[Alfred]
Legend tells
of a caped crusader

Batman, guardian
of New Gotham.

And his one true love..

...Catwoman, the queen of
the criminal underworld.

Their passion left behind
something extraordinary.

A daughter, Huntress.

Half-metahuman, she has taken
up her father's mantle

and under cover of the night

fights to protect
the innocent and helpless.

Joining her
in this struggle, Oracle

who was once Batman's
protégée, Batgirl.

She was caught
in the crossfire of the war

between Batman and Joker.

[gunshot]

Now she fights crime
a different way.

A master of the cyber-realms

and mentor and
trainer to heroes.

Together, they have taken
in a young runaway, Dinah.

A metahuman herself

with powers to open hidden
doors to the mind

powers that she is
only beginning to explore.

Together, these three are
the protectors of New Gotham.

The Birds of Prey.

[hawk cries]

My name is Alfred Pennyworth,
and this is their story.

[intense music]

[male #1]
'Help! Help!'

[Helena]
Sometimes I just
wanna be like other girls.

[thwacks]

Why would you wanna
be like everybody else?

Normality is overrated.

Maybe, but I wouldn't mind
trying it on

for size every once in a while.

[Barbara]
'I don't think it would fit.'

Is it too much to ask
for a social life?

For example, how am I supposed
to meet a regular guy

when I spend all of my
evenings body-slamming scumbags?

Are you feeling okay?
This doesn't sound like you.

Can't even find anyone decent
enough to rescue out here.

[chuckles]
Okay, that's just rude.

[sizzling]

Oh, no, you do not
mess with the outfit.

[grunts]

Look at this. Hm.

Do you have any idea
how hard it is

to find clothes that look sexy?

[sizzling]

[screams]

Okay, normally
the bad guys don't bounce.

[sizzling]

What the hell happened to you?

["My Remedy" song playing]

[song continues]

[intense music]

[indistinct chatter]

Jesse Reese?

I'm Detective Claude Morton,
just transferred from Bludhaven.

What can I do for you?

Well, they told me upstairs that

if I'm looking for the bizarre,
I'm looking for Jesse Reese.

That doesn't sound too much
like a compliment to me.

It wasn't to them, it is to me.

Heard, you got a corpse
with a cause of death

that could charitably be
called "screamingly weird."

I'm tracking a killer
with a fairly bizarre MO.

You mind if I
take a look at those?

That's Arnie Graves.

Petty thief graduating
from purses to wallets.

Gets his chest cavity
burned out by acid.

- Sound like your guy?
- It's hard to tell.

He never kills
the same way twice.

Although, this does have
a special sick flair

I've come to associate
with his best work.

So Bludhaven PD sent you

all the way over here
to catch this perp?

No. They think I'm nuts.

'When I saw the murders
showing up in New Gotham'

I put in for the transfer
myself and Bludhaven

they were happy
to get rid of me.

'Now, my chief says
this guy doesn't exist.'

That no serial killer
would use

such a wide variety of methods.

- And what do you say?
- I say this one does.

That's the problem with only
looking for things

you've already seen.

Makes you blind to
the stuff that's, uh

right in front of your face.

[chuckles]
Yeah, well, I hear you

on that one but you might just
wanna keep that opinion

to yourself if you
wanna be taken seriously

around these parts.

Ask me if I care.

Anyway, your chief
assigned me to work with you

until your partner
gets back from vacation.

So I guess he thinks
I'm Mulder Junior already.

[laughs]

Alright.

Let's go track this thing down.

[intense music]

Hey.

How high was that?

- What, ten stories?
- Not nearly.

Maybe five.

What?

What are you doing here?

Trying to track down
info on a guy

with a big old smoking
acid hole in his chest.

Any insight?

Yeah, maybe.
What do you know about it?

Just trying to help.

Bet I'll solve it first.

What do you say,
cup of coffee.

Loser buys.

I don't think coffee's
such a good idea

and I'm not all that
thrilled about

sharing information, either.

- Why not?
- I'll tell you why not.

Because I don't even
know your name.

I have no idea who you are.

I'm the girl that saved
your life, remember?

I'll tell you what, detective

if this name thing's
such a big deal for you, fine.

You can call me Huntress.

That's still not good enough.
I mean..

So did you find out anything
about that acid guy?

Ugh. Nothing that makes sense.

That sample I took
from Helena's clothes

is the same stuff
that killed him.

Which means he was
murdered by exactly

the same acid that he produces.

