Note- My alternate take on the Batman tv show episode 'Marsha, Queen of Diamonds' with the addition of Batgirl. I do not own any rights to Batman or Batgirl. I did not gain any profit from this fictional tale.

Another sparkling day in Gotham City and Marsha, self styled Queen of Diamonds relaxed on her chaise lounge and contemplated her reflection in her hand mirror.
Draped in a full length black gown she wore her long hair piled up on her head.
The elegant and slim beauty positively dripped in diamonds, from her exuberant necklace and drop earings to her studded tiara.
She lived only to possess, wear and flaunt the precious stones and would break any law to gain ownership of the biggest and finest in the world.
In her endless quest for those diamonds, large or small, her attention was drawn more and more to Gotham City, and in particular Batman.
A tall man entered her private room with a turban and Arabian attire.
"Your report, Grand Mogul. Anything on the Bat Diamond?"
"Yes Your Highness, this is the power source for the Bat Computer and well over 10,000 carats in size. Only trouble its kept in the Bat Cave, its whereabouts are unknown."
Marsha chuckled and her diamond necklace jiggled round her pale neck.
"Ah yes, once I've sprung my little trap I will find the Cave.
Is Cupid loaded?"
She referred to the tiny statue on the presentation table with the pose of a cherub pointing a bow and arrow.
The large servant nodded.
"Good, Commissioner Gordon will be here momentarily, have him come in here when he arrives."

James Gordon, many years Commissioner of the Gotham City Police, and proud father of his twenty four year old daughter Barbara, arrived in the Midtown apartment of Marsha in a gruff mood.
He had been dragged here on the pretence his daughter was in attendance with the so called Queen of Diamonds and was in no mood for any fuss.
In recent times his career had been one calamity after another, what with Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman running riot in his city.
Thanks to Batman, and lately Batgirl his life was made somewhat easier.
Shown into her boudoir he confronted her at once.
"Where is my daughter? What have you done with her you diabolical Mata Hara!"
"Darling, relax, sit by me." She patted the round bed she lounged on.
"You are becoming tiresome you witch, where is Barbara?"
Marsha stifled a yawn and fiddled with her remote control to point Cupid at the angry grey haired man.
"No style, no elan, what a bore!"
With a quick stab she fired a love dart which stuck his left butt cheek.
In an instant his mood changed and he became aware of an overwhelming feeling of adoration for the beautiful creature before him.
"I'm yours to command my love, I'll do anything for you, anything." He had completely changed and knelt at her feet, a soppy grin on his face.
"Wonderful darling, hand me the telephone." Marsha pointed a long index finger to her bedside dresser.

A mere two miles away in the office of the Commissioner sat the charming Barbara Gordon, a concerned look on her pretty face.
She nervously tapped her white gloves against her bare thigh, her green mini skirt had hitched up high on her crossed legs.
At that moment Batman and Robin burst in and she jumped up in surprise.
"Batman and Robin! Is there anything wrong?" She exclaimed.
Her big green eyes met her hero's dark brooding eyes and she blushed involuntarily.
Her thoughts went back to recent events and their escapade in Londinium, and their oh so near consummation in the dungeon of Lord Ffogg.
She wondered if he had any notion her alter ego was Batgirl.
His tall and muscular physique really did things to her and she couldn't hide her lengthy stare at the huge package in his navy trunks.
"Miss Gordon, we were expecting to meet the Commissioner for a meeting."
"That's strange, I've been waiting here myself. its unlike him not to call."
The phone rang even as she spoke and Batman answered.
"Yes, right, I see. I'll be right there."
Barbara and Robin both looked at the crime fighter wide eyed.
"It seems the Commissioner has fallen foul of the Queen of Diamonds, she has him in her clutches."
"WHAT! My Fath...Commissioner Gordon, held by that foul tempest!" Barbara held her fist to her mouth and began to sob.
"Holy hypnotism, what do we do Batman?" Robin the Boy Wonder hovered on tiptoe excitedly as he waited for a response.
"First I want you to return to the Bat Cave for that special parcel, while I go visit this woman at once. Miss Gordon...oh, she left."
"Wow, just like Batgirl."
Batman paused in thought, just like Batgirl indeed.

Barbara had hurried back to her modest townhouse near the trendy Park Ridge area and had already transformed into her secret identity Batgirl and was speeding to the home of Marsha on her Bat Cycle.
On arrival she parked the purple Yamaha and burst into the bedroom of the self styled Queen without ceremony.
With hands on hips, legs apart and nostrils flared she confronted the dastardly female villain.
"What have you done with the Commissioner!" She demanded.
"My, my, a female bat, how quaint! And quite irrelevant. Goodnight dearie."
The purple vision clamped her gloved hand to her neck as a knock out dart pierced her skin. She slumped to the floor in a heap and Marsha summoned her servant to take her away.
"I will deal with her later, Batman will be here shortly."
Barely a moment later Batman entered and moved with caution into the sweet smelling boudoir.
Her plan was working, she would hypnotise the Caped Crusader, marry him and then she would find the Bat Cave and the Bat diamond.
"Welcome my darling, come sit by me and have a little chat." She stretched out on the bed and flashed her big eyes at the untruder.
"We have nothing to discuss, just show me to the Commissioner."
"Do you not find me attractive?"
Batman took a moment to take in the glamorous beauty.
"Never mind your wily ways and scheming, I represent the even handed resolve of decency. Now lets not waste any more time."
"By all that shines and sparkles, are all the local men simply very boring?
Oh well tut, tut."
With a flick of her wrist Cupid fired again and Batman fell down like a sack of potatoes.
"Hmm, I have a strange notion to test my potion and cause a commotion with Batman and Batgirl.
Hah, I'm so wicked!"
Marsha looked down on the unmoving man.
