The pair of them leave Jason behind by the statues for now. Nessie doesn't apologize for what she said -- she's not sorry, and she wants Donna to know that the lack of trust goes both ways.
"Do you even know where I work these days?" Nessie asks, but doesn't wait for her answer to go on. "I work in Gotham City. Because it's one of the worst off places, so it's the place that needs the help the most. I assist in placing the kids whose lives get torn apart -- by drugs and crime and supervillainy -- in safe homes where they can heal, whether that's in Gotham or out of it. The Red Hood noticed what I do, and he started calling on me to help when he ran into kids like that, breaking up all kinds of illegal trades."
Her chin goes up, displaying some of the scars on her throat, as she locks eyes with Donna. "I know what it's like to passed around like an object. He stops that, for these kids who can't save themselves. We stop that. And he respects how hard I work to make up for the bad I did."
