Red Light Market, Star City
Dinah chatted with Christy while they went over to the multi-media section, she stopped when her eye spotted sets of cds.
“Oh the Puppy self-hypnosis discs,” Christy saw what Dinah spotted, “It is a great longer term training tool.”
“Why are there different ones?” Dinah asked.
“This one makes boys bi-sexual rubber puppies, girls into bi-sexual rubber puppies, boys into gay rubber puppies, and girls into lesbian rubber puppies,” Christy sorted the discs, “And this one is for couples to be completely bi-sexual leather and rubber puppy sluts.”
Dinah’s face flushed as she grabbed a few CDs.
“Got any Kitty discs?” Dinah asked.

Gotham Safe House
Cassandra Cain was lost, really who she was was just one big mess and there was no easy answer for the question of “Who are you?” Well, she had an answer, but it was not an easy one. Cassandra stopped meditating when she heard the computer ping at completing the connection.Cassandra went back to the computer and started bringing up the surveillance videos of the hall that housed Alfred Pennyworth.
[What happened?] Cassandra murmured, “Now I am talking to myself in Japanese… and English.”
Cassandra had been silent for so long, then with the help of Sensei Bruce and Sansei Barbara she had learned to talk, and with their help she had learned many languages. Stephanie helped her learn to chat. Now she was on her own, and while she occasionally worked with a partner or two, she still had the urge to say things out loud.
Right away, Cassandra spotted a red haired bimbo and Tim go into Alfred’s room. Tim pulled out a small devise from his coat pocket. That mystery was solved, except Cassandra noticed something, the bimbo took out small plastic baggy with a pair of earphones in it and dumped them into Tim’s hand.
That was odd… Cassandra didn’t know what to make of it.

USS Lovecraft, Mermaid Atoll
Mary tried to act as if nothing had happened when she exited the cabin’s bathroom. She stopped when she saw James and Diana sitting in chairs looking right at the bathroom door.
“Tell her what you just told me,” Diana motioned to James.
“On a ship,” James started, “The Bathrooms are called Heads, and it sounded like you wear getting some great head in there!”
Mary’s face went flush.
“Dreaming about converting some pagans or something?” Diana asked.
“No,” Mary said sheepishly.
“Then what could get you that excited?” Diana asked rhetorically, “Maybe some form of power exchange? Like using a lover as a piece of furniture?”
Mary stared as James got down on the floor and moved into position to allow Diana to use him as a foot stool. She grew hot and wet again as she watched Diana produce a thin stick and started swatting James on the bottom. All the while Diana watched Mary’s aroused reaction to the erotic nature of the scene she staged with her love slave.
“Maybe some domination by punishing her lover?” Diana smiled, “Maybe she needs to be punished herself for such sinful thoughts.”
Before Mary knew what happened Diana tossed her lasso around Mary’s neck and Mary’s mind went blank.

Gotham Safe House
Cassandra went over the information again, it had been Tim and the Red haired woman that given Alfred the mystery MP3. And look at the information data rip of the MP3 files, nothing was out of the ordinary. Still something about this just seemed odd so she had gone over them again looking for sub-audio data in the tracks. She found nothing. She messaged Sensei Bruce about what she had done. He wasn’t please that she had snuck into Alfred’s room but could not argue with how complete her investigation was.
What she didn’t know was that two days ago her terminal had received an update from the Oracle Command terminal that blinded the safe house terminal Sub-Audio detection filters to the pattern used by the Rubber Queen and her agents.
Cassandra had managed to disable the use notifications so none of the other Bats knew she was using the safe house.

Barbra Gordon’s apartment, Gotham City
Barbara picked up the phone call from her one time rival, Raven.
“What’s up Raven?” Barbara said over the encrypted line, “You and Gar working on a litter of puppies? Yeah that one was too far. So why the call? Yes I was a patient at St. Anky’s Clinic, why? No, they were secretive sure, but they were on the up and up. Saint Dymphna? Never heard anything about them. Nope never heard of Wayne Bio-medical Technologies. You know the boss, so yeah I did have to be Sarcastic. Guy taking out trash in a green rubber suit? Just let you in? A half dozen guys in green rubber suits? Doctor in a Blue suit with a white cross? Rewarded him with a Hug? Ah Raven, Autism is real, there is a lot of research into the healing effects of Hugs on people with Autism. Well inflating rubber hug suits are a new one to me too. Any dirty shit? Clean bill from the State Inspections? Funding checked out? So what’s the problem? Look if a thirty year old has severe Autism they may just have the mentality of a child still, so if the Doctor is treating them like children then it would be appropriate. Look give me her name and I will check in the Wayne HR files on her too. Ok, you coming tomorrow night? Yeah Boss man gave his ok as long as nobody uses their powers. I will see you tomorrow at about 8 in the evening!”
Barbara hung up the secure Bat issued phone and picked up the secure phone that Her Majesty gave her.
“Colleen, Barbara here. I have a friend asking about a Saint Dymphna clinic dealing with adults with Autism? I figured as much when she mentioned green rubber inflatable hug suits… Drone programing as a possible means of increasing functionality in severe Autistic patients? Noble if not kinky. I would hope not since that would constitute rape if the person can’t knowingly give consent. Can I get one of these inflatable hug suits for my personal retard slave boy?”

Midtown Gotham
Bruce drove himself in the restored 1963 Alfa Romeo 2600. Selina went to have dinner with the kittens and said they had something planned for her for the rest of the week. Dick was still in hiding even after Bullock delivered the truce. Tim, Steph and Kari were meeting at Mrs Brown’s place. Bruce was on his way to pick up Barbara, he had something that he wanted her to check before they went over.
Bruce Parked in the underground garage for the Clock Tower and made his way to the hidden elevator that went all the way to the secrete room in the Clock Tower.
“What’s up?” Barbara asked Bruce as he exited the hidden elevator, “I thought I would head down to meet you.”
“In a few minutes,” Bruce tossed her an evidence baggy, “I need a quick autopsy on these right now.”
“Cheap headphones,” Barbara looked at the bag then dumped the contents on a desk and began scanning them, “See for finger prints and then move on to slicing them open.”
“Go ahead and cut them,” the Batman in Bruce’s suit ordered.
“Ok,” Barbara grabbed the razor blade, “main lines, degaussing bands, split, magnetic amplifiers assemblies it’s all normal if not high quality. See this soldering here on the left ear bud, the maker over did it and it will produce a little bit of buzzing noise. Most people wouldn’t even notice it. What is this about?”
“Nothing,” Bruce said, “Go out your front door and meet me in the garage.”
Barbara looked over and saw the match icon flash on her screen, clicking the button for more data, it was Drake, Timothy.
