Author's Notes: Adventures of Batwoman Season 1 takes place at the same time as Adventures of Supergirl Season 5. In this continuity, Kara lives in Metropolis and Gotham, and also in this continuity, the two cities are across from one another separated by the bay consistent with the DCEU. This fic is in the Adventures series and so many characters will act OOC accordingly. It is helpful but not necessary to be familiar with Adventures of Supergirl before coming to this fic. If you want to read more, the Adventures series also covers Midvale and Adventures of Overgirl.

In Gotham City, a red sportscar sped through the busy street having no care in the world whether they hit anyone. A wannabe Joker and Harley Quinn were laughing it up as they went on their joy ride. The Batmobile was soon on their trail. "Come on, Puddin, do it!" Harley shouted nonsensically.

"We've got company," Joker smiled as he saw the Batmobile in his rearview mirror.

Batsy, Batsy, Batsy," Harley grinned insanely.

The Batmobile opened machine gun turrets and aimed at their car. "Puddin?" Harley wondered fearfully. The Batmobile unloaded on them blasting out their rear tires and shattering their rear window. Joker was shot multiple times fatally as he drove his car off the pier and into the water. Batman got out of his car, put it on auto-pilot, and then dived into the water. As he went to get the injured Harley Quinn, she tried to resist him, so he punched her to the face knocking her out. Batman then dragged her ass onto the pier in front of a crowd of people.

"Hey, you can't do that to a woman," a white knight figure said to Batman.

"Yeah, that's misogynist," another woman agreed.

"And what about all that gun violence?" one man brought up.

"I saw him take down Deadshot the other day. That's racist!" a black man declared.

"Why does it have to be Batman and not Bat-person," another brought up.

Batman stared at the crowd dumbfounded. "You know what? Fuck it," he said leaving.

Adventures of Batwoman

Kate Kane found herself in a Chinese prison in shabby clothes. She waited patiently in a long line to get soup from the guards. She had been in plenty of prison fights with the men. She had been tested. She was true.

"They are going to fight you," an elderly prisoner said to her as a prison gang walked towards her.

"Again? They should have learned their lesson," Kate smirked.

"Until they kill you," the elderly prisoner warned.

"Tall order," Kate replied confidently.

The gang leader knocked her plate down spilling it on the ground. "You are in hell, little girl," he said in broken English. "And I am the devil."

"The devil can lick my ass," Kate shot back.

The gang leader then began to kick her ass. A prison riot then erupted with some prisoners trying to defend her. Kate found herself thrown in the mud and started wrestling around with the men. The guards then fired into the air to break up the fight. They then pulled Kate from the fight. "Why?" she asked of them.

"Protection," they replied.

"Yeah, from me," Kate smirked.

"You're hopeless. Solitary," the guard ordered as they took her away.

Kate was then thrown into a cell. "Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock yourself in to take them on one at a time?" Ra's al Ghul asked.

"Actually, I counted seventy of them," Kate disagreed.

"I counted one with the rest trying to save your ass, Miss Kane," Ra's replied.

"How do you know my name?" Kate asked.

"The world is too small for a US colonel's daughter to go missing no matter how well she hides," Ra's said.

"Who are you?" Kate demanded.

"I go by many names, but you can call me Ducard," Ra's replied. "I am greatly feared by the criminal underground."

"I don't fear you," Kate said defiantly.

"You should. I have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have learned over a lifetime. Skills that make me a nightmare to people like you," Ra's said threateningly.

"You mean Lesbians?" Kate scoffed self-absorbed.

"I can offer you a path," Ra's offered.

"What kind of path?" Kate asked suspiciously.

"The path of hatred towards evil and wishes to serve true justice. The path of the League of Shadows," Ra's explained. "If you devote yourself to an idea and if they don't stop you then you become something else entirely."

"What? Awesome, hilarious, handsome?" Kate assumed.

"A legend," Ra's corrected.

"Alright, I'm in," Kate said intrigued.

"Tomorrow, you will be released. There is a rare blue flower that grows on the eastern slopes. Pick one of these flowers. If you can carry it to the top of the mountain, you may find what you are looking for," Ra's said to her.

"You're making me go through all these hoops because I'm a woman, right?" Kate questioned.

"See you there, Miss Kane," Ra's smiled condescendingly and left the room.

