her wrist computer. She swore she'd find Mad Hatter first, beat him senseless, and prove once and for all she was Batman's most useful ally!
