Two years after Jason's death. Many happened. I finished college when I'm 19. Tim Drake became the third Robin, and Stephanie Brown became the fourth Robin, and the second Batgirl. Dick and Zatanna broke up. Dick dated a girl named Shawn, she was a criminal before. They broke up after a few months. He then dated Dawn Granger, Dove, but they had also broken up. Poison Ivy and I saved Harley Quinn from Joker. They both started dating afterwards. Right after I start to lose depression, Gotham hit me down again.
Dad started drinking day and night, after I was paralyzed by Joker. He beated me, put dad through hell. I lost my legs, nightmares haunt me. It didn't stop me from hunting crime though, I became Oracle, the girl behind computers. Kara came to Gotham to support me for a while, and she advised me to go to Metropolis with her. We became roommates in Metropolis. My therapist thought my depression came back, but it didn't. I was happy, even with no legs.

(Babs, Are you home?)07:21
(Yes, why?)07:22
(Look out your window.)07:22Babs moved her wheelchair, and opened the curtains. Seeing Nightwing knocking on her window.
"Don't you have school? Boy blunder. You dare come all the way to Metropolis at this time?" she asked, while chuckling.
"My whole morning is free, so I decided to swing by." Dick smiled.
"Will you come to the batcave tonight? I have something to tell you..." His voice suddenly sounded serious.
"Of course, birthday boy. Happy birthday!" The red head grinned."Last thing, is that coffee?" Dick pointed to the red mug that Babs was holding. Babs nodded and handed in her mug. The acrobat finished every single drop of coffee before he returned the mug.
"See you tonight!" Dick smirked, and went on his way to Mount Justice.
The Justice League made a new invention to transport heroes around the globe. Going to Mount Justice from Gotham takes less than 2 minutes. Babs gathered her things, and headed to the library.She works in the library as a librarian on weekends. Helps children to find books and teaches them how to read. It might be a waste of her college certificate since she has a degree in biology, chemistry and computer science. However, she was happy.
"Barbara, great to see you. Would you help me to find a book dear?" An old woman kindly asked. "Sure!"
Comparing her at the age of nineteen and seventeen, what changed the most was her happiness. She lost her emotions back then, but is much more cheerful now. Full of confidence and cheerfulness.
She handed the book to the woman, and saw a girl with beautiful black hair standing in front of her. "How may I assist you?" She asked. The girl vanished, surprised to see her. Couldn't find the girl anywhere, Babs continued her work as Oracle.
By nighttime, the red head arrived back in Gotham, and the Batcave. "Babs!" A blonde girl called her.
"Hey, Steph."
"I missed you so much." She hugged Babs, and continued talking to her.
"Steph was so excited to see you. She had been screaming the entire day!" A boy in red said.
"Hi Tim." Babs said to Tim Drake. He is now Red Robin. "Don't mind Tim. I still have loads to tell you!" Steph continued.
Barbara chuckled and followed her.I don't really know what perspective I should write this, so I'm gonna try 3rd.
