Well, that cinches it

Barbara hadn't really ever intended to use this plan. That was in part because it was bug-nuts insane. But here she was, sitting on a cold metal floor with a few laptops strewn around her and one case she was glad was still here.

It had taken her nearly twenty minutes to get the wetsuit on. Skintight isn't easy to do when you can't move your legs. She starts adjusting the metal braces that let her move around without her legs flailing wildly. Ankles, calves, and thighs cuffed together with a series of bands that will let her lock her legs into one position pretty easily.

Dinah still hasn't checked in yet, and that's worrying. If nothing else, Dinah is a professional, and she knows how serious things are.

Babs finishes locking her legs down and grabs her headset. "Dinah? Come in, Dinah."

Please let her answer this time.

Having rocked onto knees Dinah is able to check out of the window.

And see the familiar coastline of the south east USA passing under her.

"Uh huh," she says. "I don't think that's going to be a problem."

And with her feet free, levering her hands free is just detail.

Babs is about to say something else when a warning pops up on one of her screens.

They've back-traced her satellite signal! Her finger stabs out to cut the connection between Dinah and herself before she makes the conscious decision to do it.

Well, Dinah said she could make it to Gotham. That's good enough for now.
