It was another night in costume for Barbara, standing on a rooftop with her cape fluttering behind. It made little snapping noises as the wind pulled it taught. Both hands on her hips, creating an image for anyone who might look up. She'd usually use it to scare criminals. Right now she was using herself as a bat signal, though, her eyes looking not for criminals but for her favorite caped crusader.

She'd stay up there for maybe half an hour before getting bored, and taking to the streets - whether he showed up or not . Barbara knew he was around somewhere - in one identity of his or another. She just had to find him.

"You're probably thinking of pops," she offered, trying to hide any discomfort the question caused her. She and Batman... her feelings towards him were completed. No one infuriated her more. No one's opinion - besides her father - mattered to her more.

"You should hear him talking about Bats, sometimes..." She paused. "You know, hew as the one who decided got the police working with Batman."

Steph raised both eyebrows this time, a small smile playing across her lips. Her hands settled on her hips.

"I know. Decades, remember?" She shook her head in her amusement.

"I get it though. It's inspiring, seeing a real hero in person. Even if he does turn out to be an arrogant jackass."

"Maybe half the time," she corrected, a little reluctantly. "Buuut it sounds like mine might be a lot younger." Which was something to consider. If everyone else had taken an age dive...

Sure, Bats had his grumpy moments now, but what was he going to be like in a few decades?

She huffed a sigh. She really shouldn't speak so ill of the dead, but she got the brunt of Bruce's bad side. From what she could tell he treated her worse than he had ever treated any Robin. She was just a bit bitter sometimes, that was all.

"Yeah, he did have his moments. Anyway it doesn't matter. Batman doesn't decide our lives for us. Never has, never will."

The "did" catches her attention for a moment... but then they're past it with the next phrase.

"Hence ignoring his orders half the time." He got pretty stubborn, sometimes. Particularly when he was worried about their safety.

Steph raised her eyebrows mischievously.

"Only half the time?"
