She couldn't help but lift a hand to her cheek to dab away the tear that dared to spill over her eyelid. How could this happen? She felt as if a huge breath of fresh air had been pushed into her lungs, despite the dingy smog that clung to the thick, Gotham air. "Coming home" usually had that effect, especially after she'd been gone for so long ( Read more... )

There was, of course, about 25 unopened e-mails, but there's a message on the machine.

"At some point, I really need to introduce you to secure voice mail. It's Barbara. I'm wondering how the solo work went. You know the number."

A slow smile curled into her lips, hearing Babs' voice. Of course, she thought, and rolled her eyes. With a sigh, she drew out her cell from her jacket pocket and dialed Barbara.

"Hey, you," as soon as the phone picked up. "You know me: cellphones are a close second to computers--we've never gotten along." Obviously putting off talking about her "solo work" she cleared her throat. "It was fine. What do you have for me, Oracle? I could really use a workout..." she sighed deeply. "And I should probably know the news as of late. What's been going on since I flew the nest? ...er...no pun intended, of course."

"Do we really have to get into this now? I just have to get my mind off things, you know?" she ran and lept to the building adjacent to her, landing awkwardly on an edge. Perhaps pigging out had been a bad idea, after all.

"Seriously, what's new, Oracle? I'd much hear about what's been going on in my absence."

"No, we don't." She'll find out later. "There's a domestic disturbance five blocks uptown on the 25th floor."

"Not much. I'm walking better, but still need the chair most days. Sandy is becoming mini-Dick. Some more Titans came back from off the dead list. Roy and Donna are entering 3rd trimester. Atlantis attacked Sub Diego and then a ton of refugees came on land complaining about a new religion down there. Still getting details."

Dinah, of course, knew the only reason Babs dropped the subject was because she'd find out on her own. Nosey. She a smile spread across her mouth despite herself, though ( ... )

"Ollie is Ollie." In short, in Star City, talking only of hero work and avoiding the subject, probably unintentionally, but who knows?

"This guy is unstable either way. Expect guns."

"Got it, Oracle," she managed to grind out through her teeth as she stared down at the man who had dared try to take her on when she was in this state.
