Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| The Oracle Code (Comic Book) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Barbara is The Ace with hacking skills and stamina to go roof hopping, plus her dad taught her self-defense. This means she thinks that she'll be fine watching crime scenes from a distance, since she may want to become a cop someday. A stray bullet catches her from an active police confrontation, despite the precautions that she took; sometimes life is a bitch when you risk it. | |

Gaslighting | |
| The Oracle Code (Comic Book) / int_727a65e0 | comment |
Gaslighting: After Jena's brother Michael disappears, Babs is told by Maxwell and Lachlan that Michael supposedly died in the fire that killed Jena's parents and she was only imagining he was still alive. Jena herself later vanishes, but Babs and her friend are able to find concrete evidence outside the institute that Michael definitely survived alongside Jena. | |

| The Oracle Code (Comic Book) / int_74f57438 | comment |
Cell Phones Are Useless: When Babs finally starts putting things together about the missing kids her phone doesn't have enough signal to send messages or get calls out. Later when cornered by the armed corrupt doctor in the private ward she still can't get a call to connect, and it's implied the doctors installed a jammer. | |

Posthumous Character | |
| The Oracle Code (Comic Book) / int_8b568cb7 | comment |
Posthumous Character: Clara Maxwell died when she was eleven, and learning about her informs Babs what Jena meant when she said her stories had truth to them, since she'd turned Clara into one of her bedtime stories before disappearing. Clara's portrait also turns out to hide the entrance to the private ward. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Barbara likes watching police work in real-time, by following her dad's scanner. She didn't consider that even if she's on the roof and a distance away, that stray crossfire could get her. | |

Rewatch Bonus | |
| The Oracle Code (Comic Book) / int_97926168 | comment |
Rewatch Bonus: On the first read through it really does seem like Jena was just denying her brother's death in her grief before Ben comes across news of the fire that killed their parents and sees that both kids survived, but when she first appears in the background she's actually standing next to her brother. | |

Handicapped Badass | |
| The Oracle Code (Comic Book) / int_a7b324e | comment |
Handicapped Badass: Babs loses the use of her legs early on, but not her hacking or lock picking abilities or tenacity and as Ben notes her therapy means that she's physically stronger than ever before too. She manages to take down a pair of corrupt doctors who have been experimenting on patients the public won't notice missing. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Oracle Code (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: While it’s not even clear if superheroes exist in the setting as more than franchises with merchandise Yeong wears a denim jacket with Superman and Wonder Woman badges, and wears an Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld shirt one day and a Green Lantern shirt the next, Ben's jacket has a Cadmus badge and Micheal has a Teen Titans Go! style Robin doll, that ends up being left behind at first when he's taken. The girls also play card games with a Batman deck. The only indication heroes might be a thing is a picture on Ben's laptop of him and Babs with the Bat-signal in the background. | |
