“You don’t need to worry about me,” Kate says as you ice her black eye. “Just bumped into something.”

She’s definitely not telling you she got it while trying to stop five bank robbers last night. You’re a civilian, so far detached from vigilante life it’s almost comical that you’re her childhood friend. She’s keeping her identity as Batwoman a secret to protect you. She’d die before you got involved in any of this. It’s harder to keep the secret now that you live in the same place, though.
