History:
(Showcase '93 #1-4) - The quiet of Brideshead came to an end when Ramon Bracuda set up drug and other criminal rackets there. Catwoman told Arizona about how the neighborhood was in decline, and they witnessed Arizona's cats crash through their apartment window before dying. Catwoman went after Bracuda's men, while Arizona investigated outside their apartment. She found that Bracuda's men were dumping contaminated meth in their apartment's dumpster, which was the cause of her cats' death, and one of Bracuda's men found her snooping and beat her. She tended to Arizona and told her to lay low, knowing Bracuda would be gunning for Catwoman after what she did to his men. Arizona spent her convalescence immersing herself in her painting, and made a nice forgery of the painting Catwioman's client Starkey had commissioned her to steal before Bracuda ripped it off under Catwoman's nose. Catwoman drove Bracuda out of town, recovered the painting, and learned that Bracuda had hired Starkey to set her up. Catwoman took Arizona's forgery, and smashed it over Starkey's head. Arizona suggested they sell the real work of art, but Catwoman decided to return it to the museum.
