“Can I help you?”

“Hello, Prophet. My name is Oracle and I have a job for you. Should be a cakewalk if your abilities match the scuttlebutt about you. Interested?”

#leeurbaneverett #//Hi!#//Thank YOU for making a starter

“TV binges. I’ve been doing that. Some of the things I’ve seen are rather interesting.” By Rao Kara, can you sound any weirder?’ Probably. “But I want to know earlier earth stuff. History and the such. Can’t really get that from television, right?”

She stopped herself before becoming even more of a weirdo in front of the other. Which was a really hard thing to do for Kara. She took the offered book in her hands and chuckled nervously. “Thank you for your help. I- uh- will go read this in a secluded corner like the bumbling idiot I am.”

Babs chuckled. "Interesting is one way to describe them...” Though it said nothing about if the girl actually liked anything that she’d watched.

"I'm getting no idiot readings at all, I promise." Babs smiled reassuringly. "If you need help or more recommendations, don't hesitate to ask. I'll at least know the right books to point you towards for the answer." She offered the girl her hand. "I'm Barbara, by the way."

“Just general early earth culture. All and any books you have in the subject. The more detailed the better. I’m doing a project for school. Yup that’s it. Totally not because I’m an alien from outer space that needs to assimilate to Earth’s culture and history. Nope.”

“Well if you were an alien trying to assimilate I’d say you’d do better to start with a few TV binges. Then work backwards.” Babs laughed. There was no way this girl was an alien. Right? Then again, Superman was an alien...but her danger senses weren’t going off so she’d just do her job.

“But if this is for a project I’d go with this one. Don’t be fooled by the title, A Brief History of the World is hardly brief.” Babs pulled the book off the shelf and offered it to the girl. “And if you can reach that one with the yellow cover, it covers women through the ages specifically. I thought it was fascinating. There’s also one around here that just focuses on the development of warfare. A little gruesome but well researched. Should be on the fifth shelf up, brown leather cover and pretty worn.”

“Hello! Oh you can. I’m looking for books in early earth culture. Where can I find those?”

theeyeofthebat

“The most detailed ones would be in our Anthropology section. I can show you where it is.” It would be nice to get out from behind the desk. “Is there a particular facet of early earth culture? Or just a survey?”

“I appreciate it but no- just a lot of goons out and about,” Dinah collapsed into the chair with a happy sigh, “What I need is a vacation.”

“You could take a day off. Even two. I can almost guarantee the world won’t end and there are plenty hands to pick up the slack.” Babs took a bite out of a spring roll. “Go somewhere sunny and drink something fruity?”

#prettybirdstheword

“It is most definitely a visit. And I will take that beer you’re offering, thank you very much. I could definitely use it.”

theeyeofthebat

"Rough day?” Babs cleared off a chair, then wheeled over to the fridge to grab the beers and a box of spring rolls. “Do I need to wreck someone’s motherboard?”

#prettybirdstheword

“Oh my gosh, you’re Harrison Wells. THE Harrison Wells. Hi! I- Sorry. I think your work with the particle accelerator was a brilliant idea. I wish it had worked out for you.”

“Sorry. Probably not something you want to be reminded of. I let my mouth get away from me sometimes.”

Babs wheeled herself out of the police station and into the chilly night air.

Winter was definitely settling into Gotham like an unwelcome house guest. The change in air pressure made her spine ache. Last winter she’d been indoors the whole time still recovering from…..it. First time her Dad voluntarily took time off work that she could remember….

By now they were essentially back to their normal routines. He’d be up all night working, so she brought him dinner. Heaps of chicken curry to keep him going better than bad coffee and stale donuts. Her police scanner hadn’t been quiet for more than a minute all day today, so she brought a few extra helpings too. Make sure Bullock ate something. And Montoya if she was still on duty.

Once the food was delivered and she made sure her Dad actually started eating, she left. That was when the different routines started.

Instead of pulling on her cloak and cowl and hitting the streets herself, Babs would head home and settle down in front of her bank of computer screens to help where she could.

On a chilly night like this, part of her didn’t mind getting to stay indoors.

It was a block later, halfway to her apartment that she was aware someone was behind her. Maybe twenty paces. Babs kept moving, kept calm. It wasn’t like she was unarmed. Escrima sticks hidden along the arms of her chair, Batarangs in every accessible crevice she could imagine, and if it came down to it there was always the thirty-eight special her father insisted she kept tucked in her purse.

Barbara Gordon would never let herself be helpless.

Once her follower had closed the distance between them to ten paces or so, Babs whirled around in a practiced maneuver. If she timed it right, she’d be in the shadows and they’d be at least partially lit by the streetlamp.

“What do you want?” Her voice was low, even, and rang of mild annoyance instead of fear.

“Hey there. Can I help you find something?”

#maidencfmight #//introductions #//Hi! Babs is working at the library right now

“Can’t a girl come and visit her best friend?”

theeyeofthebat

“Yes! Always. Of course you can. But help and visit are different. Help means I fix this mess as fast as possible. Visit means I instead tell you that the fridge is full of beer and food, and you can help yourself.”

Private messaging theeyeofthebat…

[StealthySprite]: Hey you, my level 25 rogue could totally use some help in this next dungeon, you up for slaying some baddies?

theeyeofthebat

[WheelingWonder]: Yeah! Things have been a little crazy tonight so I might have to go afk once or twice. Shouldn’t be bad though. And my paladin just got a blessed shield that should be sweeeeeet against any hellspawn.

dontcallmekatzchen

[StealthySprite]: Let me guess, family problems keeping you from your gaming? I mean, it’s no big deal, coz I know what that’s like. Not to worry, if you afk just let me know, I think I might have a summoning skill up my sleeve somewhere, it should help me keep you defended. Total role reversal, amirite? ;P

theeyeofthebat

[WheelingWonder]: You nailed it. I mean, it's not usually bad stuff. They're just all a little crazy. But ha! Total role reversal. It'd probably be good for our gaming, but I'm pretty attached to how look with a shield. And logged onto the server, let's slay some evil!
