Roof of the Iceberg Lounge:
Batwoman looked down at her city and was amazed on how peaceful it had become, then she thought the date as today marked the day she started being a vigilante. She started the mission to save and protect Gotham five months ago, she was surprised that people supported her and the GCPD, the police counted her as an asset in case things got too difficult. She was about to go back home when she heard an alarm go off, she jumped off the roof and used her cape as a glide down and landed on a lower building and that's when she saw some figures running out of a bank, Batwoman jumped off the building to stop them.
Wayne Manor, next morning:
Chloe walked downstairs to have some breakfast when she saw the mail had came by, she walked to it and picked it up and saw the headline of the newspaper: Batwoman: Gotham's guardian angel! Chloe was surprised that she was being called Gotham's guardian angel, that made her feel special so she took the mail to her parents who were in the kitchen.
Chloe walked into the kitchen and saw her parents chatting and laughing, Chloe loved seeing her parents like this and hoped that they never left her. She walked into the kitchen and handed the newspaper to her dad who smiled at the headline.
"Listen to this, Selina," Bruce smiled, Selina stopped preparing breakfast then looked over Bruce's shoulder as she looked at the newspaper. "Batwoman: Gotham's guardian angel. Since she appeared out of nowhere, the crime has dropped thanks to heroics of Batwoman. The GCPD is truly thankful that Batwoman is helping them clean up all the evil and later today, Batwoman will be rewarded the Key to the City from the Mayor and Captain Harvey Bullock of the GCPD."
"Wow Chloe, great job!" Congratulated Selina, she was so proud of their daughter that she was started to cry with happiness. "Me and your father are very proud of you. All of Gotham thinks of you as a hero!" Chloe felt so proud that she didn't realize that she too had started to cry tears of happiness.
"I can't believe after everything I've done for the city that they want to give me the Key To The City!" Chloe screamed, her parents hugged their daughter has today marked the day as Batwoman becoming Gotham's symbol of hope.
Later that day:
There was a huge crowd outside the GCPD cheering for their symbol of hope, Harvey walked out the GCPD alongside James Gordon and the Mayor of Gotham. Harvey walked up to the stage and tapped on the microphone to check if it was working. Bruce and Selina arrived with Alfred, they walked towards the stage and waited for their daughter to arrive.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome and today we are here to thank someone who has risked their life to save people and helped us cut down on crime," Harvey announced then everyone started clapping and cheering for their hero to arrive and a few moments later, everyone looked up to see Batwoman gliding in then landed next to the stage. "Here is our hero; Batwoman!" The Press were taking photos of Batwoman and when Batwoman shook the Harvey's hand and then the Mayor's hand, the Press were taking loads of photos. "Now everyone, Batwoman will talk to all of you." Batwoman walked over to the microphone and pushed her hair out of her face.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen. Before you ask any questions, let me tell you why I do this," Announced Batwoman, she looked at the crowds as they were cheering for her and photos being taken of her. "I started this mission to make Gotham a better place; better than what it was before I started. I decided to stop crime even if people disliked a vigilante doing the police job but hear me out; I asked the GCPD for us to work together and the Captain said yes and from then on, we work and help each other. Any questions?" The Press started throwing all sorts of questions at the heroine until Batwoman picked a random reporter.
"I'm Valerie Vale with the Gotham Gazette, why do you fight with a mask?" People stopped cheering when Valerie asked the important question. "You say that you fight for justice but how we trust someone who wears a mask?"
"If we can't trust people with masks on then what's the point of masquerade balls?" Joked Batwoman joked which made people laugh. "On to serious answers; I have important people in my life that I don't want to get harmed for me protecting the city. I'm sure you all can understand me protecting my loved ones with a mask." Everyone nodded and Miss Vale was impressed with the heroine's answer.
"I'm Peter Kent with City Times, what made you want to become a hero?" The journalist asked and Batwoman coughed, she thought about for a short moment of time then gave her answer.
"Everywhere I looked, there were people being murdered, robbed, attacked or worse and something inside me told me to make a difference." Batwoman explained. Meanwhile in the audience, Bruce and Selina were crying as they watched their daughter answer questions from the Press. "I wanted to help people, give them something to have faith in." Batwoman looked at Harvey who nodded indicated time up.
"Now everyone, enough questions!" Harvey called out, the Mayor handed the Key to the City to Harvey who showed it to everyone. "Now, we at the GCPD and the Mayor would like to give you, Batwoman, the Key to the City as a token of our thanks." Harvey handed the Key to Batwoman who accepted it. Batwoman shook Captain Bullock's hand then she shook the Mayor's hand.
Some secret hideout:
Oswald 'The Penguin' Cobbleport was drinking a cocktail and watching the television but he got a huge shock when he saw Batwoman get given the Key to the City which made him very angry.
"I took crime to manageable level and get nothing but this Batwoman takes crime down and SHE GETS THE KEY TO THE CITY!" Oswald shouted, he tossed his drink and as the glass shattered, the shards broke and stabbed two of his men. "Man up, you useless asses!" Oswald was extremely angry. The doors burst open and when Oswald checked who it was, he was surprised to see many faces including Barbara Keane, Victor Freeze, Leslie Thompkins and Edward Nygma. Barbara stepped up and walked towards Oswald and instead of her threatening to end his life, Barbara said something which surprised Mister Penguin.
"I see we all have a mutual enemy. What do you say Oswald, wanna join our fun?" Asked Barbara with her flirtatious tone of voice. Oswald smiled, he clapped his hands then all his men including Victor Zsasz came running out with all their guns and weapons.
"Miss Keane, does our mutual wear a bat mask and now has the key to the city?" Inquired Oswald, Barbara nodded which made Oswald feel even more happier. "Well then, how can I say no to such a fun offer?" Oswald and Barbara shook hands and both smiled, they were about to give the new hero a fight that she could not win.
So, looks like Batwoman got a big fight coming up. Will she be victorious or will she lose more than just the fight? You'll just have to wait and find out!
