Hunters point of view:
I didn't understand after Dick explained the intense anger the girl had. Her face became almost as bright red as her hair. Her eyes behind the glasses narrowed as if she was debating shooting me. She turned her wheelchair towards me quickly and I looked her over for a second before I asked, "Your not thinking of running me over with that chair are you."Both of them glared at me but I tired to pick my cold expression into somewhat of a smile. Damian's eyes flashed to mine before I said, "What to much?" I looked down at her and her eyes raked over my appearance before she turned. She now folded her hands neatly in front of her as she looked at Alfred behind me.
Her red hair fell in her face as she asked, "Are you sure she's trustworthy. That it's safe for all of us to be around her. You know what happened to me. What if she's a spy for them. What if he comes after her and because of it decided to take out you guys. I don't think it's rational for her to be here let alone be trusted with the batgirl mantle."
I clenched my jaw angrily before snapping towards the livid finger, "The fact that you feel so strongly about the situation implies you have been on this team before. Also considering your appearance and attitude I assume that you have been injured while on the team but still continue to work with them."
She glared before turning to Dick. Her anger fell on him when she said "You didn't tell her about the incident before I came." Dick backed up slightly and said while his hands raised in the air in surrender at the gingers anger as he said, "No I thought we wouldn't get into this topic on the first meeting."
She wheeled over to me slightly and glared up directly into my eyes. Damian went to move in front of me before I held up a hand slightly which made him stop. My eyes met his and he dipped his chin slightly in understanding as he didn't move. I knew from his stiff appearance that he wanted to move me behind him or at least to his side but he remained neutral as he leaned against the bookshelf.
I crouched down as Barbara approached my shins and looked her straight in the face as I balanced on the balls of my feet. She raised her eyebrows at my crouching as she stated, "You don't have to crouch. I'm perfectly capable of speaking to you at a appropriate height for you." I snorted before I said, "Never would I be ok with someone looking down at me, even if I was incapacitated. I wont let anyone feel the same way when speaking to me either."
She didn't blink as she pushed up the glasses on her nose. We were perfectly level now as we glared into each other's eyes. Her eyes looked over me as she asked, "Do you ever get tired of behaving with such cold hearted superiority?" I heard Damian shift but he didn't move from his spot as I said, "I'll probably learn to behave differently about the same time as you earn a soul, ginger." She didn't comment about the shot at her red hair before she changed topics and said, "Your father..."
I stopped her quickly as I snapped with my voice cold and distant, "Let's get this straight. They may be my biological donors so to speak, but they aren't my mother and father. I want nothing to do with them besides to put them either to death or sentence them to time in jail. Either way they are not my parents, as far as I'm concerned I'm an orphan."
That surprised Barbra and it showed in her eyes enough that she couldn't hide it. She nodded without commenting on my interruption. She leaned back slightly and her anger dulled before she continued by saying, "The Joker shot me when I was with my father and kidnapped him. He tortured and poisoned him till Bruce found and rescued him. Though he put the Joker in prison for the 50th time I was left paralyzed from the gun shot. I'm only now learning to walk again, but I learned how to help the team still. I help Dick in his city when he leaves on missions. It's hard but I keep going." I nod to her listening intently but I didn't comment.
