"Pam? What happened to us?" - Barbara Gordon

I had this in works for a while, just a redrawn scene of Barbara Gordon and Pamela Isley meeting up... with a different background and Babs being hit by mutagen mulch. Again, it's a fun experiment, but I didn't feel the need to post it as I felt this AU scenario hasn't been explored in the wider fandom, especially fandom of The Batman (2004).

However, a fanfiction on AO3, called where the wildflowers grow (thick as weeds and snow), has been updated recently, which tackles this AU scenario. The latest chapter is Babs realizing that she has become a plant person, which is usually where most of this set of fan fictions ends, unfortunately. It's currently in private, however, so you better have an AO3 account to read it.

Then she disappears, you see later headlines saying that the events of the killing joke happened.

But then, eventually you see a new girl with Barbara's symbol on it. Everyone else is afraid of her, but she seems... Understandable. There's something shared, she seems to know you. Maybe she's somehow Barbara's under that terrifying mask.
