[ Arguing with Bruce was a bit of a right of passage, wasn't it? Barbara hadn't done it with the newest one, hadn't done it with anyone here yet. Damian shouting at her while in an emotional tailspin notwithstanding, as she hadn't yelled back. She hadn't even yelled at Dick. But fighting with Bruce wasn't exactly surprising by any means.
Barbara sipped at her coffee as he spoke, considering what appeared to be sincerity, even if his overreaction had made her a little more patiently wary, making her approach this more the way she might have with Steph or Cass in their first, or worst, years. Even at their worst, Jason, Bruce, Damian, Dick himself at times, they were all worth biding her time through it.
And she doubted this Dick was as done with that battle as he sounded. The universe never let someone martial themselves so simply as flipping a switch. ]

I would like that.
