All war is based on deception

When you're fighting the good fight, you do what you can however weak you are. And sometimes what you can is more than you could if you were stronger. BTVSBirds of Prey crossover

1. Prologue: Are You Ready To Be Strong?

Disclaimer: Birds of Prey (and supporting cast) belong to DC Comics. Buffy characters belong to Joss Wheedon and Mutant Enemy. Don't sue please.

Timeline: Should be obvious. Next part will be three months later.

Almost irrelevant changes to DC cannon: the Robin suit in the case in the Batcave belongs to Stephanie, not Jason. Leslie tried to save Spoiler in War Games and failed before leaving Gotham.

Any other mistakes I make with cannon are consequences of Superboy punching the time stream.

Timeline: Chosen (BTVS)/The Battle for Metropolis (DC)

Oracle then heard the complete message. Her immediate reaction was "Damnit! I don't have time for strength. I'm fighting to save the world here."

That didn't stop Oracle being flooded with power. "Thanks." Oracle smiled. "Now go away and let me fight this battle."

With that, Oracle returned her attention to her computer and coordinating the Battle for Metropolis, her newfound strength irrelevant.
