Oh. Something in what he said resonates, but it takes some time to penetrate the shame and grief that's settled around her heart.
"That was the deal I agreed to," she counters distractedly. Batman can definitely fire you if you're training to be Robin. "Break the rules, no more Robin."
Ah, there it is. 'Shutting you out.' That was exactly what he did. Even as Spoiler she'd had ways of getting in touch with Oracle or Robin if she really needed to. But Tim wasn't Robin anymore, she'd been cut off from Oracle's comm line and running into Batgirl just ended in more insistence that she go home.
She died alone, unwanted, unmissed, but wasn't that only because Batman had erased her from his vigilante community? They didn't know she was in trouble, but should they have known she was missing? Should they at least have kept track of her? It wasn't like they didn't know her, didn't know that she was going to be a vigilante with or without Batman's approval. So why wasn't anyone looking for her? Why hadn't Oracle at least gotten in touch with her?
