When Kate arrived at Wayne Tower, she was immediately stopped by security.

"Excuse me ma'am, but what makes you think you can be here?" one of the guards asked.

"My name is Kate Kane. Sound familiar. It should, considering I'm your boss now." Kate said.

"Really?" one of the guards asked.

"Check the files to see who my cousin Bruce Wayne left in charge of his properties here before he left." Kate said as the guards took her into the security office and pulled up the files.

"She's telling the truth. She is the legal owner of this place." the guard said as they released her.

"Our apologies Ms. Kane." The head of security said.

"No problem. You guys are just doing your jobs and the fact that you didn't let me go just on my word is proof that you're doing a good job." Kate assured him.

"Is there anything else we can do for you?" the first guard asked.

"Not at the moment." Kate said as she headed up towards her office.

However, she was surprised to find someone else waiting in her office when she got there.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my office?" Kate asked.

"Excuse me, your office?" Luke Fox asked.

"Yes. My name is Kate Kane, I'm Bruce Wayne's cousin and the acting owner of Wayne Enterprises in his absence." Kate said.

"Well I'm Luke Fox and I've been taking care of this building myself ever since Bruce left." Luke said.

"Well, I appreciate that, but now, can you please get out of my office?" Kate asked.

"You really expect me to believe that you're in charge of this place now?" Luke asked.

"I don't care what you believe, now get out." Kate said as she walked over to her aunt Martha's pearl necklace.

"You can't touch that." Luke said.

"Why? It's my aunt's?" Kate asked as she twisted the case and revealed the hidden elevator.

"Cool." Kate said as she stepped inside.

"No, you really don't need to go in there." Luke said as he tried to stop her.

"I already know who he is. Bruce Wayne and Batman disappearing at the same time, I put two and two together." Kate said and Luke sighed.

"Okay fine. But still, you can't go down there." Luke said.

"One thing Bruce and I have in common, we both hate people telling us what to do." Kate said as she pressed the button to take her down to the Batcave.

"Okay, I guess I'll meet you down there." Luke said, wondering how he was going to explain this to Bruce if he ever came back.

When Kate entered the Batcave, she grimaced when she saw her suit back to it's old Batman design.

"Okay, that is going to need some red." Kate said as she looked at the suit.

"What are you talking about?" Luke asked.

"Gotham has been falling apart without the Bat. It needs that symbol to give it hope. Batman maybe gone, but maybe someone else can give the city hope again." Kate said.

"What, you mean you?" Luke asked.

"Yes, but you'll have to make some changes to the suit." Kate said.

"What kind of changes?" Luke asked.

"Well for starters, you need to make it fit a woman. Then, add some red to liven up the color. Plus, I want to make sure that people know that I'm not Batman." Kate said.

"I'll see what I can do, but are you sure that's something you really want to do. Once you put that suit on, you can't take that back." Luke said.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Bruce became Batman to play by his own rules. I think it's time I do the same. Gotham needs the Bat, I'll give them the Bat. Just not the one they were expecting." Kate said.

"I just want to make sure that you're sure, since I do not want to tell Bruce that his cousin died because I didn't stop her from trying to fill his shoes." Luke said.

"A reasonable concern, but I've spent five years training in survival and combat. If anyone can pick up where he left off, it's me." Kate said.

"Okay then, I'll start modifying the suit." Luke said.
