(A/N: I hope that you are enjoying this. Well on with the story.)

They get to the clock tower and ride up in the elevator.

Reese: So, what in the hell is going on?

Huntress: You'll find out when we get there.

The elevator doors open and they are greeted by Oracle.

Oracle: Well, hello Detective.

Huntress: Okay, Oracle. Now what is going on? Why did you want me to bring Reese up here?

Oracle: Well, the Joker is back for one.

Reese: Would somebody mind explaining to me what is going on, and who exactly is 'The Joker'?

Oracle: Huntress, tell him your real name.

Huntress: WHAT?

Oracle: Well, we are going to tell him what is going on and if the Joker knows who you are than that could be trouble.

Huntress: Okay, okay. (she turns toward a very confused Reese) My name is Helena. Helena Kyle.

Reese: Helena? It suits you.

Oracle: I know that you have heard about Batman.

Reese: Yeah, I've heard of him. Why?

Oracle: Back in those days I was known as 'Batgirl'. I was one of his protégés.

Reese: So what happened?

Oracle: Seven years ago, was Joker's last stand. Batman and I brought him in. He escaped and recaptured a few hours later, but in that time he hired a man to kill Helena's mother and to come after me himself. The man that stabbed Helena's mother was never found.

Reese: Man. I had no idea. Why did you say that you hoped that the Joker doesn't know who Helena is?

Helena: Because if he knows who my father is than he'll come after me too.

Reese: Why? Who's your father? (after along pause and no answer) Who is he?

Helena: Batman, and my mother was a theft known as 'Catwoman' aka "the Queen of the criminal underworld." At least she was before I was born. She never told him about me because she was trying to protect me. They both had a lot of enemies. Batman left town after she was killed, and before finding out that he has a daughter.

Oracle: Anyway, if he knows about Helena then he'll come after her. Since Batman left he'd most likely take it out on Helena and me.

Reese: What are you going to do? Can I help in any way?

Oracle: That's why I asked you to come here. Merry Christmas. (hands him a comm. set) It is quicker than the Bat Ring, and more efficient.

Huntress: Wait a minute. Remember what I said earlier about the crimes happening at the same time like they were organized.

Oracle: That makes since now.

Reese: What makes since?

Oracle: The Joker is organizing all the crime in New Gotham.



A/N: What will happen next? If you have any suggestions I'd like to hear them. Please review or email your ideas.
