How many times did Buffy die again?
There's a reason for where that phrase was born.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How many times did Buffy die again?
Did she flatline after getting shot by Warren? I honestly can't remember.

Was there time travel involved?
I don't think that she did die when Warren shot her --but she was dying so -- umm, twice?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Nah, that was Sahjahn and Holtz.

Sumi, at least Roy's stopped *sleeping* with the bad guys... and Rose used to be one of the good guys, once upon a time.
She came back to the present eventually for various Bart-related reasons other people can explain better than me.
Bart, being born all extra-tied-in to the Speed Force and all, was aging rapidly "at two, he looked ten" and all that. The government was raising him in VR, and Iris figured out they had no intention of actually helping him, so she spirited him back to the past where she sought Wally's help. At some point, we met Bart's mother, and learned that the Bad Government Head Dude was *her* father, thus Bart's grandfather. And, err. More stuff. It's complex.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Okay, going back to the scene from a couple of weeks ago where Leslie is checking Gotham adoption records, I have a thought. Probably a thought that everyone else has had, but I haven't heard anyone say it yet.
In yesterday's Batgirl, when Batgirl asks Leslie if she's seen Spoiler, based on the first panel of Leslie's reaction, I'm thinking that Spoiler is actually Leslie's biological daughter. Though, is there any actual canon evidence one way or another that Steph is or is not adopted?

Wow.
Teppy -- I hadn't considered that at all.

Really? It (the reaction panel where Leslie looks worried/shocked/scared) seemed straight out of a soap opera to me.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Steph, I doubt it, if only because Spoiler's dad is the Cluemaster--worst supervillain name ever!--and someone I sincerely doubt Leslie would ever become involved with.
