Gothcorp's secret

Selina was brought in the batcave passed right out and moved to a heating room to warm up


Bruce stood out the glass door worried if Selina would make it still in his batsuit in his mask 


Alfred feeling for Bruce came beside him


Alfred: Are you alright sir?


Bruce: I should have gotten to her sooner. If I hadn't in time....


Alfred: You mustn't blame yourself. Ms. Kyle's heart rate is slow but still managing. 


Bruce: Freeze will pay for this. Taking Ferris Boyle was one thing but trying to kill Selina...he's made it personal. 


Alfred: What was Freeze doing there? As if taking Boyle wasn't enough. 


Bruce: He took the diamond Selina tried to steal there. It was one of Boyle's collections.  He must have a connection with Freeze.  Contact Lucius Alfred I need to know what Gothcorp had in stored with the weapons Freeze is using. 


Alfred: Yes sir.


Alfred walks away while Bruce continues gazing at Selina in her coma and Ms Kitty was right by his foot 



Back at Gotham University at the food Dick and Barbra over coffee yet Barbra noticed his cast and Dick told her he broke it during the attack at Gothcorp 


Dick: Let's just say all the training I did with Bruce I thought I thought I could fight my way out. Guess I overthought it.

Barbra: You're lucky to be alive. You and my father both. The one thing you have in common with him is you both think you're invincible. 


Dick: And Bruce. Trust me he's way in over his head too. How did you get out?


Barbra: My father got us out. He told me to go home while he called in for backup.  But...on my way out I saw Batman and Robin. 


That word was starting to get on Dick's nerves "Batman and Robin" 


Dick: You.....saw them huh?


Barbra: Yeah. My told me everything about them. I mean I know Robin didn't show up till the Riddler and Two-Face terrorized Gotham.  I saw the 200 Gotham anniversary on TV when the Joker gave out money just to gas the city. 


Dick: I use to look up to the Batman. 


Barbra: Use to? As in not anymore?


Dick: I mean Gotham is just as afraid of him as the criminals he brings in are. 


Barbra: Now you sound like my mother.


Dick: Sorry.  


Barbra: So you're not on speaking terms with Bruce?


Dick: We had a fight after my arm was wrapped up. He's not trusting me to make my own decisions. I can't stand being under his shadows. Everybody always fallows him and he's not trustive. He never has been. 


Barbra: Don't you feel he's only looking out for you. 


Dick: Yeah but he's self absorbed.  And I can't live that way.


Barbra: Again said my mother when she left dad.


Dick: I'm sorry I just...I feel no matter where I go he's pulling my strings.


Barbra: Maybe he's protective cause....you know he lost his parents too at a young age.


Dick: Yeah I guess....


Barbra: Maybe you guys can resolve your problems if you treat him the way you want him to treat you. It works both ways.


Dick: Now you sound like Alfred.


Barbra: Who's Alfred?


Dick: The butler. 


Barbra giggles 



At Gothcorp 

The main hall was under construction along with Boyle's office after both of Mr. Freeze's attacks


Bruce and Lucius oricstraited to look into Gothcorp's old projects to find any possible ties ins Freeze might have with them or Boyle


Secretary: I must say I'm really surprised when I received your call Mr. Wayne. Mr. Boyle never shares anything this personal. 


Bruce: Well we just want to be sure it's nothing to press against.


Lucius: Plus Mr. Boyle did business with Thomas Wayne Bruce wanted to know what it was.


Secretary: Of course. 


The secretary lead Bruce and Lucius into a file room and she pulled out couple that may hold what they're looking for


One file caught Bruce's attention 


Bruce: "Victor Fries"?


Lucius: What??


For some reason Lucius knew that name he and Bruce read he was a scientist in Gothcorp and designed the cryogenics and weapons Mr. Freeze uses they even saw.....


.....Victor and Nora's wedding picture 


Bruce: You knew him Lucius?


Lucius: Not in person but I read his work. He was way after your father's time. His work read that he developed steps for mankind to embrace Immortality. 


Bruce: Did he now? What he do dip in the fountain of youth for six hundred years.


Lucius: Not exactly. He made things for the future. Cryogenic Capsules that slow down age and diseases. 


Bruce: Guess we can learn a thing or two from him. He had a wife I see. 


Lucius: "Nora Fries" Such a sweet lady. Tragically her health didn't match.


Bruce: What happened? 


Lucius: Mrs. Fries was diagnosed with a terminal blood disease. Victor tried to fund his own designs to be restore her. Boyle found out and fired him


Bruce looked closely at Victor's picture and saw a resemblance between him an Mr. Freeze 

Bruce: That's him...


Lucius: What?


Bruce: Victor Fries.......as in MR. Freeze. 


Lucius's eyes widen 



(Bruce now knows who is enemy is.....where will this lead him now......?)
