Someone's a little annoyed at her app.

[acro_bat_ic]

So, one minute I'm in the river, and the next I'm drowning in the sea? With demons? ...And pops was worried about me being a police woman.

You know Bats is gonna come after me, right? I mean, I am his one and only sidekick. I even have batgear.


...Had batgear? You're destroying my stuff? That is so not cool!

...Superman? [She's heard about you!]

My Mun is dropping me in the middle of a game.

[big_blue_boyscout]

[Guessing they haven't met on whatever Earth she's from]

She's dropping you in without anything?

[acro_bat_ic]

He's dropping me in with everything.

But the STUPID game breaks all my gear. And robs half my strength.

[big_blue_boyscout]

You've lost me there.

[acro_bat_ic]

Getting dropped in the sea sorta takes a number on your gear.

[big_blue_boyscout]

I've heard it's not exactly the best way to break in a new phone.

[acro_bat_ic]

Or a new batwave.

[big_blue_boyscout]

Ouch.

[Not sure exactly what it is.]

I'm sure Bruce could get you another.

[acro_bat_ic]

[It's the device Bats can use to communicate with her, among other things. Gives her alerts to meet up. A symbol that she's finally in the loop.]

Bruce?

...Wayne? [Bats hasn't exactly opened up to her, as of yet. He's barely accepted her as a partner.]

[big_blue_boyscout]

[Oh. Well. Clark's gone and put his foot in his mouth, now, hasn't he. To try and salvage it, he shakes his head]

No, not Wayne.

[acro_bat_ic]

Good. Made that mistake once already... [She could have sworn she recognized that chin.

But no Batman of hers abandons little kids to villains in a fit of cowardice...]

[big_blue_boyscout]

[Whew. Close one.]

I'm sure he'll tell you sooner or later. Just give him time. It takes him a while to trust anyone.

[If Bruce ever really trusts anyone, that is.]

[acro_bat_ic]

Tell me about it. I had to keep crashing missions just to make him take me as a sidekick... [It wasn't until she saved his butt and the city's that he finally hooked her up with some real bat gear.]

[big_blue_boyscout]

I can see how that got you on his good side.

[Yes. Superman has a sense of humor, and uses sarcasm. Who knew?]

[acro_bat_ic]

Hey! I was useful!

...Besides, Pops was the one who won't let me be a police woman.

[big_blue_boyscout]

That sounds familiar.

[acro_bat_ic]

Really?

[big_blue_boyscout]

Believe it or not, yes. My father always taught me to do the right thing, but he didn't want me to go and fight crime. Even though he was proud i would, he was worried that if someone say me using my powers, someone would come take me away, and he'd never see me again.

[acro_bat_ic]

Mine just doesn't want people shooting at me... [But she's learned an abiding love of justice from him.]

[big_blue_boyscout]

If he didn't, I'd be worried.

[acro_bat_ic]

But he's a police commissioner!

[big_blue_boyscout]

I think that gives him all the more reason to be worried. He knows what you might see as a policewoman. He loves you enough not to want you to see it. In his own way, he's trying to protect you. I know you might not want it, or that it feels like he's babying you, but it shows that he cares.

[acro_bat_ic]

I don't need babying. I want to help people.

[big_blue_boyscout]

He's not trying to baby you. He just doesn't want to see you get hurt. Whether or not you can handle yourself, he's still going to be afraid for your safety. He's a dad. It's his job.

[acro_bat_ic]

Hence the mask.
