There's some kind of compulsion driving Kate Kane to be out in cold, damp weather like this, doing her public service. She doesn't have to be here. No one's expecting her to be here. She could go home and bury her head under the covers and just grieve for the fact that Maggie Sawyer's decided to put the brakes on their relationship again, for whatever reasons she may have. Surely, they're all legitimate. Dating Kate Kane isn't healthy for anyone, and Kate Kane will always be the first one to tell you that. Doesn't stop her from trying. Anything to keep from being as joyless as Batman seems to be.

She doesn't even particularly want to be out here in this slushy mess. But you don't come this far, you don't get this elaborate, you don't become a Bat in Gotham City without having a fire in your belly, a burning in your brain that makes you do your job. It's a responsibility, it's a necessity. The work has to be done, and there are only a select few who can do it.

And the fact that the miserable experience of being outside right now matches the miserable feelings she's got inside. There's something to be said about that environmental synchronicity.

Now if only Joey Numbers here would do something to justify the fact that she's out here staring into his window, waiting for the drop to go down.

That makes it mostly cleanup, thank goodness. Flamebird works on disarming them first. One they're without guns, (kicked under the bed for the most part) it makes most of this much easier to handle. And hey, this way she doesn't have to handle all of that horrible cliched banter - especially about her being a girl or something like that.
