Steph has been in Kenya for months and there is a number she hasn't called.
Well - okay, there's a lot of them, given that she hasn't kept in touch with anyone from her former life. But one in particular. One that she keeps worrying at, like a sore tooth. She knows Barbara knows she's alive, she knows Barbara knows where she is. Babs knows everything.
Steph hasn't really felt any motivation to call but even so, she's still a little hurt that Babs hasn't made the effort either.
It's early morning in Kenya. They aren't big on clocks these days, but it's not sunrise yet. Steph does not like the dark particularly well; it's too dark. Not like Gotham's night. Out here there's nothing. Animals noises she doesn't recognise, and the stars. Way too many stars.
But she can't sleep. And for once, they're in a village that has regular electricity, and her cell phone is charged. Leslie insisted they have cell phones and Steph didn't really have any reason to argue - and tonight - this morning - she's actually about to use it.
Not that she has any idea what time it would be in Gotham. Or really cares. Barbara will be there.
It takes her a while to get through to Gotham - although it's easier than it could have been. And she's still not really sure what she's going to say when it finally starts to ring.
