Helena jumps off the hood at the same time as Reese draws his gun.

Reese: Who are you?

Helena: Dick? What are you doing here?

Dick: I heard the Joker was back in town.

Helena: Uh . . . yeah!

Dick: And that he is after you.

Helena: Wow did you figure all that out by your self.

Reese: Helena, who is this?

Helena: Oh, right. Sorry. Dick Grayson this is Detective Jesse Reese. Reese this is Dick Grayson.

Dick: Nice to meet you.

Reese: Same here. How do you know each other?

Dick: (Smiles) In a way, we're family.

Reese: In what way?

Dick: Well brother and sister in a way. Her father had adopted me after my parents were killed and not to mention the family business.

Reese: Family business?

Dick: Crime fighting. Only we wore masks. (Stares at Helena)

Helena: Oh shut up! I get enough of that from Oracle.

Alfred walks up.

Alfred: Master Dick. Your home.

Dick: Yeah, I heard what was going on.

Helena: (Smiles) I wonder how. Oracle, come in.

Oracle: I'm here.

Helena: Did you call Dick?

Oracle: Dick? Dick who?

Helena: You know who.

Oracle: Yeah, I called him.

Helena: Thought so. Anyway, what are we going to do now?

Dick: Well we can't stay here forever.

Helena: Yeah, but Joker is trying to find out WHO I am. If he finds out that I am Batman and Catwoman's daughter than he'll kill me.

Reese: I am NOT going to let that happen.

Dick: Well you've got one more person to help protect her, Detective.

Reese: Glad to hear it. What are we going to do?

Dick: For now you two (indicating Reese and Helena) stay put. I'll go out as 'Nightwing' and try to stop the Joker.

Helena: So we just wait here doing nothing.

Dick: Yeah. I'm sorry Helena but it is for your own safety.

Helena: Fine! I'll stay put, but I don't have to like it.

Dick: Good. I'll be in touch.

Dick turned around and walked back into the shadows from where he came. Alfred returned to the computer. Helena returned to her position on the hood of the Batmobile.

Reese: So, he was a crime fighter, too?

Helena: Yeah. He was one of my father protégés.

They just sat there in silence for what seemed like hours. When Helena jumped off the hood of the car and started to pass.

Reese: What's wrong?

Helena: I'm restless. I don't like hiding like this. I should be out there fighting. How many people do you think he will kill in order to get to me?

Reese: Helena it is too dangerous. You know what happened last time you went out there. They were waiting for you.

Helena: We've got a madman running around out there. What about all of those innocent people that he has or will go through to get to me?

Reese grabs her hand and pulls her into his waiting arms. They look into each other's eyes and Reese slowly leans down until their lips meet in a tender kiss. Then he slowly pulls back and looks at her.

Reese: I don't want to see anything happen to you.

Helena smiles and pulls him back for another kiss. In no time their simple kiss becomes extremely heated and passionate, until they are interrupted by Oracle contacting them through their comms.

Oracle: Helena. Reese. Come in.

Helena: We're here. What is it?

Oracle: Somebody set all of the old dockyards on fire.

Helena: It's the Joker it has to be.

Oracle: Yeah. The fire is in the general area of the last battle between Batman and Joker.

Helena: Why would he do that?

Oracle: I don't know, but there have been other fires started throughout the city.

Helena: Shit! What are we suppose to do?

Alfred: May I suggest an idea.

Helena: What is it?

Alfred: Take the Batmobile out there. It is equipped with armor and other safety measures that could come in handy.

Oracle: Good idea Alfred. Helena and Reese can go out and help and still be safe inside. Not to mention it will throw Joker for a loop.

Helena: Great! Let's go.
