Barbara Gordon / Natasha Romanoff
Barbara could just imagine the way Jason would be rolling his eyes if he heard this conversation, but it was important too - a little further down on the list of priorities of course, it wasn't going to keep them alive or keep them healthy or any of the other things that people generally needed, but it would make it worth it too - it would help ease tensions and frustrations. All worth and no play and all that.
"Right, exactly." Barbara nodded, glad that Natasha had a similar outlook about the kind of good something like a library could give to people. The bar was nice of course, it was an easy place to congregate like this, but it was different, just like the coffee shop was different.
"I think you're right, it's easy to get caught up in that, in being just a bunch of people shoved into a place and forced to make the most of it," And sure maybe that's exactly what they were doing but they didn't have to feel that way about it. They could make it better. "I think we're all hoping this is just a temporary thing, but none of us have any guarantee that it will be, and I'd rather figure out a way to live a real life while we're here not just one that's solely focused on getting out." She didn't know what other people had left behind, if they even wanted to go back, why should they all have to sit around like they were on some kind of extended camping trip when they had the abilities to make a real life here for themselves.
