[Narrator/Host]

You're listening to DC High Volume Batman. Barbara Gordon was Batgirl, daughter of Commissioner James Gordon and one of Batman's most trusted allies in his war on crime. But that was before the Joker. Before the bullet through her spine. Before everything changed. Now Barbara must discover what it means to go on, when all she had was and all she believed herself to be has been torn away. And now, Oracle Year One.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope too can be given to one only by other human beings. Elie Wiesel, born 1928. I can't believe I was such an idiot. I'm Barbara Gordon. My father, my adoptive father, is Commissioner Gordon of Gotham City. I've lived in Gotham City most of my life.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

Okay, guys, inside voices, lads.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Right, right.

[Richard Dragon]

Library.

[Supporting Character / Friend]

Sorry.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Thanks, dad. I'm no novice. I ran one of the largest libraries on the East Coast. I was Batgirl, for crying out loud. I have fought everything from crooked bureaucrats to the costumed crazies.

[Supporting Character / Friend]

Riddle me this.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Who is so. One night, I hear a buzz at the front door and I just go and open it. I don't use the peephole to see who it is. I don't have the chain on. I just go and open the door. What was I thinking of? Help. It was the Joker. And he had a gu. And there was a flash. And there's blinding pain inside Me. And I am falling and I hear myself screaming and my dad shouting and. And I don't remember much else. Fortunately, I'm not sure what else happened except I woke up in the hospital with part of my spine shot away. And I have these nightma. And sometimes when I wake up things aren't much better.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

Barbara.

[Richard Dragon]

Didn't mean to disturb you. I understand you're going home tomorrow.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Yes. The doctors tell me I was lucky. The Joker was using a doctored bullet. Half the grains of a normal.45. Had he been using a regular bullet, I would have been dead before I hit the floor. And he didn't want that. No. No, he wanted me alive. Not because I have any intrinsic worth or meaning to him, of course, no. Shooting me, kidnapping my dad. It was all just a way to get at you. Do you understand how humiliating, how demeaning that is? My life has no importance, save in relation to you. Even as Batgirl, I was perceived just as some weaker version of you.

[Richard Dragon]

I caught him, Barbara.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Oh, yes. I heard about that. I heard how you two stood there laughing over some private joke. Tell me. Was it me?

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Good.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

I hope I've heard him. It's nothing compared to the pain I felt or will feel. And so, 10 weeks and three days after the Joker shot out my spine I was sent home. The media were in full attendance.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

Please, neither I nor my daughter has a statement to make at this time. Please, give us a little privacy.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

I don't want any pictures.

[Narrator/Host]

Please, please.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Please. You know, when you're healthy when you're whole there's a million simple things you do every day that you take completely for granted. Things that, for me, were no longer so simple. Such as getting in a car. I used to jump in and jump out like most people now every move had to be planned. Almost choreographed.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

I got you. I'm holding you steady. I got you.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Backwards.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

Sorry about this.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

In full view of everyone.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

You did that very well. Honey, you okay?

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

No. No, dad, I'm not. The press wouldn't even have bothered if I hadn't been your daughter. Dad, I'm not me. I'm a symbol. We're big on symbols in Gotham. You refuse to have police guarding our home. Every other big city police commissioner has them. But you wanted to symbolize how open your administration is.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

And you got hurt because of it. I'm sorry, Babs.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

I am too, Dad. I am too. So began my six months in shadows. I went to both my physical and emotional therapists.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Steady. Let your arms take the weight.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Good. I had to Accept I was never going to walk again. Part of my spine was shot away, the spinal cord hopelessly damaged.

[Sylvia Candrey]

Here, come over here.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Let me massage the legs for you.

[Narrator/Host]

Keep them from atrophying.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

There you go.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Worst of all was the fear I felt of being physically helpless, unable to defend myself. Of having no sense of self. A feeling that I meant nothing. That my life was now over.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

Many people in similar situations feel this way, Barbara. It's completely natural and 100% normal. You're not alone.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

I sat in the back bedroom of my father's apartment for weeks. Afraid to go out, afraid of the next day and what would happen to me if, God forbid, dad should die or be killed. How would I live? On charity. I was tired of. Of being a victim. I had skills and abilities long before I became Batgirl. It was time to make them work for me again. It was time to stop being afraid.

[Richard Dragon]

Where do you want these, Ms. Gordon?

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Just in here. Thank you. You got it. With a grant from the Wayne Foundation, I set up shop in my bedroom. I put together as powerful a computer setup as I could. One thing I knew how to do was research. And thanks to my modem, I could tap into databases worldwide. I discovered I had an affinity for computer hacking, and I started to make some money. All right, here we go. I got into the Internet before the general public really knew what it was. And I discovered a world there. The Internet was a community of people talking, arguing, romancing, helping one another. And you didn't even have to use your real name. You were simply who you were Online. I found an enormous feeling, freedom and complete acceptance there. And for a time in my life, the cybernet was more real to me than the world outside my window. In a strange way, I became more real to me as well. More content. More happy. Then one night at dinner, a chain of events began that led me to where I am now. Dad, what's wrong?

[Commissioner James Gordon]

Sorry, Babs, it's work.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

When isn't it? What is it this time? Tell me.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

There's this financier, a woman by the name of Ashley Mavis Powell. We know she's laundering money, but we don't know how she does stuff with computers. I. I know it's your field, honey, but I hate him.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Poor dad. He was a Luddite when it came to computers. Still, I was intrigued. Armed with his number one dad mug and our bottomless caffeine supply, I started to ask around the Internet what my friends might know about this Ashley Mavis Powell. I got a quick reply from Sylvia Candrey, a police computer operator working out of nyc.

