Stephanie bolted down the stairs to the Batcave, her boots barely touching the metal steps. The sound of her arrival echoed across the cavern, interrupting the hum of computers. She knew Bruce was still upstairs, brooding over his "firing speech" but that won’t stop her. Her Robin costume was still crisp— too new, almost 3 months, really, before Bruce yanked it away from her. Fired or not, she wasn’t ready to let go of the idea. Not yet.
