## Plot

On Saturday at home, Babs was just laying around watching TV until suddenly she heard a thump that was coming from her room. She thinks there's a burglar in her house, so she turns off the light and fights the intruder until she realizes it's Shiera Sanders. Babs apologized and she asked Shiera how'd she get in her room, and she replies that she was thrown directly at the window while fighting Giganta. Babs noticed that she's has wings on her back and has mace, and discovers that she is Hawkgirl. Both girls then hear Giganta looking for Hawkgirl, and as she walks away, Babs asks Shiera what she's doing here. Shiera told Babs that she quited from being a musician and becoming a superhero by beating baddies up with her combat, demonstrates Babs her combat of punching and kicking, and even told her about Carter Hall having a crush on her.

Babs decided to help Shiera by taking her to the gym center, which was empty. But they don't care and start training. Shiera starts punching a punching bag, knocking down dummies, and lifting weights. And the last practice is punch a wall. Babs asks her if she's really sure about this, and Shiera is positive that she is. Shiera punched the wall into a rubble. Babs and Shiera are shocked, even Shiera admits she didn't know she could actually do that, but it was worth it. Then they go to the Metropolis Fair, where they participate in a pie festival until Doris showed up ruining people's fun by destroying their pies. Doris confronts Shiera, and tries to intimidate her. But Shiera is not intimidated and asks how many lumps she has. Doris smiled telling her "just one". Shiera shouts "One lump, coming up!" as she ran headed towards Doris and punched her silly right in the chin, knocking her. Shiera and Babs retire victorious from the fair, when Doris then comes to her senses and, angry at that humiliation, becomes Giganta.

At the neighborhood, Shiera felt great and thanked Babs for the training. Out of nowhere, Giganta came out of nowhere, looking for Shiera. Babs and Shiera assume their hero forms, and fight Giganta. Hawkgirl fights Giganta using what she learned in combat, while Batgirl strategizes on Giganta, and both heroines defeat her. Hawkgirl is quick to notice Batgirl's fighting style, and is soon shocked to learn that Babs is Batgirl. Hawkgirl asks her new friend if she's Batgirl, and when she sheepishly says "yes?", Hawkgirl squeals with excitement declaring that she got the chance to team up with Batgirl. Batgirl asks Hawkgirl if she knows her, and Hawkgirl tells "Know you? You're the one from the Super Hero Girls!" Suddenly, Batgirl has an idea and asks Hawkgirl if she wants to join her team, and she quickly says she's in. Finally, when they assume their civil form, Shiera invites Babs get some ice cream at her house, Babs accepts and asks if her mom is home by any chance, Shiera tells her that she doesn't have parents. As Shiera gave Babs a piggyback ride home, Hawkman hid behind the tree and smiled, thanking Babs.