[Sylvia Candrey]

Girl, you're talking about a criminal. We also know as Interface and she is a nasty piece of work. Interface actually has a low level metahuman talent that lets her interact directly with computers.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Oh.

[Sylvia Candrey]

She alters files, reroutes things, makes disks crash. Always louses up the evidence so it's unusable. She's also a child abuser. We would love to get her in jail on any pretext just to get her away from kids. Be extra careful of her. She's very sick and very dangerous. And Sk.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Dad probably knew most of this already. I can understand why he didn't tell me. I hate people like that. I decided to go after her via my computer. She was elusive, but I was determined and I had nothing else to do do. With dad's insistence, I started going out more, making my way around the city. He was right of course. But I didn't like it. I was a gymnast at one time. I was a dancer. I loved how my body moved. Now I just felt conspicuous and clumsy. I used to to walk everywhere and the traffic never bothered me. Now come to a busy street corner and I feel myself start to panic trying to get across. Oh, that's all right. I can do it myself. I really don't need any help. I'm not offering my help. My name is Ashley Mavis Powell and it has come to my attention that you are sticking your nose into my affairs. You little cross. And I don't like it. Go play in the traffic little girl. Someone in the crowd helped me get back into my chair as Ms. Powell disappeared. Thank you. Thank you. So I'm fine. She made me feel like a helpless victim again and had laughed doing it. Ms. Powell had just made the biggest mistake of her life. I needed a resource and not one from Batman or my father. One I would find on my own. I am confined to a wheelchair and need to find some form of self defense. Anyone have any ideas? And Babs.

[Richard Dragon]

I get into character. Babs, I know someone who knows someone who might be able to help you. I've taken the liberty of setting the wheels in motion. If interested be in Robinson park just past the centergraph a little afternoon. Hope it works out and matches. Hope this helps. Barbara.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Robinson park. Just passed the center graph. Still not sure what I'm doing here, who I'm even looking for. But I keep my eyes open. I roll past a couple of unhoused drifters resting under a tree when I suddenly feel like I'm being watched.

[Richard Dragon]

I take it your babs friend of yours told an acquaintance of mine about you. Don't let the appearance fool you. My name's Richard Dragon, and I'm here to help you. You maybe. First tell me what it is you want.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

I don't want to be afraid anymore.

[Richard Dragon]

Fear is useful in moderation. What do you really want?

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

To walk again. Can you fix that?

[Richard Dragon]

Nope. That's not what you're really seeking.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Well, I. I want my life back.

[Richard Dragon]

That's who you were, not who you are. Who are you?

[Narrator/Advertiser]

I.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

I don't know. I don't know if I ever knew.

[Richard Dragon]

Now you're ready to begin. That's what you're here to discover. And these may help. These escrowma sticks are my gift to you.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

And so began the weeks, the months in the park, learning from a street bum named Richard Dragon.

[Richard Dragon]

Good focus.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Philippine art of steel. Fighting called a screama. The physical and mental discipline honed questions of my identity. Strangely, or perhaps not so strangely, the answer came in the form of a dream. In my dream, I am walking. I am dressed as Batgirl. Once more, I know with a dreamer's certainty that I am in classical Greece. Just as instinctively, I know I am at deli. And the masked woman before me is the priestess who speaks for the gods, the Oracle. Speak, child. Ask me your questions. I've lost so much. I've lost everything I thought I was. Who am I now? How do I go on? You have lost nothing that matters. You have everything you need. Everything before leads up to now and now leads to what shall be. I don't understand. Take away your mask, and I will take away mine. Then you will understand. I remove the Batgirl cowl. Oh, she is me now, do you see? And then I woke up, and I did understand. I knew exactly what I was going to do with Ashley Mavis Powell. I realized that the Internet could be a mask as surely as any cowl. I could assume an identity. And this time, not a secondhand version of someone else. This would be mine. My mask. My shield. My Persona. Three weeks later, I had everything ready. I hurled my gauntlet at interface. Huh? Wait.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

What's this.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Greetings interface. This is Oracle. I know your secrets and I will have what you hide. And nothing you can do will prevent that. Oh, I don't think so. Whoever you are, I will track you back, crash your files, short your hardware and collect your guts. Forgot contact. Now Powell was arcing from site to site on the Internet. Her mind whipping around the world with the speed of thought, falling deeper and deeper into my trap. I had gotten her attention and drawn in her mind. Now all I had to do was execute my pre arranged program and go. What? Execute? How very appropriate. No. Powell was silent with the computer. And now I had it caught in a logic trap, endlessly repeating the same circuit over and over again. Again at the speed of thought, unable to break free. Until I cut her loose.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

Who is this?

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

I activated the voice scrambler. All Powell would hear was a husky, metallic baritone. You know who this is. This is Oracle. What I have just done to you, I can do again anytime. I've set a post hypnotic suggestion in your mind. I can trigger the logic trap anytime I choose. And I will. Unless you do exactly as you're told.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

Barbara, I'm home.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Good day.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

That Powell woman, the crooked financier I told you about a few months ago, turned herself in today, along with all her files.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Oh, amazing. Dad, your hat. Really.

[Commissioner James Gordon]

Hey, it looks good on you.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

It does, huh? It felt like the right time to take another trip to Robinson Park.

[Richard Dragon]

Good afternoon, Babs. You look radiant today.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

I am. I think I found. Well, not the answer, but a start of the answer to my question.

[Richard Dragon]

Then you no longer need me. You know the forms. Keep practicing. Grow, great little spirit.

[Barbara Gordon / Oracle]

Thank you, sensei, for everything. A little over a year has passed since my old life ended. Since I died and was reborn. The shadows remain, but only to give contrast to the light. I'm no longer a distaff in person of someone else. I am me. More than I have ever been. My life is my own. I embrace it and the light with a deep, continuing joy.
