Human beings have that one bit of grace that sustains us all. We adapt. We adapt hard. We adapt to the unadaptable.

Loki raised an eyebrow. “Interesting that you have no time for rambling, and yet you were doing so,” he said. “I hadn’t even spoken yet before that delightful little spiel.” He gave a little shrug. “I saw someone trying to break into my office at the Daily Bugle, and before you ask, no, they didn’t work there.”

                       rambling ?? the detective pondered for a moment --- as far as she was aware , there was no r a m b l i n g in her explanation . a warning , maybe , but a ramble ?? nah . either way , barbara chose to drop the subject . “ i see . well --- do you have any evidence caught on tape ?? or at least were you able to see the person’s face before they left ?? as a matter of fact any information will do . ”

“I’ll be brief, Detective Gordon,” Maggie assured the officer. “I’ve just heard from the morgue. The body that patrol found a few days ago is a match for your open Missing Persons. Dale Perth - that dentist who stopped going to work?” Maggie shrugged. “COD is asphyxiation - looks like he hung himself.” 

        “ oh ?? well , that’s ... interesting . ” folding both arms over her chest , the redhead’s gaze seem to drift towards the ground as she put herself in thought . “ ... any chance i can get my hands on the results of the autopsy ?? ” barbara questioned , looking up at maggie once more . “ is his family aware of his whereabouts already ?? he has a daughter i believe -- a little girl actually . we might want to get our hands on some therapeutic assistance for the family , no child wants to know their father hung himself if that’s the case . ”

         “ thank you barbara. ”

    the taller woman gave the redhead a smile in gratitude before taking the     documents from her. she flipped through them quickly – making sure everything     was accounted for. it’s not that she didn’t trust barbara to have everything      completed, because the redhead was probably one of the most dedicated people     she had ever met, it was just a force of habit.

          “ no no - not at all - completely on schedule. i’ve been well. yourself? ”

“ nothing to thank me for , it’s my job . ”

&& surprisingly , the only thing that made her feel any close to relaxed nowadays ---- while most people seemed to find work to be a frustrating thing , barbara didn’t want to picture herself without it . plus , she knew she was one of the most hard-working people in this department . what would the city do without her ?? && the others , of course . with a small shrug of her pale shoulders , the redhead turned her attention to the woman once more . 

“ i’ve been good --- doing my job , helping people stay safe && babysitting cops , which isn’t something i signed up for but somebody has to do it . may i interest you in some coffee ?? ”

      “ i was here to ask if you had finished the paperwork for the case. and if not,         if you needed any help sorting out a few details. ”

           “ done && ready to go . ”  reaching into the brown-colored folder , barbara picks out a few documents && hands it to the brunette , a small smile forming on her lips . was it bad that she was proud of herself ??  “ hope i didn’t make you wait for too long ; how have you been , diana ?? ”

[vespertiliocorde-blog]

       “ look --- i’m kind of in the middle of something really important right now ; work stuff , as in no time for rambling . ” pale hands close a notebook , placing it over a folder that rested on her lap , a rather UNAMUSED expression on barbara’s face . “ but i’m listening . what happened ?? ”

The sky is the limit when you’re young - you have your whole life ahead of you and the possibilities are endless. If you believe in yourself and you believe that you have the skills, power, and ability to accomplish your dreams, you can! It’s merely a matter of sticking with it and not letting anybody tell you “no” and not thinking less of yourself.

The place was crowded, not that much for not being able to move freely but it was enough for him to feel a little annoyed. The chatter was bouncing against the walls and mixing together, making it seem like gibberish. And with a cup of coffee in his hand, it had felt like he’d been in line longer than he inteded for just a packs of sugar. 

It was when he realized that a readheaded girl in front of him, had been unmoving. “Are you trying to pick between brands of sugar?” Jason asked, and sighed as the girl seemed to snap of some sort of daydream. He didn’t see the point of repeating himself. “You’re in the way– And you’re kinda half this place seems to like their coffee unsweetened or else this line would’ve been of thirty complaining people, instead of just two… Or one.”

[vespertiliocorde-blog]

   the redhead instantly snatched a small pack of sugar in her hand , a somewhat embarrassed && yet smug smile on her lips . “ got it , sorry . ” barbara apologized , stepping aside so that the line would continue to move . the last thing she wanted was to deal with some sort of HAVOC caused by her daydream ---- which wasn’t even a dream in the first place . maybe she should see someone , talk to someone about it , but who ??

    “ good thing complaining people doesn’t bother me --- i’ve learned to deal with that kind .” she pointed out , adding the sugar to her drink && carefully mixing it up . “ nevertheless , you sound more POLITE than most people would be in a situation like this . that’s refreshing . extremely patient or can’t be bothered ?? ”

      “— Save me the whole you should’ve been more careful schtick, would you? it’s barely even a scratch.” dick muttered as soon as he heard the unmistakable creak of the door behind him. the officer didn’t even bother looking up from the wound on his arm as he spoke, knowing it had to be one of his coworkers coming to tell him he needed to stop being so reckless with his own life. as if he hadn’t heard that one before. “you should see the other guy,” came his next response, on the back of a wince thanks to the antiseptic in his grasp. “actually, you can. he’s down in lock-up.” 

[vespertiliocorde-blog]

                   “ true --- it’s a cut . ” her voice echoed , a rather unimpressed look on her pale face . “ you should get that stitched up , you know . the antiseptic might clean it but it’s still prone to an infection . ” at least his carelessness gave her the opportunity to make a smart comment ; it always did . folding both arms over her chest , barbara sat down in an armchair that seemed comfortable enough for her aching back . so much for a SLEEPLESS night . “ i will . is it the same guy from two weeks ago ?? someone should start charging him for spending so much time here --- maybe that would knock some sense in his head . ”

                   her gaze was intent , F R O Z E N , as if she was watching something , waiting for something . a cup of coffee rested between her soft palms , the warmth coming from it was relaxing , soothing . once again , barbara found herself thinking about her nights --- the S L E E P L E S S nights , && the unpleasing thoughts that resulted in a more than unhealthy routine .

                  if it hadn’t been for the sound of another person’s voice , the redhead surely wouldn’t have snapped back to reality so quickly . at the same time , she was glad to have something else to focus on --- something probably less P A I N F U L . “ uh ... i’m sorry , what did you say ?? ” she questioned , brushing curls of scarlet hair behind pale ears while straightening her posture .

barbara remembers sneaking in and out of her residence during night time --- particularly when comissioner gordon has already gone to bed. she doesn’t know what for, but she remembers returning home only a few minutes before dawn, sometimes with bruises on her skin.
