Kate was out and about for the first time since the Halloween attacks in her civvies. She tried to remain under the radar, leaving behind her jewels and flashy clothing. Choosing to sport a Gotham’s Guardsmen basketball shorts and a long-sleeve v-neck. Nothing fancy, nothing that would truly call attention to herself. But truth be told? She’d muxh rather be Batwoman than Kate Kane…

Her train of thought was abruptly cut off when she saw a stranger being attacked. Kate didn’t even give herself time to think. In the blink of an eye, she was between the attacked and the attacker, blocking a second blow. “Back off!” Kate snarled, grabbing the hand the man used to throw a punch and twisting it behind his back, she looked back to the woman speaking to her. “Fuck that shit!” Kate said from behind gritted teeth. “NOBODY deserves to be used to this type of abuse!” Due to the pain she inflicted, the man fell to his knees, screaming at her to let go of his wrist.

Clarice frowned as she heard the other woman’s words, and for a moment worried about the man’s safety. Even if he had harmed her, Xavier had trained her better than to let such an small thing be traded for a life. “Just let him go. His ignorance, while unfounded and stupid, should not be punishable by broken bones or death.” Clarice said as she looked at the rather unnatural way the woman was bending the wrist.

This woman was actually defending the inbred fuck. And her words, caused Kate to drop the asshole. He craddled his arm before getting up and walking off. Of course, he did have a poke at Kate before scurrying off. "Fucking dyke."

"Damn fucking right! And Jewish too, motherfucker. Now, get your fuck ass out my sight before I give this plastic eight incher to your moms!" He went to replied, but as Kate took a step towards him, words were forgotten and he disappeared from their vicinity. Turning her attention back to the stranger, she chuckled. "I would've never killed him," she assured with a grin. "You're in Gotham City now. The Batfam don't get down that way, and they're an example to follow. "As for all that of broken bones... Well, its the equivalent of my mom whooping my booty for doing something wrong. And trust me, I learnt." She offered a smile. "I'm Kate Kane," she introduced herself, offering a hand.

What started out as a routine patrol turned into an opportunity for Helena to wallow in the happenings of the last couple of days, unable to erase the image of Cassamento’s face from her memory. When she was studying to get her teaching degree, she took a few psychology classes that mentioned how some people tend to repress horrible and traumatic memories from their past, either hiding most of the disturbing details or blocking out the event completely. This wasn’t her situation, however, the day she lost her family had stuck with her - continuing to play in the back of her mind like a sick reminder. 

It’s hard for her to return Kate’s warm words, the vigilante keeping her gaze low as she lifts her arms to cross over her chest. “I could’ve, but I wasn’t,” she responds flatly. “That’s what I came over here for. Wasn’t sure if anyone else was in the area. I could go, though. If you’ve got it handled.” 

Kate frowned under her cowl. Well, she somebody seemed to have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed. "Yea, thanks for the demonstration that there is a God," Batwoman replied coldly, crossing her arms over her chest. "You're more than welcomed to tag along, haven't worked with the Birds in a quite a while, but not with that attitude," she said, looking Huntress' from head to toe.

"There's strength in numbers but I'm not riding with somebody that's got a death wish," she stated firmly. Was there a reason for Huntress acting the way she was? Perhaps she was also dealing with the Halloween catastrophe's aftermath as well?

“You didn’t have to help me…I’m quite used to it by now.” Clarice said as she looked at the other. Unfortunately, with her natural facial markings and pointed eyes and bright green eyes it was impossible for her to hide her mutant status…And not everyone was a fan of it. “I could have handled it myself.” Clarice had a bruise on her jaw from where the initial man had struck her before she could distance herself away, but nothing else. Which for her? Was her getting off pretty light.

gildedamazon‌ :

It was blatant for Diana to see how shaken up the events of the Halloween celebration had everyone. Though she wasn’t affected by Scarecrow’s fear toxin, she can only imagine the heinous things other’s saw once it made its way into their bloodstreams. Her fiancé and several other people Diana considered family were affected pretty badly - and this was something the Amazon couldn’t stand for. So, alongside Bruce, Diana did a bit of her own digging into what or who could’ve been behind the lockdown of the courthouse and haunted house attraction. 