Kate was indeed released from prison and rudely kicked out of a truck in the middle of nowhere. Wandering around the mountains, she came across a village. A blond woman then approached her from behind. "You missing something," Kara said holding the blue flower.

"I don't need it," Kate said to her.

"That's what you need to get in," Kara reminded her.

"That's bullshit. I'm going to just show up and tell them what's up," Kate said arrogantly.

"That isn't going to gain their respect," Kara said.

"I don't need the respect from some straight cis-gendered males," Kate insisted.

"Holy fuck. I don't even know where to begin with that. Look, just take the damn flower and go up that hill," Kara said giving it to her.

"Fine," Kate relented taking the blue flower and going on her merry way.

"God damn," Kara shook her head.

Kate banged on the door obnoxiously until it opened for her. "About time," she muttered as she went into the dark wooden fortress. As she did, League of Shadow ninjas surrounded her.

"Come at me," she challenged them.

"Wait," Ra's stopped them. "What do you seek?" Ra's asked her as he came into view.

"I seek the means to fight social injustice," Kate said wide-eyed. "To turn hate into love, to turn shame into pride."

Ra's looked at the blue flower pinned to her clothes. He took the flower and showed the others it. "If you wish to bring pride to others, you must master your own."

"Oh, I got that covered," Kate assured him.

"Are you ready to begin?" Ra's asked.

"Fuck yeah," Kate said confidently.

Ra's proceeded to kick her ass using various martial art styles such as the tiger, jujitsu, and panther. "You fight like a brawler without discipline," Ra's remarked.

"I'm not afraid," Kate said defiantly on the floor.

"Oh, you will be," Ra's predicted as he knocked her out. "Tell me, Miss Kane. What do you fear?"

Later, Ra's had a chat with Kate on the balcony of the fortress. "Do you still feel responsible for your mother and sister's death?" he asked her.

"Why would I feel responsible? I was just a kid," Kate replied.

"Come, let me make you feel like shit," Ra's said taking her on a training montage. "I will make you feel responsible for their deaths, so you can overcome the guilt you never had. I will teach you to engage six men at once," Ra's said.

"Try six-hundred," Kate smirked.

"I will teach you to disappear. We can teach you to become truly invisible," Ra's said.

"I would rather be there out in the open for all to see," Kate objected.

"Ninjutsu employs explosive powders as weapons or distractions. Theatricality and deception are powerful agents," Ra's taught.

"I would prefer a gun," Kate rolled her eyes.

"You must become more than just a woman in the mind of your opponent," Ra's told her.

"Did you just...assume my gender?" Kate scoffed offended.

On the ice, Ra's fought Kate with swords. "Your mother and sister's death was not your fault. It was your father's," Ra's told her.

"Well, duh," Kate agreed.

"Your father failed to act in time. Your mother was executed and your sister caught in the cross-fire," Ra's reminded her.

"You're right," Kate agreed.

"You're not supposed to agree with me," Ra's said angrily as he twirled her sword out of her hands.

Kate slid on the ice to take back her sword. She got back on her feet and rushed Ra's only to fall through the ice into the water. Ra's shook his head completely dismayed.

After weeks of training, Kate came before Ra's. He had concocted an opium smoke from the blue flowers. "Now, you must journey inwards," Ra's told her. "Breathe it in."

Kate did so and immediately was high as a kite. "Open this chest," Ra's instructed her.

Kate opened the chest and found a pistol. "It is your greatest fear. The weapon that killed your mother and sister. Now, overcome your fear and take it," Ra's instructed her.

"No problem," Kate said picking it up.

"You must now commit yourself to true justice," Ra's said as a prisoner was brought before them.

"Shoot him," Ra's ordered her.

"I kick ass, but I'm no executioner," Kate refused.

"Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share," Ra's told her.

"Fine, whatever," Kate said and fired the pistol. She missed even at close range. The bullet went through the floor and ignited the gun-power stored underneath. The explosion wrecked the fortress throwing wood debris everywhere.

"Holy fuck!" Ra's shouted as the ceiling fell on him.

Other ninjas went after Kate with their swords. Supergirl suddenly came down in between them. The ninjas attempted to engage her with their swords only for their blades to shatter upon hitting her. She proceeded to beat them all down even as the fire raged around them. Once she defeated them, she fired heat vision in all directions burning the fortress down. Taking hold of the dazed Kate, Kara flew her out of the fortress as it collapsed on itself.

