Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman Page #5

Who, Penguin?

Who's the big, bad boogeyman?

I can't hear you.

- Bane.

- Bane?!

No, run this way.

A bat-seeking missile for you, my dear.

You hear that?

Call for backup!

Time to burn a bat.

Come on, let's see those

pointy little ears.

- Stay together, come on.

- Hurry!

It must've been a heck of a floorshow.

I have to admit, not every date

I have ends with a police investigation.

You poor thing. Every time we're

together I seem to risk your life.

I'm sorry about tonight.

You were right about me.

No, no, don't say that.

I jumped to conclusions.

I was wrong about you. And tonight...

Tonight turned out wonderfully.

The old man wants you.

I'd invite you in, but I think

it's going to be chilly upstairs.

Souvenir?

I found it in the Penguin's club.

How about an autograph?

Make it a real collector's item.

- What did you learn at the lounge?

- Other than the fact...

...that Kathy Duquesne

can't be Batwoman, not much.

I found this in his office. I think

Batwoman used it on him. I kept a piece.

You know removing evidence

from the scene of a crime is...

...probably not gonna lose you

any sleep.

Call it a souvenir.

You saved my life once.

Nine years ago. Arsonists,

they burned my parents' shop.

I was sleeping.

We lived on the second floor.

My room was filled with smoke.

I couldn't find the window.

The floor was hot, flames shooting

between the floorboards.

And then, there you were.

I remember. The arsonists

were working for Rupert Thorne.

Part of his protection racket.

The DA couldn't make the case stick.

Yeah, that's why I decided

to become a cop.

I just thought you should know.

That's tight. What's it mean?

The wire from Penguin's office is identical

to the alloy Dr. Ballantine developed.

Rocky? You think someone's

using her stuff?

Arms up.

Proceed.

- Kevin, are you okay?

- No, Rocky, I'm not okay.

I'm so far from okay,

I can't even see it.

Don't give up. We're close.

Really close.

Once someone in Penguin's

organization is willing to talk...

You can't keep doing this.

It's too dangerous.

- If Penguin finds out you're spying...

- He won't. I can take care of myself.

I'm not the wimp I used to be.

I've changed. I've had to.

You'd have to be Supergirl

to stand a chance.

You don't know what I've been doing.

Look, Rocky, I don't want

to see you anymore.

- You aren't...

- Serious? I'm dead serious.

I've got five more years here

before I get a shot at parole.

It's stupid to waste your life

waiting for me.

It's my life. I can waste it

any way I want.

Don't come here again, Rocky.

- If you do, I won't see you.

- Kevin?

Kevin, no! Listen to me.

Kevin!

You have no new messages.
