Title: 378
Fandom: DC Comics
Prompt: #13, Love Beyond Desire
Word Count: About a hundred and fifty.
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: DC Comics owns all characters involved. Not that Oracle pays too much attention to things like that.
Summary: Talent attracts attention.

( It began shortly after she cracked the NATO mainframes for the first time. A congratulatory anonymous email she couldn't trace. Tips on interesting targets. Links to papers on number theory with surprising cryptography applications. After a while, requests for help with secondary projects; diversionary attacks, routine hacks, field scouting. )

Awwww. Oracle has a sidekick!

Babs is a Bat, so... I wish Jane best of luck. *g*

...and now I want you to write the fic about the cyber-equivalent of DITF or War Games. Or, um. Nightwing.

__marcelo April 20 2007, 16:53:47 UTC

Eeek. DITF would be really scary; Jane isn't really associated with physical danger, and Babs is very Bruce-like wrt her associates being put in danger's way.

Seriously the sexiest story about two people who have no contact that I've read in a month of Sundays.

:D Thanks! Writing Bat relationships is funny that way.

Original character of yours?

__marcelo April 20 2007, 16:47:57 UTC

AFAIK? Although I don't think she'd be out of place hanging out with Utilitarian or Stargirl.

jarodrussell April 20 2007, 16:55:10 UTC

You should create more OC's in the DCU more often!

razorsmile April 20 2007, 18:10:10 UTC

but she kept that information locked in the only unhackable place, deep inside her mind.

Oh Jane ... bless your cute lil' heart.

__marcelo April 20 2007, 18:29:18 UTC

I hope it takes her a while to realize how naive is that assumption.

*Goodness*, that girl's young.

I wonder what's going to happen when she meets the Birds. (Or Spy Smasher.)

__marcelo April 20 2007, 21:25:56 UTC

In my head, Babs already has a lot of contacts/sidekicks/etc that she keeps at a distance, both from herself and from the cape world; superheroics is only a part, a minor part, of how Babs operates.

The same goes, in an infinitely more disturbing fashion, for inside-my-head!Bruce.

Don't make me go there, I'm still recuperating from Batman: Snow, with Bruce and his team of people in need of things he can provide. It was scarier than the psychobat.

Though this is totally the way it must be, specially for Babs. The 'unhackable place' made me smile fondly :) how we wish!

Batman: Snow? Haven't heard of that. It's an Elseworlds?
