DC cap removed from game - Barbara's excited by possibility of castmates....

[acro_bat_ic]

Okay. So maybe Robin's not all bad...My triple aerial summer somersaults are way better, though. [And don't even get her started on his fashion sense.]

I'd still rather have an army of Batgirls, though. Maybe even another me. Bet Hell Island couldn't stand up to that. [Plus, she wants to see what they think of her hopping bat-brella.] 

...Not that I'd mind a new Robin. If they came with  a Batgirl. Or maybe Batman... He's probably doing miserably without us.  

Who's picking out the batmobile presets without me, anyhow?

An army of Batgirls. I like the way you think.

[acro_bat_ic]

Think we could show this place a thing or two? [She grins.]

[sibylline]

Oh, possibly. But I think you'd have more fun with Cass. Or Charlie, though she's not exactly a Batgirl.

Ignore that? ><

[acro_bat_ic]

[She lifts a brow beneath the cowl.]

More recruits?

Tell me more.

Haha.

[sibylline]

They recruited themselves, per tradition... [She hesitates, not knowing if that's true for this Barbara.]

[acro_bat_ic]

Which is another thing we have on Robin, by the way...

[More than true for her - she actually predates her Robin, as her Batman's first partner. Just stuck on the costume and started showing up at crime scenes.]

[sibylline]

[This pleases her, though she wouldn't have been disappointed if it hadn't been the case.]

One of many.

[acro_bat_ic]

And we've got two.

[Babs was pretty pleased with herself, too. Even though he didn't actually show her the cave, or his identity, until after he added Dick to the team.]

At least I've got Steph....

[sibylline]

Steph is pretty good to have. And if I could come, I would, but I really do think I'd be a bit of a burden.

[acro_bat_ic]

I'm pretty sure Steph would be thrilled... [And freaked. But honestly thrilled.]

[sibylline]

Yes, it's probably been a while since she's gotten top notch use out of her sassy pants.

[acro_bat_ic]

I don't know. I think I'm preeetty sassy

[sibylline]

Impossible!

[acro_bat_ic]

Think it comes with the costume.

Which I totally made myself, by the way.

[bestpedigree]

Only Batgirls?

[How exclusive. And she's not a Robin any longer, alas.]

[acro_bat_ic]

Or Batwomen. We're not picky.

Just as long as we outpace the Robins...

[bestpedigree]

What's so bad about Robins? I used to be one.

[acro_bat_ic]

Nothing.

I just don't see why Bats needs them... [She predates the Robin in her canon - and since she hasn't met hers, yet, she can't help but feel a bit of worry about being supplanted...]

I mean, the name doesn't even sound bat-like.

[bestpedigree]

[Aww, poor Babs.]

They need someone they can trust, someone they can always count on to be there for them.

[Small smile.]

But I agree, Robin's not a very bat-like name.

[acro_bat_ic]

He had me...

Not that he cared to make it official. [He finally lets her into the batcave - and reveals all their secret identities - after Dick joins. An attempt to make them feel more like a team.]

He's not in the game, anyway. [Just Babs, batgirl-steph, an angry Tim, young justice Dick and Superboy... They're an oddly mixed set of people.]

[bestpedigree]

[But they're all a family, right? Ish. Maybe.]

Really? [That does come as a surprise to her, though.] He never seemed like that type to—

[—well. It doesn't matter anyway. Her Batman isn't anyone else's Batman. There isn't a point in making assumptions.]

Maybe he'll find you again. One day.

[acro_bat_ic]

[Of course they are! Bats, birds.... cats. :|

It took me a month just to get my batwave [A communicator for the batfam.] And he still never told me his name....

[ichoosefight]

Don't mind her. I haven't told her yet that I used to be Robin too. She's already outnumbered.

[bestpedigree]

You too, huh? That makes...what, three Robins over there?

[ichoosefight]

Three Robins, two Batgirls and a Super. Honestly I think we could use a few more birds.

[bestpedigree]

Nice assortment. I think it needs a few more felines though.

[Okay, so maybe her biases are showing.]

[ichoosefight]

Babs here has a distinctive feline aversion. Wanna rub it in her face?

[bestpedigree]

Only if it doesn't involve that umbrella of hers.

[ichoosefight]

No promises there. Though I did tell her she can't bring it in the house.

[bestpedigree]

Smart girl. Did she listen? [Better question:] Did it listen?

[ichoosefight]

For now she has. Umbrellas never listen.
