When Helena goes to get dressed today, instead of finding her Huntress costume hanging neatly in the back of the wardrobe she finds it has been replaced with the black leather of the Batgirl costume she was wearing when she first entered the bar finally returned to her with a dry cleaning receipt pinned to the chest just over the Bat symbol. She frowns at the receipt as she removes it - took them long enough to get it back to her.

Seeing the costume again after all this time is almost surreal, like she'd forgotten she'd ever put the Batgirl costume on at all. But of course she did: she made the costume herself and she wore it at night to remind the city that it hadn't been completely abandoned. She reaches out a hand and traces her fingers over the soft leather of the Bat. She looks at it for a long time before she finally gets dressed.
