Karon is in shock as she fears for both herself and Holly, and tries to calm down, hearing that Selina's sister been kidnapped.

    After this failure, he turned his attention once again to Catwoman. Threatening her friends and family, he coaxed her out for a confrontation.

    Catwoman is still keeping the people in Gotham's forgotten neighborhoods safe, but without anything in her personal life as Selina Kyle to keep her going, she becomes more dangerous to herself and the people around her. It'll take everything she has to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and her apathy could have dire consequences. Karon talks to Catwoman and realizes after all that has happen, she is not leaving, and that they are friends. Karon and Holly are even the den mothers to the kids in the Alleytown Gang.

    Selina reaches some devastating conclusions about herself and Holly makes a decision that could plunge her back into the dark world of drug addiction.

    War Games

    Selina asks Holly and Karon to look after Spoiler, who Black Mask is looking for.

    They kind of treat it more like babysitting than anything, just being normal with her and each other, not thinking she'd try to give them the slip.

    So what happens? They send her for more chips and she gives them the slip of course.

    Selina comes back home and they have to fess up to losing Spoiler. Selina isn't happy, obviously, but gets over it. Karon hides away with Holly, after that while the whole 'War Games' story plays itself out.

    Night Moves

    Selina and Holly hit the road to see the world, rediscover themselves, and track down a very important figure from Holly's past. Their first stop takes them to upstate New York, where they have a not-so-chance encounter with the J.S.A.'s Wildcat. But as he shows Holly the ropes, Karon is there and will go wherever and whenever Holly goes, becoming part of Selina's and Holly's family.

    At the end of the Wild Ride, Selina's plan to take back the East End from the Mob hits a snag when an innocent girl is kidnapped. Holly and Karon are then well prepared if they are going to be attacked. Luckily for them, the attack is not for them, but for Catwoman, who is set up to take the live bait. Selina crosses paths with Batman as she scours the East End for the mastermind behind the brutal kidnapping that put one of her friends in the hospital. Holly and Karon are glad that they are safe and that nothing bad happened.

    Later, Holly and Karon are buying CDs and Karon ties to talk with her about the whole Selena pretending to be dead thing and all the craziness in their lives now. How she feels they're not really in control. Holly has total faith in Selena though, and Karon doesn't push it, so the issue remains kind of unresolved.

Karon and Holly are seen just waiting for they are going to do next, but wonder where Selina went.

Karon and Holly are prepared to defend themselves, from anything that comes their way.

    The Replacements

    Selina receives a telephone call from Karon expressing concern over the fact Holly has yet to return. Selina reassures her that Holly is just fine, unaware that Holly is much less than fine as she is tied up and laying on the edge of a sky scraper, unmasked. When she finally returns home, she is emotionally wrecked confiding with Karon that she does not want to talk about it before locking herself in her bedroom to cry.
