76,13 - Like a warped memory

[ Audio ]

I know Dick sent out the call already, but I'm asking again, nicely. If anyone at all is willing to help these people, please. Let us know. Keep in touch. We have to work together. If you don't want to help, just... be safe.

[ Private to All Friends ]

Please check in, whenever you can, often as you can. I don't want to lose anyone here. [ Not here, not like this. ]

[ Private to Wanda ]

Look, this... this isn't my Gotham. But the layout is pretty much the same, and I still have to help these people. You're welcome to come with me or go on your own, but I have to do this. I want you to check in, at least twice a day. Noon and midnight works. If you get in trouble I want you to get to the top of Wayne Tower. If you can't get to the top, hide near the bottom. If I don't hear from you I'll check on you there. Got that?

Don't forget to chew. [Smirks as he catches the eggo dangling out of her mouth. He had already deactivated all of the security devices and traps he set up earlier, he lets her take care of the whole vanishing without a trace aspect.]

You and half of the Barge.

And thanks. [His smirk turns into a smile.] It feels really...good to be able to use my powers in this way. Helping people rather than destroying things or hunting people down. [For the most part, anyway.]

We'll call it a vacation. Should make the load lighter in the cafeteria, at least.

[ She appears to be chewing now, as the eggo shrink away into her mouth. This is a long mastered skill. ]

Helping people for the sake of helping people is nice. Makes you feel good about yourself.

Silver lining, right? [Gets up from the couch and peeks out the window, through the curtains.]

It does. There are a lot of people who need help too. On the plus side, I do think our arrival here has helped out quite a bit.

Small favors.

[ ALL DONE NOW. ]

I can't help but wonders what happens when we leave.

They'll find a way. The Gotham you knew started to recover from that gang war. If we can take out most of the big-bads while we're here, I suspect the same will be true of this city. Not to mention they don't know where they came from or that you're not the Batgirl of this city. The reenforcements probably has them panicking.

It's just. I checked on my mom, and the others. Nobody knows where they went. What if they aren't coming back?

[Gently.] She's like your mom but she isn't your mom. If they aren't coming back then they've probably found a new home to live in. I can't say I blame them, not everyone can do what you guys do.

It's not just her! Dick, Babs, Tim... if they've given up, I don't know if Gotham can survive.

The city might not survive but the people in it can. They can find a new, safer place to live. [It doesn't make much sense to him that anyone would even want to live in this place to begin with. Though he suspects if had actually had a childhood and grown up in a place he called home, he'd have a better understanding.]

Isn't that what's important?

Yeah. [ She takes a deep breath. ]

Yeah. We just have to get as many people out as we can. [ Because she suspects, if they aren't coming back? It's because they're dead. ]

[Moves over to her and gently cups her face in his hands.] You've already done a lot of good and we'll do a lot more good before we leave. I wouldn't be surprised if all of our combined efforts get everyone out.

[ She gives him a small but genuine smile. ]

Then we'd better get to it, huh?

[Kisses her for several long seconds before he steps away and heads to the door.]

Let's. Now that you've had your coffee, I bet you're ready to take on the world. [Grins at her.]

[ She grins back. ]

Or two or three.