Though any and all leads brought her to a dead end, the Amazon realizing that whatever they were up against was no stranger to Gotham and the heroes who vowed to protect it. The sounds of a fight or something of a similar nature bring Diana face to cowl with Batwoman, and it’s this reappearance of the other that brings a smile to her features. Kate’s disappearance didn’t go unnoticed, but Diana knew a lot better than to approach anyone in Bruce’s bloodline to talk about their feelings. At the other’s question, Diana rubs gently at the bare spot on her left ring finger where her engagement ring usually resided. “Neither… I was thinking more along the lines of family.” Her smile only grows warmer as she makes an attempt to lessen the space between she and Kate, arms lifting to cross over her chest gently. “I figured you could use some back-up. You know you’re never alone, Kate.” Of course Diana’s words hold a dual meaning, the Amazon hoping Kate won’t simply take them for face value. 

As the figure came into view and her familiar voice reached her, Batwoman relaxed. "Diana," Kate greeted her, offering a smile. Usually, Kate had no problem going up for a hug, it was weird to think of a Wayne gathering without Diana in it now. She was right, after all, Diana was family.

And yet, the way Kate felt? Her own skin didn't feel right. "I wouldn't mind some godly backup," she teased. "Haven't figured out what's happening yet," she informed the Amazon. "Just found these heavy shooters patrolling... Or guarding?" Kate turner to face West. "Blackgate is nearby.... Maybe somebody is planning to take something IN, or bring someone OUT."

Helena swore that if she ever saw Santo Cassamento again, there would be few things even those she held in close regards could do to stop her from finishing what he started. He was the sole reason that Helena pushed herself to train the way she had, to hole herself up and close herself off the way she’s been all these years. He’s the reason she’s alone in this world, whether she likes it or not, and she swore on her life that the Bertinelli name would be avenged for all he’s put her through. And then the night of the Halloween celebration, with fear toxin seeping into her system, she came face to face with the man who took her family away from her. And she did nothing. 

Well - not nothing. She froze. She tried to keep Dick behind her. Years upon years of planning how to end her suffering all came to a head that night, and Helena did nothing. It’s like she’d quite literally seen a ghost from her past, and even after coming to the realization that it was the toxin making her see Cassamento, it has stayed with her ever since. 

The somewhat familiar tone breaks the vigilantes concentration, gaze never leaving the sleeping city that resided just over the building’s ledge that Helena was walking along. “I’ll be out of your hair soon.” She announces, not bothering to meet Kate’s eyes. 

Upon further investigation, Batwoman caught sight of the figure before her. The familiar gear and mask caused the vigilante to relax somewhat. "Dammit, Huntress?" She called out after the woman spoke without even glancing her way. Kate definately recognized her. She walked closer to the other female. "You alright there? There were some armed vandals a building over," she informed her sternly. "You could've been shot."

Kate took a moment to examine her fellow vigilante, raising a brow as a smirk pulled at the corners of her lips. She was cute, plus she'd heard nothing but good things from others. She wondered if Huntress had heard of her, but could only assume so? Thinking about it, hadn't they met at some meeting once? Birds of Prey? Justice League? A family thing perhaps? "Burnout," she sighed to herself before fixing her gaze on Huntress once more. "If there were gunmen on the roof, something is up around here," Batwoman added, trying to get Huntress' attention.

Chained Dragons||Open

Kate always tried to drown out her feelings rather than face them. That Halloween night, however, those bottles filled to the rim were uncorked. Her mother and sister appeared before her, haunting her. Thankfully, Alfred had found her and taken her to the Wayne Manor were her cousin cured her affliction.... What felt like years had barely been a few hours.

For days, Kate hid at home. She went hard at the gym, even giving up her media facade and night clubbing lifestyle. When she finally decided to submerge, she didn't do so as Kate Kane, but as Batwoman. She put away the diamond grills and picked up her kit where Kate disappeared and Batwoman came to life.

