Her hesitation's an answer, though not the one she expected

"I told you," Kate said quickly, mind racing.

Being naked in front of her father was one thing, having him be connecting the dots between her and Batwoman was yet another bad thing, both at once was overwhelming. She squirmed on her chair.

"And I don't believe you," Jacob said. "Why were you naked on a rooftop where Batwoman was sighted, and what happened to that coat?"

"How am I meant to know?! I hardly wanted this!" Kate said.

Jacob looked at her speculatively. She squeezed her arms tighter, wondering how she was meant to get out of this.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me..." Jacob said.

"Dad?" Kate said.

"You found where Batwoman was," Jacob said. "And you... that naked kind of thing is the sort of weird stuff that goes after the Bats. You were there."

Kate's eyes widened. Shit.

"You're dating her!" Jacob said.

Kate blinked.

"Huh?" she said.

"I still remember all the complaint letters I got from Point Rock, it's a wonder you and Sophie didn't get caught sooner," Jacob said. "FInding risky places for all that... I really don't want the details of what you did with Batwoman, but if you're that close to her, you've got to at least have an idea of who she is."

"What? No, that's ridiculous, I'm not..."

Of all the problems Kate had expected to face, this was definitely not one of them. She inhaled. Jacob sighed.

"There's no point lying, Kate," Jacob said.

"I'm telling you, I don't know," Kate said. She squirmed. "Can I _please _go somewhere more private?"

There was another pause. Jacob sighed again, then reached for the communicator on his desk.

"Kane to all units," he said. "There's a possibility Batwoman is currently naked. I know, I know, but keep an eye out in the vicinity, bring her in if you can. Kane out. Now, Kate... the less you say, the less we're going to be able to help with whatever's... kept you like that."

She blushed.

"So you'll need to stay here," Jacob said. "We don't want that passing on to the rest of the city, whatever it is, if it is contagious. Sorry Kate, but the Crows' job is to keep Gotham safe. And maybe you'll remember who Batwoman is while you're waiting."

Kate's eyes widened as she was led out. While she probably could fight her way out of there, she wasn't entirely sure what the point was. Now her dad thought she had some kind of relationship with Batwoman, and she was being kept at the Crows' Nest, and she was still naked.

The glass door shut behind her. At least it was a more private room, Jacob had given her that much, but it still felt open. The Crows liked to keep an eye on their prisoners.

At least it couldn't get much more embarrassing.

Then the door opened, and one Crow walked through to stand guard over her. Kate stood corrected, blushing again.

"Hello again Kate," Sophie said. "Your dad thought that if anyone was going to have to watch over you like... this, you'd prefer me."

"I'd prefer no one," Kate said. She sat down, trying to cover up again, but unable to forget her nudity. "I'd prefer to be out of here."
