- Cerberus: Wow... and I thought Star City was rough. You've got a crazy city, Huntress.
- Huntress: You're telling me... [bite of cheeseburger, chewing, swallow, straw slurp]
- Cerberus: But y'know, from here, it's sorta beautiful... When the moonlight hits the smog just right, that is.
- Huntress: You should see it when the Bat-Signal lights up.
- Cerberus: That happen often?
- Huntress: Not so much anymore. The new commissioner has only used it three or four times since taking office.
- Cerberus: So, not that I mind this... but what are we doing hanging out in the ruins of a prison? Shouldn’t we be patrolling the streets?
- Huntress: A girl's gotta eat. [giggle, bite of cheeseburger, chewing, swallow, straw slurp, straw slurp] You had the option of getting one, too.
- Cerberus: I don't make purchases while in uniform.
- Huntress: [chewing, straw slurp, giggle] Uniform, he says... Cute.
- Cerberus: What do you call it?
- Huntress: [scoff] Costume. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. [paper wrapper crumpling] We're here because it's a hot-spot. Low-lives like to come here.
- Cerberus: Uh-okay... They like to come here... to prison... voluntarily?
- Huntress: Yeah, lots of good stuff in the rubble here still. Records, scrap, weapons... and then others like to use it as a meeting place.
- Cerberus: GCPD can't just post some patrols here? Fence the place off?
- Huntress: They tried both... The cops are short-handed though and someone stole the fence.
- Cerberus: Someone stole a fence?
- Arkham X: [scoff] Welcome to Gotham.
- Cerberus: Who the hell are you?
- Arkham X: I was about to ask you the same thing...
- Huntress: [sigh] Cerberus, meet Arkham X. Arkham X, meet Cerberus.
- Cerberus: Arkham? As in the asylum? Aren't you at the wrong prison?
- Arkham X: I'm done being confined to that island alone. I'm more of an archipelago sort of guy now... but Archipelago X just doesn't have the same ring to it.
- Cerberus: Isn't Arkham named after one of Gotham's elite families or something? Maybe you should try calling yourself Cobblepot X.
- Arkham X: Yeah... Okay, tell that to her.
- Huntress: Who? Oh, you got to be kidding me.
- Lady Arkham: [cane tapping, footsteps] Fear not. My quarrel is with two of you alone. The other shall be spared.
- Cerberus: Alright, uh, Huntress... I'm clueless here. Who is this?
- Huntress: This is Lady Arkham... I, uh, know nothing about her other than she hijacked the TV channels a couple months back.
- Cerberus: Lady Arkham?
- Arkham X: Hey, don't look at me. I'm not affiliated with this whacko.
- Lady Arkham: Indeed, I seek only the one calling himself Arkham X and the Huntress. Assist me in their capture, Cerberus, and you will be allowed to leave without harm.
- Huntress: Wait a minute? You want me? What do you want me for?
- Arkham X: Probably the same reason I came to talk to you... I want to know what you're doing breaking inmates out of Arkham for.
- Cerberus: Wait, what?!
- Oracle: Whoa... What was that?
- Huntress: [nervous chuckle] Whoa, okay, hold on there now. I can explain!
- Lady Arkham: I for one am not interested in your pathetic excuses, nor your misguided justifications. My interest is only in the truth, Miss Bertinelli...
