Meanwhile Oracle and Dinah are both staring at computer screens.
Everything is still quiet. Either the Joker is still unconscious or he is
lying low. Alfred came up behind them.
Alfred: Here is your coffee, Miss Barbara.
Barbara: Thank you, Alfred.
Alfred: Are Miss Helena and Mr. Reese still in the lab?
Barbara (smiles): Yeah, but I were you I'd knock before entering.
Alfred: Of course.
KNOCK, KNOCK
Helena: Come in.
Alfred: Your tea is ready, Miss Helena.
Helena: Thank you, Alfred. How's it going out there?
Alfred: I believe that it is quiet at the moment.
Helena: Thanks, Alfred.
Alfred: You know if you are going to be hiding out for a little while you might be more comfortable at the Manor.
Helena: Thanks, Alfred. I'll think about it.
Alfred leaves the room.
Reese: The Manor?
Helena: Yeah. 'Wayne Manor.'
Reese: You mean that old mansion just outside of town? (she nods) Why would you hide there? I thought that Bruce Wayne left town a long time ago.
Helena: Yeah, he left at the same time that Batman left.
Reese: Wait, Bruce Wayne was Batman.
Helena: Yeah.
Reese: So, your Bruce Wayne's daughter.
Helena: Yeah, but my mother never told him about me and after my mother was killed he left town before finding out.
Reese: Wow!
Helena: Yeah, I didn't know who my father was until after she died and Oracle took me in.
Reese: So what are we going to do about the Joker situation? If you go out there he'll most likely get you. So, you can't do that.
Helena: So, what? Are you going to protect me, Detective?
They look into each other's eyes as Reese leans in and gives Helena a quick kiss before saying.
Reese: Of course I am. So, the question is where are we going to hide out: here or at the Manor?
Helena: Well, I haven't been to the Manor in quite some time.
Helena and Reese walk out of the lab and see Barbara, Dinah, and Alfred.
Helena: If I have to be hiding out I think I'll do it at the Manor. If that is okay with you, Alfred.
Alfred (smiles): Of course it is.
Meanwhile back at the warehouse . . .
Joker: I want Huntress and I want her now. Now get lost and don't come back until you find her.
Scumbag #1: But we have already checked the entire city for her. Where else are we supposed to look?
Joker: How am I supposed to know? Just look harder, or I will come after you instead.
