AN: So I love the Dark Knight Rises and the characters of Bane and Selina so I decided to do a drabble series which will just be a bunch of different moments between them. I will probably do the same for Bruce and Selina as well.
It was the eyes that always frightened her more than anything else. Bottomless pits void of any sort of emotion and they could see right through you. Most people were intimidated by the mask, but not Selina; she had grown up in a world where everyone wore masks in one way or another. It was the only way to survive these days, especially in a city like Gotham. Selina herself had adopted her own mask to ensure her survival so unlike other people they did not scare her. The female thief wasn't easily frightened by anything really, not even the batman, but with Bane it was different. One look at him, at his eyes, and she knew he was not like everyone else in this city.
Rumors had been going around for weeks about a new player in town, but she never really paid it much attention since new criminals were always coming and going as they tried to make a mark. There were rare occasions when someone actually did leave and impression, but the last person to pull off such a feat had been the Joker and everyone knew what had happened to him. Ever since then things had actually been pretty quiet. Selina had known it wouldn't last and so when Bane finally made his presence known, she was not at all surprised. Her plan had been to avoid him and continue on with her personal mission of a fresh start, but nothing was ever that simple.
It started when the batman had saved her on the rooftop. She had been out numbered, but it wouldn't have been the first time or the last something like that happened. The bat acted as if she needed his help, but he really didn't know her if he ever thought she would admit to that. She could take care of herself, she always had. It was when she actually started having fun that Bane made his entrance to the rooftop and it was the first time Catwoman actually accepted help from someone else, the first time she ran from a fight leaving no determined winner. She couldn't explain why she had run then, but later on she realized it was his eyes. When his gaze landed on her, a cool chill slid down the length of her body and she knew then and there this was only just the beginning.
The End.
