Barbara was worried ten minutes ago; she was beyond worried now. In an effort to try and calm her down somewhat, Alfred came from the kitchen with a pot of coffee and offered Barbara a cup as she took the cup of coffee graciously. Alfred on the other hand still could sense the tension but did not let himself be affected by Barbara's nervousness. Someone had to be the steady hand here right now.
"Ms. Barbara don't fret. Things will turn out okay." Alfred said as he held the coffeepot and silverware in his gloved hands.
"Okay? Alfred, things are not going to be okay for a while. Dinah is out there somewhere with her boyfriend and attackers; and I don't know what the hell became of Helena and her fight with the impostor." Barbara said as she threw her hands up.
"So what is your plan now?" Alfred questioned as he looked at Barbara who was going about on her wheelchair.
"Well, my trusty supercomputer is for once no help. I'm going to use the exoskeleton gadget and go out to look for them." Barbara said as she began to search for the machine that would allow her to do so.
"That is too dangerous, and you know that." Alfred said with a look of concern on his face.
"What else shall I do then? It's the only way possible, Alfred." Barbara said looking at him.
"I don't think so." A voice came up as both Barbara and Alfred shifted their positions. They were now fixated on Avery, who was at the front door staring at the two.
"Where is Dinah? You better tell me now or…" Barbara was cutoff as she sped her way toward him.
"Or you'll what, run me over with your wheelchair? Sorry, but it's not going to work like that. The only way you'll be able to help Dinah and Huntress is to come with me to New Gotham World History Museum." Avery said as his catty eyes stared at Barbara.
"New Gotham World History Museum? What are you…?" Barbara was interrupted.
"Listen and trust me, Oracle. Mistress Bast, my boss, has the girls under some heavy cat-mysticism. The only way to bring them back is by going to the museum and recover an artifact for an antidote. You're the only one who can help." Avery said. Barbara sighed and looked at Avery. Sometime later, she decided to go with him for the sake of her friends.
