Spider-Man then gave Batman the thumb drive, at a loss for words. "So, you brought Spider-Man over to the Batcave, huh?" Barbara asked as she shook Spidey's hand, "I'm Oracle. I heard Peter Parker took pictures of you for The Daily Bugle." Spider-Man nodded and said in a deep (and obviously fake) voice, "yeah, that's totally true. He was a good photographer." Batman tilted his head and asked, "why are you speaking in a deep voice? Your voice doesn't sound like that." Spider-Man said in his fake voice, "yeah it is. I'm just fighting a cold." Barbara chuckled and said, "I heard you were funny. But anyway, I'm a friend of his. If you see him, can you tell him I said hi?"

"I don't think you need to worry about that," said Spider-Man as he slipped back into his natural voice. "Why's that?" Barbara asked. Peter then took off his mask, revealing his face to Barbara. Barbara's eyes widened in shock. Peter smiled sheepishly and said, "surprise..."  Batman wasn't sure what to say. "Peter... You're... Spider-Man?!?!?!" Barbara asked in complete, utter, shock. "And you work for Batman..." Peter awkwardly said, rubbing his arm. He eyed the black and yellow Batgirl costume that was hung up next to the old Robin costume that Dick Grayson and Jason Todd wore. "And you're Batgirl..." Peter said, flabbergasted. "Was Batgirl," corrected Barbara, "I think we should talk. Privately." Peter nodded in agreement, and they went to a more private area in the Batcave. The two looked at each other awkwardly, unsure of what to say, or who should start the conversation. "So... How long have you been working for Batman?" Peter asked, trying to break the tension. "Well, it was a month after Dad and I attended your uncle's funeral," explained Barbara, "I went to a costume party in my own handmade costume, But then it ended up like Die Hard. You know, hostage situation. I stopped the crooks, and I really got something out of it. I started going out as Batgirl more often, got Batman and Robin's attention, and ended up working alongside them. They even gave me that black and yellow costume, and if I'm going to be completely honest I like that costume more."

"I agree, that costume is way cooler," said Peter as he smiled. "Believe me Peter, I wanted to tell you I was Batgirl," said Barbara, "but I was sworn to secrecy... There are a lot of things I wish I could've told you... Such as the fact that Joker shot me, causing me to be crippled, and then he violated me just to drive my father mad... And I had to suffer for it, because now I can't walk or be Batgirl ever again..." She looked down at her useless legs. Talking to Dinah about that fateful day was easy. But telling it to Peter, the one person she really cared about, that was where Barbara felt the most vulnerable. "Why didn't you tell me?" Peter asked, putting his hand on her shoulder. Barbara tearfully looked at Peter and said, "you were already going through enough after Gwen... I didn't want you to worry about me..." Peter sighed and said, "if we're going to open up about our secrets, it only seems fair that I start from the beginning." Peter then poured his entire heart out to Barbara, explaining about the radioactive spider, the burglar he failed to stop that murdered his Uncle Ben, and everything else he had to endure as Spider-Man, including his guilt complex. Barbara felt so bad for him. "Believe me Barbara, I wanted to tell you I was Spider-Man," he said, "but I was so afraid if I told you, some villain would try to harm you, just like Osborn did with Gwen... I'm sorry I never told you..."

"And I'm sorry for not telling you everything either," said Barbara, "we can't really call each other out. Then we'd be here all night, saying you're one to talk, you did this, you did that..." Peter smiled sympathetically and hugged Barbara. Barbara hugged back, feeling a weight was off her shoulders. "Okay, let's make a deal with each other," negotiated Peter, "from now on, whatever happens, we'll no longer hide secrets from each other. How's that sound?" Barbara smiled and said, "deal." They shook hands with each other. They then left the private area to learn more about Symbiotes.
