[Life is sacred. It's not as personal to her, as it is to Cass, and maybe that's why considering exceptions doesn't feel like tearing her soul apart. Barbara holds her with tender fervour, as if she could stop her spirit from shattering with force of love and will.

I know. [It's a ragged whisper.] It feels like you're betraying everything you're supposed to be, just because of how much you're hurting.
[She's always held that taking a life should be a rational decision. The last resort. She could justify killing Black Mask as saving lives. But it would still come down to vengeance, wouldn't it? To seeing Spoiler (Robin), battered and broken on that roof. Reading an autopsy report detailing every sick, hideous thing her did to her.
She doesn't think that would stop her, not if they were face to face.]
If it comes to that. Somehow. [If Black Mask ends up here, or someone like him.] Stopping me means saving a life. Focus on that.