Three Months Later

At Gotham City Hall, security was tight. The shady private security agency known as the Crows were in full force to make sure Catherine Hamilton Kane was protected from pro-Batman protestors. The crowd chanted "Keep it on!" referring to the Bat-signal even though Batman had already decided to leave earlier. Catherine's own daughter, Mary, took a selfie with some of the protestors oblivious to the political situation.

"How cute is this little kid?" Mary said of a young boy in a Batman costume.

"You're embarrassing me," Catherine scolded sending tiger-mom chills through her.

As she came to the podium, Jacob Kane stopped her with a metal detector wand. "Is this really necessary?" she asked annoyed.

"I would frisk you here and now if I could," Jacob replied.

"Behave," Catherine smiled amused at her husband.

A charity fundraiser took place with the mega-elites of Gotham, ten grand a plate, to see the Bat-signal turned off permanently. The Crows provided security for the event making themselves seen everywhere. Bruce Wayne and Kara Danvers sat together at a table.

"So, you going to crash this party by showing up unexpectedly?" Kara asked him, wearing an elegant white dress.

"Nah, I'm going to wait a couple of years and then reboot myself when the city really cries out for it," Bruce said nonchalantly.

"You've been rebooted so many times already," Kara shook her head. "Maybe call it quits for good, give someone else a try?"

"Fuck that. There can only be one Batman," Bruce said adamantly.

"What about your son?" Kara suggested.

"Damien? That bastard? He's always going to be a Robin," Bruce said dismissively.

"You got any nieces, nephews, cousins?" Kara suggested.

"Yeah, Kate. She's a piece of work," Bruce said dryly.

"You should give her a chance," Kara said.

Bruce stared at Kara. "What are you up to?"

"Something devious," Kara smiled.

They then turned to their attention to the event's speaker, Catherine Kane, the wife of Crows director, Jacob Kane. "This night is about reality. Batman gave up on us," she said.

"I'll be damned," Bruce frowned.

"It's been three months, Gotham. The Bats not coming back. Mayor Atkins, help us say goodbye to Gotham's outdated tradition. It's time to turn off the signal," she declared.

"You stop doing your thing for three months and they want to act as if you were never here? What ungrateful bitches," Kara remarked.

"God, I hate this city," Bruce said finishing his glass.

"Together, I invite you to gaze upon the Bat-signal one last time," Mayor Atkins said to the crowd. "Start the countdown," he said to GCPD officer.

"This is some bullshit," retired Commissioner Gordon shook his head.

Meanwhile, the Crows surveillance system went down...somehow. The two officers charged with turning the Bat-signal off were killed by knives being thrown into their necks. In front of the live-feed camera, Alice appeared in white attire.

"Hello said Alice," Alice introduced herself. "Shall we believe the Crows will protect us? I think of six impossible things before breakfast. Do you feel safe behind these security feeds? Because one of you isn't coming home tonight," Alice said.

"Is this happening or did someone put something in my drink?" Bruce wondered.

"Oh, it's happening alright," Kara confirmed.

"The Crows are not the hero of this story. Batman couldn't save you and neither will they," Alice said dramatically and then turned the live-feed to a dead cop.

The crowd began to panic and began to disperse. Kara and Bruce calmly stayed at their table. "The woman looks very familiar to me," Bruce remarked.

"Why is that every woman you come into contact with either becomes psycho or resentful?" Kara asked.

"Well, which one are you, Kara?" Bruce smirked.

Kara used her falcon vision and spotted some of Alice's men wearing rabbit face masks. "What the fuck?" she wondered grinning.

Agent Sophie Moore got ambushed by Alice's men. She managed to shoot one to death and stab another. However, she was eventually thrown off the roof where she was captured by Alice's men and taken away into a van.

At the Crows nest, Jacob Kane addressed his men over the capture of one of his agents, Sophie Moore. "We Crows represent order, security, safety," he said.

"From White Walkers and Zombies trying to get over the wall," one of the analysts said smirking.

"What? Is that a reference to something?" Jacob wondered.

"You're old as fuck, man," another analyst told Jacob.

"Why Crows? How about Bats?" another said.

