[Byron Gordon does, of course, look notably different from Barbara Gordon, but there are certain striking similarities; the piercing blue of his eyes, the red waves of his hair. He carries himself with the same quiet confidence, although he seems a bit more relaxed.

He doesn't look particularly fussed over the flood. As the Barge goes, this is all very tame.]

For any of the new women who need clothes - my counterpart has plenty. [Insert sizes here, because all I know is she's 5'11.]

I've got some male clothes, too. [Insert Dick Grayson's sizes here.] He's a nice guy, he wouldn't mind.

[Private to...his Inmate]

Are you the Emperor or the Empress?

Two. [Interesting.] Can I ask how you decided?

[It seems like - random variation, inevitable discrepancies. Except that so much, with barge counterparts, holds steady, improbably resonant.]

I was crashing. Zane thought it would help. A sign that I was trying.

...So Zane convinced you. [His gaze shifts, slightly, becomes more piercing.]

He asked.

Convince implies it took persuasion.

Do you think she regrets it?

[Quiet, this. He doesn't - not quite, not really, not given the inevitable alternative. But he resents it a great deal, struggles with the consequences, is bitter in a way he tries not to let anyone see, but Babs probably has. Certainly in the aftermath of burning his room, the sheer exposure - and his listlessness about requesting a new one - must have tipped her off, even if she's been kind enough not to press it. Perhaps hoping, as he has hoped, that he'll adjust.]
