Small intermission before an analysis of the Bat family problem. Here's a little tidbit from Yin. I figure after her minor interrogation last chapter, it only makes sense.
"You have to admit there's something going on with them. Who gets robbed and then just doesn't show up afterwards?" Yin questioned her partner.
"You heard Alfred, they were scared, shaken up. I wouldn't want to talk to the cops after that either," Ethan argued.
"Then how do you explain those blood results?"
"They came back as negative to all registered people. Those tests don't even cross check for dead people, and Shadowrule may have been dead for centuries," he defended.
"Except they're not dead. And even if they were, they both speak too modern of a dialect to have been for very long. Shadow even displays the same smooth confidence as Kira. The same goes for the awkward way Phantom does things."
"They were travelling together, maybe they each picked it up."
"Except Kira denied spending any time with Shadow. It seemed as though she was completely forgetting her story, which is why I smell a cover-up."
"Well I'm telling you there is no way my best friend is Batman. He would have told me," Ethan denied.
"I hate to say this Ethan, but you're a cop; an officer of the law. We were tasked with stopping the Batman at one point. I know you and Bruce are friends, but I also know Bruce and the Batman are smart people. As much as he trusts you, telling you a secret like that could be dangerous for him. He would weigh the risks. The only reason I can think that he even chose to trust the Phantoms is that they must have somehow already known."
"As much as you keep trying to convince me, I'm not believing it. See you Yin," he finished before walking out of the room.
"Bennett! Oh, he's never going to believe me," she muttered to herself. "Kira Blake has to be Shadowrule, James is Danny Phantom, Bruce must be Batman, and that makes Dick Robin. How can he not see it? All I need is a piece of solid proof: Kira's blood. Then I'll know, even just by seeing it."
Not that there's really anything to do with said information, she thought. I just have to know and make this finally seem like case closed.
