Bruce Wayne sat in his office at Wayne Enterprises, he stared blankly at the computer screen in front of him. He knew that as Batman alone he may not be able to track down the two newest criminals to Gotham that were causing him some great heartache. The Doctor was criminally insane in his pursuits and testing, and The Shifter was a mysterious female. She seemed to be a pet, but a very loyal one capable of rational thought at an adult level. Her skills were amazing, never before had he ran into someone quite like her. Joker was crafty but lacked the physical attributes, Catwoman was sneaky and crafty, she could even hold her own in a fight, but not even she could do what this woman could. Even Bane, Batman's greatest physical threat to that point could not match up to her. She could become any animal, seemingly rapidly, and that put Batman in a compromised position.<br/><br/>Until he found a weakness, beyond being cold, he was going to need other methods. So thus Bruce was trying to employ his power at Wayne Enterprises to help out. One of the things he did was begin researching new technology to help the police, first with weapons, then with forensics. Of course the problem with research is that it takes time, and time was not much of a luxury they could afford at the moment. Crime was increasing from The Shifter, she was becoming far more active, and her methods had proven to be elite. The places that were targeted already had the best security systems that Bruce could supply them with, still nothing worked. Not that this surprised Bruce too much, when you could shapeshift to the size of a mosquito basically any security system was going to be rendered ineffective. Her powers afforded her the ability to disappear before motion sensors even had a chance to register what had happened. It appeared like things were going to go nowhere fast.<br/><br/>Gotham was in a state of panic, and the mayor was heavily considering a curfew just to help quell the mess. Protestors and rioters began appearing at various GCPD locations as well as Wayne Enterprises. "What do they expect I am going to be able to do." Bruce said absentmindedly to no one in particular since he was alone. He had tried to prevent things, but nothing was working so far. Of course it took a lot to break the spirit of Bruce Wayne, and he had not yet given up on the idea that there was hope to stop whatever master plan they were going for.<br/><br/>It did not take long for crowds to form around the bank of the latest robbery. Millions of dollars to be had and yet all that was taken was a USB thumb drive, one that contained valuable information. Rumors swirled that the National Guard was going to get called in and take over. Cyber analysts were already beginning to monitor traffic to trace the valuable artifact. While daylight was not typically a time when the great Batman made an appearance, but there seemed to be no other alternative. Even in the great debacle going on though he managed a bit of stealth, at least from the massive crowds that were formed up.<br/><br/>He had used the darkness of an alleyway to scale the building, his grappling gun doing most of the heavy work. The rubber suited hero stood alone, seemingly, on the rooftop of the bank. He peered in through the windows above, natural light being a big precedence in the age of saving power and electricity. He scanned, seeing that the police were already hard at work. He knew what they would find, maybe a piece of fur here, or a feather there, but nothing that would help them in the long run. Even with DNA evidence there was no tracking her. He had done that once, and it didn't end well. All he could do now was hope that there was an extra clue left somewhere on the outside. He suspected the roof may have been used for access, it was the most concealed location to allow for such a crime.
