"Talia was here?" When Barbara heard the news of Elsa's near brush with death she nearly fell off the chair she was sitting in at her desk.
"She somehow found out about us and came after her," Helena continued "She would be dead if I didn't intervene when I did.
"What does Ra's want with her?" Dinah asked
"Ra's always wanted Bruce in order for him to be the hair to the league of Shadows, it's possible with Elsa being a queen and possessing ice powers that he feels she could be a more powerful leader and assassin then even him."
"Well tell him I ain't interested," Elsa replied "I may possess these great powers but they ain't a weapon to kill."
"We really need to let Bruce about this," Dinah responded. "Talia might be in Gotham but Bruce is still in Arendelle with the rest of Elsa's family, he can put a stop to this before the league comes after Elsa again.
"I agree," Elsa nodded "But in the meantime I must let you know I went after Catwoman last night."
"By yourself?" Barbara gasped "Are you nuts?"
"Maybe?" Elsa shrugged "But I held my own pretty fine against her. She claims she's being set up, and even offered me the chance to let her prove it to her."
"And you bought it?" Helena asked
"I said I would give her a chance, but warned her if she was lying I would take her down myself. Alfred insisted I give her the benefit of the doubt due to her history."
"Elsa, you are a good Queen, and very compassionate," Tatsu responded "and that's a lovely trait to have, but we saw her at the scene of the crime, saw her with the stolen item."
"We don't know the whole story," Elsa countered "As Queen I have judged many trials, and before I could reach any verdict I made sure i knew the whole story. We don't know the whole story yet on Catwoman. She claims she's being framed, if she proves to be lying I will be the first one to go after her, but we need the whole scoop, not just what we think we know."
Barbara stroked her chin impressed "You got the making of a good detective Elsa. Okay, so how are we going to reach her?"
Suddenly the bat signal started shining in the sky attracting all five girls attention.
"I would say by Bat signal." Helena responded.
Quickly changing into there outfits the five girls arrived at the GCPD rooftop where Catwoman waited for them.
"Snow Queen, I really hope you talked some sense in your new friends to give me a chance."
"If she didn't you would be on the floor by now." Batgirl replied "So I hope the reason you are shining the signal is because you have some info to prove your innocence."
"As a matter of fact, I do." Catwoman purred pulling out a picture and a brown envelope.
"Swiped these from GCPD it's the file of a recently escaped inmate from Blackgate prison.
Barbara took the file and looked at the name of the inmate "Benjamin Turner."
"Ring a bell?"
"Yes, he also goes by the alias Bronze Tiger. But I see how that fails to prove anything, several prisoners has escaped both Blackgate and Scarecrow."
"Well, maybe this will help prove my story," Catwoman then pulled out a cut out of a news story from the Gotham newspaper and handed it to Batgirl. "Recently a pair of gauntlets with three metal claws was stolen from a martial arts class. It was intended to be a new weapon used in Ninjutsu combat but thanks to whoever took it that has yet to happen."
"I fail to see the connection."
"Look, me and Bronze Tiger don't have a good relationship, and just before he went to Blackgate I insisted Batman on taking him down. He had a target on my back considering I stole from him you see, and now that he's out he must be planning on getting back at me."
"All of this is circumstantial Selina," Black Canary replied "You need to give us something more right now otherwise we are going to have to take you in."
"Very well then," Catwoman then pulled out a picture of three prison guards laying in a pool of blood with three slash marks on their necks, "Recently a guy broke into a prison at Santa Prisca, all of the guards had their throats slit, notice the pattern on the slash marks.
"Three slashes," Batgirl noticed "Same size as the one at the jewelry store."
"You know just as well as I do not to step foot in Santa Prisca because of a certain prisoner that is held there."
"Bane!" Batgirl gasped.
"You must have really pissed him off if Bronze Tiger is sending Bane after you," Huntress responded.
"Look I know none of you really like me that much, I'm a thief. But, I wouldn't be so dead set on getting you on my side if I didn't need your help. Bronze Tiger has himself some new toys and a new friend and using both to come after me. I'm not exactly a damsel in distress but I can't take Bane on my own, let alone him and Bronze Tiger."
"If what your saying is true," Batgirl responded "Which the evidence is starting to point towards, we will stop them, in the meantime I suggest you turn yourself into GCPD and I will have the Commissioner put you into protective custody."
"You really think that will stop Bane?" Catwoman laughed "He's Bane! he could take out a army by himself."
"I'll watch over her," Elsa spoke up.
"Snow Queen, are you sure?" Katanna asked
"Look, I was the first one here that even gave Catwoman a chance, now that it's looking like she is being honest someone needs to make sure she is safe. I may be new but I'm not helpless, this Bronze Tiger, and Bane fellow, they don't know me or what I can do, that can be used to my advantage."
"She is right on that," Huntress thought "Okay fine, but you let us know if and when Bronze Tiger or Bane show up, do not confront either of them on your own, no exceptions."
"You got it."
