[nyssa wore a weird outfit cut down past her belly button showing off a ton of tiddy and tried to win cass over to her side it was weird babs. better not to know]

Luthor? [no, not lex, not the ex-president. she would've said lex if she meant lex. but.]

[bodilesswarrior]

[For once in her entire goddamn life Barbara is fine without knowing the details here. Why are you seducing her daughter to the dark side, Nyssa, stop it]

There's another universe where most of the heroes we know are villains, and Lex Luthor was one of the lone heroes in opposition. [She can't help but say it with dark amusement.] He and Lois had a baby before their Earth was destroyed, and managed to send him to another universe.

It gave him the powers we needed to save at least one universe, and also aged him into a young adult in a few days. Then it was all over, and he was alone with three strangers. [She understands how he turned into the person he did, but any impulse for sympathy is smothered under the weight of his actions.]

He used the Society to weaken us. Bludhaven was the highest body count, but they orchestrated a worldwide prison break, too; J'onn and I barely scrambled enough heroes together. Then, after his plans failed -

[In the scheme of things, it's so small. But her fists clench and her gaze darkens, all the same.] He's the one who almost killed Dick.

[cassassin]

[that's... a lot. cass takes it in, watching babs with concern, until she finally speaks. softly, but still decisively.]

Cat cafe, after I land. You and me.

[bodilesswarrior]

[That catches her off guard, but then she nods, with a trace of a smile.] Sounds good. Never been to one of those.

[cassassin]

[cass smiles wide, nodding. glad that's settled.]

So, um--settling in okay?

[bodilesswarrior]

Nope. [And she lifts her arm, so it can flash her status.] See? Unsettled.

[Sorry, Cass, she had to.]

[cassassin]

Barbara.

[bodilesswarrior]

Cassandra? [Utterly shameless.]

[cassassin]

[yeah ok she can't help it, she starts giggling. babs that's so fucking stupid.]

No, but--really.

[bodilesswarrior]

[SUCCESS.

Her triumphant grin fades, though, as she really considers her answer.] Not badly. I'm still...getting the lay of the land.

Which is harder without my surveillance network. [Cass. Cass she misses her cameras so much.]

[cassassin]

[she nods, understanding. that's a huge part of how oracle does what she does.]

Don't... know how to help with that. League uses police scanners, mostly. [the monitoring room is so primitive, mom]

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara just...stares, for a second.]

That's...a start. [What she means, and what Cass can definitely see, is "that's fucking terrifying".]

[cassassin]

Not great. [trust her, she knows.]

[bodilesswarrior]

I suppose government-sanctioned teams are a bit more...limited.

[cassassin]

Don't like it either. [no surprise there.]
