"Cat Grant here and you are watching CatCo. Today I'm here to talk about Catgirl-"

Alfred muted the TV on his way over to the counter island Katherine was sitting at.

"No, turn it up!" She whined at Alfred, "They were talking about me..."

"Nothing you need to hear right now." Alfred muttered, putting down toast and going back to the eggs he was frying.

"Ooh Cat Grant's talking about Katherine, this'll be good." Dick said, turning the volume on the TV back up before sitting next to her at the counter.

"-Belle Reve Breakout, which made her the first ever inmate to pull off the previously thought as impossible prison escape. A year later I'm here to tell you how she did it-"

"Hey!" Katherine and Dick whined in unison as Alfred turned off the tv and put their full breakfast in front of them.

"You have no time for TV today, Master Bruce has a full day planned for the both of you."

"But we were just about to find out how I escaped prison!" Katherine protested, "I've been wanting to hear this all year!"

"I'm sure she'll post all about it on Tweeter." Dick rolled his eyes, biting into one of his sausages, "Bruce made me follow her after she gave him good press a while back, like it makes me suddenly have to know what she put on her salad during her lunch break."

"Pfft." Katherine snickered, "Cat Grant giving someone good press. Good one."

"Good Morning." Bruce grumbled, still groggy from the fight in The Watchtower last night.

Dick guilty eyed his eggs, not making eye contact with him at all.

Katherine was yet to get the details from anyone on the team, but the fight seemed to make things between The Dynamic Duo that much tenser.

Katherine more boldly asked him, "Have you found any leads on The Light yet?"

"No."

Not surprising, but he didn't seem to be paying her any attention.

"What about Roy?" She asked, testing if he really was ignoring her.

"No."

Lies.

Despite being a clone designed to help take them down, Red Arrow was still The Justice League's newest member.

"Are you even listening to me?" She narrowed her eyes, already knowing the answer.

"No."

At least he answered honestly that time.

"Well good morning to you too, Bruce." Katherine mumbled into her glass of milk before taking a drink of it.

Dick sighed and took the glass away from her, drinking the rest of it before she could.

"Lactose intolerant." He reminded, "No dairy."

"Yeah well that's not dairy, it's milk." Katherine swiped the glass from him, going back to the fridge to refill it.

Dick let out a longer sigh before turning to Bruce and asking, "What's on today?"

Katherine stopped making her way to the fridge to glare at Bruce, who wasn't even paying attention to Dick.

Dick continued, "Can I ask what you have planned?"

Bruce poured himself a cup of black coffee and took a sip before explaining, "I've got a new training plan I want the team to test today."

"Fun." Katherine sarcastically muttered, pouring a new glass of milk.
