1 – Colonel Kane is sitting at his computer, tracking mission data or whatever. He wears a neutral expression.
KATE (off-panel): Ugh. These daytime missions are killer.
JAKE: Oh?
2 – Kate is now standing behind him, wearing her Batwoman costume. The shot is angled in a way that everything above Batwoman's neck is off-panel. She is in the midst of taking off her gloves.
KATE: I spent the better part of the day on a hot tin roof staking out that warehouse.
3 – Jake looks behind him to talk with Kate. Kate has taken off her mask and wig, holding them in front of her. Jake is surprised by what he sees, stopping his speech in mid-sentence.

She has absolutely no idea that this is the case and looks rather perplexed at Colonel Kane's words and smile.
KATE: Why do you ask?
