Just to clear any confusion this version of Bronze Tiger is set in the Arrowverse and set before he reformed.
Talia watched in horror as Bruce sank below the water, being unconscious he would drown within the matter of minutes. Talia pondered quickly what she should do. Yes she was extremely loyal to her father and to the league, but she also deeply cared for Bruce and would never be able to forgive herself if she just let him die. Sighing she jumped into the water after him. As soon as she made contact with the water she swam down deeper and deeper until she reached him, grabbing him by the hand she pulled him to the top of the surface and swam over to a dry spot and laid him down gently, taking deep breaths as she tried to catch her breath again.
Coughing and spitting up some water Bruce opened his eyes as he felt his head laying on Talia's lap, her right hand stroking his hair.
"Nice to see you awake beloved."
"Why'd you save me?" Bruce whispered
"As much as I am loyal to my father, I just can't let you die."
"If your father gets his way you risk me and everybody else in this world dying."
"Which is why I have asked you for years to marry me take my father's place, to spare you from whatever fate this world faces."
"Your father has tried for years to play God and rebuild this world. You know my morals can never stand for that."
"Not even for me Bruce?" Talia asked
Bruce sighed "I care for you Talia, really I do, but as long as you are connected to your father you and I can never be together. Your Father is a mad man, a terrorist, a man who wants to destroy the entire world in a effort to try to save it. His morals go against everything I stand for. As long as you swear your loyalty to him, there is no future for us."
"My father's methods are extreme but he is still my father, and he isn't wrong about the evils of this world. The world is destroying itself and eventually with or without my fathers intervention it will crumble. Look at the mad men in Gotham alone, you really think that Scarecrow, Joker, Two face, or Bane aren't capable of doing what my father is trying to do? Every single one of them would do what my father are doing for their own evil purposes, my father want's to cleanse the world of it's evil and make a better, purer world."
"By killing billions!" Bruce shot back.
"Are the lives of the wicked really worth the future of this world Bruce?" Talia asked as she continued to stroke Bruce's hair. "Are Joker, Harley, Riddler and all of their lives worth the next generation living in a world that is evil, where people will kill each other in the street just for looking at them? You and my father both want the same thing Bruce, to save the world. Why can't you let go of your code and realize that what my father is doing isn't for evil, but for the future of this planet."
"Because if I go along with this, if I take a life or allow someone to take a life, I am no better then the scum I put away, and then I fear I will never go back. Look at your father, the league, yourself. You all started out innocent, then you took one life, then another, then another, until murder became normal for you, and you lost any sense of guilt. If I took one life or even allowed one to, then I will become just like your father. And I will be damned if I ever allowed that to happen." Batman got up and started to walk away. "Thanks for pulling me out of there Talia, but it doesn't change the fact that until you see the light, there isn't a future for us. There is always another way that doesn't involve killing, and nobody is going to convince me otherwise."
Bruce then walked away as Talia just sighed and shook her head. "How did you steal my heart Bruce, when you are so foolish in your philosophy?"
At Selina's apartment, Selina had changed out of her cat costume and was sitting on her couch stroking her black cat as Elsa kept guard of her. She had still yet to change out of her mech suit, and the more she just leaned against her living room window and stared at Selina, the more freaked out Selina started feeling.
"You going to take off that uncomfortable looking outfit and stay a while or what?"
"Until I can one hundred percent trust you, the costume stays on."
"Haven't I already proven myself trustworthy? I provided you solid evidence that I am innocent, what more do you want?"
"Your story is pointing to you telling the truth, but until we can make sure I cannot take any chances. I have a history with some one claiming to be honest and then turning out to be a enemy."
"Oh really? Do tell."
"You know it's none of your damn business okay."
"You got a attitude, I like it."
"Point is, until we find this Bronze Tiger and get a confession from him, I cannot one hundred percent clear you of anything."
"You sound like are a District Attorney or something ? Do you per chance have a law degree?"
"What the hell is this twenty questions?"
"Just trying to get a clue of who you might be under that visor Snow Queen."
"Well you ain't finding out, now I advice you be quite, this isn't exactly a slumber party."
Selina was quite for a couple minutes, then she opened her mouth again. "You know, how did you get mixed up with the Birds of Prey anyway?"
"Why do you care?"
