Further complications

The next evening, Barbara and Kitty reconvened with Selina and Felicia, this time at a hidden base in Gotham's East End Selina kept for personal use.

"Has Cassandra told you anything yet?" Selina asked Barbara.

"Afraid not. She's still resting," Barbara answered. "But I almost feel bad for whoever attacked her. When she's back on her feet, someone's going to seriously regret their life choices."

Kitty looked over at Felicia. "You checked on Elektra today, didn't you? How's she holding up?" she asked.

"Pretty sure she's gone full stir-crazy. She's been training non-stop. I'm seriously worried that if we don't let her out, I'm getting hit next time I go over there," said Felicia. "It might not be the worst idea to find something for her to do."

"Trust me, I'm looking," Barbara confirmed. "But I can't just send her out without a good reason. Last thing we need right now is a bunch of ninjas jumping down our throats if she gets found out."

"Well then, can we get someone else to check on her tomorrow, then?" Felicia asked. "Gotham's full of dumb thugs looking to make a quick buck, y'know... better Elektra let off some steam on them than me."

"I get your point, but I'm trying to keep stabbing incidents down to a minimum," Barbara sighed. "I'd assume she's less likely to stab you than some would-be mugger."

Felicia crossed her arms and pouted. "Oh, I'm not worried about being stabbed. Being punched in the face, though, is another issue entirely."

Kitty's phone buzzed. She glanced at it, then back to the group. "It's Logan. I'll be right back." She answered, stepping into another room. "Hey, Logan. What's up?"

"Hey, kid. You hear from Laura recently?" asked Logan.

Kitty thought for a moment. "Uh... not in the last week or so. Why? What's going on?"

"Last I saw her, she said she was headed to Gotham. Said she'd got a tip that a fugitive from the Facility had been spotted there. Charged outta the mansion pretty damn fast, too."

Kitty paused for a moment. That's when it hit her -- Laura had been literally born and bred to be a trained killer. She had to be in the League/Hand's crosshairs, and the League had plenty of history in Gotham. Did they know she was here? Was she walking into the some trap? Sure, Laura might not have been in danger, but if she was, Kitty knew she'd have to act quickly. "Shit. So you're sure she's here in Gotham?"

"Pretty damn sure. She seemed certain this fugitive is hidin' somewhere there. Apparently he's one of the scumbags who experimented on her when she was there -- Dr. Adam Harkins."

"Uh-oh...He's in deep shit when she tracks him down. Not that I feel any sympathy... OK, I'll look into it. Thanks for the heads up," Kitty told Logan. "We'll talk soon."

"See ya, Kitty. Let me know if ya need anything from me."

Kitty ended the call and headed back into the living room. "OK, ladies, we might have another problem..."
