Batgirl knelt on the roof of a row of shops and watched the Plaza of Olympus in Caesars' Palace Forum. Occasionally she glanced up at the actual roof above her. It was more than a little odd for a Gotham girl to be on a false roof under a real one, but the shopping centers on the Strip were designed that way.
Once she was on the false roof Batgirl knew she was in a security blind spot, but it had taken hours to find a way up.
Now she stared down at the Golden Thunderbolt of Zeus and waited. Batgirl did have to admit that a six foot tall golden lightning bolt was impressive, more so in the dramatic lighting of its display. Tourists stopped and snapped pictures before scuttling off to shop for luxury brands and designer apparel.
Sometimes Batgirl scanned the crowd for her backup. Caesars' Palace was advertising a three night event with Zatanna starting soon and Batgirl had made a call to alert the older heroine that there might be trouble.
And there was trouble now. A dozen men in togas with spears lead by a gray haired man in a purple toga and a crown of golden laurels. They might have been part of a show. If Batgirl hadn't spotted the Tasers built into the spears when she ran her binoculars over them.
There were a lot more thugs than she had expected.
"Fear not citizens of Rome," declared Maxie Zeus in a rolling voice. "You have worshipped me well as Jupiter and I bear you no wrath. I come only for what is rightfully mine."
"Sekans rebbur ot sraeps!" shouted a voice from the crowd around the spear. "Raeppa emutsoc!"
The toga clad men stared at the six foot rubber snakes that flopped over their wrists. Closer to the spear the crowd parted to reveal a well-endowed woman with curly black hair in top hat, tuxedo, and fishnet stockings. A few broken into applause at the appearance of Zatanna. Maxie Zeus ran for the spear and reached into a pouch at his waist.
"Foul Hecate you will not deny me," yelled the man who would be king of the gods.
Batgirl's grapple bit into the ceiling. Without a thought to her own safety the heroine swung out over the crowd, released the hook, and landed on her own two feet between Maxie Zeus and his prize.
"Give up now," said Batgirl. "You know you're playing way out of your league."
"Snoog pu eit sekans," added Zatanna as she sauntered over on her high heels. Behind her the rubber snakes elongated and wrapped around Zeus's men. "Good to see you Batgirl. Thanks for the tip."
Maxie Zeus through a handful of pink glass balls at the heroines and roared, "Harpies the fruit of Demeter and Phobos child will undo you!"
Striking the ground and display case the globes shattered. Pink dust puffed out coating Batgirl, Zatanna, and several members of the crowd. The dust didn't sting or burn. However Batgirl was experienced enough to suspect what it might do.
But first she needed to put down Maxie Zeus. A quick punch to the stomach doubled him over. Her knee caught him in the face and sent the madman reeling. Reaching out she grabbed an arm, flipped him over her hip, and left Maxie Zeus sprawled and in pain before the spear.
By now security began pushing its way through the crowd.
Batgirl turned to Zatanna. She looked at those breasts almost as big as her head. She wondered what they would feel like in her mouth.
She shook her head. Time for that latter. "We need to get everyone exposed to the dust out of here. Somewhere private."
"Etius ot tsud fo smitciv." Intoned the taller woman.
The whole world twitched and the heroines found themselves and four other people in a lavish hotel room. There was a king sized bed, two sofas, a bar with stools, and a gigantic window with a view of the Las Vegas Strip.
Zatanna smiled at the group. "This is my room. Anyone care for a drink?"
