[Barbara looks exhausted, but if anything, the light in her eyes is fiercer than ever. She was thrown some curve balls, sure, but nothing that could crush her.

She's becoming inured to trauma, she thinks. She's not sure how to feel about that.

Her voice is a bit dull when she speaks, thick with deep weariness and deeper aches, but it's steady.]

If you know me at all, please check in.

[The worst part, really, was what she couldn't see. She hadn't contacted anybody, save her hijack of Iris' call, and it ate at her, what the people she loved might be facing.

She needs to know they're all right.]

[A smile spreads across her face, warm and fond.]

Glad to hear it.

[ Seeing her smiling face, he couldn't turn the video on for her. He didn't want her to see him in the shape he's in. He's not so much beat up as covered in the blood of other things.]

It's good to see you can smile. Don't let go of that for anything.

[Her voice lowers.] Someone tried to take it from me, once. I won't let that happen.

How are you? [Her eyebrows arch.] And no bullshitting me. I can smell that a mile off.

Smiling more sticks it to them then. Good job.

I've been better, but I'll live. See no bullshitting, A wise man I know told me what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

Good words to live by.

If you need company, or anything...well, I probably won't be moving very fast for a while.

I should probably be alone for awhile, I'm not really feelin' up to company. Are you gonna be okay?
