Being Batgirl, Barbara had her fair share of injuries, the first time she got hurt badly enough that she took pain meds was when her and Robin decided to take on Two Face by themselves. Long story short a dislocated shoulder is painful, as is a knife to the thigh.
Dick had felt responsible and even thought he got got roughed up, his injuries where minor. Alfred patched her up and she had to sneak back into her house. She had taken a pain pill and fell asleep.
That morning she drug herself out of bed and limped to the kitchen, she took a pill right before the Commissioner walked in. Her father eyed her concerned, "Are you alright, Barbara?" He asked.
"Yeah, Dad. It's just girl problems, I feel like I have a baby panda inside me, jumping up and down with a chain saw." Barbara said knowing he had no idea what to do when she mentioned girl problems.
"I'm sorry, baby. Have you taken anything?" He asked.
" Oh, yeah. When the panda comes to play the advil chases it away." She started to laughing wildly. "Get it. It rymes."
"I have to go to work. Call me if you need anything." He left quickly.
Barbara called Alfred, "What did you give me? I find everything funny and I feel great, my shoulder and leg don't hurt. I feel floaty." She asked as she barely kept in a giggle.
"Mistress Gordon, how many did you take?" Alfred asked as he barely kept in a sigh.
"Three."
"Oh dear, you're only supposed to take one. It knocks the edge off. You'll be fine. Don't over do it again." Alfred answered.
They talked for a few more minutes then Barbara iced her shoulder and slept off the pain meds. Commissioner Gordon came home with chocolate.
"How are you feeling, sweetheart?" He asked. "The panda chased away?"
Barbara turned scarlet that was the worst conversation she'd ever had. A panda with a chainsaw? She would never live it down.
