"Maybe, but there's more than one way to win a battle," She'd rather her people here, instead of Ellie. Not because she thinks Ellie can't handle it, but because even after going through a war, she's still technically a civilian who shouldn't have to deal with this shit. Bats are trained for it.

She's relieved Ellie is taking this so well, it's not often that Steph tells people she's a vigilante, usually it happens the other way around, by telling another vigilante her real identity. It was a risk, but so far it's paid off, and she thinks - hopes - she can trust Ellie to keep this secret.

"Um," There's a lot still on her mind, but she manages to look almost... shy, for a second there, "Spoiler, then Robin, now Batgirl," A beat, as she looks at Ellie, then, "You're not allowed to laugh."

It's different when she's in her suit, because even if the Bat ears and the bright yellow symbol is a bit silly, it's still obvious how well made, how reinforced that black and purple uniform is, which lends some credibility to the name.

Right now she just feels like a bit of a dork.
