Kate Kane. 28. Batwoman. Ex-military. Lesbian. Jewish. This is the box, and I fit right into it. Along with half of the world. The bat signal, while a call for help to some, and a warning for others is the purpose of my servitude. I'm going to serve the...

Who is someone that Kate misses? Why did they separate?

//Missing Beth is an understatement. Beth was Kate's other half, the missing piece of the puzzle that was supposed to be there until the end of time. Instead, Beth was taken from Kate in a number of ways. Once, when they were children. Beth was supposed to have been dead, only that wasn't quite the case. As Jacob put it, Beth wasn't Beth when they found her. Kate lost Beth again once she came back as Alice and fell over the wing of the plane (as Kate believes was her fault). Beth was Kate's humanity and peace wrapped all into one. The one being that could calm the thunderstorms and earthquakes that rocked Kate, even as a young child. Beth was Kate's other half, and they parted under circumstances that Kate isn't sure why she deserved.

The kids living below me came upstairs, but they’re staying in the building at least.

I haven’t seen anyone trick or treating here, are there really people trying?

[katebwkane-blog]

At least they're being smart about it. 

I saw a couple of kids go by in costumes with their parents a few feet behind them. Not sure if they think that just because we're outside of Gotham that it's safe or what..?

...There are actually people who are letting their children go trick or treating?

How heavy is your costume?

[mask] Heavy enough. If you add everything up, including my belt, it's a good 40 pounds.

That bat they shine in the sky… civilians think it’s a call for help. The bad guys think it’s a warning… but it’s more than that, it’s something higher. It’s a call to arms… I’ve found my way to serve.

[pm] I’m not saying he throws on his camo and heads to the front line but he’s a soldier and he has a weapons cache. He’s good to keep in the address book.

Be careful with that Chase woman. She has a vendetta against masks.

[katebwkane-blog]

[pm] It's still a worry on my part. 

Really? I didn't notice. Trust me, I'm not going to let her touch us with a ten foot pole.

[mask pm] …I’m not honestly not the best at deciphering metaphors, but I think so. If you’re going to assist me with this tank, it’s probably best if you come to where it’s being stored. Meet me [here] at the bunker on Arkham Island, near what used to be Trigate Bridge. Knock three times so I know it’s you.

[pm] Tanks and air support and curfews and martial law. Makes me feel like I joined the army instead of the police. Both could probably use all the help they can get right now. 

Having the Colonel on hand is a good idea. [details forwarded to Oracle] 

Stay safe with whatever crazy tank-fighting scheme you’re pulling, okay?

[katebwkane-blog]

[pm] Looking at it, you sort of did. Just saying. 

Oracle already knows who I am, so I have no reservations in letting Jake help, but if any harm comes to him, it'll be on all of our heads. Mine included. I know that he wants to do whatever he can to help, however. 

Cameron Chase contacted me about him as well, but I'm not too keen on letting her have a look at what we're capable of. Too many traceable factors. 

I always play it safe. 

[aquestionofjustice]

[pm] Oracle sent a message out. She’s back online. It’s not a question of what I’m going to do. It’s what we’re all going to do, as a unit. As much as I dislike being around other people, we can’t stop two and a half soldiers while all fighting alone and being an unorganized mess. 

O’s looking for volunteers to take their helicopters out and make air support and the harbors save again. You in?

[katebwkane-blog]

[pm] I saw that. What a fucking relief. No, we can't. You're right. As much as I'd like to take things into my own hands, I'm coming to the realization that it's too much. Teamwork is better than dying a sad, lonely death. Or something like that. 

I've been contacted by Katana for help on some kind of tank, so that may take precedent for the time being, but as soon as I've done what I can for that, I'll make sure I come that way. In the meantime, contact Jake [contact details] for information on what would be best to take out their air support. I know Bane's got an army, but I've got the tools to make one.

[pm] Seems to be what you made your job description, yeah.

I’m sure. Hey, promise you’re gonna call me if you need backup, for like, whatever. Okay?

[katebwkane-blog]

[pm] Far from it. Absolutely. 

I won't need backup, but if I do I'll be sure to let you know.

[soultaker-samurai]

[mask pm] The men on site have been offered medial assistance, I’m not entirely sure what else can be done about that. 

What neighbourhood are you stationed in? I’m currently based Arkham Island, but I have means of getting anyway in Gotham with notice. 

[katebwkane-blog]

[mask pm] Everywhere and nowhere at the same time, if that makes any sense. Give me a location and I'll meet you there as soon as I can. 

[fyeahbatwoman]

[burnedbyhawkfire]

[pm] That’s comforting. 

I won’t do anything stupid. I don’t know if “closure” is the right word…

[katebwkane-blog]

[pm] Gotta keep you levelheaded, don't you know?

Are you sure? These kinds of situations call for stupid actions. 

[soultaker-samurai]

[mask pm] I know, that’s why we should act quickly. Carry out some of Oracle’s plans while we still have some sort of advantage. I don’t think large venom supplies are immediately available, or Bane wouldn’t have been so publicly angered. He threatened me personally, I think it’s safe to assume the destruction of the plant was a significant strike against his plans.

Construction, operation, anything. Hawkfire said that you might know something about it.  

[katebwkane-blog]

[mask pm] That's good news then. But it does mean that Bane, and possibly his men, will be going through withdraws. Or maybe just his men. I doubt Bane is generous enough to share his stash with his cronies. Then again, assuming makes an ass out of you and me. 

I think I can come up with something. Is there somewhere you want to meet?

[aquestionofjustice]

[pm] Provided they don’t cut the electricity, I guess. You’re gonna let me hit up the Colonel? Wow. You really must be feeling generous. Seriously though, I’m gonna be fine. Got my own suits and gadgets dude, remember? 

I’m too stubborn to die. 

[katebwkane-blog]

[pm] No problem. Just know that if you need it, the resources are there. In the meantime, what are you planning on doing to stop him? I've had several people contact me, but I've been off the board, so I haven't been of much help. Solo work is the best work, especially when it comes to ruthless killers.

You and me both.
