Chapter 1: You Must Wait

As I walk down the street I hear people who walk past me and they point out "Hey she looks like her."

When they say that they are pointing at the newspaper. They do not know who I am or the fact that I can hear them but I can. I just keep on walking and smile to myself thinking "I am that person in the paper."

I walk past the newsstand a buy a paper to look at. I smile to myself even more to see me front cover with a big wanted slapped across my face. The whole thing is that no one will ever catch me. I am too fast and if they catch me I am to smart to escape. For I am the heir to Catwoman. Or should I say that I took her job. She is, well lets just say, retired. For she was getting way to cocky with who I chose to be my boyfriend. My boyfriend is Batman and I know who he is but he does not know who I am. Keep your friends close and your enemies' closer right?

Well you see I know what I am doing and I will not get caught. People may tell me that they will and that I will not get to keep going on with this but they are wrong. As I read the paper there is my boyfriend. I roll my eyes. I decide to go down an alley and meet my pets. My cats. They are waiting for me. As I walk down the alley all of them come out of hiding and they follow me to my hideout. Going in I find my thrown and sit down. All my pets have their own seat that they go and sit in. "What are you going to do about that? We already know," Spynx tell me.

Yes I can talk to cats and they understand me. "I don't know," I say as I read the paper about my boyfriend. "You know what he is saying? He is saying that he wants to marry me."

I start to think about what I will do. "I know this is purrfect."

I immediately get up and walk to the window. Looking out of it an evil smile crosses my face. Thinking of what to do is easy. I am a genius and that is why I got rid of the old Catwoman. "You know that he knows that I am new. He knows that the old Catwoman is dead and gone. He told me himself. He showed me the scratches that were left all over his chest. That was fun to do you know."

"You need to be more careful. You will get caught and you are getting to over confident and cocky," Storm tells me.

Storm is a large gray cat like clouds of a storm with white eyes. "Storm you need to relax. This will all be fine. I know what I am doing."

"You don't understand you are still young. You just got your abilities 3 years ago. That is a kitten, and you killed your mentor. Its happens to all mentors except for the great ones, like we thought she was. You need to know that all of us here have been in your situation at one time or another. You need to think more. Slow down and maybe disappear for a while," the elder cat Moonstone tells me.

I just freeze and think. "You mean you thought she was one of the greats? What do you mean she was? She was so easy to kill. I can't believe that you thought she was one of the greats. I just want to say that you can't be serious. This is crazy. I know what I am doing and I am being careful. I am being as careful as I can be and that is all that there is to it. I know that it may seem that I am not but I am." I just turn around and start to get mad. "Maybe if you don't let me stay here is would be able to do more. I can get closer to that bat and squeeze the life out of him. He is already my mouse and I am his killer. He is wounded and weak. Just let me kill him."

"No the time is not right for him to die yet."

I get down on my knees and bow my head in respect. "I am sorry for acting how I did. I will not do it again. I will wait until I have your blessing."

"Good now that you know your place you do what we tell you too and that's it. If he comes to you and ask you to marry him you will do so. You understand?" I nod my head. "Very good," Moonstone says as she leaves.

When she leaves I slowly get up and the rest of the elders leave. As for the rest of my pets they go off and do what they want in the hideout. I walk over to my throne and sit down thinking. 'I must get rid of Moonstone. She is pulling me down and not letting me show my full potential. Simon my loyal friend please come' here."

An old orange tabby walks up to me slowly. He looks up at me. I smile and pick him up. "And how are you Simon?"

"What do you think Luna? I'm old that's all there is to it."

"Right I'm sorry."

Simon just lays there in my lap as I pet him thinking. "You know Luna you need to watch what you say around them. They are the elders and they have a say over what you do. You should be careful."

"I know I know. You know how I am about being told to stay. Especially now. Look outside its night and a full moon. My time. That's why my name is Luna. It means moon. I am a daughter of the moon and I feel a connection to it."

"Luna we all fell a connection to the moon. The moon if part of all the creatures who love the night. That is why you are Luna. You are part of the moon. I'm sorry I would let you out now but look. He is out."

I look and see Batman running around over rooftops and I look at the moon to see his calling on the moon. "My moon. Every time they shine that light there an anger wells up inside of me. I want to just go there and destroy that thing. They are taking up my moon."

Simon carefully jumps up and looks at me. "Calm down daughter. You need to calm down. Don't let your anger overtake you. That is one of your problems. You give into your anger. Trust me you need to know when to stop and calm down. Come have some cream with me," he says as he walks away to the kitchen.

I follow and get some cream for us. I slowly drink it looking out at the sky. I take a deep breath and decide to go outside. To go home to Batman. "Come on Simon lets go. Time to go home. GOODBYE MY LOVES," I yell as I leave carrying Simon. Closing the door I turn around and take a deep breathe "Ah the fresh air."

I slowly walk home Simon behind me. When I get home he goes to his throne and plays with the catnip. I resist going to get some and hear Bruce come home. I smile and go upstairs and get ready for him. It's our anniversary tonight and I have a plan for him. I go to the bedroom and get things ready. I let my hair down that is black as night and is short about shoulder length and is layered. Slowly I get undressed and my nice tan skin is showing. I go into the bathroom and go to get in the shower. My present for Bruce is sitting on the bathroom on the counter. I hear him come into the bedroom. "Luna you in the shower," he calls to me.

"Yes honey I will be out soon."

I get out of the shower the steam from the hot water pouring off my body like a waterfall. I step out and dry off and change in to the present for Bruce. When I walk out he stops what he is doing and just stares. I have on a little black leather piece of lingerie on. "Welcome home honey."

I walk over to him and pick up the champagne and go and sit next to him. "You look great Luna."

"Why thank you honey," I say and smile and kiss him.

He kisses me back and wraps his arms around me pulling me close. I keep kissing back. Soon he picks me up and lays me on the bed kissing me.
