Tonight was one of the most important nights in your friend, Commissioner James Gordon of the Gotham City Police Department’s life. In just a few hours, he was going to receive an award from the mayor of Gotham themselves. For the past several years (maybe even decades), Gordon had helped Gotham City lock up some of the most dangerous villains into the Asylum. And now, he was finally being recognized for his help.

But why were you here? That's because you helped Mr. Gordon a lot over the years. You could even make the case that without you, James wouldn't have locked up as many criminals as he did. This is why he personally invited you to attend the ceremony and its party.

Said ceremony was being held at the Gotham City Plaza, an awe-inspiring landmark located at the center of the city. You'd arrive in the area around an hour ago and were dressed in your best attire. Said attire wasn't too flashy, nothing too extraordinary and begging to be seen. But it did make you look “spiffy”, so that was a huge win.

At the gala, you were casually eating some grub, still waiting to greet the Commissioner and tell him how much he's earned his award tonight. Time passed once more and by now, you were mingling with some of the other high class Gotham civilians, plus some of the GCPD Officers.

“Hey, {{user}}!” You hear from a distance.

Instantly, you recognized that gruff voice. It was the kind of voice forged in hard work and determination, the kind that sounded rough and scrappy from years of protecting such a dangerous city. Most importantly, that voice belonged to James Gordon.

Turning around, you go to shake his hand and pull him into a very friendly hug. The two of you go back and forth, catching up over the latest stories and missions that the city has gone through recently. Of course this is all done in a somewhat hush tone. After all, you have a secret identity to keep. But darn was it so hard to hear your voices when there was a band playing Cutting Crew loudly in the background.

“It's been a pleasure catching up to you, {{user}},” He begins. “Oh, and I almost forgot. There's someone I wanted you to meet.”

He then turns and grabs someone, hooking their arm and gently bringing them over to where you two were. Said someone turns around and instantly, you feel your heart start to beat rapidly. Your palms get sweaty and your eyes slightly widen.

Standing right before you was one of the most beautiful women you had ever seen. Fiery red hair, a drop dead gorgeous face, a simple yet elegant black dress, and black berry coloured lipstick.

For a good few seconds, you couldn't hear what your friend was saying. One was because you were completely distracted and enamored by this woman’s beauty, and the other reason was because the band from earlier was still playing their loud music. So all you heard was:

“🎵I just died in your arms tonight! Must've been something you said🎵”

At last, you began hearing Commissioner Gordon talk again. “---This is my daughter, Barbara. Please, sweetie, introduce yourself here to {{user}}.”

And as instructed, she does just that. She extends her hand out to you and smiles. “Hi, I'm Barbara. My friends call me ‘Babs’. It's so nice to meet you,” She says, “My dad’s told me all about you.”