Two metahumans hardly ever
have the same powers

so, um, what, acid guy
ran into another acid guy

'who just so happened to be
behind the dumpster?'

- How likely is that?
- You mean, an evil twin?

I think that sums up our
likelihood issue.

[Barbara]
'I've been through
all my research files'

checked the database.

Can't find anything
on power duplication.

So we've got a metahuman
mystery on our hands.

You know who we should talk to?

Now, wait a minute.

No one knows the metahuman

community better than he does.

- So you go talk to him.
- No.

He's not gonna tell
a non-meta anything.

And we need to put an ear
to the metahuman street.

There's a metahuman street?

Yeah, just west
of the Magic Kingdom.

Ha, ha, ha.

Fine, I'll go to No Man's Land.

- Thank you.
- No Man's Land?

Are there metas there?
Can I go?

On Fourth Street, yes,
and not on a school night.

- How are you doing?
- It's exciting.

At home I hated
going to school.

There are no secrets
in a small town.

I was a freak and everybody
knew it. Everybody.

But here,
it's like a fresh start.

You know,
no one even knows who I am.

Well, you know where my
classroom is

if you need anything.

You have your schedule?

Locker assignment?

- Okay.
- Barbara.

You're channeling
June Cleaver.

Right. Sorry. Um..

Have fun. I'll see you later.

[bell rings]

Okay, I'm Dinah Redmond.

I'm new, thanks for having me.

[teacher]
'Come on, Dinah.
We all wanna get to know you.'

Why don't you start
with where you're from?

Well, um, Opal, Missouri.

It's small.

Um, it's not much
of a town, actually.

However, it is where the term
"zipper" was coined.

So if any of you have zippers,
you have Opal to thank for that.

And, um...

...that's where I'm from.
Can I sit down now?

[class laughs]

Okay.

[whispers]
Invisibility.

That would be
a good power to have.

[girl #1]
'Hey, you guys.
I'll see you later.'

'Bye.'

[knocks]

Wade, hi.

Hi.

Um, listen, about Tuesday night.

I was wondering..

I know it's really short notice

but my folks are
coming through town and--

Oh, oh, no, no,
I-I totally understand.

You-you need to cancel.
That's fine.

Actually, I was hoping
you'd come to dinner with us.

Nice deer-in-the-headlights
impression, very subtle.

[laughs]
It's, well, Wade,
I-I don't know.

Maybe that's
not such a great idea.

Don't worry about it.
They're great.

- You're gonna love 'em--
- I'm not worried about that.

I-I...
Just, what if they don't..

[Wade]
'Don't what?'

[sighs]
See me the way you do.

Yeah, good point.

After all,
you're funny and interesting

maybe a little bit mysterious.

'They'll probably
run screaming.'

They'll like you.

Know how I know?

How?

Because I do.

So, uh, give me an idea
of what gets classified

as bizarre in New Gotham.

I've seen some things there's
just no sane explanation for.

I left my sanity behind
a long time ago.

It was slowing me down.

Yeah, I hear that.

I have seen perps that could
shoot electricity

out of their hands who could
jump ten stories

straight down
and land on their feet.

Perps who could turn into bugs.

Is that a lot of
little bugs or one big bug?

Both.

Have you ever run across
anybody who could

turn himself into water?

What, like a liquid guy?

No, that's a new one,
even for me.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Morton, you know
we're talking about things

that no normal person can do.

Because we're not
talking about people.

We're dealing with something
very dangerous here.

Don't ever make the mistake
of thinking those creatures

are anything like us.

I think the word "creatures"
is a little extreme--

It isn't.

Look. What if I could make all
this make sense to you, Reese?

'What if I could
give you the answer'

to all the crazy
things you've seen?

[pounding]

[grunts]

[echoing]
You alright?

Yeah, sometimes I,
I just get these headaches

that knock me flat
on my ass, like now.

Look, uh, I gotta go home.

We'll finish this conversation
in the morning, okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

[footsteps approaching]

Building's closed, my friend.
You shouldn't be in here.

[pounding]

- What do you want?
- I want you.

Hey, man, I did nothing to you.

It's not about what you did..

...it's about what you are.

Whoa, whoa. You really
don't wanna push me.

Back off.

I warned you.

[fire crackling]

[screams]

[upbeat music]

[sniffs]

No way you heard me.

Quite right.

Lime mandarin soap with just
a hint of New Gotham grime.

I'd recognize
that scent anywhere.

You smelled me.

[huffs]
Come, my delectable little peach
pit, let me buy you a drink.

