[Barbara’s been here a few days, now. She’s explored a good chunk of the city after memorising the maps. She’s scrolled through dozens of network posts, getting a feel for her sudden compatriots. (In other words, "building an extensive database of files".)

She still feels out of her element – she has no tower, here, no network of power and persuasion – but she’s slowly starting to relax.

So her smile is more or less genuine when she makes her own introduction.]

Hello, everyone. I’m Barbara. [She considered an alias, back when she first arrived, but she didn’t see much point.] I'm new, so I've got my fair share of questions. [A fleeting, rueful smile that hides her frustration.]

How well-integrated have the Transports become? How many of you have jobs here? Have we set up any regulations or enforcement? Has anyone attempted any sort of education system? [She knows some of this already, but she'd like a number of experiences and perspectives.]

I hear you're a good man to talk to about mechanics.

Right now? [Jaime pauses, mouth twisting up at the side as he considers it.] Not so great. A lot of them died. I don't blame them for being angry.

Me either. We brought this on them and we couldn't protect them from it. We didn't choose it either, but...we have a responsibility, now.

Lot of people are just getting angry right back at them.

[And it's clear by Jaime's expression how utterly unimpressed with this fact he is.]

Sorry, this isn't exactly the greatest welcome in the world. It's not all terrible here.

[A slight, wry smile.] I've seen worse. Gotham prepares you for most things.

So, tell me about the good.

The people, mostly. You'd think this place would be going insane with all these people from different worlds, but the hospitals and clinics seemed like they were packed with as many volunteers as there were patients back when the virus hit.

[And as her words hit...]

Wait, you're from Gotham? I swear this place is collecting you guys.

That's good to know.

And I can't say I'm surprised. How many Gothamites do you know?

Here? Just a few people I've seen over the network.

[He's not sure how private Robin, Huntress and Batwoman are about this sort of thing, but he's going to bet the answer is very.]

There are a few people from Gotham in my grade back home too, but I think they think El Paso's pretty boring.
