Maybe for the people in charge. But that doesn't mean that we can't have enough of it. And I don't know about you, but I'm done with dying for a while. [Or so she thinks]
I'd hope so. Watching you die isn't pleasurable either.
...I. I have told this before, but I just realized never told you. I'm really proud of you, Barbara. I know I'm not Bruce, or your father, and I'd never try to be.
But I couldn't ask for a best partner when it comes to defending ourselves in a place like this.
Same to you. Dying isn't exactly fun, no matter who's doing it.
[Oh. Wow. How do you even respond to Superman telling you he's proud of you? Sure, he isn't her father and he isn't Bruce but...he's still Superman. The correct response is clearly just to smile a bit, not that he can see it] Thank you. That means a lot, even if you aren't either of those people.
[Well, this is slightly awkward now. He's told Dick this a few things but Dick... is different. He thrives for attention, he was born and acrobat. Barbara has always been more of a background force to him, ready to attack and somebody he would give his life for but didn't need for him to acknowledge it.
He realizes now how unfair that is.]
I just. I. Wanted you to know. It feels like something I should have said earlier.
[She doesn't really need praise or attention or traditional fathering. She was raised by a man who is basically the world's best father, so she's all set when it comes to those things. Still, the praise is nice]

What about you, Barbara? Are you alright?

I'm fine. A few cuts but nothing major.
