[Locked to Friends; one friendly conversation rule, etc.]

Guess who got their filters back, bitches?

[Locked to Enemies; one unfriendly conversation rule, etc.]

You all suck.

Man, it feels awesome to say that in private again.

[Locked to Cass Cain and Cassel Sharpe]

Lunch today? All three of us? Let me know.

[Locked to Rorschach, forwarded to Iris and Lisbeth]

See, now with my filters, I am a much happier inmate and your life just got marginally easier. Congratulations.

[Her smile is strained, but sincere.]

Good going, Chris.

Thanks, Barbara.

You okay?

Aren't I always?

How about you?

Edited 2013-04-24 16:53 (UTC)

That's not an answer.

[A bit ruefully.] Yeah, I do that.

...I'll be okay. It was. [She shakes her head.] Nothing I can't handle.

Right.

If you say so.

So I heard you adopted someone I know.

I do.

[And then - then she's grinning, warm and bright, as if the last few days never happened.]

She told you?

Fuck yeah she did! That is so fucking awesome, I'm like freaking out for both of you.

Yeah, me too. It's...

[She shakes her head.]

It's probably the best decision I've ever made. [She doesn't realise, really, that she's putting Cass above Oracle right now.]

I'll say, christ. Good for Cass, holy shit.

[There's a sudden hint of bashfulness in her smile.] You think?

Are you kidding me? Holy shit, what kid wouldn't want you for a mom? Cass won the parent lottery.

[Barbara just kind of stares at him, for a moment, and then she realises she's beaming, and she might even be blushing a little.]

You know, it's funny. I never thought I could be - but now, well. It's not just Cass.

hey. you okay bb?

[Wearily fond to intently concerned in .5 seconds.]

Why are you texting, Iris?

and you aren't answering my question either.

I am indisposed.

I'm... [Dammit, she can't lie to Iris, not outright, not about herself.] I'll be okay, eventually.

sweetheart <3 <3

later, when we're both feeling more like ourselves, might you tell me where she diverged from you?

I can't pinpoint Bianca so easily, a lot of her past was a potential future of mine that I'm confident of having unhappened. I don't quite know how to feel about her and that other Oracle.

[After a moment, Barbara nods.]

I can do that, yeah. [It's terrifyingly easy to see how it happened.]

...Are you up for visitors? We don't have to talk, I could just...

so much yes. promise not to pull a batberserk about what happened to Bianca though.

[After a moment, wry and deprecating.] It would probably be best not to tell me who did it.

I wasn't planning to. Bianca was trying to rewrite memories, though.

[It really shouldn't sting, that Iris doesn't trust her when she doesn't trust herself, but emotions never make sense. It doesn't show on her face, because she knows it isn't fair.]

Then I can't blame them for defending their mind, objectively speaking.

[She's not telling you because if you think for two seconds you'll know, Babs.]

She couldn't take someone she wanted walking round remembering me. If I were inclined to take an excessively sentimental view of it, [which she kind of is] I could read that as defending me from the worst enemy I have.

But I think self-defense is probably more realistic.

[She's trying not to. She doesn't want to fit the pieces together.]

Could be a bit of both.
