#113 • Secrecy Would Suffice

It looks like I'm a touch late with this, but what's written is written.

Title: Secrecy Would Suffice
Author: graycardinal
Rating: G
Wordcount: 100
Challenge: #113 (secrets)
Fandom: BtVS, Birds of Prey (TV)
Spoilers: None.  Occurs post-S7 in the Buffyverse and probably post-series in BoP television continuity (although I'm of mixed minds about that).

Helena and Dinah couldn’t know.  If Alfred suspected, he kept silent.

The changes came unheralded.  A toe moved unexpectedly – then bone knitted, nerves and muscles stirred.  In a week she was whole, in another, better still.  Secretly she tested herself.  Only time could restore mastery – but now, it could.

Answers trickled in slowly: reports of Sunnydale’s cataclysm, of Slayers whose abilities matched her newfound gifts – all far younger than she.  Higher powers evidently thought her deserving, a distinctly unsettling notion.

Still, Oracle kept silent.  Her weapon now was knowledge.  Someday, strength might yet be needed; until then, secrecy would suffice.

Interesting!

Traditionally, people post the "oops, a little too late" ones during the last of the six weeks, 'cause that's amnesty week. I'll add the wordcount for this to your total, it just won't be listed as one of the drabbles on the #114 post next Sunday.

Interesting and a nice person to get healed and called!

Very cool.

Okay, I love the idea of Babs getting her body back... keeping it to herself (suspecting the BatFamily suspects, but still) is just perfect. Thank you!
