"No. Not that." Barbara shakes her head, a small movement when her chin rests on his chest, and then pauses—her brow knitting, because it feels impossible not to touch, doing this. "Sure, I am still thinking about that. What I can tell you and can't about the year back home, and whether that connects to the other entrance from that time, without breaking the standard rules of time travel Bruce drilled into all of us—"

And god if that's not part of why some part of her has the wherewithal to look at his eyes this close in the dark, reflective only now and then, and not blue in this inky deepness, and end up turning her head, putting her cheek back against his skin.
