"I know it's them! That must be what they've planning all along!" exclaimed Terry.
They were now running a commercial, announcing that, apparently, Batman was supposed to be giving an interview on tonight's show.
"They've been planning this?"
"I could tell they were up to something. But I just never thought this!"
Terry thought if Selina knew, she would keep Helena from doing it. However, that wasn't proving to be much help.
"It could be anyone. What would make you think it's precisely Helena and Ferrando?" demanded Selina.
"Helena said it was going to be a very special interview. And that she'd made up the answers!"
"But they could have been talking about something else! Anything else!"
"I don't think so."
"You just won't believe she and this actor are behind this, will you?" said Bruce.
Selina thought for a while.
"Perhaps Ferrando is." Selina agreed. "But Helena's behind nothing. Helena would never have thought to do something like this on her own. He convinced her. Ferrando's pretty clever. This has all been his idea."
"I don't think it was his idea! I'm positive it was hers!" said Terry.
"You haven't known Helena for very long."
"I've known Helena long enough."
"It wasn't her idea! Ferrando simply thought it would be a good idea, and asked Helena for help." said Selina firmly.
"And she accepted."
"He must have convinced her to help him!"
"How?"
"Like I said, you've simply just not known him for very long."
"I've known Helena long enough to know she isn't someone who's easy to convince."
"She just won't believe it!"
Helena noticed her cats' ears perk up, and turn towards the source of the sound. She did so, as well.
"You!" she said, when she'd noticed Terry. "I know for a fact that bats are nocturnal. I've only found them, either when it's dark, or when I would go deep enough in caves. I would go in, to take my cats to practice their hunting skills. To hunt something else besides small critters and birds. But I don't think you're here for them to hunt you?"
"No. I'm here to tell you to not go ahead with this interview you and a friend of yours are planning."
Helena looked surprised.
"You seem to be so convinced it's me. Are you keeping tabs on me?"
"I know you're the one behind all this."
"If that were so, which it is, actually, so you know. But you're not my father. My own father never took the time to tell me what I could or couldn't do. Why should you?"
"Ferrando said, people will spot right away that it's a fake. So there's no reason to worry." said Terry.
"It sounds as though she wants people to know it's fake. A video of her was on the same show which they've been announcing this interview."
Sure enough, there was a video of Helena, on one of her nighttime strolls Terry had seen her taking before, with Adela wrapped around her shoulders, the person commenting on the video, saying that she must certainly be following in her mother's footsteps.
"She must have been furious when she saw that." Bruce said. "If they want people to spot it's a fake, they must be looking to discredit them."
"This is the first time I get filmed or go on stage with no make up." said Ferrando.
"You're masked." replied Helena. "We just can't allow anyone to see you before you go on stage. And when you reveal your identity, you simply shake hands, and comment on how it was an honor this guy allowed you on his show or something!"