"Because believe or not I do actually like you, you are the only one to give me a chance to prove my innocence, which means you are way more trustworthy then some of the other masked vigilante's around here. So tell me, how did you get mixed up with them?"
Elsa sighed "Well if you must know, I am still a little knew to this whole hero thing, they agreed to give me training. But this is only temporary, this team up with the Birds thing. Once I am fully trained I fly solo."
"You know you don't have to, those four could use somebody like you. Your powers are magnificent, they are like those of Freeze but actually used for good. Joker and the other nuts in this city wouldn't stand a chance."
"I'm not staying here okay. Once I am trained I am going back to where I am from and that's that. There will be no Snow Queen on the Birds of Prey, so dream on."
"That's a shame, you could have been a great ally"
Elsa snapped at that thought "You know I think I told you once already to shut up!" Elsa didn't want to even humor the idea of doing this team up thing permanently. All she was here for was training to defend her kingdom from people like the Scarecrow. She didn't have time for a team like the Birds of Prey, not when she was a Queen. Her people needed her, they depended on her. No, what she was doing right now, it was only temporary.
"Finish your training, defeat Scarecrow, and go home," Elsa whispered to herself softly enough so Selina couldn't hear her. "Your not here to be a hero, your not..."
Her train of thought was suddenly interrupted by the sound of Selina's apartment wall crashing in. Jumping in front of Selina, Elsa put up a ice shield around the two of them to protect themselves from flying debris
"Stay behind me," Elsa ordered "This should hold"
"If that's who I think it is, I'm afraid it won't." Selina replied shaking her head.
Elsa then felt a fist smashing against her ice shield sending the both of them flying against the wall. As Selina looked up that's when she saw him.
"Bane, I must admit I'm surprised I never took you as a team player."
"That's because no one offered him the amount of money I am offering him to kill you," Bronze Tiger then stepped in front of Bane, he walked right over to Selina and bent down to her eye level.
"Aw, glad to know I'm special," Selina smarted off. "But I thought you wanted to frame me, not kill me."
"Plans changed, I wasn't expecting you to actually prove to the Birds of Prey that you were framed. When that first plan didn't work out, I had to improvise."
"Well you ain't going to kill her either." Bronze Tiger turned around and saw Elsa get up to her feet. "Not while I can help it."
"Snow Queen wait," Selina panted "You can't take these two on your own, especially with Bane."
Elsa Didn't listen She fired a ice blast at Bronze Tiger, striking him and knocking him back a couple of feet.
"On your feet Selina," Elsa lowered her hand for Selina to grab, "We got to move."
"You ain't going anywhere!" Elsa was suddenly picked up off the ground by Bane and slammed onto the floor with force so hard the front part of her suit completely shattered. Elsa felt the entire wind knocked out of her, and she found herself struggling to breath.
"You should of listened to your friend over there," Bane picked Elsa up again only to throw her against the floor again, shattering the other half of her suit. Elsa couldn't move, in two moves this Bane guy, had beat her with so much force her whole body ached, and she feared she had a collapsed lung cause she was struggling to breath.
"And now," Bane picked Elsa up by the throat and lifted her nearly a foot off the ground. Elsa kicked and Scratched at Bane trying to get him to let go but it was no use, he was ten times more stronger than her. "I will crush you."
"Bane stop let her go it's me you want!" Catwoman pleaded causing Bane to turn around. "Kill me, that's what you was hired to do, but please spare her."Even Elsa was surprised to see Catwoman pleading for Elsa's life. Elsa just spoke a couple minutes earlier how she didn't fully trust Selina and snapped at her and now here she was begging Bane to spare Elsa's life.
"And here I didn't think the little pussycat cared for anybody but herself." Bronze Tiger taunted. "Very well, I'm in a good mood anyway, Bane release the girl, we have our target anyway."
Bane released his grip on Elsa, and she fell to the floor, grabbing her neck as she gasped for air. As Bane walked over to Selina Bronze Tiger bent over and lifted Selina's chin so she could look him in the eye.
"But I'm not going to kill you right away, I'm going to have a little fun with you first." Bane smashed Catwoman's face against the wall knocking her out before picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder. Elsa watched helplessly as both Bronze Tiger and Bane walked off with Catwoman. There was no more doubt, Catwoman was indeed innocent, and she just put her own life in jeopardy to save Elsa's and now Elsa had to do the same.
