Barbara's Web
It had taken Barbara Gordon a full hour to realize that searching for Big Blue was an utter waste of time. She relished the challenge of course, but there was a better way. After all, this individual was not supposed to exist. He did exist of course, but he had no birth certificate, no driver's license, no financial transactions. Lots of theories, no facts.
No, the smart money was on Scott and Barda Free. They did have such things as a driver's license and even green cards. They had pulled a disappearing act, but maybe they didn't go too far. She had cast her net far and wide, over the entire world in fact. One transaction, that was all it would take. She worked and waited.
It was the shopping habits of Barda Free that finally gave her away two nights later. Barbara's web caught someone using Barda's account in Connecticut to purchase sunglasses. But by that point, it was too late.
