[Here is Barbara, looking distinctly irritated. There are dark circles under her eyes, and her hair is a mess. It's clear she's been paying far more attention to work than herself, and that she's in absolutely no mood.]

You know, it'd be nice if he got specific for once. "A problem". What kind of problem? What glitch, exactly, makes people able to communicate with us across time and space? Why can't we do this on a regular basis?

[Her voice is just dripping with disdain, now.] Should I even assume he knows?

[She takes a moment, reigns in the jagged aggravation.]

Any of you looking for answers - I'm sorry, but I can't give you any. I don't know why you can communicate with us. I don't know how it works. I don't know if you'll even remember this later.

We're a cross-dimensional rehabilitation facility. Our Admiral is staggeringly incompetent.

((Completely open to Fourth Wall shenanigans! Don't mind her she's had a rough week.))

We did and I think out of our dysfuntcional little family, you're the only one who really gets why I took on this new role. You, me, and countless others still remain unavenged.

[It takes a moment for that to sink in, and then...she just closes her eyes. When she speaks, it's very quiet.]

Yeah. Yeah, I get it.

[crossestheline]

At least in our world, sounds like the Bruce on the ship with you has been busy.

[Unlike the rest of the Batclan, Jason sounds pleased, proud even.]

[Barbara looks up, her gaze hard and sad.]

Would you kill Poison Ivy? Harley Quinn?

[crossestheline]

Can't think of any reason why I wouldn't. They each have body count totals that would make Ted Bundy feel like a slacker.

[bodilesswarrior]

They've saved people, too.

And Harley - she's his victim too, Jason. [Not entirely - Harley makes her own choices, and maybe she'd have turned down a dark path anyway. But they'll never know.]

[crossestheline]

The thing is, they're not killers like me. I only kill the bad guys, they murder innocent people.

[His voice isn't filled with the usual disregard he has for the people he kills. He doesn't want to admit it but what she said about Harley also being a victim struck a chord with him.]

[bodilesswarrior]

[She can hear that, and her voice softens.] How are we defining 'bad guy'?
