If she's your friend at all then she'll understand. ( Barked out, harsher than it should be. She doesn't move away, doesn't pull back. Just breathes, lets her words soften. ) You aren't in Gotham.
( This is war, and everything changes, instantly. This is an extraordinary circumstance. ) You didn't kill before you got here.
( Maybe there had been temptations, maybe there had been times where Helena would say that she should have. But Helena is the bad one, the rotten one. If Stephanie thinks she's reprehensible for killing in war, then what must she think of Helena?
That's not the point, and it's not anything new. ) This changes you, but it doesn't mean you aren't Batgirl any more.
