Yes. Yes, this is how it should happen in canon. I would love to see more!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

I don't really have any further ideas for this, although how Karen deals with having a doppelganger would be a whole different issue that someone should play with.

“And, yeah it drove me a little crazy to find out you had all these boys.”

Oh my God, my heart. It broke.

This is wonderful, and Helena's interactions with Damian--I honestly hadn't thought it through until partway through and then boggled, her half-brother?--were such a mix of pained and tender. Her wish that this Bruce could be someone she could hate safely, her instinctive horror at the idea of fighting against Batman, and of course he'd recognize her from her fighting style, that's one of my favorite tropes. This was just...all-around gorgeous, I loved it, and I'm so thrilled to see Helena get that reunion, as complex and bittersweet as it must be.

Thank you! (You are one of my very favorite fanfic authors, just FYI)

Yeah, I really want to see Helena play off Damian; they'd have some odd things in common. And the idea of this 'reunion' for people who'd never really met was too good an opportunity. :)
