Robin's POV

Me and Batman are in the batmobile on the way to the debate. Batman tried calling Harvey, but he wouldn't listen. We make it to the debate and get on the rooftop Gordon is on.

Gordon: Batman. Robin.

We walk over.

Gordon: Yeah, all quiet so far.

Batman: I've got a feeling that's about to change.

Gordon looks at him.

Gordon: Just so we're clear. You and me— we're on shaky ground.

Batman: Jim, listen—

Gordon: No, listen to me. The excessive violence— it can't go on.

Batman: I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult spot, Jim. I value our working relationship.

Gordon: So do I, Batman. That's why I need you to rein it in.

Robin: We have bigger things to worry about right now.

Batman: Your security has been compromised.

Gordon: I've got patrols on every door!

Robin: You better check on them.

We then see Catwoman drop down on the roof. It surprises us, Gordon is about to pull out his gun.

Catwoman: I'd keep that holstered if I were you.

Gordon: What's she doing here?

Batman: I think she's mending her ways.

Catwoman: He's right, Lieutenant. I don't do the bad things any more. Unless it's on request.

Gordon: This better not come back to bite me.

He gets on his walkie.

Gordon: Alpha Patrol, come in.

Gordon walks away, leaving me, Batman, and Catwoman, Catwoman looks at Batman.

Catwoman: That... um... incident in the bar... Debt is it's own kind of cage— I can't stand being in it. Not that I needed your help or anything, but you had my back. I thought I'd repay the favor.

Batman: You don't owe me anything. Those scum had it coming.

Catwoman: And they say chivalry is dead.

She then looks at me.

Catwoman: Nice to see you too.

Robin: Hello there.

Gordon comes back.

Gordon: None of my men on the ground are responding.

Batman: Enough waiting. We're going in.

Gordon: Alpha— do you read?

Catwoman: Now aren't you glad I'm here?

Catwoman then whips over to the debate. Gordon looks at us.

Gordon: You have a better shot then my SWAT team of getting in there quietly.

Batman sends a drone inside, he then takes his grapple out.

Gordon: We are seriously underfunded at the GCPD.

Batman: Sounds like a vote for Dent, Lieutenant.

Batman grapples to the debate. I get out my grapple.

Gordon: Robin.

I look at him.

Robin: Yes?

Gordon: I... uh... heard from my daughter that you saved her. So thank you for that.
