Maria stared at Dick over the rim of her coffee cup, arching an eyebrow. "You really shouldn't have been caught by anyone, but I see no reason to inform him that you did any unauthorized breaking and entering into SHIELD." Not just because he'd gotten caught, but also because Maria wasn't sure just how territorial Bruce got over the idea of his sons working with SHIELD; it was one thing when he did with her, as he rarely and barely did. Dick was something else.
Dick was widely known for being warm and witty, playful even in danger; he was far less well known for being trained by Batman, possibly on the grounds that he showed it so rarely, but that didn't make it any less a part of who and what he was. His voice went clean and crisp, laying out the information, dates and people first, a proper report, and Maria's shoulders went back on reflex, responding to the formal briefing.
Her eyes remained on his, face neutral - except for a brief tick at the mention of Nygma disappearing from Gotham, not quite a wince, an acknowledgement she couldn't hide. He got through it all, and for a moment, she was quiet, sorting through the same timeline, fitting it to the pieces that she was aware of, weighing what she knew against what she should tell him. Even people working two ends of the same case didn't necessarily need to know what the other saw.
Except not telling him would put him in far more danger, him and everyone else who might be working with him - and he'd come to her, after all. "What we have sounds like a cell of Hydra who has had increasingly bad luck in Gotham, and who'straying to take steps to eliminate the threats to him and shake the hunters from their tail. Parts of it are straightforward," she said, using hands and coffee mug to show the flow, "they experiment, get attacked, move locations, get tracked and attacked again. Your serial killings earlier might be a fringe elements, or might be them trying to hide better by eliminating everyone who might know they exist.
"The only way they can move that fast is if they know what the hunters are doing almost before it's decided - which means they have eyes and ears into communications. They certainly have someone in SHIELD relaying them data," she added with a scowl. Double agents could be a fact of life, but they were a damn nuisance. "Good news is that if Cap's gone to paper, he has at least an inkling that there's a mole. That'll help. As for Nygma..."
She sighed, rotated the cup in her hands. "They want him because he's been in SHIELD," she admitted quietly. "Deep in - August 1st, we pulled him in so he could do a bit of consulting work for us, and of course things went horribly wrong and he did a reverse hack on us as well. They'd want to know what he saw so they can use it, or so he could get back in for them. Is he secure?" she had to ask.
