She refuses to kill Punchline, knowing that she won't do it, and one of the team will have to do it (which means Damian will be the one). Once the job is done, they are released, but Harvey Dent is dead. Damian knows that Punchline has a plan, and Barbara doesn't need to do her part. He freed them for that reason, the other reason she can't trust him after what he had done to kill a person.
