   Summary

   Barbara Gordon's got a mirror in her room. It spans the length of the door it's hanging on, and she looks in it everyday. With each glance, she feels like there's a different woman looking back at her. If she's going to learn to deal with this change, she's got to change herself first.

   (This Fic is quite lore reliant; it will still veer to the left a bit in terms of writing and I will make my own version of this arc, however it IS pulling from the comics. This means that yes, it is a mature story and does include IMPLIED Non-Con events [I will make sure it stays implied. I'm not writing that]. At the beginning of each chapter I will list the Comic/s the lore has come from so you can read up on it yourself if you don't understand any names, dates, or events.)
