hurt was FOREVER written on marisolâs face when she was with her mother. hurt , anger , sadness , regret , confusion. she could never forget how bad everything was years ago and her mother just⌠walking away from it all. it hurt more than marisol would ever say , but it was all in her facial expressions. the woman had always been an overly expressive person. â itâs fine. itâs school. iâd rather be training or doing anything else. â marisol was smart and clever and had the ambitions to be a leader but all of that disappeared when you put her in a classroom. marisol would be CIVIL. sheâd talk about school and the weather but thatâs where it ended. she didnât know how to talk to her mom anymore.Â
growing up babs had loathed her mother for taking her brother and leaving, not to mention idolised her father for raising her and continuing on until he found sarah. it was a cruel twist of fate therefore that she seemed to have grown into her mother even if that wasnât what she was trying to achieve when she left all those years ago. âi dont think iâve met a single intelligent person who actually enjoyed school,â she comments. babs herself certainly hadnât. She had spent lessons fantasising about the next time she would be able to put on the suit or join the team. âhow is training anyway? Im guessing dick is doing a good job,â she trusted him to of course, just like she trusted him to raise their kids. mari had been so obsessed with the idea of being batgirl growing up she couldnât help but wonder jf that was still the same.

Kori took a deep breath as she looked in the mirror, fixing her hair, or at least the best she could. No matter how hard she tried, she never could fully tame her mess of red hair, something she fully attributed to being Tameranean. She said goodbye to the babysitter and her four year old son as she set out to go on what was her first date in years. She felt like a giddy teenager again, unable to keep a smile from creeping onto her face as she made her way to the cafe.
Entering the cafe that they had decided to meet at, Kori scanned the room looking to see if Babs had arrived before her. When she didnât see her, Kori went and sat at a table near the door. Being that it had been a few years since Kori had actually gone on a date, she wasnât sure what exactly she was expecting to come of this coffee date with Barbara. Kori kept an eye on the door, waiting for Barbara to arrive. When she did, a few minutes after Kori had first arrived, she stood and waved to Babs. âYou look great,â she greeted with a smile.
what was she thinking? babs wasnât sure. when was the last time she had even been on a date? the answer to that was years ago. still this was kori and was frankly just coffee. surely her low self esteem would be able to get her through that at least. she wasnât some nineteen year old kid anymore, so really the prospect shouldnât have made her as nervous as it was. still she had known the other for a long time now, since they were kids really, and she deserved the chance to do something for herself for once.
arriving at the cafe which thankfully didnât have a step up to the entrance. it was easy to spot the table kori was sitting at, the other seemed to stand out of any crowd she could be placed into, what being so tall as breathtakingly good looking. âhey,â she grinned approaching the table. âyou should say that to yourself. you look amazing kori and this place is definitely cute,â it had been the other females pick considering that all the date spots she knew about were back in gotham.
@cftedkord // âi think out of everyone here you are the only one i can definitely say is happy to see me,â babs jokes from where sheâs sat at the table in the others workspace. it felt like old times really, the two of them working in the same space. âhow have you been ted? tell me one of us has been having some luck,â
Seeing Barbara here wasnât exactly what Dick expected. Nor what he had in mind for his morning. Nor what he was even remotely prepared for. And of course itâs not his choice where she goes or what she does - it wasnât when they were married either, all these years werenât going to change that. Itâs not as though they havenât talked over the years, itâs not as though they havenât worked together. This shouldnât be a shock.
But it still is, and the a few moments all he can do is stare in surprise at the woman heâd been so madly in love with all of those years ago.
