It was a foggy night as the cruise ship was about to dock out and the horns blared. There were goons on the ship, keeping guard even Bane, who was watching the goons who were piloting. Batwoman was in her glider, flying over to the cruise ship. She then jumped off her glider and kicked a guard, knocking him out, and made sure that there were no more guards, she ran to the hallway and jumped down. She entered a room filled with explosives of every sort and hooked on a wire for herself and leapt down from the balcony. She held the weapon given to her as she looked all around and put it onto a box as the clock changed. However, the box suddenly broke open and the masked man broke out to attack her.
"Hello, senorita." Bane greeted.
Batwoman then grunted and began to kick his face. It didn't affect him so Bane just threw Batwoman aside, hitting her against the box which made her groan out of pain. Bane walked toward Batwoman and soon grabbed her as she blacked out.
Meanwhile, Penguin was with other men, playing cards with Thorne while Carlton tapped his pencil against the desk he sat in. "Will you stop that infernal tapping?" he soon asked out of annoyance. "In a few minutes, the ship will be in international waters, and we'll be very rich men," he then put his cards down with a smirk toward Thorne. "Gin!"
The phone the rang and The Penguin answered it.
"Yes, yes, he's here," Penguin replied. "We're all here. He did? No! You want us now?"
"Is it the shipment...?" Carlton asked.
"It's fine, but he's not leaving the harbor yet," Penguin replied. "He has Batwoman. Mustn't keep the lady waiting."
The three gentlemen then left the room.
Meanwhile, Sonia watched the ship through binoculars at the roof top beside the Bat Signal. Batman, Shadow Wolf, and Kala soon entered the scene.
"It's you three." Sonia observed.
"You knew Kathy Duquesne." Batman stated.
"What?" Sonia replied.
"You both took art classes together." Kala said.
"She sketched your face," Shadow Wolf added before throwing the sketch in front of the redheaded woman. "It was years ago, but it's you. Kathy had a pretty good eye."
"You knew Rocky Ballantine." Batman added.
"Who?" Sonia asked.
"Let's refresh your memory," Shadow Wolf scowled. "State University, freshmen year, same dorm, same floor, same room."
"You've all been busy." Sonia scoffed.
"You each brought something to the party," Kala added. "Kathy had money, Rocky had the genius, and you had the scheme and the will to make it happen."
Sonia looked away against the buildings, turning away from them at first. "When that fire destroyed my folks' business, they never recovered. They worked their whole lives to have it and then it was ashes, just like that!" she began to get angry. "You tore our family apart! Everyone knew it was Rupert Thorne, but there was no way to prove it. Now he's gonna see what it's like to see his life go up in smoke!"
"There was just a matter of disguising your voices and taking turns," Shadow Wolf replied. "And you know what? It almost worked."
"Where is Kathy Duquesne?" Batman demanded.
Sonia glares at the three heroes and was about to pull a gun, but her phone rang, so she got that instead. "I'm here."
'There's no report of any ship in distress,' Rocky replied on the other line. 'I radioed Kathy, but she's not responding. She's in trouble, I can feel it. What're we gonna do? ...Sonia?'
Sonia looked back to the trio behind her as she stayed on the phone.
Meanwhile, Penguin, Thorne, and Carlton was on a boat headed towards the cruise ship. As soon they stopped the boat, Carlton handed the rope to one of the goons and he tied the boat and the the gentleman headed inside. The Batboat was soon speeding up right behind them and rising from the waters. Batman kept his binoculars out while Shadow Wolf decided to drive and Kala stared out the window until they parked. The three men came down the elevator together to see that Batwoman was now their hostage.
"Olé, senior," Penguin smirked. "Exemplary work."
"I wanted you here," Bane replied. "I realized who she was I felt a certain caution was in order."
"So, who is she?" Thorne asked.
Bane took off the mask, revealing Batwoman to be Kathy. Everyone gasped in total shock, Thorne's cards fell from his hands, but the most surprised had to be Carlton.
"KATHY?!" Carlton asked.
