'Course, we've got some spare stuff floating around 'cause the newbies are due. I'll see you soon.
[And with that she hangs up, spends a few seconds silently freaking out because thank god, and then actually gets ready to leave, packing a bag with some of her winter clothes. At least her and Babs are roughly the same size.
She was right about her estimate to get to the New Initiative set up, because half an hour later she's walking inside and searching for Babs, trying to shake snow out of her slightly purple hair.]
[Barbara's chair wheels back, and she pushes the hair from her eyes. It's still disconcerting; one moment she's chatting with Zinda about flight plans, the next she's in a winter wasteland. Complete with a few months' extra memories.
So she doesn't do much, as she waits. She focuses on the memories as they integrate into who she is, orders her thoughts and reigns her emotions.]
[As soon as Steph spots her, she's heading over quickly, though she resists the urge to break into a run; at least she's had time to calm down from the initial surprise at Babs being back.
There hasn't been any huge changes since Babs left, but Steph looks - better. She's put weight back on, after having lost so much while on the moon base, and there's more colour in her skin than there had been while they were stuck somewhere without any sunlight.

I'll be about half an hour, want me to bring you some warm clothes?

And she looks happy to see Babs.]

Hey yourself. [Her chair closes the distance between them - and, after a moment, she reaches out to squeeze Steph's hand.] How've you been?
no subject
You know how it is. [Which is to say that there's been some good things, and some bad things.] You missed Christmas.
no subject
And that makes her grimace, a bit.]
Of course I did. [And then, a slight smirk.] At least I missed the shopping rush.
no subject
[And not just because of the Transports.]
I started a new tattoo while I was there.
[She's shown Babs her robins, but she's made a start on her bats, now.]
no subject
And don't keep me in suspense.
no subject
[Since that's two now, first Chicago and then New York.
At the comment, her grin widens.]
I might have to, they're a little tricky with my clothes on.
[she gestures at her back, since they're sitting between her shoulder blades.]
no subject
...Did you get wings?
no subject
[Klarion did tell her she tastes like Christmas, after all.]
Christ, Babs. [She laughs.] Although I guess I sorta did, but they're on a handful of bats.

[It only seems fair.]

A nice green, maybe, if that'd work with the others.

[Wait.] ...I designed that, didn't I.
no subject
It's nice to see you again, Babs. How long's it been on your end?
no subject
Not long - few weeks. [And the smile goes soft.] I saw Cass.
no subject
How is she?
[Steph... wasn't there, during that time.]
