It is not a building or such, so we can leave out Carman Sandiago. As far as I know, there is nothing cat-like about the taken gems, and as far as I can tell, Catwoman only likes the New York and New Jersey area (ooc: Don't want to say Gotham City unless it exists. We CAN have Catwoman without Batman and Gotham City after all). That also leaves out many of the more territorial criminals. There has been talk in the mystical world about something called the Silver Imperial Crystal. But honestly I don't know where to go to ask about something like that." (Ooc: The rumor of the SIC can exist without Sailor Moon. Also there may be other mystical gems out there. Like Godgems. Much like Lady Heart's.) "Yeah," Barbara says. "Catherine's maternal grandmother could've pulled it off, but she died of cancer three years ago. We were both at the funeral. As far as her parents go, they died when they ran a red light in their SUV and plowed into the side of a semi, cutting their heads and the top half of the vehicle off. Their blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit. No surprise there. When I went to pick up Catherine's clothes for her first court appearance, they were smashed."

"That is extremely sad to hear about. Prehaps I should check in with the Council about local gems of supposed mystical power beyond my own. Thank you for your time." Soon, after a phone call to the Council, she gets someone who wants to talk about it in person at Piper's, of all places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Halliwell and company. There was a gem robberies lately, and I was wondering if there is anything supernatural about it. I heard of some gems with power, like the Silver Imperial Crystal and my own Godgem." To prove her point, she presents her left wrist with the normally invisible and intangible to non-mystics Godgem of Love to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I've sensed it being worn by a teenage boy with an Oriental girl at his side," Paige says. "Whitelighter senses?" Peggy asks as the phone rings. "I got it." "No," Paige replies.
