Chapter 35

"Okay, so why did you want me to meet you here?" Sophie asked Kate when she entered the latter's office.

"Because you've finally earned the right to see this." Kate said as she twisted the case containing her aunt Martha's necklace, revealing the secret elevator to the Bat Cave.

"Wait, Kate, is this what I think it is?" Sophie asked in awe.

"Yep. You're about to see something that very few people have ever seen and if you tell anyone about it, well, I will not be held responsible for what happens to you." Kate said.

"Relax, I told you before, I'm not telling anyone about your operation as long as you don't give me a reason to." Sophie assured her.

"Good. Then come with me." Kate said as she stepped into the elevator and Sophie followed her into it as the elevator went down.

"Wow, this place is amazing." Sophie said as she and Kate walked into the Batcave.

"Welcome to the Batcave." Kate said.

"Really, that's the name you came up with for this place?" Sophie asked.

"Actually, I didn't name it that, the original owner did." Kate said.

"Wait, this place was built under Wayne Tower, so if the previous owner was Batman, then that means that Bruce Wayne is Batman." Sophie said.

"Yep and you can't tell anyone that either." Kate said.

"Don't worry I won't. But now I know that the rumors about Batman helping to take down Magpie were true." Sophie said.

"They are, but you won't get to meet him. Dad left Gotham this morning." Helena said as she and Luke entered from a side chamber.

"Wait, what is Helena Wayne doing down here?" Sophie asked.

"You really think I didn't know about my dad's night job?" Helena asked.

"She's actually a member of the team." Kate said.

"You're the Huntress." Sophie said.

"Yeah, kind of surprised you didn't put that together since Huntress and I both left Gotham at the same time and then we both literally came back to Gotham on the same night." Helena said.

"Fair point. But to be fair, I'd only just begun to suspect Kate of being Batwoman back then, so I couldn't exactly think about the Huntress at the time." Sophie said.

"That's fair." Helena said as Sophie turned to Luke.

"What about you? How'd you get wrapped up in this world?" Sophie asked.

"My dad made the original bat suit. He was one of the only people Bruce trusted with his secret and after he died, Bruce brought me in." Luke said.

"Speaking of which, there's something we need to talk to you about." Kate said.

"And that would be?" Sophie asked.

"Ever since we discovered that the cabal that convicted the guy who killed Lucius Fox, we did a little digging and realized that all the pieces fell into place a bit too conveniently." Kate said.

"Wait, you think that Reggie Harris was framed for the murder of Lucius Fox?" Sophie asked.

"We do, but that's something that's better prepared for the Crows to look into instead of us vigilantes." Kate said.

"I agree with that. Especially since it's more likely for people to believe it if it comes from real law enforcement, no offense." Sophie said.

"None taken, we're of the same mind there." Kate said.

"I'll start looking into this personally, since I'm not sure who I can trust to help." Sophie said.

"Actually, I can think of one person who might be able to help you out." Luke said.

"Who?" Sophie asked as Kate sighed.

"The only other person who knows about this operation. Alfred's daughter Julia Pennyworth." Kate said.

"Also known as Kate's ex-girlfriend." Luke said.

"Really." Sophie said, looking at Kate.

"More like a babysitter Bruce sent to check on me while I was traveling." Kate said.

"Kate, my dad was Julia's godfather, I think she has a right to know. Not to mention she's a highly trained spy with contacts that could help us." Luke said and Kate sighed and nodded.

"Okay then, I'll call her." Kate said.
