22	''[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/17243 Girls' Night Out]]'' is an ongoing {{fanfic}} series by {{Tropers/Chellerrific}} based in the universe of Greg Weisman's and Brandon Vietti's ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' cartoon. The first story in the series, ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/373053/chapters/608063 Hunter & Hunted]]'', focuses on [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Barbara Gordon and Bette Kane]] when they, for their own individual reasons, decide to become superheroes (as you do). An {{interquel}} focusing on [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Karen Beecher]] and [[Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} Kara Kent]], ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/381303/chapters/623151 Takeoffs & Landings]]'', followed. At least two more stories (probably more) are planned.

66	%%* LovelyAngels: Barbara and Bette, Karen and Kara.
67	* TheManBehindTheMan: In the first story, Barbara starts out chasing Arthur Brown. She quickly identifies him as an underling of [[TheGunslinger Floyd Lawton]], who is in turn nothing more than a chess piece of [[spoiler:[[PsychopathicManchild Harley Quinn]]]]'s.
68	** In the second, [[spoiler:Karen and Kara are given an ultimatum by [[SmugSnake Neal Emerson]]. Upon confronting him, they find themselves in a showdown with [[OutlawCouple Knockout and Scandal Savage]]]].

83	* ShipperOnDeck: Bette for Barbara and Dick.
84	%%* SmugSnake: Neal Emerson.
85	%%* TechnoWizard: Dick, of course, and Barbara takes full advantage of that, though she's starting to pick up on a few things herself.
86	* TeenGenius: While other characters are debatable, Barbara and Karen both are without question.
87	* UnderestimatingBadassery: What Barbara counts on as her secret weapon. (It works... more or less.)
