Evy/ Red P.O.V
Being grounded wasn't too awful. I enjoyed being at home & resting from my chaotic life. With the city relatively safe, we got back to our normal lives. I could go without the snobs at school. I enjoyed texting Oswald between classes as work was more relaxing anyway. He got everything under control.
Butch retired until I came back. He didn't trust Ozy to keep his word with me gone & I couldn't blame him. Tabby was still in the hospital but was awake. She still needed a few days to recover from her injuries. I wished I could visit her but I could call her. She urged me to keep tabs on Barbara. I swore to as I had a few men protecting her.
She appreciated the help as she resettled. I thought for a moment that she was out of this life but she was slowly making a comeback as a less crazy version. She shared her plans of making a girls crime ring, hopefully, run by the 3 of us. I entertained her plans & couldn't deny that it was very appealing. She even started brainstorming names & was settling on "The Gotham Sirens" or "Sirens" for short.
I enjoyed the solitude & peace of my room. With the weekend, I lazily did my homework. I still have a criminal empire to help run & was more focused on that. I could still terrify people over the phone & had plenty of enthusiastic people to enforce my orders.
Bruce left to talk with Selina which Alfred was somewhat ok with. I think he let him go since he was doing something normal for a change. The house was peaceful for a few hours until I heard Gordon & Fox's muffled voices. I stopped doing my work to come down & see what the fuss was in the study.
"How could you do this Master Bruce?! I strictly forbid you from involving that little girl, didn't I?" Alfred wailed on him after we heard his confession about endangering Selina
"I know. Bu Selina's always handled herself. I was sure." He explained
"Once again, you were wrong. Christ sake, it never crossed your mind that this might be out of her league! I swear to god Bruce if she's dead. I will make you suffer in ways you can't imagine." I threatened as my anger at his selfishness boiled over
"Excluding the death threat, Mistress Evy has a point. It's different if you choose to be involved in something like this, but you actively involved Selina Kyle. You put your own concerns in front of that girl's safety!" Alfie agreed
"You're bang out of order! I'm really disappointed in you, Master Bruce." He finished
"Are you sure she's still there?" Gordon cut in
"Yes. She wouldn't have missed our meeting otherwise. Strange must be holding her prisoner in Arkham." He dryly answered, probably from our thrashing & his own guilt
"Only I doubt she's in Arkham. I wager Strange has her in the secret lab where he created Azrael." Fox guessed which made me even more nervous
"But Strange runs Arkham. He's seen there every day. The lab must be accessed through Arkham." Gordon pondered
"You're thinking it's underground." Fox replied
"Has to be. There must be stairs, an elevator, ventilation shafts. I just don't know how to find them." Gordon said
"I may have a solution." Fox suggested
"The technology Strange is using to create these monsters must be very advanced. My guess is he's using plutonium isotopes to mutate cell structure. If so, there'll be trace radiation." He explained which intrigued all of us
"At Wayne Enterprises, I developed a miniature Geiger counter for battlefield use. Get me into Arkham & I'll find the entrance to that lab." He offered