"We don't want to be associated with that mad-man," Jacob said obviously.

"So, we're like the DEO?" another asked.

"No, fuck the DEO," Jacob said quickly. "Look, we're a new unique organization independent of anyone else that may be out there."

"I don't know," several analysts doubted.

Kate then strolled into the room without a security pass. "Kate," Jacob said surprised to see her.

"Dad," she said softly.

"You're still a woman. Great," Jacob said giving her a heartfelt hug. "Did you have fun wherever it is that you went?"

"I went to go find myself and I did," she replied.

"I don't know what any of that means but it sounds encouraging," Jacob said with low expectations.

"Can I get you a cup of coffee? Are you still doing that vegan thing where you won't drink milk or cream?" he asked delicately.

"Yes, Dad. Milking a cow is the same as animal sex abuse," Kate told him.

"Right," Jacob said getting her strictly black. "Well, I know for certain you like it black," he said using a double entendre. "We're going to find her."

"Then let me help," Kate insisted.

"I got ex-Navy SEALS and Green Berets working for me. I got this handled," Jacob said confidently.

"I'm a part of this whether you like it or not," Kate told him off.

"Don't let your feelings cloud your judgment," Jacob told her.

"I may be a woman, but I have many talents," Kate replied.

"Okay," Jacob allowed.

"Sophie's missing. I want in," Kate said resolved.

"How about fuck no?" Jacob refused.

"This is personal," Kate said and stormed off.

"Well...shit," Jacob realized.

Flashback

At Air Force Basic Training, Kate got caught making out with Sophie. "Is there anything you would like to report to your squad?" the Drill Sgt asked.

"Yes, Drill Sgt. I'm a Lesbian...and I'm proud," Kate replied.

"Well...no shit," the Drill Sgt said not surprised. "You think you can get out of the Air Force by telling everyone you're gay, don't you? Well, the don't ask, don't tell policy works at the upper level too. I don't tell my commander and he doesn't ask. So, you're stuck with me, little lady," the Drill Sgt. raged.

"The only thing you should be proud of is this uniform. Not your race, your gender, your sexual orientation, or any of that shit," he told the group. "Our mission is to find the enemy and bomb the shit out of them. Do I make myself clear?"

"Air-Rah!" they all shouted.

"There's not to be any fraternization here between anyone. It has nothing to do with whether your straight, gay, or somewhere in between. As far as I'm concerned, you're all Lesbians because none of you have earned the right to be called men," the Drill Sgt. continued.

"I'm not a Lesbian," a straight woman recruit interjected.

"Shut the fuck up," the Drill. Sgt shot her down. He then approached Kate and looked her in the eye. "I don't give two fucks that your father is a Colonel. I will ride you out of here if you don't shape up."

"I want to file an equal opportunity complaint against you," Kate said smugly.

"Well...shit," the Drill Sgt. muttered.

End Flashback

Later that night, Kate climbed around Wayne Tower, found an unlocked window, and made her way inside. She eventually got to the top floor to Bruce Wayne's office and started snooping around. "Well...well...well," a blond woman said catching her. She looked at the broken door and then back at Kate.

"You owe my boss a new door," Kara Danvers smirked at the damage.

"Your boss is my cousin," Kate replied smugly.

"And I...don't give a shit," Kara replied. She scanned Kate's body for weapons and then a little more to examine her body.

"Who are you?" Kate asked.

"You don't recognize me with the glasses, do you?" Kara realized. She took them off and placed them on the desk.

"Got nothing," Kate shrugged.

"I was fucking there with you in China. I saved your ass. I'm both Kara Danvers and Supergirl. I'm the one who has been entrusted with Wayne Enterprises while Bruce Wayne is away," Kara said.

"Wait, you're that reporter that got a Pulitzer at Catco. Why are you here?" Kate wondered.

We all need hobbies. Mine is running multi-billion dollar companies and training little snots like yourself into something better," Kara told her.

"If you're Supergirl, you could eliminate all the crime in this city. You could find Sophie Moore for me," Kate said.

"I could but I won't. This is your ballgame, not mine," Kara said.

"You can't just sit on your ass while the city bleeds," Kate said passionately.

"Watch me," Kara said comfortably in her chair. "I'll give you a little token of goodwill. Give this to your dad and tell him Wayne Enterprises is back in business," she said giving her a flash drive.

