Once Spoiler recovered and got a good look a the riddles, she put her book smarts to work again. She looked over and smiled under her mask at the new guy. She knew he was hero, just a little rough around the edges... just like Batman. She didn't have time to tell him how she felt though, and plus she would have said something mushy anyway. It was back to action and nabbing Enigma.
"Okay, these are pretty easy," she said. "How many sides does a circle have? Two... inside and outside. What sits in a three and is very dangerous? I've heard this one before. It's more of a bad joke than a riddle, typical Enigma. The answer is a sparrow with a machine gun. Sparrow... inside and out... I've got it! The candy convention. I was going to........" She looked at Terry. "Um, my secret alter-ego was going to go there tonight before this happened. Anyway, the featured attraction at the convention tonight is a Sweets Sparrow. On the outside it's pure gold and encrusted with gems. On the inside, it's filled with expensive chocolate candies from all over Europe. Enigma REALLY needs to get pointers from her dad on coming up with these riddle clues." Spoiler wanted to add, "if I can figure them out", but decided she might be hating on herself a bit by saying that. Still, Batman was usually the only one who could figure out the Riddler's clues.
"Enigma got away this time, so we need to get to the convention ASAP!" she said. "Um, Babs, can I ride on your cycle with you?"

Barbara wasnt to sure about this batkid, he seemed to be like batman but she knew only one man could be like batman and that was batman. looking at Stephanie she nodded, "you can." looking at the batkid she glared at him. walking around him she tried to figure him out. "Who are you batkid? friend or foe?" the questions seemed more to be a question to herself then to Terry. "you wear the bat suit but yet iv never seen you and iv been around as long as Nightwing." still the question seemed more to herself. look at stephanie she walked back up to her, and looked at Batman beyond. "This here is Spoilers mission, we follow what she says got it batkid. if your going to wear our mark you follow the family. Tonight Spoiler is leading the group." that was Batgirl trying to be friendly.
Barbara and batgirl had two seprate personality lists, Barbara was more of the nice sweet one as batgirl was the complete counter part. Batgirl cared about two things, One the safety of others and two he family, both barbara's and batgirls. this hard cold outer shell was just a mask to the batkid, if he stuck around long enugh barbara would take him in and care for him much like a little brother, just as she did with the others.
Barbara walked out to her bike and thought about contacting batman about batkid. it was just a point in time where he would find the batcave.

Meanwhile at the candy convention, guests and security were gathered around the Sweets Sparrow. From a window, Enigma watched the scene with her binoculars. The crowd didn't seem to bother her one bit. Enigma had a plan and this time, she knew it would be a good one. She got on her walkie-talkie and contacted her henchwomen.
"Everything looks good to go," she said to them. "Ready?"
"Do we have to wear these costumes?" asked Echo on the other end.
"Yep, it's all part of my elaborate plan!" said Enigma.
"To steal a bird-shaped bowl with candy in it?" asked Query.
"Yep," said Enigma. "Perform Operation Oompla Loompa and then I'll join you! Enigma out!"
Moments later, Echo and Query walked into the convention, dressed as... big surprise... Oompla Loompas from the classic Gene Wilder films. Both were holding gummy bear-shaped balloons. They played around a bit before placing on gas masks. They then placed needles in the balloons, causing knockout gas to stream out. Very soon, everyone inside, aside for the henchwomen of course, were out and snoozing. Enigma then walked in herself, wearing a gas mask as well. She turned to Echo and Query and gave them thumbs up.
"Great job, you two!" she said.
"We really don't like you right now," said Echo. Enigma lowered her head in momentary shame, then shrugged it off before skipping over to the case containing the Sweets Sparrow. After studying the lock for a moment, she raised her cane and smashed the glass.
"Well, that was easy," she said before grabbing the bowl.

It still astounded Terry at how quickly Steph could deduce these riddles, even commenting, "that's amazing," before she told them that they were heading out, of course, Batgirl stopped the clone in his tracks before they could really get going. And to threaten him of all things.
Returning the glare to Batgirl, Terry didn't really appreciate being scrutinized so thoroughly. He also wasn't too fond of the nickname that the hero had given him. "Call me Batkid one more time, see what happens." He was confident that he could take Batgirl AND Spoiler if he had to, but was really not in the mood to be fighting other heroes. Then she went off on her little thing about how if he was going to wear the suit that he was going to follow the leader tonight. To this, Terry, chuckled and replied, "sorry, didn't realize there was a trademark on dressing up like a bat and taking care of crime," at this point he stood up fully, showing his own height and standing over Batgirl, only being slightly shorter than the original Batman, "I'll come along, but I'm not following orders that I think aren't the right calls, and if you have a problem with that you can just try and stop me." The behavior was reminiscent of how Batman often behaved concerning the Justice League, though he presented it in a considerably less respectful manner.
When they made their way outside, Terry wall-jumped between two buildings to gain a small amount of altitude, and activated his wings and boots once more in pursuit of the bike. It wasn't long before they caught up to the scene of the next crime, where at, Beyond was already hiding among the shadows. This was more out of respect for his new sorta-friend Spoiler, but since it was her night, she'd get to pick who made the first move.

The newbie seemed to not be all that crazy about following her or Batgirl's orders, and probably would not follow Batman's if he was around either. One of those rebel heroes... ha-za. This would be fun. But it was back to business. Enigma had to be stopped, and it would be nice if they arrived before the criminal left the scene this time. Steph rode behind Babs until all arrived at the convention. Steph was a bit upside as she wanted to attend this out-of-costume and try all the free samples of candies from around the world, as well as buy some unique treats for the family. Oh well, there was always next year. Arriving, she saw gas in the building.
"Okay, everyone, we need to put on gas masks if you have'em..." she began. She then looked at the new guy's mask. "Well... that is if you need them too." Spoiler then studied the building. "Okay, we attack from all sides. I'll go in the front way, Batgirl, you hit the roof, and... New Bat Guy... you come in via the back entrance. We take out any goons first, and knowing Enigma, those will probably be those two ladies that hung around with the Riddler all the time, and if it is, they'll be armed, so watch it. New Bat Guy and I can do that. Batgirl, you find a way to get rid of the gas. If that works, we can all surround Enigma and take her down. Everyone, got it?"
All this was going on during the time Enigma was smashing the case.
