After Crane got rid of Nigma he went back to the living room. He found her there passed out face down on the couch with a pillow covering her head. She had changed at some point during the night and she was wearing a pair of cotton shorts and Crane had to stop himself from staring at her legs. She rolled over and the pillow fell to the floor, hair a mess, as she stared at him.
"Is there a reason you are here this early?" she asked her voice sounding scratchy.
"It's actually the afternoon," he informed her as she tried to comb her hair down with her fingers. "We should talk about last night."
"Nigma loves to send you doesn't he," she said as she looked at the wall the snatched the iPad off the table and started to type.
"Nigma isn't the only reason I'm here," he replied as she held up the iPad for him to read.
On there she had typed 'They are in the passageway listening to us'. He was pissed now knowing he couldn't talk to her because Nigma was ease dropping and the kid most likely showed him how to.
"As for Philly I have decided to stick around until after this little scheme then I do have to return," she said as she typed another note on the iPad. 'We can talk later about the other night when no one is listening'.
"So after Nigma is done with you, you are going to just up and leave?" he asked before nodding his head yes to her note.
"Not just up and leave as of right now I do plan to return," she told him as she stood up and pressed a button on the side of the bookcase against the wall. The bookcase slide over and Nigma and the kid came tumbling out of the secret passageway. "Having fun ease dropping?"
"It was his idea," the kid said before he ran out of the room.
"Don't say anything just get out of the wall," she said as Nigma opened his mouth to defend himself.
"How was I to know this passage would lead here," he said anyway as he got up and walked away from the wall so she could close it.
"You are the grown up and should of known better," she shot back and pointed to the couch. "Now sit and behave."
"Is she really ordering me around?" Nigma gasped, as Crane shot him a dirty look. "Well if you two weren't so secretive I wouldn't be so curious."
"It's none of your damn business!" she huffed before storming out.
"Seriously stay put this time," Crane ordered as he followed after her.
"Whatever you say," Nigma replied as he picked up her discarded iPad.
"Put it down," Crane ordered as he poked his head back in and wait until Nigma had placed the iPad back on the table before he continued his pursuit of Sid.
He saw a door opened and walked into the closet room where she was brushing her hair sitting at the vanity in the corner of the room. She had quickly put on a pair of jeans and still looked like she was pissed off. Closing the door, he walked over to her, uncertain of what exactly he was going to do.
"Did you have to bring him over here?" she sighed as she put the brush down and turned on the chair to face him. "He's worst then a child."
"Actually he was coming over her by himself to convince you to do what he wants," he told her. "I figured I should intervene before you try to kill him."
"That's a good idea," she laughed as she put on the black leather boots next to the make-up table.
"Going somewhere?" he asked as she placed a dagger in each boot and strapped them in place.
"No, just being prepared," she responded as she stood up. "By the way next time you kiss a drunk girl and run you should probably make sure she isn't left somewhere when she wakes up she's not pissed off. I spent most of the night passed out on the living room floor."
"Sorry," he said, cringing inside.
"At least you got me home, my teen years some nights I didn't know where the hell I was when I woke up," she told him as she loaded a clip into a hand gun. "But seriously what was that last night, I mean weren't you the one who told me we aren't even friends then you kiss me. It's very confusing."
"You said you needed a reason to stay and I guess I was trying to give you a reason," he told her as she strapped the gun to her back. "I'm sorry if I offended you."
"I wasn't offended just very confused," she replied as she went to the door and yanked it opened and looked out into the hallway before closing the door again.
"There are no secret passages they can ease drop in here?" he asked forgetting for a moment the kid could be listing in on their conversation.
"No, in here, bedrooms and bathrooms don't have the hidden passages in them for person reasons obviously," she said as she walked back over to him. "So if you have something to say, say it now before they decided to interrupt."
"I don't want you to leave Gotham," he finally said and she laughed, as she back over to the door.
"If that's all," she said as she opened the door. "I guess I'll stay then."
"Nothing is this simple with you," Crane stated as he followed her back into the living room.
"Maybe you just over complicated everything," she shot back as she walked back into the living room to find Nigma on her iPad. "Seriously you hacked my iPad."
"With little difficulty," Nigma said as he turned to face the picture on the iPad at her. "So why do you have a picture of Rebecca Conrad on your iPad under your file of identities?"
"Do I have to dignify that with an answer," she sighed, know Nigma now knew most of her fake identities she used for assassinations.
"No, but I must admit you play the party of many socialite women. Although most of the faces have very different features, theatrical makeup I assume," he stated as he continued to look through the pictures.
"Yes I was trained how to apply silicon prosthetics," she told him as she sat down on the couch. "Now enough about me how about we discuss this plan of yours so I know what I have to do."
"Well I'm glad you decided to join our little team," he declared as he handed her back the iPad. "I found out Wayne's ward is staying in a hotel but still sees Barbra Gordon at her dorm room. I want you and Crane to kidnap both of them so neither can try to keep this function going. The clown will have nothing of Wayne's and I will hold all of the cards. Penguin has agreed to attack the zoo, Ivy will destroy the flower shop, and I will take over Wayne Tower and get Wayne and Fox, and you two will get the ward and the girl. You can get Ratcatcher to close the caterers?"
"Of course," she said with confidence, and Nigma smiled.
"Then it's time to screw the clown!" he exclaimed.
