    Summary

    When she looks up, Selina is looking right at her. "It’s okay if you don’t want to do any of this anymore, but the objective fact is that you’re damn good at it, and from the sound of it, you don’t want to stop. Not the punching people in alleys part, but the information side of the game. You’re a hacker bar-none. You could also get into the system of this entire city. Every camera, every archive— it could all be yours.”

    She could. Of course she could. She’s known, ever since she was small, that she could have anything she wanted. But somewhere in these long intervening years it’s become a question of avoidance: how not to get something. How to avoid the shadows and scars Bruce and Selina and to some degree Dick carry with them. Swearing off the business entirely is the only way, she knows.

    But still, the hunger for it lingers.

    Or: In which Barbara returns home, starts a girl gang, goes toe-to-toe with a serial killer, and figures out what she wants from life.

    Summary

    Barbara Gordon didn't set out to make the Birds of Prey. But sometimes family shows up whether you're ready or not.
    OR!
    Sometimes, in order to be known, you have to lower the mask.
    ~~~~~~~~~
    Barbara would like it noted for the record that she didn’t START her vigilante career by donning a spandex suit and kicking ass. She started by nosing around in places she shouldn’t be and being a little more skeptical about the public statements than most people were. If a company said they weren’t doing human experimentation, Barbara was of the opinion that if they were completely innocent, there probably wouldn’t be a reason for them to make such a statement.
    The spandex and kicking ass part just kind of…clinched it, honestly. Because her uncle was so damn stubborn about Barbara not joining the police force, he’d flip if he knew she was even trying to do a little on-the-side investigating.
    So she kinda did need a mask if she didn’t want to be grounded until she was thirty.
    Thus, Batgirl made her debut appearance on the mean streets of Gotham city at the ripe old age of seventeen. This debut was not appreciated by, well, everyone. Thugs, mobsters…Batman.

    Summary

    On one particularly notable occasion, when thirteen-year-old Barbara ventured to tell Dick about her greatest achievement, she had the gall to call herself his first friend. She can’t quite recall what he said but she knows exactly what she said back.

    “Richard John Grayson, don’t you ever compare a woman to an elephant again!”

    And from then on, they were Dick and Barbara. Gordon and Grayson. The original dynamic duo.
