That night found Ryan lying inside her van, thinking about the major change that had happened in her life. Hopefully tonight would be her last night living in this van, since she now had a job that guaranteed her a real place to live, which would at the very least would get her parole officer off her back for awhile, but more importantly, she was thinking about the person who'd offered her the job. Kate Kane.

Anyways, Ryan was pulled from her thoughts when she heard something or someone land on her roof.

"Seriously, what sort of person drops down on another person's van, especially when she's trying to sleep." Ryan complained as she got out of the van, only to pause when she saw who it was.

"Never mind." Ryan said as she looked up to see Batwoman.

"I hear you've been looking for me." Batwoman said, making sure her voice modulator was working.

"I was, but my new boss would kill me if she found out I was talking to you." Ryan said.

"I won't tell her if you don't." Batwoman said.

"Fair enough. I didn't think I'd actually get to meet you." Ryan said.

"Well, normally when I save people, they don't make a habit of taking up their own brand of justice. I know you've been trying to get my attention. The only question I have now is why?" Batwoman asked.

"Because you were the first person who's given a damn about me since my mom was killed by Alice's gang. My life had pretty much hit rock bottom. I went to jail for a crime I didn't commit and when I got out, no one would give me the time of day. I was honestly thinking about letting those guys finish me when you saved my life. You made me realize that someone does care about me. You got me off that ledge. I needed to thank you properly." Ryan said.

"Well you have. Now maybe you can focus on your normal life. Stop putting your life in danger and focus on living it." Batwoman said.

"No, I can help you. You're good, but you don't have contacts in the criminal underworld. I do. I can help you get intel that you can use to protect this city." Ryan said.

"No. I don't need you to put yourself in danger like that." Batwoman said.

"But I want to. I want to help you." Ryan said.

"I'll think about it. Until then, keep your head down and try to fly under the radar." Batwoman said as she then proceeded to disappear.

"That was awesome." Ryan said.

"So, you think she'll listen?" Luke asked Kate after she returned to the Batcave.

"I don't know. We'll consider this a test for her. If she actually listens, we'll forget about her and assume that she's moved on with her life, but if she does what I expect and goes along with her idea regardless, then we'll consider bringing her in at least as an informant." Kate said and Luke nodded.

"I think that we might as well start making a suit for her." Helena said.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Anyways, Helena, I've got the call logs from Arkham, think you can use any of these to find Frank?" Kate asked as she pulled up the call logs Sophie had given her.

"If I use our vocal modulation technology to mimic Alice's voice when I find out which number is his, yes." Helena said.

"Good, let's get to work." Kate said.

"So, tell me again why you let me give Kate's girlfriend our unedited phone records. If they find Bertinelli, we're screwed." Mouse asked Alice.

"Actually, it's exactly as I planned." Alice said.

"Wait, what?" Mouse asked.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but I had to make sure that word did not reach Bertinelli until after it was too late." Alice said.

"So, what is your plan?" Mouse asked her.

"Frank Bertinelli and his crew were just a scapegoat I could throw to Kate and her friends in order to keep them occupied so that we could really get this book without interference." Alice said.

"You are brilliant. So, are we releasing prisoners now?" Mouse asked.

"No, like I said, I don't want to draw attention to us quite yet. However, I have another option to reach out to. One who I honestly think has been waiting for my call." Alice said.

"Who?" Mouse asked.

"A woman named Safiyah." Alice said with a grin as her plan continued to play out exactly as she wanted it to.