It's on the house.

[Little Hercules singing
"Malt Liquor Revelation"]

♪ Sometimes it seems
to me to be either.. ♪♪

Hey, Frosty.

Helena, why such a stranger?

Oh, you know. All work, no play.

The usual for me, Frosty.

And if memory serves,
vodka rocks for the lady.

Coming up.

So the mysterious
and provocative Huntress

has chosen once again to
grace me with her presence.

- It's been too long.
- Funny.

To me, it never
quite seems long enough.

Twenty-three days, 14 hours,
seven minutes and three seconds.

- Stop it.
- Can't.

I never forget a sight, sound,
taste, touch or smell.

That's my gift and my curse.

I thought your curse
was to be the metahuman

with the world's
most annoying power.

Yeah, that too.

[Helena]
'A meta pickpocket
was killed the other night.'

It looks like by someone
with the exact same powers.

Have you heard anything?

[Gibson]
'Nothing. In fact,
I've never heard of two metas'

'with exact power overlap.'

Do you think that's
even possible?

I don't know what I think.

Something strange
is going on, though.

Thank you for the drink.

Yeah, no problem.

I'll, uh, put it on your tab.

Oh no, that's right,
you don't have one.

'Cause that would require

more than a semi-annual visit.

Tell me something,
is it the cocktail peanuts

or the meta-only policy
that makes you so uncomfortable?

I'm half-meta, Gibson,
the other half is human.

Just keep your eyes open, okay?

They always are.

And you know they never forget.

'Come on, Helena,
how about another round'

with us poor lost souls?

[instrumental music]

Hey, zipper girl.

- How's it going?
- Zipper girl?

What? That was a good one.

[Kristi Rush singing
"Little Wave Goodbye"]

Hey, you gotta call that, man.

- I'm out of here.
- Alright, Frosty.

We'll see you.

- Me too.
- Alright.

What the hell
are you doing here?

I just...am skipping school.

Yeah, I could see that.
How did you find this place?

Have you been poking around
in my mind again?

Actually, I looked it up
in the Yellow Pages.

- What about the--
- Secret entrance?

Yeah, there was
this guy out front

I sort of saw him coming out.

Look, school, uh..

I'm not exactly fitting in.

Hard to do when
you're not there.

Come on.
I'm walking you back.

I'm not gonna be responsible
for you getting in trouble.

Technically,
skipping is truancy.

Why is school so terrible?
Did something happen?

Not exactly.

I just thought it was gonna be
different here, you know?

But, people still stare at me
and they won't talk to me.

I can see it coming.
It's gonna be just like home.

Newsflash, it's high school.

The closest thing our society

has to institutionalized
torture.

They're staring at you
because every new kid's a freak.

I just don't see the point
of going to high school.

I mean, I already know what
I wanna be. A superhero.

You don't need algebra for that.

You need it to
have a normal life.

I don't want a normal life.

I want my life.

I've spent the last 15 years

hating myself because
I was different.

I'm done with that.

I am what I am

and I'm never gonna
be ashamed of it again.

Not to interrupt
the meta-pride parade

but you do know you
can be a regular person

go to school, and still
be who you are.

Yeah, I guess so.

I just wanted to see what it
would be like to be

a regular meta too.

Let me tell you something.

It's not all that
it's cracked up to be.

[Morton]
They call themselves metahumans

but the real word for what
they are is dangerous.

Let me get this straight.

Every metahuman
has a different ability.

But you can't tell by
looking what they can do.

That's right.

And they look just like
regular people.

They're everywhere.

[scoffs]
Okay, so, what you're telling me

is there's this
whole secret subculture

right underneath our noses.
Come on, man.

How is that possible?

A generation ago,
there was a man

a vigilante who prowled
New Gotham's nights

claiming he was fighting
for justice.

All the while, and I'm not
kidding about this

he was dressed as a bat.

Oh.

Okay, now I know
you're messing with me.

A grown man fights crime

and he does it dressed
as a giant flying rodent?

I think it's safe to assume
he had some issues.

He called himself the Batman.

Haha, okay,
that-that's creative.

Oh, I didn't make it up.

The point is,
he attracted criminals.

It was a prestige
thing to fight him.

You know, make your mark
in the underworld.

That only explains
why there are so many

criminals here in New Gotham.

I mean, all metahumans
can't be criminals.

Why not?
Their kind is drawn to crime.

They think
they're above the law.

What about this flying bat guy?

He fought crime.

- He was a metahuman.
- No, no, no.

