Video; Introduction

[batgirl_babs]

[She puts on an air of being more nervous than she is when the video comes on. Because Barbara Gordon is, in every way, clearly a civilian with no other nocturnal activities whatsoever. But she still waves, in a friendly enough manner.]

Hoo, ok, where to start. Umm. Well, I guess I should start small? I'm Barbara, Barbara Gordon. Formerly of Gotham City, in case anybody knows it. And ugh, I am so hopeful at least someone does.

So I've got some idea what I'll be doing around and about - it's all a bit strange to me, but, hey, when in a weird situation, make the best of it.

[She holds up the introductory literature she was given.]

Now, umm...this is all a little bit strange in terms of surroundings and...whatever is going on, but if you need someone to work through information fast, I'm your girl. I mean, not much else I can do, other than maybe throw some computer science and gymnastics at it. But yes, research skills if anybody needs.

[For a moment, he's thoughtful, memories of a life he hadn't quite lived faded but still lingering where they shouldn't.]

I wonder how much coincidence there is in the different realities. Did the Bruce in your world adopt someone who lost their family to the violence of Gotham?

[She nodded, with a small sigh.]

I think, somehow, Bruce Wayne will always be Bruce Wayne, regardless of universe. Twice, in my case - Dick Grayson, his ward, then Tim Drake, years later.

It doesn't surprise me that he'd have more than one child. He adored my sister and me. [A strange word to use for it, but it fits Bruce's public persona if not the version they grew up with. Bruce loved them, but adore seemed too silly a word for their father.] I don't remember either name from the bits of memories I have from the other Gansey.

You attended college with Dick? I don't remember a Barbara in my - the other Gansey's - classes.

Woah, woah, hang on, a sister, too?

[Her mind boggles, and it shows on her face.]

You absolutely have to tell me everything! I mean, yes, I did, but you just must!
