The rain slid easily down the groves and couture's of Batman's eccentric costume as he knelt high above Gotham's streets. He had been like this for nearly two hours, waiting for her to arrive. He knew she'd do this, she always did.
There were sirens far off in the distance, but it was nothing serious. His computer back at the Batcave was hacked into the G.C.P.D's, and would alert him if any big time criminals were on the prowl. With a grim smile he remembered that most of them were still at Arkham, safely away from the people of Gotham.
There. "Selina, what kept you," Batman asked right as Catwoman stepped out of the shadows behind him, silent as could be.
"You know me, handsome, always fashionably late," Catwoman laughed as she walked up behind Batman.
With one final look below him, Batman rose and turned around to take a look at his friend, and at times enemy. Lately she'd been very helpful and had remained out of much trouble. He wondered if that had anything to do with Talia leaving town a month back. "I don't have time for this, Selina, what's this important information you wanted me to hear about so badly?"
He knew that's why she had left a calling card at her last heist. Nothing the police could see, but to Batman it was clear she had purposefully set off the jewelry store alarm after she had taken a priceless emerald necklace with twelve impressive diamonds embedded into a satin choker. Much like a cat would wear as a collar. The secret safe the real necklace presided in at all times seemed untouched, while the fake's display case was smashed. The fake was still in the case when Batman arrived later to investigate, sensing it was the work of Catwoman, when he read the report his computer had sent him. His x-ray vision had confirmed that the real necklace was missing, so he had come here; their unofficial meeting spot.
"Tsk, tsk," Catwoman scolded, "I wasn't done flirting yet, but if you must know it's the Penguin."
"What about him Selina," Batman asked knocking her hand away from his chest, before she could try to distract him and take one of his tools.
"I'm not sure really, he's been trying to contract me a job," Selina said matter of factly. "I may take it," she said, "I've been too good lately and my acquired lifestyle is starting to pay for it." She would never work for the Penguin, she knew he knew that, Penguin was too dangerous, he didn't like many people knowing too much and a lot of people ended up dead after their job was done. She had come too close too many times and had learned her lesson.
"Cats and Birds don't play well together, Selina," Batman said as he turned around and jumped off the building.
"No, they don't," Selina said to herself as she watched Batman transition from a fall to a glide. "Still, this necklace should…., damn him, when did he take it," Selina growled as she made to reach for her new jewelry piece to discover it was gone. "You should be a cat burglar yourself, handsome; it would probably pay better." With that she took out her whip and began to fly, in her own way, across the rooftops of Gotham.
