Before Berg Katze went to fight OD Hajime asks him if later they can meet up
somewhere. after everything has clamed down Berg Katze is trying to stir up
trouble by shape shifting and attempting to get people to turn on each other
using the Crowds however after that fails be leaves disappointed.

After that Hajime is seen waiting for him where they agreed to meet before
calling her mother, during which the scene is focused on her chest.

After the credits when Hajime goes to leave there are shots focusing on her
chest with sometimes tapping/pointing to herself. as she walks out she is
announcing her plans before we hear Berg Katze reply acting all negative about
it by saying it'll suck.

[This answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/5360/1587) confirms that is it
Berg Katze that Hajime is talking to but I am wondering, what happened to him
which cased him to now be with Hajime like this?

What happened to Berg Katze?


TL;DR: Berg Katze's note (and himself) was absorbed into Hajime. He is
currently trapped and powerless inside her "chest". Your confusion stems from
the fact that the scene never made it to the TV series.

* * *

Episode 12 has two versions. There is a "director's cut" version that was
shipped as an OVA, showing the confrontation between Hajime and Katze, when
she gains control of Katze's golden note (I did not watch it).

From
[wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gatchaman_Crowds_episodes):

> `OVA "Embrace" January 22, 2014`  
>  Director's cut of episode 12. Scenes about the civilians and the Crowds are

Alas, Katze is not that powerless, since it seems he can take over Hajime's
Gatchaman form:

Again [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatchaman_Crowds#Characters):

> Her original NOTE and Gatchaman form takes on red accents after fusing with
> Katze, and her Gatchaman form's face switches from blue eyes to a red smile
> when Katze is in command.

IMO, it was a bad choice to leave Hajime's showdown to the OVA (even if it was
financially good for them), since it is important to the Crowds-Insight plot.