Patrolling the city, she saw some fishy movement near Blackgate Penitentiary. Moving in to scout it out, she took out a few armed thugs before setting her gaze on her next target. "Didn't expect to find you here, but do we find one another as friends or foes?" She asked, taking her stance.

“I have to ask … what are your feelings about candy corn? Sometimes I think it’s good, but then if I’m not in the right mood for it that can change.” Peter laughs as he puts his drink down, not that it as doing that much for him anyway. He didn’t feel like getting drunk in all honesty, just wants to have some fun conversation.

[soldierbat]

Pulling off her mask, Kate took a deep breath of fresh air. She loved her costume, but it was hot and made it hard to breathe. "Candy corn?" She replied to the young man speaking to her. "Not really into candy corn, but if you got Twix or Reese's, I'll take them!" She answered with a laugh before ordering a vodka with Red Bull from the bartender.

The X-Files Booth||Open

The Kane family had gone ahead and donated some money for the Halloween event. As a socialite, and one of Gotham's elite, Kate decided to hype up the event by making a booth of her own. She'd be DJing while in her silly alien costume, in an alien themed tent where themed drinks were offered by buying 'drinking passes' at the entrance.

Kate had just done an hour feat when she let one of her homeboys take over for a while. The big mask was beginning to take a toll on the woman, making it hard to see in a dimly lit, overcrowded space. As she attempted to take off her mask, her elbow hit something, causing a drink to be spilt. "Daaamn, my bad..." She said with an awkward chuckle, holding her mask under her arm. "Here, let me get you another one, no need to waste another of your passes thingies."

Sofia smiled greatfully as she was offered a flute of champagne - socialising wasn’t high on her list of priorities, but it was a necessity in keeping up the facade - to have contacts that believed in her, and her cause, and those that would vouch for her should her name ever come under disrepute. And of course, having those to call in a few favours with couldn’t hurt either.

Making her way through the crowds, she spotted one face, and started to approach, waiting patiently until the woman was free.

“I’m sorry, Miss Kane, is it?” She asked, smiling softly. “Sofia Falcone, I’m afraid I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting you yet.”

[soldierbat]

Keep a mask. But what was the mask now? That pale face with blood red lips and fiery hair to match? Or the caramel skin sprinkled with freckels? Looking in the mirror, she didn't know what to think. Fresh out of Westpoint, her first true broken heart, she dove face first into the night life. The DJing, partying, the alchohol and drugs. But now? She was tired. It had only been five years, but Kate was exhausted. How did Bruce do it for so long...?

She slipped on her diamond grills and diamond chains to match, her rings, and her Supreme snapback. After all, regardless of what she wished, she had to do what she must. So Kate soldiered on.

At the event, she was to go on stage about midnight. During the dinner, however, a live orchestra played soft tunes. As dinner finished, however, guests began to mingle before the after party. Two older men had cornered Kate about her family business, they seemed fans of it but a conversation Kate wasn't willing to have. "Yea... No idea. My dad is the one that deals with that. I hope you guys enjoy the show," she said quickly, moving away.

Looking up from the ground as her name was called out, Kate looked up and stopped dead in her tracks. Before her was one of the most beautifil women she had ever laid eyes on, and yet one she had seen so many times before. Of course, up close and personal, Sofia Falcone didn't seem like the woman in Kate's files at all. "Kate is fine," she replied, a smile creeping onto her lips as she offered a hand. "And its my pleasure to meet you," she retorted, the smile never leaving her lips. "Falcone is a very well-known name in this town," she commented, her tone suggesting admiration.

Girl Power||Batwoman&Spoiler

@sp0ilers

Letting the fiery red hair fall over her shoulders, Kate took one last glance in the mirror to make sure none of her real hair was visible, her own skin color covered in oale make-up and her lips a deep red. Usually, Kate despised make-up and you would never catch her with even a chapstick. However, Batwoman had to look nothing like Kate Kane, so she had made her peace with the stuff.

The caped vigilante had gotten a whiff of Black Mask's newest partnership with a foreign heroin dealer. A meeting was meant to be going on somewhere near Blackgate between their lieutenants, and Kate planned on being there.

