Challenge/Prompt: Forgotten
Original Fiction or Fanfiction: Fanfiction [DC Comics]
Character: Barbara Gordon
Rating: General
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: DC owns Barbara, not me.
Summary: A photographic memory is a double-edged sword.
Nothing is ever forgotten. Images sink into her mind like ink into skin, portraits of her
past that never fade.
It gives her an edge no weapon will, and it can't be taken away from her. Brutal crimes, vital clues, secret files; they're stored forever behind her eyes.
She remembers the way Jason fought, unbridled passion driving every strike. She remembers the way Sarah walked, each and every stride as brisk and confident as the last. She remembers the way Stephanie flew through smog and stars with Cassandra.
She will never forget her mother's smile.
She'll never forget his, either.
Title: The Quiet Night
Challenge/Prompt: Forgotten
Original Fiction or Fanfiction: Fanfiction [DC Comics]
Character/Pairings: Barbara Gordon/Pre-Crisis Kara
Rating: General
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: DC owns Barbara (and Kara), not me.
Summary: She thinks she remembers everything, but she doesn't.
Sometimes, when Barbara sits high above the city's spires, she almost remembers. It's an ache in her chest that she can’t quite place, a wistful thought that she can’t quite grasp.
As she stares at the sinking sun, the breeze against her lips almost feels like a playful kiss, the warmth on her skin a tender caress.
It's only for a few moments, stolen from a time that never was. The breeze dies, and the warmth fades, and she is alone in the dark.
She searches the sky for a familiar smile, but all she can see are dead stars.