"You better stay safe," Batgirl replied sternly towards Elsa, pointing a finger in her face.
"Relax," Catwoman chuckled "I won't let anything happen to the rookie."
"Hey I may be a rookie but I'm the boss here," Elsa scolded "Which means you follow what I say."
Catwoman turned to the other Birds of Prey in response to Elsa's attitude "I like her, I think we will get along just fine."
"You really think she will be fine with Selina?" Huntress asked as Catwoman and Elsa departed towards Selina's apartment
"She's a Queen Helena, even if I don't like it, I can't stop her, we just better hope this all ends well."
As soon as Batman heard about Elsa's little run in with Talia in Gotham he instantly returned to Ra's secret hideout in Arendelle. Hiding in the shadows he quickly took down the two guards blocking the front entrance, taking down the first one with a well aimed Batarange and using the grappling hook to grapple the second guard to him, then slamming his face into the hard ground knocking him out. Then he changed out of his Bat Costume and changed into the league of shadow's attire. With only his eyes being the only part of his face showing he would blend in with the League in order to try to get the drop on Ra's.
He didn't have the proof yet but it was no coincidence in his mind that Ra's and the League just so happen to be in Arendelle at the same time as Scarecrow. They had to be working together in someway and if he could prove it he could stop both of them at the same time before they unleashed whatever their plan was. His suspicions was confirmed when he walked into the crowd of assassins for standing right next to the pit was Scarecrow getting in a heated conversation with the head of the Demons himself.
"You promised me Elsa!" Scarecrow responded. "When you had your daughter come to me with her identity while I was still in Arkham you had her promise me you would help me get my revenge on her."
"And that will still happen my friend." Ra's ensured.
"She's has fled to Gotham! My whole plan was to make her watch as her kingdom was consumed in their own fear and that can't happen if she isn't present."
"Who says she has to be present? You gave a whole taunting speech how she couldn't protect her kingdom, now that she's gone all of Arendelle is vulnerable. Let Arendelle know that their Queen is gone, let them feel helpless and abandoned, then with no one to protect them unleash your toxin, and let them choke on their own fear. Imagine her guilt when she realizes she left her kingdom vulnerable to attack."
"Her guilt, will destroy her." Scarecrow realized with a chuckle.
"You see Scarecrow, you are already winning, The Queen has already given in to her fear and fled. Now let the rest of Arendelle give in to theirs."
Scarecrow let out a sadistic chuckle and headed towards the exit, making sure no one was watching Bruce followed. Ra's was just using him and Bruce knew it. It all made sense now to Bruce. He knew that Ra's wanted Elsa to join the League, to be his successor, but Elsa would not join on her own free will because of her good spirit. The attack with Scarecrow, was his plan to break her spirit, to lose her innocents, to join the League in a quest for vengeance on Scarecrow. He had to let Robin know, he had to warn the rest of the royal family, just as soon as he could reach the exits.
He then felt a whack across the back of the head as he fell forward and passed out. Once he awakened a few minutes later he was unmasked and kneeling in front of Ra's and Talia, two guards wrapping their arms across each of his arms to prevent him from trying to attack or escape.
"Pretty sneaky of you detective to try to disguise yourself as one of my men in order to find out my plan."
"Scarecrow, he's just a puppet, a pawn. You broke him out just to use him to lure Elsa into your League."
"Pretty smart detective, while I was hoping that she would willingly train with me and be ready to stop the upcoming attack and kill Scarecrow and take her place as my successor, I knew you would intervene."
"What do you mean you knew?" Talia asked confused not aware of Ra's full plan.
"Without even knowing it detective you have played a part in my plan," Ra's gloated "Without Elsa around she will be powerless to stop the upcoming attack. Arendelle will parish, and when word finally gets around she will realize that it was you detective who sent her away while her home and family died. Anger consuming her she will turn against you, and join the League and become the greatest Demon Head the League of Shadows has ever seen, and lead them to greater power then even I could ever manage. She will destroy the world and rebuild it in the League's image."
"No!" Bruce yelled, "I won't let you do that!"
"Oh I don't think you will be able to stop me," Ra's chuckled "You see, without your precious toys, you will have no way to save yourself this time." Ra's then struck Bruce against the head knocking him out cold much to Talia's surprise.
"Father what are you doing?"
"With Elsa our new choice as my successor I have no further use for Bruce Wayne, which means I will no longer allow him to live." Ra's turned to his two assassins who held Bruce up." There is a drop on the other end of this cave with a river in it, dump him in it."
Talia gasped at the sound of that, she was loyal to her father, that much was true, but she still deeply cared for Bruce, she couldn't let him die could she?
Dragging Bruce's unconscious body to the drop off, Ra's watched with joy as his two assassins dropped Bruce over the edge and watched as he fell into the river.
"It's been a fierce rivalry detective but I think we all knew deep down, this was the only way it was going to end."
Ain't I evil? Yes this version of Bronze Tiger is based off of the version in Arrow in case you was wondering.
