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

=== Provides Examples Of: ===
 
* [[Action Fashionista]]: Bette puts a ''lot'' of effort into getting her costume ''just right''.
* [[Action Girl]]: All the major characters to some degree. Barbara studies judo; Bette is skilled in both gymnastics and aikido and decides to take up kickboxing; Karen doesn't know any specific martial arts, but her suit allows her to engage in direct combat with stronger foes; and Kara, naturally, knows Klurkor.
* [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration]]: Cousins Conner and Kara Kent and their comrade Karen.
* [[Alien Among Us]]: Kara.
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Kara Kent.
Line 19:
* [[Badass Cape]]: Barbara, Bette, and Kara.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Barbara and Bette have no superpowers whatsoever. Karen is a normal human who only has enhancements via her super suit.
* [[Badass Unintentional]]: Sure Karen built the suit, but [[For Science!]], not ass-kicking.
* [[Bare -Fisted Monk]]: Most of the characters prefer to go bare knuckles, at least to start out with; the exceptions are Karen, Lawton, {{spoiler|Harley Quinn}}, and {{spoiler|Scandal Savage}}.
* [[The Bechdel Test]]
* [[Big Eater]]: Kara.
Line 31:
* [[Continuity Cameo]]: Every character named so far exists in or is based on someone from the DCU. Even Stacy the secretary.
* [[Costumed Nonsuper Hero]]: Barbara and Bette.
* [[DaddysDaddy's Girl]]: Barbara decides to take up the mantle of Batgirl expressly for the purpose of helping out her father, Police Commissioner Jim Gordon.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Barbara.
* [[Desperately Looking for Aa Purpose In Life]]: Bette, who seems to cut out mundane things like sleeping, eating, and breathing in order to fit in all her numerous hobbies.
* [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]]: A lot of Barbara's snark flies right over Bette's head.
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: {{spoiler|Scandal Savage}}.
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: How Bette "introduces" herself to Lawton.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Barbara. Definitely more on the rational side but still very passionate and intense.
* [[Flying Brick]]: Kara. Karen's suit puts her a lot closer to this than normal humans generally get.
* [[For Science!]]: Karen's driving focus.
* [[Forgets to Eat]]: Karen's family is so used to her doing this they have steps in place to stop it.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Karen.
* [[Genki Girl]]: Bette. Kara to a lesser extent.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Barbara in particular.
* [[Girls' Night Out Episode]]: Their nights out tend to involve kicking ass and taking names. And sometimes also makeovers.
* [[The Gunslinger]]: Floyd Lawton.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Bette and Kara. DC loves them some blonds.
* [[Healing Factor]]: {{spoiler|Scandal Savage}} and, to a lesser extent, {{spoiler|Knockout}}.
* [[In the Name of Thethe Moon]]: Bette tries, but gets a little tongue-tied.
* [[Intoxication Ensues]]: A side effect of {{spoiler|Harley Quinn}}'s smoke bombs.
* [[Kid Hero]]: Barbara is 13, Bette and Karen are 15, and Kara is (physiologically) 16.
Line 66:
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: By dint of her tragic [[Backstory]], Kara is seriously lacking in the parental department.
* [[Parental Neglect]]: Bette's parents aren't even there to celebrate Christmas with her.
* [[Pop -Cultured Badass]]: Bette and Karen are both tuned-in when it comes to this sort of thing. Bette frequently makes various references and doesn't care if there's anyone around to get them.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Though she is loathe to admit it, Barbara does a lot better once she teams up with Bette.
* [[Psychopathic Womanchild]]: {{spoiler|Harley Quinn}}.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]: Barbara.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Bette and Barbara respectively. Bette even [[Lampshade|lampshades]] this when she suggests making Barbara's costume blue.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Bette for Barbara and Dick.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Neal Emerson.
* [[Techno Wizard]]: Dick, of course, and Barbara takes full advantage of that, though she's starting to pick up on a few things herself.
* [[Teen Genius]]: While other characters are debatable, Barbara and Karen both are without question.
* [[Underestimating Badassery]]: What Barbara counts on as her secret weapon. (It works... more or less.)
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save Thethe World]]: Barbara especially makes sure she still has time for homework.
* [[World of Action Girls]]: Prrretty much.