"Is this actually going to be helpful?" Kate asked skeptically.

"Yes, but you have to figure it out," Kara smiled.

Kate brought the flash drive to her father. It was surveillance footage of Agent Moore being captured. Using visual enhancement on a paddle they had used, it showed Burnside Orphanage on it. Kate immediately went over there and snooped around the basement level. A rabbit goon snuck up on her from behind. Kate defended herself and took him out. As she reached an elevator, she was ambushed by another goon. They fought over a gun as it discharged. Kate took him down but didn't have the presence of mind to take his pistol. She then fought two more goons using a frying pan, the tables, a refrigerator door, but none-the-less getting knocked out with a paddle.

Kate woke up on the floor in a hoist. Alice stared down at her from her throne in her hideout. "Curious and curiouser," Alice said playing with her butterfly knife.

"Why so curious?" Kate mocked.

"Up-up," Alice ordered her men.

Kate was hoisted up to her knees. "I thought you had been sent away but now you're here."

"How do you know who I am?" Kate asked.

"Poor Sophie, gone, and just in time. I am not used to being found. Clever girl," Alice said annoyed.

"What do you want?" Kate asked impatiently.

"I need you to send your father a message. He thinks he's Gotham's White Knight, but he's a bully arming other bullies to force this city into obedience. And I want the world to know he doesn't scare me. I want to take away his power," Alice said.

"Take me and let Sophie go," Kate said sacrificially.

"Oh dear, this is quite sad, actually. You poor thing. You haven't figured it out, yet. I took Sophie because that would actually get his attention. Your father doesn't want you, Kate. He shipped you away. I assumed you knew," Alice said sympathetically.

"I have powerful friends," Kate said referring to Kara.

Alice scoffed at her. "You're a sweet, pathetic, girl. Sophie is the daughter your father always wanted. She served in the Air Force honorably unlike you. She went through his police academy, not you. She graduated from college, not you. Face it, Kate, you're a fuck up."

"Who the fuck are you then?" Kate asked.

"I'm Alice," she introduced herself in a mocking curtsey. "And now, it is time for the paddle," she said giving Kate a brutal spanking with her paddle.

They then heard a sonic boom and loud thud on the roof. "That's our exit cue," Alice realized quickly retreating away.

Supergirl sped over to Kate's position as Alice and her goons left. "Well, look at you," Kara said condescendingly.

"Untie me," Kate gritted her teeth.

"We need to have a talk. I gave you Alice's location easily enough. You even gave it to your father but then you went off on your own without back-up and got your ass paddled, literally," Kara said.

"Why do you care?" Kate asked bitterly.

"I don't care about you, Kate, but I do care about your cousin, Bruce Wayne. You dying is not part of the plan. The only reason I'm in this shit-hole of a city is because of you," Kara said to her.

Kara fired heat vision on the ropes dropping her to the floor. "Come by Wayne Tower tomorrow."

Kara waited for Kate to finally arrive. "I take it your meeting with your father didn't go so well."

"He won't give me the time a day even though I gave him all his leads," Kate said frustrated.

"All the leads were provided by me. You know what? I'm done with you. This isn't working out," Kara said to her. "There's an item on this shelf that leads to a hidden passageway. Find it and you can go through. Fail, and I'll beat your ass."

"Tall order," Kate smirked and then engaged Kara with a kick.

"Yeah, no," Kara said flinging Kate down to the floor.

Kate gave Kara a stunned look. "Go ahead. You're not leaving here until you figure it out. Let's see if you have the same intelligence as Mr. Wayne."

Kate reluctantly went to the shelf and started pulling on books. Kara frowned and looked at her watch as Kate tried to figure it out. "God damn," Kara said pulling the display with the pearls. "So obvious. This is Martha Wayne's pearls."

"Who?" Kate wondered.

"You're dumb as fuck. Get your ass in there," Kara ordered.

Kate went down a hallway to an elevator shaft. "Now, you're going to go to the ground level and leave my building," Kara ordered.

"I have this thing about rules. I make my own rules," Kate said and then went down to the basement level.

"Really?" Kara shook her head amazed.

Kate went down to the basement level and found herself in a cave. Turning the lights on, she wondered how a cave could exist right underneath a skyscraper in downtown Gotham. Bats flew around her disturbed by her noise. She then saw the Bat-suit in a display case.

