Disappearances

The following evening, the group reconvened to discuss what Barbara had found. "How're you holding up?" she asked Elektra after arriving.

"Honestly? Last night was the best sleep I've had in weeks," Elektra told Barbara. "I can't say I expected something like that in Gotham, of all places..."

"Oh, come on, honey... this place is fun," Selina smirked. "You just need to get used to it, that's all."

Elektra rolled her eyes at Selina's comment. "I can see why you and your girlfriend love it so much, I'll admit. Me, I'd prefer to get the hell out of here as soon as I can."

"Well, if you need a tour guide, I'd be more than happy to show you around," Selina offered. "I'm sure I can change your mind..."

"That's not a good idea right now... at least not for the next few days. We don't want the Hand or League jumping down your throat so it's best you lay low for now," Barbara told Elektra.

"That actually might not be the worst thing right now. I could use the rest," Elektra agreed. "But what about you? What did you find?"

Barbara filled the others in on the data she'd found from the previous evening's digging. "Well, your info was 100% accurate. I've looked into a number of contract killers -- all women -- and an unsettling number have gone missing..."

"Missing? Like... kidnapped by the League or taken out entirely?" Kitty wondered.

"Well, they haven't been trying to take me alive, I can tell you that much," Elektra confirmed. "I can't speak for other women in my line of work, but they definitely want me dead."

"I hope that's not the case with our missing assassins here, but I'm not optimistic..." Barbara mused. "I'll keep digging, though. In the meantime, just stay off the grid."

"I can do that... for now," Elektra told the other women. She wasn't going to sit around and wait for long, but this was an opportunity to rest, and if Barbara could provide a lead on Talia, the League or the Hand, well, all the better.

After they left the safehouse, Barbara turned to Selina and Felicia. "I've got an address I want you two to check out. It looks like another merc who may be on Talia's hit list" she said, texting them the address. "I need someone who can get in and out quietly, and since that's kinda your thing--"

"--Say no more, babe," Felicia agreed. "But I have to ask... do we get a reward for a job well done?"

Barbara sighed. "Uh... I guess that depends. What're you asking for?"

"We'll think of something," Selina smirked.

"I'll go with them," Kitty volunteered. "You ladies think you could use someone who walks through walls?"

"You can do that? You'd make a great thief with that power," Selina pointed out.

"Yeah, I could totally see you prowling around in a catsuit and mask," Felicia added. "Wanna join up with us? You've got the right name for it. Come on, it'd be fun, don't you think?"

Kitty blushed slightly. "I appreciate the offer, but I'm happy where I am with Babs," she answered.

"Yeah, we can see that -- you're in love. Isn't it adorable, Felicia?" Selina teased, causing Felicia to chuckle and Kitty to blush deeply. "Well then... shall we?"

"Sure, let's go," Kitty said before turning to Barbara. "I take it you're going home to keep digging into the whole Talia thing?"

Barbara nodded. "That's the plan... you be careful out there."

Kitty pulled Barbara in for a kiss and grinned. "Will do. And when I get home, I hope you're not too tired for a little fun..."

Barbara smirked back at her lover. "I'm never too tired for you, you know that... See you then."
