[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.]

Iris, Deadpool and Davros. You?

[silvestris]

Rhade, Mark the shrink.

[And Felix and Racetrack but Selina doesn't know them as well.]

I just worry about whoever was out with Bruce. Just between us girls.

private;

[bodilesswarrior]

I don't. Bruce would die before he let another death fall on his shoulders.

Not that it would actually be his fault, but - well. Bruce.

private;

[silvestris]

So you see why I worry. [She hates worrying. It feels unnatural.]

I don't know how you all do this.

private;

[bodilesswarrior]

I hate to say you get used to it, but - it does get easier to deal with.

It helps knowing how ridiculously competent he is. [...] When it comes to the field, anyway.

[silvestris]

[She laughs because the qualifying statements that go with Bruce are always hilarious. And accurate.]

He's lucky to have level-headed sidekicks. Or should I call you a shepherd?

private;

[bodilesswarrior]

[She grins.]

I definitely like 'shepherd' better. [She was never a sidekick, not really.]

[silvestris]

What will you do when I'm hanging around Wayne Manor scratching the drapes?

[She's hoping for quality girl time :| ]

private;

[bodilesswarrior]

[Dead straight.] Spray bottle.

[But then she's grinning again.] Gotta say, I haven't had many nights on the town lately.

private;

[silvestris]

And you've never had one like mine. It's not about thievery for me...

[Come with her, Barbara, come with herrrr]

private;

[bodilesswarrior]

Well, turns out I can scale rooftops.

private;

[silvestris]

And I don't need to ask if you can deliver poetic justice with a solid punch...

[Because that is mostly what Selina enjoys: not jewel heists, but beating the living hell out of men who try to mug women.]

Mmmn, now you've made me homesick.

private;

[bodilesswarrior]

I'm at a perfect height now, too.

...You know, Iris wants to visit Gotham.

private;

[silvestris]

Come with me when I graduate. We'll surprise Bruce.

private;

[bodilesswarrior]

[A delighted, rather proud smile curves her lips.] Sounds like a plan.