He was human all the way,
he just, you know

had a scary dress sense.

Anyway, he vanished
about seven years ago

but the metahumans stayed.

Had families, built lives here,
they're-they're here still.

Some even married humans.

You don't even wanna know
how screwed up those kids are.

You know what I'm talking about,
Reese, I can tell.

Alright, um, look.

I met this woman
a few weeks back.

But she was no criminal.

People who have nothing to hide

aren't afraid
to come out into the light.

Let me guess. You don't contact
her, she comes to you.

Well, usually she just
sort of shows up but..

...over a dead body.

Mm.

Maybe we'll get lucky
and another one will turn up.

[thunderclap]

[intense music]

It's the same killer I've been
tracking, I can smell it.

[pounding]

Hey, hey, easy, easy.
It's okay.

I've got some more in my car.

I'll be right back, ha.

[sighs]

Well, well. Another corpse
and here you are.

Why am I not surprised?

Well, hello to you too.

- What do we have?
- Ah, we don't have anything.

I have a crime scene.

You have gotta start
answering some questions.

It's Frosty.

Wait a minute,
you know this vic?

He's frozen. Somebody must have
killed him with his own power.

It's true, isn't it?

You're one of those
meta-things, aren't you?

"Things"?

You think I'm a thing?

I don't know.
Why don't you just tell me?

'What the hell are you?'

I mean, you damn sure
aren't normal.

I mean, come on, look around
you, none of this is nor--

God, I hate it
when she does that.

[intense music]

[pounding]

- You're kidding yourself.
- What?

It'll never work
between you and Reese.

I'm his new partner.

First, I made sure
he knows what you are.

- And second..
- Second?

...I'm about to kill you.

Okay, first, you really
should do something

about that headache of yours.

'And second..'

...I don't kill easy.

[music continues]

[Morton]
'Well, looks like someone's
finally met her match.'

[pants]

[grunts]

[crashes]

[siren approaching]

[tires screeching]

[grunts]

Oh, man, you came out of
nowhere. I-I didn't see you.

[male #2]
'Are you okay?'

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

[Helena]
The guy nearly killed me.

Tried calling Reese to warn him
about his new partner

the bad lieutenant.
He didn't believe me.

In fact, he kind of hung up.

This guy is as good as me.

Me!

First we got acid guy
who was apparently killed

by his own powers
and next we got a guy in ice.

Frosty.

One day he's making
frozen margaritas

the next day he is one.

I had to call Gibson
and tell him.

He's getting the word out
for people to lay low

until we solve this thing.

This, uh...this cop, he seemed
to take on your abilities.

He seemed to mimic
your every move.

What if we're dealing
with a metahuman

who can mirror
other metahuman powers?

I still don't understand
how I got away.

I got across the street
and then suddenly

I don't know, he just stopped.

Maybe his abilities
have a fixed range.

Based on the street layout
where you got away

it looks like minimum safe
distance is about 20 yards.

Great.

How do I beat a guy
I can't get close to?

I don't know yet.

Wait, you said, you said
he got a nasty headache

when you got near him, right?

What if we could
use that, somehow?

Yeah, but if I'm close enough
to give him a migraine

then, I'm close enough
for him to mirror my powers.

- I need to do more research.
- Research? People are dying.

We need a plan.

You know what? Forget it.

Helena, come on.
Don't walk away.

You don't understand.
You can't.

You're not like me, like us.

[laughs]

Last night I heard Wade's
mother telling him

that I wasn't
good enough for him

because I didn't have
legs that work.

Yeah, you're right.

What do I know
about being different?

Barbara..

...I'm sorry, I really am.

And the truth is

even though Wade's parents
may be small-minded jerks...

...they weren't
trying to kill you.

Someone's murdering my people.

And I can't just stay here
figuring out

what his favorite color is.

I have to find him.

I have to stop him.

sent you?

With a message for me, perhaps?

No. Ha.

Oh, no matter.

[Reese]
She's saying
you tried to kill her.

She tried to kill me, Reese.
Believe it.

That's not her MO, Morton.
It doesn't fit.

How can you be sure?
How well do you know her?

- She saved my life.
- Yeah, and what'd she get?

A cop in the pocket,
how convenient.

These creatures are animals,
they think like animals.

It's nothing but survival.

Man, if you think she gives
a damn about you, she doesn't.

[pounding]

[grunts]

[Reese]
'What the hell are you doing?'

What, not using
your super-powers tonight?

Why are you doing this to him?

