I am not my mother. My mother is cruel. She lies. She toys. She provokes. Lady Shiva only hurts. She does not feel. She does not care. She cannot love. She killed those things... to become more. To become less. Lady Shiva cares for nothing but herself. My mother is everything I am not.

I am Barbara's will... and Stephanie's heart. I am Tim's wit. Jason's grit. Damian's guts! I am Duke's hope and Dick's faith. I am Alfred's care. I am Bruce's pride!

I am Batgirl. I am all of that and so much more.

I think I know what was missing from our date night... us. Lois & Clark. A city girl and a small-town boy. Don't worry about forever, Clark. Just be here with me now.
