Gotham By Daylight
She was perched on a rooftop across from the Gotham Bank, peering down carefully with binoculars.

"Shouldn't I be in school?"

"Not today kiddo.  Got a hot tip there was going to be a bank robbery today.  You can't buy publicity like that."

"It's just that I had a test today and I've got a research paper do and..."

"Sweetie, trust me.  When you're a famous super-hero, you can find people to do that for you."

"...If you say so, Mom."

She shivered a little.  It was entirely too cold to be running around in short sleeves, a skirt, and thin tights.  But it was the costume her mother had insisted on.  Because it was what Flamebird wore. 

"Police scanner just picked up a silent alarm.  You should go in.  Through the skylight.  Remember to say something dramatic.  Remind them who you are."

"Yes, Mom..."

Robin Kane fumbled with her grapnel, firing it onto the roof of the bank.  She'd swing over, then maybe come down through the skylight.  After she'd scoped out what was going on inside.

...She was going to get herself killed doing this, she just knew.  But try telling that to her mother...

"This from the woman who calls herself the Huntress? The last woman with that name was a grade-A psychopath, the stories I could tell you..."

"Really, really not the time for flashbacks Mom..."

Flamebird reached into her utility belt, throwing a bolo. The thick weighed cords wrapped around the last one, bringing him down even as the Huntress brought down the next.

Outside, the sounds of sirens gave a tell-tale sign that the police had finally arrived.

"Nice job," Huntress said. "But you may want to think about a name change."

"What's wrong with the name? As if she'd know anything..." Robin tried to shut her mother's voice out of her mind.

"Thanks," she said instead. "...What's wrong with the name?"

"It doesn't flow," Huntress said. "Flamebird. No style to it. Now something like Firebird flows. Not to mention people can picture a firebird."

"Yeah, well, screw you, lady..."

Bette nodded. "I... think I'm gonna keep it for now. But, ah, thanks."

"Don't thank the competition!"

"Suit yourself," Huntress said. "I'm Huntress by the way. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise," Robin said, turning off her headset. "So I did okay? I'm... kinda new at this."

"You did," Huntress said. "Bad guys caught. No one hurt. I'd say that's okay."

"Guess that counts for something then," she said. "Thanks."

Huntress smiled. "If you ever get in a tight spot," she said and pulled out a card. It only had a phone number on it.

The cops came inside and took control of the would-be-robbers.

She took the card and placed it in one of the compartments of her utility belt, grateful her mother didn't know about this.

"I'll be sure to call."

"I'll be seeing you around," Huntress said and then left.

Well... not too bad, for her first outing. By now, news crews had arrived. Time to do like Mom said and glam...
