Batwoman #2 (2017)

At a local club, Kate Kane has her first date with Maggie Sawyer, grabbing herself a beer, and some red wine for her date. Sawyer is preoccupied with worries about Agent Chase's vendetta, and shares her problems with Kate. Kate plays off Chase's intent to unmask the Batwoman, diverting any suspicion from herself as Sawyer explains that she would bring the Batwoman in herself for the sole reason that she is interfering with her cases. After downing her glass of wine, she invites Kate to leave with her.

Kate walks Sawyer to her door, but declines to come in, charmingly making a number of incongruous excuses. She kisses Maggie's cheek, stating that she would like to see her again as soon as possible before leaving. As Kate walks away, Maggir gets a text message from Harvey Bullock), reporting that there are multiple murder victims and a burglary in Guttersnipe Gardens.

At the crime scene, Sawyer is accompanied by Bullock and Chase. It appears to have been a gang-war between two rival gangs of Underworlders. The were-beasts strewn about are from an offshoot of the Religion of Crime. The other gang, Sawyer doesn't recognize. One of the victims is missing, presumably attacked by the unknown gang before the were-beasts arrived. However, the other gang had a Meta with them, who tore many of the were-beasts apart, allowing somebody to drag the missing victim away. From the shadows, Batwoman is impressed with her girlfriend's detective work.

Later, Batwoman meets with Batman on a rooftop. Before she can ask, she warns that she hasn't decided to join his organization yet. He accepts, but warns that the offer won't last forever. She asks him for some information, and passing him a card, he comments that he had already heard that Cameron Chase is in Gotham. He explains that she and the DEO have been tasked with keeping tabs on vigilantes. He warns that if Chase has set her mind on unmasking the Batwoman, she will destroy every woman in Gotham until she finds her.

Batwoman breaks into Sawyer's office and looks into her files, finding an old photo of a boathouse in Gotham Harbour. Suddenly, Sawyer enters the room and attempts to arrest her, but Batwoman shoves her against a wall and dives out the window. Frustrated, Sawyer calls Agent Chase to tell her where she can find Batwoman.

Batwoman investigates the boathouse, but as she trudges through the shallows below, the water suddenly rises and drags her under.
