Barbara hadn't told you yet. Her defense was that the relationship was still too new. You know...a whole year was still new, right? But how long was she supposed to keep you in the dark about her secret double life as Batgirl? When she was with Dick it was easy, he was Robin and she was Batgirl and it was just simple. But this was new. You mattered a lot to her and she didn't want you to be put in harm's way.

She knew first hand the damage caused by criminal scum, having been through years of physical therapy and experimental surgeries to get her spine together again after Joker shot her. How could she let you into this part of her world, knowing the danger that came with it?

"Barb." Your voice cut across her thoughts and brought her back to the present.

"Sorry, I was...thinking." Barbara said before she smiled at you and leaned on the table, giving you her full attention. She could tell you later. Maybe.