"Bruce Wayne is Batman," Kate realized.

"No shit," Kara said right behind her.

Kate toured around the cave's display cases. She then saw a board filled with news articles about Kate's mother and sister's death. "I did that. That's my contribution to the cave," Kara said, proud of herself.

Flashback-Comic Book Version

Kate, her mother, Gabby, and her sister, Beth, were at a restaurant getting chocolate waffles in Brussels when gunmen came storming in. They were of the terrorist organization, Many Arms of Death." Their bodyguard was immediately shot dead. All three of them were held hostage and thrown into a van to a warehouse.

Several hours later, Col Jacob Kane and his men stormed the warehouse and engaged in a shootout with the terrorists. Gabby was quickly executed as the battle began, shot to the head. When the battle was over, Kate's blindfold was taken off. She then saw a girl's body with a blanket over her indicating she was dead. Kate screamed and cried as her father took her away from the scene believing the body to be that of her sister.

End Flashback

"And that is how I got my Pulitzer. Are you even paying attention?" Kara asked annoyed.

"Oh, right," Kate snapped out of it.

"Okay, so, anyway. Here are some bad-ass gadgets," Kara said pushing a button revealing them all.

"So, that's why Bruce became Batman, so he could play by his own rules, terrify his enemies," Kate realized.

"That's a generous interpretation. His friends know him to be a total nut," Kara rolled her eyes.

"People aren't afraid anymore and I may not scare anyone but that will," Kate said looking at the suit.

"Yeah, sure," Kara scoffed.

"I need you to fix his suit," Kate said boldly.

"The suit is literal perfection," Kara replied.

"It will...when it fits a woman," Kate smirked.

"Well, okay then," Kara said amused by her arrogance.

Batwoman put on the suit, placed the cowl on her head, a cape came down dramatically, and a belt snapped around her waist. She went to the display case and started grabbing gadgets attaching them to her utility belt. Ready for battle, she approached Batcycle and turned it on. Roaring the engine, she took off through a secret passageway to the streets of Gotham towards the movie night.

That night, Gotham inexplicably had a movie night out in the park despite a terrorist roaming free and costing millions of dollars in security for the site. An unfinished building oversaw the movie night. Alice, her goons, and Sophie were there watching the Crows. A Crow traitor came in to report to her.

"I love it," Alice said of the location and kissed him to prove she had a case of the "not gay."

"Have fun," the Crow said as he walked off.

Down below, Mayor Atkins came by Jacob. "Director, I had my doubts but it's looking like a good night after all."

"You see what you just did, mayor? You just fucked us," Jacob said annoyed. Jacob then got a phone call from Alice.

"I haven't missed the show, have I?" she asked.

"You tell me where you are and I'll dump you at Arkham myself," Jacob offered.

"We're all mad here, commander. I'm mad, you're mad. I want to be memorable. The kind of girl that never leaves your thoughts," she said.

"You sound like you have serious daddy issues to work out," Jacob insulted.

"I put a bomb in your truck," Alice finished.

"The fuck?" Jacob wondered and then checked the truck himself. "There are families here, children."

"Then keep your mouth shut if you want to see how this boring movie ends. Look up. There's your Sophie up in the sky. If you move an inch, she dies. Pick one, commander. Sophie or Gotham," Alice said.

"Why are you doing this?" Jacob asked.

"For funsies," Alice said and hung up.

One of Alice's goons suddenly got tied up from above. Another goon got tied up as well. "Who's there?" Alice demanded.

Batwoman landed gracefully on her floor revealing herself. "I thought you were dead," Alice said about to piss herself in overwhelming fear of Batman.

"Wait, you're not Batman," she realized.

"Believe me, you wish you were dealing with him," Batwoman replied.

"Simple math, she weighs a hundred pounds, the barrel weighs a quarter of that," Alice said as she sliced it open with her knife. As the contents drained out, Sophia was on the verge of falling to her death.

