No, wait. DCU/Lone Gunmen is obviously a Birds of Prey story. Oracle first messages Frohike out of the blue when the LGM are getting a little bit too close to figuring out some of the secrets of Gotham City, and very effectively keeps him distracted.
"You don't even know if Oracle is male or female!" Langly moans after far too many days of listening to his panegyrics for his new internet friend. "They could be a non-embodied AI and I wouldn't care. Still hot."
Frohike never manages to find out anything personal about Oracle, but she kind of starts to like him, and respect his skills, despite herself, and keeps up the correspondence, once in awhile even getting the LGM to do some research or hacking or publicity for one of her projects.
...then the Birds of Prey start dropping in for visits or pitstops now and then, and Langley changes his mind about Oracle's potential hotness.
Yves must be involved with the caped set somehow, but I don't think we ever find out exactly how, except that she seems to know all of them and they all know her.
ETA: Eventually they end up involved enough in some sort of adventure that Frohike meets Barbara Gordon in person (though she doesn't admit she's Oracle and he's too much of a gentleman to call her on it) and they tango. And it is beautiful.
Presence of anything else in XF canon fully optional. :)
