Stephanie remembers what it's like to die painfully and she really can't blame Howard for having a fear of such a death. She gives him a look of sympathy. "It obviously doesn't mean much, but if I can help it I won't let that happen, Howard."

The scraps of fabric are piled together with a few set aside for when she gets ahold of the guy. "Yeah, I got the whole death arena talk when I arrived. I even jumped through a few hoops for no real reason that I can see other than they needed a few giggles." She wants to blurt out 'TRUST ME, I'M BATGIRL,' but that would probably just make him really think she was nuts, plus Tim would make a face when he found out she blew the whole secret thing. Again.
