Madison | Babs
"Yeah?" For some reason Barbara found it all just a little bit more interesting when Madison told her she'd been a child-star. Something about that kind of start to life interested her. "Sure, sure, was it fun? Did you like doing that when you were young?" She wondered. "Or would you have preferred not to?" Barbara thought her younger self might have found the whole thing really cool for a little while, but being the age she was now - it was harder for her to see that as something that would have been fulfilling in the long run - but maybe she'd just seen one too many well off girls go bad in Gotham.
"Oh believe me I know." She said laughing with Madison when she talked about boys needing to show off, that sounded like her boys alright, Dick and Jason. They needed eyes on them, Jason a little less so these days, but when he'd been younger? Before everything. Yeah. And Dick? Well you didn't grow up in the circus and not enjoy a bit of attention, now did you? "Guess they're always hoping to hear that you like them, for whatever it is they're showing off."
Barbara didn't mind men quite so much, she did love all of her boys after all, they were her family. But she had certainly been on the wrong end of a lot of male aggression in her life so she understood it all too well.
