Shelby Young as Barbara Gordon

I had skills and abilities long before I became Batgirl.

It was time to make them work for me again.

It was time to stop being afraid.

Just in here.

Thank you.

With a grant from the Wayne Foundation, I set up shop in my bedroom.

I put together as powerful a computer setup as I could.

One thing I knew how to do was research, and thanks to my modem, I could tap into databases worldwide.

I discovered I had an affinity for computer hacking, and I started to make some money.

Right here we go.

I got into the internet before the general public really knew what it was.

And I discovered a world there.

The internet was a community of people talking, arguing, romancing, helping one another.

And you didn't even have to use your real name.

You were simply who you were online.

I found an enormous freedom and complete acceptance there.

And for a time in my life, the cybernet was more real to me than the world outside my window.

In a strange way, I became more real to me as well.

More content.

More happy.
