She had explained to her third-grade class during show and tell that she had named her new computer "Heart of Gold" because her getting it was infinitely improbable.

AWWW! I love junior! That's adorable! and reminds me far too much of myself.

*grin* I was definitely aiming for something we could tend to empathize with as geeky readers! Glad it worked!

Awww, I love lil Babs! Aww, her fangirlishness and being so smart even as a kid. And I loved the image at the end with the Bat Symbol protecting her.

*happy sigh*

Thanks so much! She plays a big role in the future of this universe, so she's very...real to me already, and I'm glad I got that across a bit! :)

Aren't Superman and Batman overdoing just a tiny bit?
I keep thinking of Barbara as a female SxB version of Tim's Robin obsession. Now, I really want to see how Barbara reacts when she finds out the Batman is the Bruce Wayne she so despises.

*grin* Yes, they are. They have taken to treating it like a sort of in-joke/foreplay...they will have reason to regret that later...

And yes! Barbara is definitely going to take on aspects of Tim in this universe--I was wondering who would make that analogy first. *hands you the prize*

I wanna comment on other things, but first I have to say - Awwww! Barbie! *snuggles and tucks the blankets in a little tighter.* Poor thing.

*coughs*

Then, I have to say, I can't wait until she relizes what BxS means in the world of supreme superhero fandom. How oddly fitting.

*cackles*

I see her figuring out the whole mess before anyone else.

*giggles* It was going to be a folder called "S/B," but then my beta reminded me that you can't use slashes in naming folders. :( So SxB will have to do!

I would lay good odds on it! :)

Awwwwwwwww Babs! This was way too cute.

Barbara is adorable as a kid! I'd never even really imagined her that age, but I'm having fun with her. Thanks for reading! :)
