* kitty is getting ready in her room for a business meeting in Wayne enterprises on behalf of her father, she is doing her hair and make up and having to wear heels and a dress, she's looking at herself in the mirror realizing this isn't her and how uncomfortable she is. She walks downstairs to the garage about to get in her new car when she sees Logan in the garage, she hasn't spoken to him in a few days and they exchange glances and he walks away as she exhales annoyed*// Kitty- you don't have to ignore me * he keeps walking away as Kitty gets in her car annoyed and drives to Wayne enterprises and she walks in greeting the staff and she walks to Bruce's desk and sits down as the paperwork is dropped on the desk and she reads through them glancing at the picture on his desk of Kitty, Dick and Jason as kids with Bruce and Alfred and she picks it up and her heart hurts as she takes a deep breath as the door knocks and lucious fox walks in*//Kitty- hi, I've not seen you in so long// Lucious- you've gotten more beautiful since the last time I've saw you// Kitty- to be fair that was a long time again, how are you? * they talk and catch up about the last few years and Bruce and new gadgets he had made for Batman and then she's caught up to the meeting as they both walk to the meeting room and Kitty sits at the head of the table greeting everyone as she listens to the proposals of the board member and signs off on  some projects and she walks around the building checking on projects before returning to Bruce's office where a man is sitting down waiting she walks to him as the stands*\\ Kitty- I'm so sorry to keep you waiting Mr Crane * they shake hands as Kitty sits at the desk*\\ Crane- it was no bother, it's an honor to meet you miss Wayne Pryde // Kitty- oh it's just Pryde, I'm told you have a proposition for my fathers company to do with physic-pharmaceuticals?// Crane- yes and I bring my findings straight from Arkham asylum * Kitty looks at him and raises an eyebrow* don't be too alarmed miss Pryde as the lead physiatrist I assure you it's all safe// Kitty- please pitch your idea and why our company should invest * for an hour they engage in conversation about creating medicines to cure insanity*\\ Kitty- I'm sorry but I don't think that's possible at least not with the drugs you are describing to me I just don't see no probability of that curing insanity and I'm not sure that the company can fund that// Crane- I'm aware how crazy it sounds// Kitty- it's impossible// Crane- don't you wish that you could cure anxiety and depression and all the other common mental disorders before they become to erratic and it's too late// Kitty- I'm sorry but there is no magical cure to fix those things it's a common reaction to trauma, neglect and abuse and all other things that impact someone// crane- you speak from experience// Kitty- that's correct and that's how I know that this isn't going to see results as much as I wish it did// Crane- humor me for a seccond would you, what is your diagnosis// Kitty- I don't think that's very appropriate, I'm sorry// crane- with the investment we can begin mass production// Kitty- and more drugs to more side effects to more crime to more chaos, im sorry Mr Crane but we won't be investing. I appreciate the thought and time that went into this whole theory and possibly when my father wakes up you can come back but as for me on behalf of Wayne enterprises it's a no * he packs up his papers putting them in a suitcase clearly annoyed*// Crane- I understand and I understand you don't want to take chances when you're father is so ill at the moment. I appreciate you taking the time to hear me out and actually engage in conversation about the matter// Kitty- of course  what you do is valuable and I hope that your  commitment  pays off// Crane- it already has * he stands smiling at himself* you are a very smart gir, I'm glad to have had the chance to chat, hopefully we will have plenty more opportunities * she smiles*// Kitty- me too, good luck in the future and take care // Crane- and you * he walks out of the office as she looks over more paperwork  and then a signs more funding towards children and education and free meals and then she drives to the florists then hospital to see Alfred sleeping in a chair beside Bruce as she frowns her heart hurting as she sees a half asleep Alfred*\\ Kitty- Alfred you neet to go home and rest// Alfred- I just dozed off miss Kitty I'm alright now don't you worry*\\ Kitty- it's my turn, dick will be taking over tonight so just let me do this while you take care and get ready for a shift tonight on watch okay// Alfred- I like to keep busy//Kitty-and I need you on top form * Alfred says goodbye and leaves as Kitty empties out a vase of the dead flowers and puts the fresh flowers in and rearranges them humming to herself and then sits down*\\ Kitty- how you can run that place I'll never know because I just had to meet  someone  saying they can cure mental health and that's just mind blowing * she looks at Bruce* I really need a hug and I just want you here.... I'm really starting to feel down again and I want you to wake up and make it all okay like you always do * hours pass as she falls asleep in the chair as she jumps awake gasping and panting heavy to    alarms as she walks out of the room to see a bed being wheeled in and a man scremaing*\\ Nurse- it's the scarecrows scare gas, no need to worry honey we see enough of these lately * Kitty frowns as the woman walks away and she returns to Bruce and she exhales and looks at her fathers face then calls Tim to come see Bruce and then she texts Logan with no reply and then Tim and Alfred turn up as Kitty goes to her car and drives to the batcave on the computer just feeling overwhelmed and depressed. She suits up and heads out on patrol alone she goes to a location of the docks and hides out watching black masks men hanging around the docks, after a while a ship is being unloaded and she intercepts taking them out and and cuffs them all to the fence as she opens a box with her batterang and she finds weapons and she shakes her head annoyed as she sends a signal to the police for pick up and she waits opening the other boxes as she hears a radio and a man talking, she picks up the radio*\\ black mask- have you picked up the shipment???
