SuperCorp Chronicles

Chapter 105

"Thanks for calling your dog." Batwoman said to Supergirl as she pet Superdog, who was sitting in front of her happily receiving pets on the head from Batwoman.

"Well, if we're looking for someone, we need the best tracker possible and there's no one better at tracking than Superdog, with his super sense of smell. He just needs a scent. Particularly something of Alice's, since it's been too long for anything of your mother's that you might still have to have a scent on it, but we can use Alice's scent to find her lair, which is likely where she's holding your mother, since I'm assuming that Alice would prevent your mother from speaking to keep her from being detected by my superhearing." Supergirl said as they stood on the roof of the Belfry.

"You never know. Just in case, let me play a recording of my mom's voice from back in the day that you can use to help track her." Batwoman said, since one thing Alice had in common with the Joker was how unpredictable she was.

"Thanks." Supergirl said as Kate played a video that had been taken the day of her bat mitzvah. The last day her family was happy. The day everything had changed for her.

It was a video of her parents saying how proud they were of her and Beth and wishing them a happy 13th birthday. Tears came to Kate's eyes as she listened to her mother's voice until she felt someone grab her hand and looked over to see Kelly holding it.

"We will get her back Kate. I promise." Kelly told her girlfriend, who smiled before wiping the tears away.

"I know we will. And I'm gonna put Alice away. And maybe one day I'll be able to pull my sister out of her, but in the meantime, my priority needs to be putting her where she can't hurt anyone. Especially since her crew, the Wonderland Gang, is stirring up some serious shit with this city's resident crime boss, Tobias Church and his crew." Kate said, since she was pretty sure that soon, Alice was going to ignite a turf war between the two.

"I've heard of Church. Bruce told me that he tried to take his act to Gotham a few years ago." Kara said.

"And was practically run out of town by my cousin. I just wish I could do the same, but unfortunately Tobias Church had his hooks into Hub City long before I showed up here. But I'll worry about him more once my mom is safe and Alice is locked up." Kate said.

"Locked up where exactly, since I don't think it's safe to transport her to Arkham in Gotham City." Kara said.

"Which is why we've built a brand new facility here in Hub City to serve the same function for us that Arkham serves in Gotham. We call it the Brig. It's a next generation prison that's actually been built in the bay, to keep the criminals isolated from the outside world. Luke and I personally consulted on its construction to make sure that it doesn't have the same flaws of Arkham." Kate said.

"Impressive. But it does abide by the law right?" Kara asked, since no members of the Justice League should be violating the laws regarding criminal rights.

"Don't worry, it's all above board and Batwoman conducts weekly inspections to make sure that the prisoners are treated humanely, since the goal is to rehabilitate them. And Alice has a cell waiting for her there." Kate assured her.

"Good. But anyways, let's get back to why I'm here. Do you have something Krypto can use to get Alice's scent?" Kara asked.

"Yep. During our last fight, I managed to grab one of her gloves." Kate said as she grabbed it and brought it to Krypto for him to sniff.

After he finished sniffing the glove, Krypto took a minute to sniff the air before he growled and flew out the window.

"Well, he's got the scent. Mind if I give you a lift?" Supergirl asked Batwoman, since they both suited up already, but she knew that Batman hated it when Superman flew him around.

"By all means. The faster we get there, the faster we save my mom. Kelly, track my suit and call Luke. Tell him to use his suit's HUD to track mine and meet us there, since I'm gonna need his help." Batwoman said to her girlfriend.

"Consider it done." Kelly said.

"No time to wait for you to get there, since right now I think that Supergirl can only carry one of us and Luke's suit can fly. Plus, I need you to make sure that Ryan and Harper don't try to sneak out to join us, since they're not ready for this fight." Batwoman said and Kelly nodded as Supergirl grabbed Batwoman and flew out out the Belfry.

"It probably wouldn't hurt to give Barbara a heads up to get a squad ready to transport Alice to the Brig." Kelly said as she pulled out her phone.
