That stopped X23 in her tracks. Adoption? she thought, and this woman had a habit of it? Was that why she was so interested in helping X23 get her own name?
"Would you... Would you...?" she asked, breathless. She could hardly think as the prospect of having a mother, adoptive or not, hit her full-force.

Barbara simply met X23's gaze and replied, "If that's what you want, I'll do the best that I can."

X23 just stared, unable to speak. "I... I..." she stammered, her throat dry. "You... you wouldn't treat me like... Like HYDRA...." she said; it was more of an assurance to herself than a question.
"I... Yes, please." she said, hardly noticing the practically begging tone in her voice.

Barbara smiled at X23, "Alright then. I'll help you, and my dad will just have to get used to it. Don't worry, he's a big teddy bear when you get to know him."

X23 didn't say anything; before she even realized what was happening, she had broken down completely and was hugging Oracle around the neck, crying heavily into her shoulder.

Barbara wrapped her arms around the young girl crying into her shoulder and hugged her. A couple of tears rolled down Babs' own cheeks as well. Whispering into X23's ear, "It will be okay. You'll see. You'll see."

"Thank you... Th-thank you..." she said softly. "You have... n-no idea how much this m-means to m-me..."

'Batgirl' walked up to Robin with a slightly confused look on her face, Jinx simply asked, "Ummmmm.... should I go with you or go with BB? I'd like to go look for Star, but if you need me in Gotham...."
Jinx's voice trailed off, waiting for a reply from Tim.

Kesshou's wing moved, a part of her face now visible. She looked around, having stopped sniffling.
She wasn't used to not being slightly babied, but then again Samantha wasn't here any more to do that.
She stood up, her tiny fit over with and looked around at everyone, waiting for the plan of action... What ever plan she'd be a part of.

Meanwhile, in the holding cells, Ward Abbot glanced in the direction of Suppai wondering why she was being held. Fully turning toward the felinoid, the elder agent smoothed his thinning hairline and raised his bushy eyebrows, "So, what the devil are they holding you for?"

A wicked grin spread across Suppai's face as she looked over. She sat in a shadowed corner that had limited visibility on her features other than her legs, tail and the edges of er wings as the leathery folds of black and white flesh moved back and forth.
Slowly, Suppai stood up and moved, very catlike, to that side of the cell and pressed her face up between the bars. She looked at the man and laughed insanely. "For what I do best, my dear..." She tilted her head to the side and bit the bar for a second before continuing.
"Let's just say I'm not the friendliest person to meet in a dark alleyway... Or even a perfectly lit street during the day." She shot her hand towards Abbot, raking her claws at him and laughed again.

"Oh, bloody wonderful," Abbot shook his head, threw up his hands, and sat back down on his bench seat inside his cell, "They've locked us in here with a mad.... whatever she is!!! How long are they going to keep us here?"

She blinked at the man, her expression turning slightly more serious. "I'm a Felinoid or cat-person.... Or a "cat-girl", as the anime fan populace calls it."
She started pacing the side of her cell, as if she was waiting. "And I don't know about you four, but I have a feeling that with all that was going on upstairs, They'll most likely move me before too long..." She grinned like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland.
"But till then, lets have a little fun, shall we?"

Abbot paused a moment and then slowly turned back toward Suppai with a shrewd look, "Maybe.... we can help each other. What do you know about these holding cells... this energy field?"

She shrugged. "Not much... Other than it turns off my powers... I can't do s**t till I get out of here.... They also have bracelets that keep my powers turned off for transport as well..."
Suppai looked at the field and punched it as hard as she could and hurt her own hand. She only winced as she continued. "They can even withstand my naturally high strength... Although..." She grinned and turned back towards Abbot. "I wonder about the bars..."
She walked over and did a high kick to the bars between the cells. ((I'll leave that to you to decide if they break or not and what they're made out of.))
