DC Universe- 2100

"Good. I knew I could count on you, Lorie. Oh, and there's plenty of alloy to play with. I'll be right back.", Derek tells her before heading outside, seeing Bat-Girl and Nightwing.

Edgar worked on organizing the old batcave under the mansion

Nightwing looked over seeing Derek approaching.

Derek wipes his hands and looks over at the two, glancing back and forth between them. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Angie says, pulling back her mask and leaving to take a shower.

Nightwing pulled his mask off for the first time in front of them. "Plenty." He said flatly.

Derek sighs and gestures to the men's showers. "You can go there and rinse off."

Joseph nods heading to the showers. "Joseph by the way."

"Welcome, Joseph. Don't use all the warm water.".

"No promises." Joseph said walking inside.

Derek lets Lorie know that he's going out, promising that it's not to a bar before leaving the cave.

Cat-Woman makes her way to Gotham to find Batman.

Batman stood ontop of a building, placing out markers at certain spots in the city.

Cat-Woman springs up and tackles Batman. "Hey, there, tiger," she says playfully.

Batman had noticed someone coming a while ago and was ready to react appropriately to a person sneaking up and tackling him from behind but offered little resistance when he realised who it was. "Cat-Woman?", he says, almost surprised. She'd been abscent for some time now. "You're back."

"I have? You sound like you've been counting the seconds. Missed me that much?" She says, getting up.

He wasn't going to admit it, but she had a familiar presence about her that made him more calm. "It's a relief, at least. To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"

"How about saving your neck again? I heard through the grape vine that a collection of enterprising individuals with a beef against your 'Justice League' are planning an assault against your Watchtower. From what I can tell, they're going to hit Central City and Keystone too as a distraction," Cat-Woman says.


Kasumi had taken to the rooftops again to think. Before long, though, she'd grown tired of the internal debate and decided that her hunt for the Bat would go on. She'd worry about the rest of them later.

"If what you're saying is true then I have to go quiet about this before talking to the others. How do you know you weren't followed?"

Cat-Woman smiles. "I don't," she says. "But you've got my back, don't you, tiger?"

"Seems like everytime we meet I end up that way, yes.", Batman answers with a very slight change in the corner of his mouth.

"Ask nicely and next time I might cover you instead," Cat-Woman says before turning and strolling off.

"I don't think I would mind that...", Batman mutters, unconciously glancing her over before noticing something off with her steps.

She stops at the edge of the rooftop and looks over her shoulder. "See ya 'round." Then she turns back and leaps over, her whip in hand.

Batman walks over to the edge seeing her swing off. He had a terrible nagging feeling in the back of his head but he couldn't quite figure out why. It couldn't possibly be the Vampire Bat. He had noticed her earlier, jumping over the rooftops.
