A/N: This is written a lot differently than my other stories if you can tell! I FINALLY saw Man of Steel today and it convinced me to write another fic on my favorite pairing of Superman and Catwoman. This definitely won't be a one-shot. As always, the Catwoman I'm using is from TDKR and Superman from MOS. Enjoy :)
She's standing quietly towards the edge of a tall building in Gotham. It's nearly dawn and the sky is beautiful; brilliant orange with streaks of a sunny yellow. The sky is so breathtakingly gorgeous, that she almost forgets why she came here and whom she's waiting for. The sunrise almost makes Gotham look…peaceful. As if criminals didn't roam the streets at night, and she has to admit: She's going to miss this place.
"Are you leaving?" Catwoman doesn't turn to the sound of his voice, but a single tear slides down her pale cheek.
"I'm sorry," she whispers. The soft wind whips locks of her rich dark hair.
"Is this really what you want?" his voice is still deep, menacing, but she detects a hint of sadness.
"Yes," she answers softly. Then she turns to face him.
"It's nearly day Bruce. I have to leave now." He doesn't respond, and the only sound is his cape blowing gently in the wind.
"My stuff is packed. There's a taxi waiting for me." Still no response.
"It will take me to the airport, and from there I'll start anew."
"Where, Selina?" She looks up at him.
"You know I can't tell you that Bruce." She bites her red lips and forces herself not to cry. "I need to be separated," she begins hesitantly
"From me?" he asks sadly. Even beneath the cowl, she can see the hurt in his glassy green eyes.
"No," she says a little too quickly. "From everybody…the entire league…" she pauses and sighs deeply. "I just want to think about my own well-being for once. I don't want to be this person anymore." She gestures to her cat suit and mask.
Bruce can't believe what he's hearing, but lets her come clean.
"I don't want this for myself anymore. I thought I did, but…" She pauses again, swallowing the lump in her throat.
"I understand," the caped crusader replies in a choked voice. "We will miss you."
Selina bursts into hysterical laughter, which then turns to high giggles, sobbing, and eventually crying.
Bruce wraps her in a meaningful embrace, letting her cry into his shoulder.
"Don't tell the league I'm leaving," she says between sobs. "Promise me Bruce."
"I promise," he murmurs, fighting back tears of his own.
"I will miss them though. Wonder Woman, Superman…even The Flash. No matter how many times they've tried to throw me in jail." Selina pulls away and smiles sadly.
"Goodbye Bruce." His eyes are closed, and he's trying to savor her sweet voice. When he slowly opens them, she's gone.
A/N: Short, I know, but these next chapters will be a lot longer than usual (I hope) Well please leave your thoughts!