Batwoman slammed Alice into a beam stunning her forcing her to drop her remote to detonate the bomb below. Alice swung a board at Batwoman, breaking upon impact. Alice then tried to use her knife against her. Batwoman held her back with little effort and then threw her to the floor. Batwoman then approached Sophie only for Alice to place a thick rope around her neck. Batwoman slowly forced the rope off her and elbowed Alice to the gut dropping her. Alice crawled towards her detonator only for Batwoman to hit it precisely with Alice's own knife sending it off the edge. A furious Alice threw her knife at Batwoman's face only for her easily dodge it. The knife got stuck in a wooden beam.

Sophie then went off the edge. Batwoman leaped off the building, caught her, and then used her cape to slow their descent. They slammed conveniently into a construction office bed with Batwoman on her back catching Sophie. Batwoman took off Sophie's gag allowing her to speak.

"Are you even human?" she wondered.

"Hold that thought," Batwoman said getting back to her feet. She kicked the door open and went outside. Batwoman then expertly used a projector gun to get back to the floor where Alice had been. Alice was gone but her knife was still there lodged in a wooden beam. Batwoman took the knife and then flew off from the building with her cape acting as a glider.

"It's Batman!" a kid shouted spotting her.

Batwoman rode back into the cave, got off, and took off her cowl revealing shiny blond hair. Kara's eyes glowed as she burned away the eye make-up around her eyes. "How is Sophie?" Kate asked concernedly.

"She's alive and safe now," Kara said enjoying the feel of the Bat-suit on her feminine body.

"I just don't see why I couldn't have done it," Kate said resentfully.

"You're not trained in this gear and you've already gotten your ass kicked. I couldn't allow you to fail and have someone important to you die," Kara said.

"And if she had died under your care, then what?" Kate asked.

"Then you would feel anger instead of guilt. Believe me, you don't want that guilt," Kara said. "Kate, you're a total reject. Are you aware that Sophie is already married...to...a...man?" Kara asked.

"No," Kate flatly.

"Well, you already know your father's disappointment but were you aware that your...sister hates you even more," Kara smiled.

"What do you mean?" Kate asked confused.

Kara took the knife and showed her the red jewel that matched Kate's necklace. "A DNA scan of this knife will confirm it, but I already know that Alice...is your sister, Beth."

"You knew?" Kate accused.

"Not until I got a good look at this knife. Could you live with yourself knowing you killed your own sister?" Kara questioned her. "That is why you need my guidance and training."

"Okay," Kate agreed. "When do we start?"

"We only have a week to get you in shape, so we start tomorrow," Kara told her.

"We need to fix the suit more. Give it a red wig or something," Kate suggested.

"What the fuck for?" Kara wondered.

"People will mistake me for Batman, and I'm not about to have a man take credit...for a woman's work," Kate smirked.

"You know...I think we're going to have a lot of fun together," Kara grinned.

The next morning, Kara entered a coffee shop and found Bruce Wayne already there with his coffee. "What kind of fuckery is this?" Bruce asked referring to the newspaper.

"I kind of let your cousin into the Bat-Cave and encouraged her to be you...for funsies," Kara smiled.

"Your job was to keep the Bat-Cave secure. Not let a self-entitled Air Force drop-out get inside," Bruce said annoyed.

"Bruce, you're old as fuck and you have no legitimate children. You need an heir," Kara said obviously.

"This isn't it," Bruce pointed to the paper. "She's no Batman."

"I want you to look at this," Kara said showing a snap-chat photo of Kate.

"Alright," Bruce allowed.

"Now, look at this," Kara said filtering it to become the male version. It looked strikingly similar to Bruce when he was in his twenties.

"The fuck?" Bruce wondered.

"She's gender fluid," Kara revealed.

"Is that something I put in my car?" Bruce asked condescendingly.

"We have an opportunity here to get ourselves a real Batman and have lots of fun doing it," Kara said.

"You want to turn my Lesbian cousin into a man?" Bruce realized. "No matter how many pills she takes, she will never have a cock and balls."

"Don't worry about that. I have a good friend at L Corp that can manufacture any sci-fi medical bullshit. If there is a will, there is a way. The only problem is getting her to agree to it," Kara said.

"And how do you intend to do that?" Bruce asked.

"Manipulating people into doing things they think are their own idea is my specialty," Kara smiled confidently.

Bruce looked down at the male version of Kate. "If you actually pull it off, I'll retire. Otherwise, I'll get rid of her just like all my other sidekicks."

"You got yourself a deal," Kara said shaking his hand.
