"Right, good plan." She agreed, plucking up the earpiece and turning it about, examining it. "Tomorrow works - I didn't want to go to History anyway."
She coughed loudly as a piece of muffin lodged in her throat, making her eyes water. Heat detection lasers. Pressure plates. As she understood there was a time when one just had to punch a couple of keys on a piano and presto, cave. What she wouldn't give to be doing this before the rebuilding of Wayne Manor.
She cleared her windpipe then nodded, blinking back tears as her eyes water. "Yep, all good. Think I'm going to leave the cape home on this one - just to be safe. Just make sure not to hid your com to well okay? I don't mind Alfred finding out our plan if it's the difference between me in present form and me riddled with batarangs."
She pushed the last crumbles of the food aside. "So, what time should I be dawning the cowl and busting in the back window? Also, I should probably know what they're going to be distracted with, just to be thorough."

"Good call." she said, tone perhaps overly mock cheerful, when she said she'd leave the cape at home. She popped the past bit of her muffin in her mouth, and slurped it back with her cappuccino, grimacing slightly. She let it get a little cold, but shrugged when Steph asked what she was going to distract the team with.
"Nothing too big, if you're worried about someone getting hurt." she watched Stephanie with a careful eye, before continuing, "There's always some sort of crime going on in Gotham, I'll set them up with the minor ones that'll keep them busy. A drug shipment is supposed to arrive at midnight. Their leader is supposed to meet up elsewhere during that time, to pay up in another location. That takes two down at least." she shrugged.
"The others? There's minor enough crimes in Gotham that'll keep them occupied while we're making off with the goods. Stolen purse, gun to the head. I think there's a robbery planned when the west side bank opens in the morning actually..." she tapped her front teeth with her nail for a moment, pondering the dates and tips she had stored in her head.
The Oracle. Truly befitting of her role, and entirely aware of many of the happenings in Gotham.

Just drug shipments, she says, guns to heads, she say. Stephanie tilted her head. "How do you just know all this? Is that okay?" She looked around as if expecting some kind of backup from the audience, but of course there was none.
She was tempted to ask if Oracle knew who the Easter bunny was, but there was that immaturity thing again.
"You're the Oracle. You say punch, I say how hard." She stretched her arms, grimacing at the sore points all over her body. "So where exactly should I be looking for the materials do you think? I somehow don't picture there being helpful arrows painted on the floor saying 'This way to the suits' or, 'Kevlar weave here'. And hanging around too long seems like a bad plan."

Babs only gave her a mischievous smile. "I'm the Oracle..." she explained, "I have to make it my business to know these things." was all she said. Truth was, Oracle could tap into every security system in Gotham. The technology for sonar cell phones was off limits and gone- thanks to Bruce and Fox- but mobile devices weren't entirely out of the question.
"Bruce keeps all of the materials we'll need in the cave now. They'll be on the bottom tier. He used to keep them at Wayne Enterprises, safe with Lucius Fox..." she gave a slight grimace, "But since that masked mercenary, Bane was last in Gotham, it proved to be a little less safe than we all thought."
"Unfortunate..." she undermined it with a shrug, "But like I said... It'll be on the bottom tier, S'where Bruce kept it all last I knew of, or at least he put them there with the intentions of moving them in his spare time. And we all know how much spare time he's got." she rolled her eyes.

"Bottom tier." She repeated, nodding. Seemed legit. "So I'm grabbing plating, gauntlets, some new toys... anything you want, while I'm there? And does it make me a bad person if I take the Batmobile for a joyride? I mean how many times in my life am I going to break into the Batcave? And I am so sick of having to swing everywhere while they cruise about."
Seriously, it sucked having to run all over Gotham. It limited how much she could do both time and body wise. She was getting the workout of a lifetime, but she'd swear her soul to any gym in the city if it meant she could spend a couple nights just her, some criminal take down, and the Batcycle. No freaking wonder the guys saw her as ineffective.
"Can we add that to the list of things we're stealing? Some type of vehicle? Makes the getaway a little easier."

"Bat-cycle." she said, hardly missing a beat. "I trust you know where the vehicles are. The Bat-cycle was mine. Had a few runs on it with the Boy-Wonder." she threw a wink to her, before clapping her latop shut, and tucking in the side pocket, besides a pair of baton like sticks that looked suspiciously like a set of weapons.
"What's Bruce gonna do if I take back the bike. Way I see it, it's not his anymore, and you'll be using it way more than they will." she shrugged, throwing back the last of her drink. She could do with the caffeine.

"Bat-cycle it is." Stephanie grinned. Tomorrow morning would be tough, but oh she was going to enjoy tomorrow night. Look out Gotham's underworld - between her and Oracle, things were about to get very ugly. Of course she'd have to find a place to stash said large and painfully noticeable bike, but that was minor detail work.
Noticing Babs packing and finishing her coffee, Stephanie grabbed her jacket and pulled it on. "Well, think I'm going to pass on physiology today, head home and get some rest." She put the com into her pocket, picking up her bag. "Send me whatever you can think of for things to watch when entering the pit of despair if you could."
She was going to turn and leave, but then as almost and after thought she added, "Hey, thanks by the way. For not trying to get me to detour."

Babs only nodded, taking the form of silence to agree with the leaving. She was already getting ready to do so, after all, and they had little else to discuss here, without it getting to a point of being ridiculous for talking about secret bat business at a cafe in the middle of Gotham.
People eventually start listening after said amount of conversation, it was time to cut clear for today. Babs had picked up her phone when Stephanie had turned and thanked her, but she stopped, lowering the device to his her a sincere nod with eye-contact.
"I got a lock of flack myself... My father was the Commissioner after all. Figure I needed a bit of support back then. Be damned if I wasn't going to be that support for the next suited up ladies if I could help it."
The speech would be touching, and it certainly was in a way. But Babs always had a talent for being rather casual about things in public places. Usually she came off as cold. But incoming call, her phone began beeping off a ringtone.
"You go on, head home and rested up. You'll need to be up and going by at least five am for this to work." she advice, before pressing the on button on her phone, and promptly answering it, leaving Stephanie free to go.

A quick nod, and she was honestly relieved at the emotional moment dodge. It was a little early in their friendship for heart to heart talks in public forums. "See you, O." She waved as she was given the freedom to leave, and so took the chance to exit the cafe.
The air was cooler outside, winter turning her breath to fog. She'd have a lot to live up to in Barbara Gordon - and screwing tomorrow up would be an extreme failure at doing so. So yeah, she was going home to stretch out all her sore muscles and get to sleep. Damn straight. She was going to get what she needed tomorrow, if she had to tie all the members of her dysfunctional up and stuff them in some Bat Broom-closet.