"What's going on, Duquense?!" Penguin glared at Carlton since his daughter had been revealed.
"No wonder she always knew about our plans." Thorne sneered.
"What?!" Carlton replied. "You think I told her?!"
"She planned to use this," Bane said as he showed the device. "Don't let the size fool you, seniores, it's a carbonite bomb. It can take out this entire chamber and more."
"Are you crazy?!" Carlton asked. "How could you do this to me?!"
"It was easy, Daddy," Kathy replied before explaining. "You made it easy, because of the kind of man you are. A man whose wife is killed just because she stands next to him. The kind of man who makes a prison out of his own house. A prisoner out of his own, the kind of man who spreads misery to everything he's done. "And for what? For them?!"
"SHUT UP-" Carlton shook and was about to smack her, though he brought himself unable to. "This doesn't make sense!"
"On that we agree," Penguin said as he drew out his umbrella. "Because I distinctly remember your daughter at my lounge. The same night that Batwoman assaulted me, you're not in this alone, are you, Kathy?"
The young woman grew silent instantly.
"Who else?" Penguin demanded as his umbrella released a gaseous fume.
"Penguin, no!" Carlton cried out and his throat was then grabbed by Bane.
"No, don't!" Kathy begged.
"Tell me who else is involved while Daddy still has a neck." Penguin smirked.
Kathy looked up as all hope was lost until Batman swooped down with Kala and Shadow Wolf. Shadow Wolf kicked Bane down, letting go of Carlton who regained his breath. Kala narrowed red eyes as Thorne's gun was now melting.
"Yeow!" Thorne yelped out as he dropped his gun quickly. "Hot! Hot!"
Batman was about to hit Penguin, but Bane stepped in and punched the Dark Knight thorough the elevator, hitting against it.
"Owch... Heheh." Penguin smirked at Batman's injury.
"Bon Voyage, Senior Batman." Bane mocked.
Shadow Wolf jumped onto Bane's back and tried to pull him down. "I might not be strong as Hercules, but you are not touching The Bat on my watch!"
"Get off, Senorita!" Bane demanded.
Batman then threw mini smoke bombs against Bane. Bane then tried to punch the bombs and shake off Shadow Wolf until she then got off and kicked him into the elevator as Batman got out of the way.
"Told ya that you shouldn't have messed with me." Shadow Wolf said as she lifted a box and threw it at Bane.
Kathy soon kicked down both Penguin and Thorne before jumping in the air and flipped her hands to in front of her since she had been cuffed from behind. Penguin soon shot a gunk from his umbrella, only to miss Kathy and shoot the clock and splatted stinky slime onto it. Kathy then kicked Penguin down. Thorne had a ray gun to shoot Kathy with, but Batman swooped in, saving her life. Thorne tried to shoot against them only to miss and cause more damage into the room than toward the two. Kala took out her lava scepter and used it as a baseball bat and hit against the ray blasts to protect Kathy and Batman.
Thorne was still using the ray gun to try to shoot the trio, but couldn't. "Wait a minute, where's the other one?" He soon asked.
"Looking for me?" Shadow Wolf suddenly morphed right in front of him.
"Gah!" Thorne yelped and then tried to shoot Shadow Wolf with his ray gun.
Shadow Wolf only dodged and soon tripped him and grabbed the gun to get it out of Thorne's grasp.
"Give that back to me now!" Thorne demanded.
"Nope..." Shadow Wolf shook her head as she crushed the gun.
Thorne growled and then chased her as she then ran only to turn into a shadow and slip away which made him tackle onto the floor, only to hurt himself as Bane came into consciousness.
"Bridge, head out to sea," Bane said as he talked through a headpiece. "I want us in international waters now."
Rocky and Sonia soon arrived in their Batwoman outfits while on gliders as the ship was going through the water.
"They're heading to sea!" Rocky told Sonia. "What'dya think?"
"Batman said they'd give us a signal," Sonia replied. "But that doesn't mean we can't take a closer look."
The two women slid on their masks and then went to take a closer look.
