Hey there, I'm Dinah. Florist, cute, blonde, professional butt-kicker. I own a shop and take down bad guys. Just living in Gotham trying to be a hero. What can I say? It's what I was born to do. [RP blog for Save This City.] "Scars. You'd have to go under the knife to remove those. But the psychological disfigurement -- no blade for that. Except the cutting edge of life itself. Otherwise, you remain a cheerless bird in a gilded cage. Truly... a Black Canary."

Part 3 - Reveal, Sunday Evening, T-0

Her victory was short lived as the timer went off moments after Bane crashed to the ground. As soon as her computer beeped, Barbara jerked away from the aftermath of the battle, gesturing for Dick to take over if there were any complications. She couldn’t wait for this, couldn’t stand not knowing for a second longer, Bane be damned, Bruce be damned. They had the situation under control and didn’t need her anymore. The elevator felt like it moved at a snail’s pace down to the crime lab, and she didn’t wait for the doors to fully open before rolling through, banging her elbow on the door as she went. 

Letters flooded the wall screen, the results of the DNA analysis, indecipherable in her desperate mind. But this was not what she needed to know. “Compare to Dinah Laurel Lance, Born 1986 July 31st,” she instructed, completely still as the computers hummed, trapped in a pregnant moment. Barbara wanted to know, and she didn’t. She needed to, but was terrified of the answer. So she waited with baited breath, as still as a statue as each second crawled by.

One minute went by.

Two minutes.

[pm] Two-Face. 

I was not aware you interacted with her. The likes of you should not taint such an important scientific study. Your mind is diseased and will not be tolerated.

Welcome back. Miss. Lance is currently occupied at the moment. How may I be of assistance?

[pm] We're gonna find you okay? We're gonna find you and you're gonna be okay because you're ALWAYS okay. And then we're gonna have fun and everything's going to be like it used too. Before Bane... Before the Game... Everything's gonna be okay. We'll find you, I promise. I love you Dee... And I miss you.

[pm] Hey Dinah. I hope you know that we're going to come find you. You better. We don't know where you are right now, but we will soon. Your friend, Barbara, is helping us out. We're waiting on this machine to finish up telling us something. Roy and I are going to find you and we're going to bring you home. And when you get home, I'm going to yell at you for making us worry. After that, we'll all get milkshakes. Me, you, Charlie, and Roy. My treat, pretty bird. We miss you, Dinah. See you soon.

Day 4

She was supposed to get food for the pigs.

Huh, could pigs eat their bed shavings? That probably didn't have much nutritional value. There was some leftover, partly spoiled spinach in the fridge. Maybe they could eat that. Charlie could remember it was there, couldn't she? Charlie was smart. She wouldn't let the animals starve.
