The next morning, Dick wakes up with bruises on his body and face, then hears a knock on his door. He lets out a sigh, gets out of bed, puts a shirt on and walks to the door. He opens it and sees Aaron, who is surprised by Dick's appearance and the damages in his apartment.
"Jesus, what happened? Did someone break in?" Aaron asks.
Dick chuckles a bit.
"Technically, yeah. Bru... Batman, paid me a visit last night." Dick tells him as he sits down.
"You mean, Bruce Wayne?" Cash replies.
Dick looks at Aaron, surprised.
"I put two and two together. I'm guessing you two had strong words for each other."
Dick rubs the back of neck before answering.
"Oh you know, he said that l wasn't ready to watch over Bludhaven. That I was being childish and basically blamed me for the second Robin's death."
"Damn. That's a lot. You ok?" Aaron says.
Dick takes a deep breath.
"Yeah. I will be, anyways. So uh, we got another case?"
"Yeah, we do actually. Last night, a prostitute slash undercover cop was found dead in a hotel room."
Aaron hands Dick pictures of the young woman with her head bashed in.
"Jeez. I guess I wasn't the only one who had a rough night. Any witnesses see who she came to the hotel with her?"
"Yeah, a maid. She described an exact description of Frankie Black."
"The "alleged" mob boss. He must have caught on to the undercover cop, and decided to take care of her. Black's good at covering his tracks, he's probably already somewhere hiding."
"Seems like you're not the only one that think so. Someone hit one of Black's wearhouses this morning, looking for him. Beat the shit out his guys and filled them with arrows."
Dick looks at his partner in confusion.
"Arrows?"
"Yep. From a small cross bow."
Aaron hands Dick another picture of knocked out men and a lot of arrows shot into their arms and legs.
"Looks like, she's in town." Dick says with a smirk.
"She? She who?"
Dick hands Aaron back the photos and starts to put on his shoes and jacket before he answers.
"Huntress. The crossbow is kind of her thing."
"Yeah, I heard about her back in Gotham. Her methods were just as brutal as Batman's, sometimes even more. What she's doing in Bludhaven?"
"I don't know..But I'm going to find out, tonight."
The two then leave and head to the bunker.
That night two men run through a dark alley. One of the men are then shot in the leg with an arrow and falls to the ground. As the second man looks back, he sees him dragged into darkness. He finally hits a dead end and turns around with a gun in his hand. As he swings the gun around, the Huntress jumps down behind him, grabs his hand and breaks it. She punches him in the gut and spin kicks him into the wall.
She aims the crossbow right at his face and smiles.
"Now, it's time to talk." She says.
A wingding is then thrown, knocking the crossbow out of her hands.
"I couldn't agree more." Nightwing says from the fire escape.
