It only took her 20 minutes to get in and out of there, and she was a little disappointed after all that hard work she put in learning the laid out of the whole complex of apartments, and the only thing that she had to do was walked to it, disabled a pretty basic security system and the prize was hers, if it wasn't for the fact that the diamond was a beauty this whole thing would been a complete waste of time
After getting what she wanted and spending a little bit of time to see if that rich family had any other thing that might interest her, she climbed out of the same window that she had used to entered the place, but when she was about to head home a voice behind her said with a some what metallic tone
"Were you going with that?"
"Mmm… nowhere"
She said as she turned around expecting to see Batman, but instead she found herself face to face with the new face of the city the Red Hood, she had heard the rumors about him a new vigilante that rarely if ever pulled his punches, good enough to even give Nigtwing a run for his money
He was just there sitting in the edge of the roof with a gun in one hand as if he had been waiting there all this time
"Sorry do I know you?"
"No, I'm new in town"
"Well I'd love to give you a tour of the city but I'm a bit late for my bed time"
And with that she jump to a nearby rooftop and start running, but using his higher position and an awesome display of acrobatic prowess he manage to land in front of her
"Look, kid don't you know that stalking is a crime?"
"Said the cat burglar, now give me the diamond and we can pretend that this never happen"
"Sorry I've already have plans for it"
And with that she unwrap here whip from here waist and attack him
Managing to capture the hand that had the gun in, she pulled him in to tried and disarm him, but he quickly threw the gun at his free hand and shot a bullet at her feet making her back down a bit, seizing that opening, he launch forward to try and take the satchel that had the diamond, but instead he was meet with a kick to the abdomen
"Didn't you're mother ever told you not to peek inside a lady's purse?"
"No, she wasn't the type to teach life lesson" he said as he laid face down in the floor trying to regain his footing
As the Red Hood was getting back at his feet, something came to her mind, a memory of a young kid in green, red and yellow trying to keep up with her and Batman in one of their many "dates"
The true was that even if Batman never came out and said it she knew that the robin that night wasn't the same as always, she always thought of the original one as a born showman always trying his best to show off his abilities, but the one that night was a whole other story every movement had the explicit purpose of getting him from point A to point B as fast as possible
She only saw that Robin two more times after that and next time that she saw Batman something seemed different in him, and even though she never asked she knew that something very bad had happened
But suddenly something snap her out of her travel through memory lane
"Hey keep your head in the game"
When she heard that and came back to the present she found herself surrounded by a small army of a private Security Company
"Friends of yours"
"No, I think they are here for you"
As the new group of people slowly approached the two one of them spoke
"I don't know what you took from Mr. Alexander's home but I'd advice you to give it back NOW"
"You know what Catwoman; I think that you should listen to what the gentleman is saying"
"What don't tell me that you're afraid of a couple of them?"
"A couple no, a dozen of them maybe"
"Ok… to hell with this, kill them both"
And with that simple order, the group opened fire on them
"LOOK OUT"
The Red Hood tackled Catwoman to the ground trying to shield her from the initial barrage of bullets
"It looks like we may need to put our difference aside if we want to get out of this alive"
"Agreed, so how do you want to do this"
"Don't get shot"
"Hmp you must be a master tactician"
And with that both of them jump in different directions trying to stay always on the move, as the Red Hood had said before, there were twelve man dress in black suits carrying heavy weaponry, and the men themselves weren't your typical run of the mill leg breaker, or retired cops but highly train soldiers
even though it didn't looked like it their black suit was bullet proof that made them very difficult to take out with her very limited arsenal so she started to looked for a opening to try and make a run for it, and when she saw at the place were the Red Hood was fighting with his half of them she couldn't believe what she saw
Two of them were completely out, maybe death and he was going fore the third one, their was something familiar on the way he fight, because of the small distraction one of the men that she had disarmed manage to grab her in a chokehold but before he had the opportunity to finish her
"You do like to space out a lot, you know that" saying that the Red Hood shot the man right in the center of his face killing him in the instant
"Thanks for that"
After a couple of minutes more, both of them had manage to take out all of them and the only one that was left was the boss
As the last man leap at them Catwoman grab her whip and manage tie it up around the man neck and the Red Hood knee him in the back of the head rendering him unconscious
"Well that was fun" he said, as he return the satchel that she had loose at some point during the fight
"Yeah, fun" she said as she grabbed it, and make her way to the edge of the roof "but unfortunately I've had to go now bye"
"Yhea, see you around"
When he said that she pause for a minute because she was convince that he was going to try to get the diamond back, but decide to just ignore that and leave
Half and hour later she manage to get back to her apartment, and getting ride of everything that she had on decide to take a look at her loot, but the satchel was empty
"Hmp… well play"