âUh - yeah.â Dick says thickly as he snaps himself out of his daze, shaking his head. âYeah, every other day. You know me and sleep, weâre not really friends so.. coffee helps.â He chuckles weakly as he waves his fresh coffee a little, probably looking like even more of an idiot than before but itâs hard to comprehend exactly what to do, what to say, when youâre taken completely by surprise by your past appearing before your eyes. âWhen did you get here?â
she had known her coming to paragon was bound to make people uncomfortable. despite the way she had at least tried to stay in touch with other members of the bat entity over the years this place was still very much dickâs territory, at least as much as it was their childrenâs. if it came to her needing to leave again she would go without hesitation to make sure they still had somewhere the three of them were comfortable.
she still didnât know what she as thinking, not giving him more warning about her rival. trying to rip of the band-aid with minimum discomfort perhaps. it certainly didnât matter now she was faced with him.
she nods then, a comment about the fact that he needed to look after himself bubbles up in her throat but well, that hadnât been her place for a long time now so the words go unsaid. âonly a couple of days ago, they needed a librarian and someone knew to give me a call,â she shrugged. âi meant to call, really i did. i just wasnât sure what to say,â if youâd even want me here goes unsaid. dick deserved honesty but he certainly did not deserve more pain.
â sorry - i thought you were someone else. tend to mix up voices when you donât hear them so frequently , â thereâs bitterness in her voice. marisol hadnât had a decent relationship with her mother since before the divorce. â what did you want to talk about , barbara ? â marisol knew how to make her mother hurt. and how to push her away.Â
babs had a lot of regrets in her life, the worst however was her relationship she had with her children. it hadnât always been like this of course but babs had quite clearly made a choice when it came to leaving. she had hurt the two of them and whilst she had hardly been expecting them to just forgive her, she hadnât been expecting them to push her away for it either. she had just been trying to protect them. she does her best not to react when mari uses her name rather than âmomâ ignore the more awkward comments. âhowâs school ? thats a startâ

âyouâre gunna have to simplify all that tech-talk when i ask you what youâre doing, you know. team dodo bird here,â he ruffles his emerald feathers down at babâs side, âso, take-two, whatâcha doin?â [ @bcbsgordons ]
babs letâs out a laugh at garâs response, as well as his appearance. âsorry,â she grins shaking her head hand moving to pinch the bridge of her nose just briefly. âiâm just recalibrating my screens to make sure theyâre fully responsive... better??â
@cfdickgrayson // âitâs good to see you,â how did you begin a conversation like this? barbara wasnât sure. after so long, so much pain, so many things that she just couldnât change. still, dick was still dick. her best friend, her person despite all the distance between them. he owed her this. âdo you come for coffee often?â
@mariwingâ // âi donât expect you to be happy to see me,â despite the way babs was usually skilled at keeping her voice even, the pain in her tone was evident enough. her children, her daughter were always going to be her weakness. âbut i did think that it was better for us to really talk, rather than you just hear over the phone or from someone else,â
( JESSICA CHASTAIN, FEMALE, SHE/HER ) â ⧠THAT LOOKS LIKE BARBARA GORDON, KNOWN AS ORACLE! THEY HAD CHILDREN WITH DICK GRAYSON AND THEY ARE SINGLE. I HEAR THEYâRE INTELLIGENT & RELENTLESS, BUT TEND TO BE CYNICAL & SELF DESTRUCTIVE. SHE WORKS AS A LIBRARIAN AT PARAGON.Â
BIOGRAPHY
Born to police commissioner james âjimâ gordon and his wife barbara kean it was clear from the moment she was born it was clear that she was destined to be the apple of her fatherâs eye. she and her mother had a less loving relationship however and she left when babs was eight years old
still she had a good childhood with the love of her father more then making up for the other missing parent. jim is also a large source for barbaraâs moral compass and the sense of justice that drives her.
it was clear from the moment she started school that she was an incredibly clever girl, and she took up martial arts both as protection in the highly dangerous city that she was growing up in and also to occupy her mind.
she also began to devour books, a habit that she would keep up well into her adult life. this was of course helped by the fact she has a photographic memory, something that would prove to be incredibly helpful later.
when she was fifteen years old barbara decided that the police department needed all the help they could get and did her best to put her mind and skills to use. inspired by the Gotham hero the batman, babs made her first costume and began to sneak out of the house at night and call herself batgirl.
her first âmissionâ was to save batman and robin, she was not however as successful as she wanted and batman ended up saving both her and his sidekick from harmâs way.