As she approached her destination, however, things changed. Batwoman gritted her teeth as she spot the group of thugs surrounding a masked individual. Unable to get a good look at the stranger, who was now doing rather well defending herself from the armed brutes, Batwoman felt a bit of frustration. She was sick and tired of the invading vigilantes and heroes more than the cruel villains that a certain anonymous asswipe was congregating in her city.

Although once she was closer, her annoyance morphed into wrath. Her gaze focused on none other than Spoiler, and nobody fucked with the Batfam. She was running then, pulling a clawed-gun from her tool belt. One of the thugs that had aimed a handgun at Spoiler became a target, and as Batwoman kicked at the second armed ruffian,she shot the first with her apparatus. Pulling the armed thug towards her, the gun stumbled onto the ground as the man she kicked was knocked out cold. The man she dragged to him began to resist, causing Batwoman to push a button on the handle of her clawed-gun that sent a paralyzing amount of electricity and caused the struggling thug to fall unconscious.

Once they had managed to defeat the schemers, Batwoman turned to Spoiler. "What up, fam?" She asked with a smirk. "You can use that radio Papa Bear gave you, you know that right?" She teased.

In the Limelight||Dick&Kate

@bcywcndr

The music was so loud the walls and floor vibrated with the rhythm of the bass, neon lights dancing around throughout the whole room. The whole building was full of all of Gotham's elite citizens, a line of people crowded the streets, spreading across two blocks as they waited for a chance to walk into the event. Kate, herself, stood at the DJ's stand with one of Gotham's most promising rookie DJ. She had been working on the event for months now, carefully putting together a campaign to bring attention to the newbie. She had even let him open for her in a few of her own events which worked wonders.

She watched the young man moving with the rhythm as he played, causing her to smile. Pulling one of her diamond chains over her head, she put it over his which caused him to stop moving and gawk at her in disbelief. "You got this," she shouted over the music into his ear. "This your moment!" He hugged her so hard, her snapback fell off her head, causing the vigilante to laugh.

As the young man resumed, Kate picked up her snapback and began to walk away. A smile spread across her lips as she made her way through the crowd. Some people stopped and spoke words she couldnt hear over the music, making Kate nod and smile without truly knowing what she was nodding and smiling for.

A husky man covered in a Gucci attire stopped her by the bar, screaming in her ear about a mixtape when her gaze focused on the building's entrance. Something was going on, various bouncers rushing through the door. For a moment, Kate thought she saw somebody mouthing 'cops'. It was then that she handed a business card at the husky male and dashed towards the entrance. Outside, were about four patrol cars of Gotham's finest, about nine people sitting on the sidewalk in cmhandcuffs and a group of angry bystanders pointing their cameras at the policemen. The tension kept rising by the minute, and Kate could tell that they had begun to crowd around one particular officer... One she not only recognized, but was a part of her own life.

"Yo... YO!" Kate hollered in wrath as she realized her bouncers were also going after the police officer. "Get away fron him!" She demanded, quickly putting herself between Dick and the angry crowd. "He took one of our men--" one of her personal bouncers tried to argue, but Kate was not interested. Nobody was about to put a hand on Dick with her there. "This is my fucking nephew, I don't want to hear it," she snarled. "Now, take yourself and them off his back," Kate stated firmly.

After one quick moment, he did just as she demanded, convincing the rest of his team to help dismiss the angry crowd. Turning to Dick, Kate arched an eyebrow. She wasn't about to question him, she didn't need to know. Kate trusted Dick and his judgement, and was sure Dick was simply doing his job rather than abusing his power like most officers did in the GCPD. "Are you alright?" She asked Dick, a mocking smirk tugging at the corners of her lips. "Mr. Officer?" She giggled then.

"Make no mistake: you do this, you're going to war. Define the goal. Define the objective. Define the terms of victory. Because if victory means bringing your mother and sister back, you've already lost. If victory means taking revenge for what happened to them, you've already lost. But if the objective is to save just one life, to protect one innocent, to keep one person from having their life shattered in violence... and to come home alive when you're done... then you can prevail."
