CHAPTER 7
It was a beautiful sunny day in New Gotham, but inside Arkham, it was impossible to tell what kind of day it was. Harley Quinn was in her medium sized octagon shaped plastic cell. She sat down on the stool and leaned back on the cell. The outside cell door unlocked and a female officer entered the room. Harley stood up and walked up to the plastic cell wall which stood between her and the officer.
The officer grinned as she approached the cell. Her body began to morph and now standing in front of her was Raven with an evil grin on her face. Harley smiled devilishly at Raven. "I hear that you have been giving our little Helena Kyle a fight for her life."
"She is no match for me. I'll kill her when I'm ready to kill her. I'm still having fun making her and her friends look like fools." Raven replied.
"I know you enjoy your little games, but I warn you do not play with them for too much longer, or they will come back on you."
"I doubt that highly. Anyway, our plan is going better than expected."
"Excellent. I assume that Mr. Frank Powers is still going to test the formula tonight?"
"Of course."
"Excellent. He will a great leader of the small army of shape shifting meta-humans. New Gotham will crumble."
"I must be off now, it's time to lay down another trap for the Huntress. All the information that you have provided me has been very useful in leading them into all the traps that I have set up."
"I knew it would," Harley grinned. "Now go, before your presence is noted here."
Raven morphed back into the police woman and made her way out of the prison. Inconspicuously, she made her way through many gateways and corridors until she finally reached the front door. She snuck out and ran across the yard to the front gate. She used her powers to leap onto the top of the stone gate, just next to the wired door gate. She leaped off and landed on the other side of the gate. There, where she morphed into the Huntress. She was back to her original form. "Did you get all that, Oracle?"
"Yes I did," Barbra voice came over her ear piece. "And I have tons of interesting facts about Mr. Frank powers."
"Well, are you going to share them or keep them to yourself."
"Mr. Powers is one of the wealthiest business men in New Gotham. Your father and he had have many encounters. Your father suspected him of shady dealings with many of his most dangerous foes including Two-Face, the Joker, and Bane. Unfortunately, he never could prove anything against him. He was getting close at the time when you mother was murdered, and I was shot. That was when he disappeared."
"I think it's time that Mr. Powers and I have a one on one talk. Where can I find him?"
"He's at the Waterloo Mansion over by the dock. His office is on the top floor, third window from the right on the side overlooking the bay." Barbra replied.
"I'm on my way," Helena said.
"Be careful, Helena. He is well protected with over a dozen body guards."
"Oh good, and here I thought this was going to be a boring night."

Helena was staking out from on top of the Waterloo Mansion. She had placed a bug on the window where Mr. Powers office was. She was also looking down by the front entrance to scope how who was coming and going. It was now nearing two in the afternoon. Fatigue was sweeping over Helena. She was not use to doing this kind of work in broad day light, especially now that all of New Gotham's police was looking for her.
He finally entered the office with several other people who she did not recognize. She covered her right ear to block any outside noise from distracting her as she listened in to the conversation.
"In an hour, I will be taking a small trip, and when I return in just a few hours, things are going to change around here. I am tired of having minimal profits from my investments. That is the biggest change that is to come. Soon, we am going to have more money then we can possibly imagine. We'll be able invest in more than just local criminals. Soon, we will be able to invest in terrorists organizations and terrorist countries, and that is where the real profit comes in."
"How is this all going to happen, Mr. Powers?" A female voice asked
"With a little experiment that Shadow Fox is working on. A formula who can give any normal human the power to change shapes. Imagine, being able to change into anybody you want to be. If that person happeneds to be a meta-human, you aquire all their powers. Imagine the possibilities, there is no stopping us, not even the Huntress."
"What possible threat can the Huntress be for us now? She is wanted for murder." Another person responded.
"That's exactly the point. Look at what he was able to accomplish with his own formula. He has taken one of Gotham's greatest crime fighters and has turned her into Gotham's most wanted." Mr. Powers pointed out. "Now that she's no longer a threat, that will make our business prosper all the more. It's a no lose situation. So, Burt, you are in charge of things while I am gone."
Helena heard more than enough. "Did you catch all of that?"
"Yes," Barbra said. "It appears we know who Raven intends to sell this formula to."
"Any ideas on who Shadow Fox is?" Helena asked
"Never heard of him. Anyway, I recorded the whole conversation, and we now have the evidence to put Frank Powers away for a very long time."
"He is the least of my worries right now. I am more interested in clearing my name first. As much as I love living the stealth lifestyle, I have a life to live as well. You can track my whereabouts, correct?"
"Of course, but why?"
"When I arrive to where the hideout is, contact Jesse and tell him to get the police here as fast he can."
"I'm on it!"
