We're in a warzone. They took our people, we killed to get them back. There was a world burning - you killed to try and save it. ( Sharp. ) You have killed because your hand has been pushed.
( Slower, like that might help it sink in, although she's not holding her breath. ) The difference between us is that I killed because I wanted to, and you did it because you're at war.
( They've both had something stripped away from them by Batman for not following orders, but it was Helena who was the murderer. Stephanie might be a criminals daughter, but at home, she'd not been reduced to Helena's level. Not yet. ) You're still Batgirl. You still deserve that symbol, even if I don't think you need it. This is not his city. The same rules don't apply.
