[Barbara is sitting in her wheelchair, hands folded in her lap as she smiles wryly at the camera.]

Hey there, Barge. You've got another Warden. My name is Barbara.

Nice to meet all of you.

[Her smile fades as she leans forward, just slightly.]

I know a lot of you aren't here by choice. If it were up to me – [she shakes her head] - but it's not. We're all working with what we have.

That's no reason not to take the chance now that you've got it. A lot of people don't. And I'm here to help with that, if you'll let me.

[She leans back again, arching her eyebrows.]

So – these headaches. Is this a normal thing around here?

((Hell yes she's affected.))

Not really. I think he enjoys them.

[Her expression turns sympathetic. She'd have gone for the fine routine too, if she could.]

"Could be worse" might sound not sound like much of a mantra, but it's gotten me through some tough times.

[The drink in front of Faith is pretty strong... but only by human standsards. She's not drinking to get drunk tonight. Just trying to steady the nerves.]

Story of my life. I'll get over it. [ That, at least, is true. ]

So, uh, I know I said I didn't care if you were a bit behind the times, but how exactly far behind are you? Because I had to explain some things when Dick got here and it kinda sucked.

How many of those people are here?

Here I thought there weren't other options.

[It doesn't take Barbara all that long to find her way to the pub, though she makes a note to memorise the Barge's layout sooner rather than later.

Her eyes scan the room automatically before settling on Faith, and she wheels over with a quiet word.]

Hey.

I don't doubt it. [If nothing else, the girl's determined. Barbara always liked that about her.]

How long ago did the Joker break out of the Slab?

[She met the other Barbara here too. She eyes the woman a moment.

Then slides over a pepsi.]

I couldn't tell you yet, but you'd think the Admiral could find them with the multiverse at his fingertips.

Um. I'd have to check my calendar. How long had I been Spoiler?

[Barbara smiles her thanks as she accepts it.]

Nice to meet you in person, Faith.

You'd think. But then, you'd think a lot of things about him.

Sure thing...

About three years, despite all of Batman's protests. [Yeah, there's definitely pride in that smile.]

[ She can't help but grin. Heck yeah despite all of Batman's protests. ]

It's been a few years, then. I'm Batgirl now.

[...Okay, she wasn't expecting that. She stares for a second, and the first thing she can even think of to say is - ]

...Cass?

She's fine! [ Because she can imagine what that must imply, that Steph has taken her place. ]

She's operating in Hong Kong now. It's a really long story. [ And she's picking her words carefully, because she doesn't really want to try to get into everything on Babs' first day, when there's a flood on and it's hard to soften the blows. ]

Yes and no.

[How do approach. He is pinching the bridge of his nose and - fuck it he will do this for everyone from now on.]

Do you know me?

[Her warm, relieved smile is probably answer enough.]

Hello, Tim.

[She breathes.

The relief is clear in her face, and now she can move on to being curious.]

Hong Kong. That's....

[Random.]

So - she gave you the suit?

[The girls have been seeing more of each other. It wouldn't surprise Barbara, to hear they become close. Cass could use a real friend.]

Yup. [ And she did wash it, for the record. ] And then you made my new one. So thanks for that.

[That settles most of Barbara's doubts on its own. If Cass trusts Stephanie with the Bat, anyone should.]

You'll have to model it for me.

[.......huh.]

Sounds like you're up to speed on the flood situation, so there's not much else for me to do right now besides welcome you to the Barge.

My name's Sara Pezzini; I've been a Warden around five months. Good to have you on board, Barbara.

[Also I'm dating your ex and I probably know more about you than you'd like me to? Maybe work up to that later. Muuuuuch later.]

[Yes, yes it is, but now he has more questions.]

Hi, Babs. What's the last thing you remember?

Any time. You did a great job on the design.
