So, Cat isn't quite as smart as she thinks she is. Being so old that history is just another day can lower your defenses and allow you to miss things that can come back and bite you on the lower end of the spine.

And it was almost funny to see (through Lois's eyes) the spectacle of Ramirez bidding money he apparently couldn't afford to pay out for that beautiful sword. Is she mad at him for something, or is it just the usual competition between Immortals?

Interesting that Bruce Wayne dropped out so close to the end. Was he just trying to run up the price, or was his interest real? Will Ramirez now be a target of some other sword-wielding electrician? Can't wait to see.

Please, Marcus, don't make us wait so long for the next chapter. This is good stuff, even if there can be only one in the end.
