Multiverse Reborn: Batwoman

Chapter 9

The next day, Kate entered her office to find Luke waiting for her.

"Is everything okay?" Kate asked.

"Just kind of surprised that you didn't go out again last night as the Bat." Luke said.

"It's Batwoman and I needed a night to absorb the fact that my stepmother had my sister's death faked." Kate said.

"That's fair." Luke agreed.

"Exactly. But anyways, even though I'm turning this place into a real estate firm, I still have authority over all Wayne Enterprise facilities and assets right?" Kate asked.

"Yeah why?" Luke asked.

"I want you to have all bat tech stored in any of them transferred to the Batcave until further notice, especially any weapons capable of penetrating the suit." Kate said.

"Will do. But I thought you'd like to know that we might have a new gang problem in Gotham." Luke said.

"Great, like Gotham doesn't have enough problems with gangs already." Kate said.

"Well this one is weird." Luke said.

"Weird how?" Kate asked.

"Reports of their movements last night pegged them all wearing rabbit masks." Luke said, causing Kate to freeze slightly.

"We need to find them. Tap into GCPD, the Crows, every surveillance system in Gotham, I want us hacked into all of it." Kate said.

"I'm on it, but why the sudden change of heart." Luke asked.

"Gotham has enough problems without adding a new group of crazy people to the mix. I want to get them dealt with quickly and the fastest way to do that is to find their leader." Kate said and Luke nodded in acceptance of that answer.

"I'll arrange for the tech transfer." Luke said.

"Good, I don't want anyone thinking they can steal weapons to use against Batwoman." Kate said and Luke nodded.

"Our smash and grab last night did not have the effect you thought it would. There was no sign of this elusive bat." one of the rabbits reported to a blonde haired woman.

"I told you Batman isn't back. It's just an imposter. We proceed with the plan tonight." the woman said.

"I'm just curious, why wait until now to make your move on Gotham? We've been ready for years?" another rabbit asked curiously.

The other rabbits looked at him like he was crazy for questioning her, but the woman just waved him off.

"It's alright, it's not like curiosity ever killed anyone." the woman said, right as she tossed a butterfly knife into his throat.

"Oh right, the cat." the woman said.

"He does have a point Alice." another rabbit dumbly said.

"You're not being paid to question me. Get back to work doing your job before you join your friend." Alice said, annoyed at the insubordination.

"You heard her." a new voice said and Alice turned to see a man wearing Crows gear walk in.

"Hello Dodgeson, so, did you get it?" Alice asked.

"There is a reason I infiltrated the Crows." Dodgeson said as he pulled out flash drive, which Alice quickly plugged into a computer.

"Perfect. This has everything I was hoping it would." Alice said with a grin.

"It wasn't easy to get without drawing suspicion. I was only able to since commander Kane was out yesterday. Moore was a bit more distracted, so I could pull this off." Dodgeson said.

"And I thank you for it. Hopefully you won't have to keep listening to Commander Kane much longer. Trust me, I feel your pain on that one." Alice said.

"It'll be worth it in the end if we can make them both pay." Dodgeson said.

"No one touches Kate. For all her faults, she's still my sister. No one messes with her but me." Alice insisted and Dodgeson nodded.

"I was just saying that after what they both did to you, they should pay." Dodgeson said.

"And they will. But only when and how I say." Alice said.

"Understood. Now, I'd better get back to the Crows before I'm missed." Dodgeson said and Alice nodded as she let him walk out of the building.
