Barbara Gordon took off her headset and wheeled back from her computer station. Things were slow enough now that Oracle shouldn't be needed, and if it changed, she could always come back

Well, that was a familiar voice! Ted practically bounded over, grinning.

"Babs, hey! Thank God, someone I know."

[pythiaonwheels]

Sorry, Ted, Babs will be quickly pulling out her escrima sticks. Doesn't look like a Black Lantern, but it sure as hell can't be Ted.

"... Who are you? Don't lie to me."

[bwahahabeetle]

Sorry, Babs, it definitely is Ted. Besides, if he were a Black Lantern, he'd be all zombiefied and stuff.

Ted stopped a short distance away, frowning. "I'm Ted Kord. Come on, Babs, you know me." There's a short pause. "I died, didn't I," he continues quietly. "Max shot me."

[pythiaonwheels]

"Yeah. Ted died. Which means you still haven't answered my question."

"Hello, Barbara," says a voice from behind. "It took you such an awfully long time to get home. I've missed you."

[pythiaonwheels]

Babs spins around surprisingly quickly at the new voice. "This is not home. Who are you?"

[theother_mother]

"I'm your other mother. And this is your other home. Would you like some supper?"

[pythiaonwheels]

She crosses her arms and narrows her eyes. "My birth mother's dead. You're not my adopted mother. My stepmom's dead. I don't have a fourth mother, sorry, thanks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts."
