The many months fighting side by side with the vanguard, winning and making the city safer perhaps altered her mindset that they couldn't be defeated. Today changed that mindset. Her armour, body and confidence didn't come out unscathed. Neither did the rest of the team. Many black eyes and bloody lips were given that day.<br/><br/>As time went by, things got back into motion just like they were. Although now with a new face joining the team: Arianna. The 'weapons master' she had coined a nickname forher. Strong, loyal and friendly. All you could ask for when fighting crime. Yes, things were getting back to normal.<br/><br/>That was until one night patrolling with Val. Word over the radio sent chills down both ladies spine as a description of a man, sounding like Fenris, was reported down and injured. Her horror was confirmed when she saw his broken body. Val, who's rage at this point threw out all logic charged off in the distance to find the perpetrators as Barb remained at her lovers side till medical crews arrived.<br/><br/>The fight was long, brutal and filled with emotion. That very emotion likely the cause that saw the heroes win that night. Nobody hurts Fenris and gets away with it. Especially when it's Valkrie, his daughter and Barbara, his partner. Even the desperate attempt by Ironstrike didn't fell them. No, they were strong that day, as a team, for Fenris and as good friends.<br/><br/>"Merry Christmas everyone!"<br/><br/>She always did enjoy the time of the year. I mean who wouldn't? On one night leading to that faithful day she promised the team she'd cook for them. Turns out 'cooking' really meant ordering pizzas and drinks for the team. Still, it was pleasant time to be around friends, family and no villains. At least she hoped the latter was true for the whole of the Christmas season.<br/><br/><br/><br/></span></div>