Afraid that Reese here's gonna
see that you're a thing?

Reese, stop her. She's crazy.

[groans]

Let me down, you're killing me.

Reese, help me, Reese.

Shoot her.

For God's sakes, Reese!

Shoot her!

Let him go or I'll shoot.

[tense music]

Shoot her.

You gonna pull that trigger?

He's the killer
you've been looking for.

- Reese..
- You gotta see how this looks.

You're the one
trying to kill him.

And you are one
of those metahuman...creatures.

What if I am?

You wanna shoot, go ahead.

If you think you can hit me.

You're right.
I'm not like you.

Does that make it right
for you to kill me?

No.

No, it doesn't.

I expected more from you, Reese.

[gunshot]

Reese.

Your turn.

Huntress.

[Helena]
'Oracle, Reese is shot.'

'Get an ambulance
at Fourth and Hennessey.'

Huntress, what's happening?
Did you get away?

Yeah. I guess, there's really no
substitute for experience

when it comes to scaling
tall buildings.

I must have gotten far enough
away for him to lose his powers.

Now I just gotta wait here
for him to catch up.

What?

There's only one way
this thing's gonna end.

Like you said.

I can't beat him.
But he can't beat me, either.

We're gonna have
to go down together.

Tell me where you are.
I'll come fight him with you.

If I don't stop him,
he'll keep on killing.

I can't let him do that.

Don't you do this.

'Please.'

'You can't face him alone.'

'We'll figure this out,
just get out of there.'

'Huntress?'

- Gotta go, date's here.
- Huntress!

[radio clicks off]

- Huntress!
- We've gotta do something.

[Barbara]
'If I can access
the GPS from her comm. set'

we'll find her.

- I know what you are.
- Then you know you can't win.

You're killing
your own kind. Why?

I'm not your kind.

You're a monster.

And as long as even one
of you exists, I'm a freak.

This pain in my head
comes from you.

Every time
I get near one of you

I change into something
I don't wanna be.

Into something that I hate.

So I..

...am going to destroy
all of you.

'And when the last one
of you dies..'

...I'll be normal.

I'll be free.

And I'm the one in therapy.

[intense music]

You're going to die
just like all the others.

Maybe, but I'm gonna
make you work for it.

[grunting]

You'll die too.

I can live with that.

[Morton groans]

[Dinah]
'How does that feel?'

[echoing]
Twice the pain?

You subhuman bitch.

[groans]

Back at you, bitch.

Helena. Helena.

Helena, no. Helena.

This isn't what we do, Helena.

We don't kill.

Maybe death is too easy.

Maybe you should stay alive,
locked in a cell to rot.

Your head splitting
thinking of what you've done.

No!

[pounding]

There's a difference..

...between staying
alive and living.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

[groans]

If you wanna know if I killed
him, I didn't, he jumped.

- You look terrible.
- And you don't.

Another perk of the meta
lifestyle. I heal quick.

On the outside, anyway.

I can't decide if I should
thank you for not shooting me

or beat you senseless
for drawing a gun on me.

'Cause you know things like me
are dangerous and violent.

Are you saying that you aren't
dangerous and violent?

Absolutely, I am.
But not because I'm meta.

Look, I'm just,
I'm not used to--

No. It's time for you to listen.

[solemn music]

Metahumans are just people.

Not all metas are bad,
just like not all cops are good.

'There's lot of metahuman
criminals in New Gotham.'

Because there's a lot of
criminals here, period.

And as for me

I'm half-meta and I'm half-human

and I am proud of both.

[Reese]
'I never thought
you killed him.'

[grunts]

But beat him to a bloody pulp?

That one crossed my mind
a few times.

Hey, why won't you
just tell me your name?

'Cause the first time we met..

...you asked me who I was.

But last night,
you asked me what I was.

I won't tell you my name.

You haven't earned it.

[whoosh]

I'm sorry..

[instrumental music]

Gibson's so great.

Yeah, give him time.

Hey, how'd the thing
with Wade's folks go?

Short version?

Complete and utter
parental rejection.

Well, they just don't know you.

Not any more than
Reese knows me.

And we can't really
tell them, can we?

What do you think
it's like for Morton?

You know,
to hate yourself so much.

He didn't understand.

It's not what you are,
it's who.

Hey, what do you say we head
down to Gibson's?

The three of us misfits.

I think we deserve
a night out.

Helena?

Damn straight.

And I can't think of a better
place to spend it.

Gibson's it is.

Uh, what happened to wanting
to be like other girls?

I got over it.