she did not however take this as a setback and soon enough batman accepted her into the fold eventually revealing that he was in fact the billionaire bruce wayne and robin was his ward dick grayson.
babs soon made herself an indispensable member of the team, trusted on missions with batman as well as going out on her own. where robin chose to fight crime as a member of a team, she made a name for herself as a hero outside of the shadow of the bat and being batgirl gave her a level of freedom she had never had before: she lived for the nights when she could put on the cape and help people.
this then culminated at her joining the superhero team teen titans alongside robin and otherâs she would come to trust with her life. then as she moved forward into adulthood she began to think outside of Gotham going to college away from gotham relying on zeta tubes to get around.
starting at the age of nineteen babs began to feel like she really could have it all. she had a team that valued her intelligence and her realism, was going to one of the best colleges in the country. her relationship with Dick also began to shift. They had always been incredibly close, but it seemed that all the flirting had began to mean something. they formed a romantic relationship that would become one of the foundationâs of babsâ life for the next few years.
at twenty two years old babs graduated college and moved in with Dick unsure on what direction she wanted to take so she threw herself into being batgirl, working as a librarian in gotham during the day time sand then going back to dick and bludhaven at night
at twenty seven however it was clear that her daily life was not the only place where she began to feel restricted. batgirl had been the dream of a teenage girl and for the first time Batgirl began to become something restrictive. so she did the only thing she could do and chose to take a break so that she could find herself
It had been meant to be a short break but soon she found herself pregnant soon enough the two of them had three children. they were happy for a long time, for her childrenâs childhood. for once in her entire life babs had everything she wanted.
one visit to the joker to her and dickâs apartment one night changed her life forever. before she could even react to the sight of the clown at the door he fired a shot into babsâ stomach severing her spinal cord and paralysing her permanently from the waist down. she was home alone at the time, the joker shooting her not because he had discovered her secret identity but rather because he wanted to get to the police commissioner and kill his daughter. that part of the plan did not succeed however and babs was found soon after and taken to the hospital. the damage already done.
coming home from the hospital was hard but then adjusting to life without her legs was harder. babs slipped into a bad place mentally and remained there for a long time thinking there was no way that she could ever be as good as was before
she and dick stayed together however, him being one of the few beacons of light she had during a dark period of her life. things however were doomed to crumble with babs still mourning her legs and trying to come to terms with who she was now following what happened. she ( despite or perhaps because of how much he meant to her ) began to push him away. confident that he deserved someone better.
eventually babs felt she had nothing left to do but leave, dick, their children they deserved better, and she did her best to make the hard decisions so that they wouldnât have to.
so with a new range of mobility and single for the first time since she was a teenager babs morning bed back to gotham determined to still make something of her life
it was then that babs fell back in love with computers once more. using her hacking skills babs took on the codename oracle in connection to the manner in which she was all seeing. helping just batman to begin with. babs soon became an unshakable part of the superhero community once more.
then suddenly dinah lance stumbled into her life. a more unconventional line up the  two of them formed a steady friendship and became the foundations of the superhero team the birds of prey and suddenly babs was more fulfilled than she had in a long time.
the ground underneath the females feet shook once more with dickâs apparent death. her best friend gone in a moment with her unable to do anything more than watch on a screen. a part of her died with him she was certain of it ( that nineteen year old girl who would never not be in love with him) and yet she didnât let that stop her instead it simply pushed her further to make sure that her friends and family were safe out there on missions.
NOW: babs finds herself in a better place than sheâs been in years, but still there was something missing. dick, the children. things could never be the same, she knows that, and yet she has to try.
HEADCANONS:
this has some canon basis but: she still has the engagement ring dick gave her, though this is something barely anyone knows, at first it was out of the hope that the two of them might get there someday but then when they split it came to mean something different. it was reminder that there are people out there who love her, and then when dick died it became a reminder of just dick in general
aside from computers and hacking in general sewing is her favorite hobby. she likes to sew things for loved ones as well as the plushes that adorn her desk
has the worst sleep schedule in the world, due in part to the fact that even though she knows that heâs dead she still has nightmares about the joker and what he did to her
