I hope you know what you're doing. I've got better things to do than babysit.

Just make sure you're ready before you get in over your head.

I don't think they're ever ready, to be honest.

That's what I'm afraid of. At least I'm the one in danger here.

You do have the whole 'badassery and experience' thing going for you in the survival department.

[ A small smile. ]

I'd have to, to wear this uniform and still be alive. I think that may be the source of the problem.

[ Score! ]

Well, y'know, with great power comes great responsibility, with great spandex comes great problems, and all that.

[ Aaaaand an eyebrow quirk. ]

I really hope yours is made of more than just spandex.

It is. No worries.

It also helps with that being alive thing you mentioned.

I didn't think Batman would let you out on the streets in anything less.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, Kate. Muns aren't too fond of being babysat. Worst case scenario, they'll just forget about you.

That sounds more like a best case scenario to me, Nightwing. This kid's got too much on her plate, and I never do a job halfway.

I guess it's kind of subjective, huh? I mean, here I get to see Starfire again and get my mind off of Bludhaven for a bit.

Heh, yeah, I know. You wouldn't be part of the Bat-Family if you left things half-done.

Nobody around for me to meet up with.

[ She raises an eyebrow. ] I didn't realize I was considered a part of the family.

Who knows, maybe you'll meet someone new?

[Dick snickers a bit.] You really think Batman would let you wear his symbol if he didn't think you were worth it? Part of the whole point of Batman being Batman is the brand recognition. Y'know, serving as a deterrent.

He's kinda picky about who he lets wear it. And, once you're allowed to, you're family. Face it. You're stuck with us.

[ Nope, smile gone. ]

Batman doesn't have to "let me" do anything.

[And now Dick just pinches the bridge of his nose.]

It's supposed to be a compliment. And trust me, if he didn't want you being Batwoman, you'd know. But he believes in you. He thinks you've got what it takes to make a difference.

I have to say, you wear that outfit a lot better, girl.

[ Smirk. She may or may not have a pathological need to flirt with any and every Bat okay? ]

They're hardly ever ready in my experience. It's cute that they try though.

I already told him I wasn't joining his little task force.

I'd have to agree, but that's just a case of preference. [ You won't catch her complaining. ]

It's not so cute when their attempts get in the way of the mission. Miss.

You don't have to. If he didn't want you wearing the mask, he would've taken it from you. He extended the offer, it was your decision to turn it down. But don't you dare think for a second you're in it alone. Whether you're aware of it or not, we're watching your back.

You're part of the family, aunt.

In that case, allow me to compliment you on your taste.

[ Oh good, she's had a pretty good track record with the whole Bat-flirting thing so far. Wouldn't want to ruin her streak now, would we? ]

Mission, huh? I suppose the cowl really attracts a certain type. It's Kyle, Selina Kyle.

A few months ago you were flirting with me, and now you're calling me "aunt". It's a scary world we live in.

[ God forbid anything like that happen. ]

Batwoman. A pleasure to meet you, Miss Kyle. What brings you my way tonight?

[ Indeed. She might have to get pouty if it did. ]

I guessed as much. The pleasure is all mine. My mun finds it amusing, despite my protests that I'm not obsessed with "Batpeople."

[He just shrugs.]

Eh, I stopped getting surprised when I started leading a team consisting of a half-man, half-machine, a shape-shifter, and an alien princess.

You wouldn't be alone in that, either way.
