Synopsis for "Duende"

Graves, Willock and Crane Building. Gotham Financial District

Catwoman organizes an heist with the collaboration of Oswald Cobblepot, also known as underworld boss and casino owner Penguin, and Edward Nygma, better known as the intelligent and crafty madman who goes by the name of Riddler. They were inside the Penguin's safe bunker, resisting to the Joker War, but Selina never wanted to stay there. She unknowingly gave the keys to Joker which allowed him to steal all of Bruce Wayne's fortune, and she needed a plan to take that fortune back. Now she will: as Nygma gets into the Underbroker's security system and Cobblepot provides an external diversive, Selina dances through a jungle of lasers and alarms, reaching the main servers.

Then, in a risky move, she cuts out both Penguin and Riddler from the plan, making all the money Joker took from Wayne and also all the money of other criminal hid inside Graves, Willock and Crane's operations go to a secret account. She then escapes the building, outwitting the Riddler. But in the end, the Penguin takes her, shooting her in the stomach. As she is condemned, an unexpected ally comes to help: detective Dean Hadley from Villa Hermosa. Stepping inside his car, Selina is brought to Hadley's apartment, where he cures her wound, potentially lethal. After a ten-hour sleep, Selina is back on her feet. She tricks Hadley into talking about why he came to Gotham, and escapes the building without making him notice.

Fox Industries Private Airstrip, Gotham City

As Lucas Fox, CEO of Fox Industries, steps into his car, he's welcomed by a new chauffeur: Selina Kyle. She tells him she sent all the money to an offshore account with the name of Lucius on it. It's all the money Joker stole from Bruce that the clown has not spent away already, plus money from several criminals in Gotham. It must be used to get Bruce back in business and to help the people of Gotham damaged by the war. And she also knows she will be in danger after doing this, but she does not care: it's not the first time she dances this dance.
