It was a dark midnight at the Jump City prison. Every cell was quiet, with one exception: Kitten's. She growled as she paced around her cell, yanking her hair so hard that she would be bald at any minute.
"HE DUMPED ME! HE DUMPED ME! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DUMPED ME! WELL HE'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT! HE'S GOING TO-!"
"Shut up already!" Said one inmate, "I'm tryin' to sleep here!"
But Kitten didn't shut up. Instead, she threw herself onto the bed and started crying her eyes out, pausing only when a soft, seductive voice asked...
"What's wrong little one?"
Without so much as looking at the beautiful dark figure, Kitten told her all about it.
"ALL I DID WAS ASK ROBBY-POO TO THE PROM, AND THEN HE DIDN'T WANNA KISS ME, AND THEN HE DUMPED ME!"
After that, Kitten cried harder than ever on her pillow. The mysterious woman looked down at her and smiled as she sat down next to her.
"Oh no. He dumped you? How cruel! But don't cry, little one. I can help you. By the time I'm through with this 'Robby-poo' or whatever he's called, he will NEVER dump you again." She leaned forward and whispered, "EVER."
Kitten was ecstatic at that point.
"REALLY?? YOU'LL REALLY DO THAT FOR ME??"
The woman nodded.
"But of course. I can give you things that no mortal has ever DREAMED of having. But my help comes at a price."
"ANYTHING! ANYTHING!" Kitten's demeanor was both ecstatic and desperate now. "Homecoming's tonight and I'll give ANYTHING if Robby-poo takes me!"
The woman smiled mischievously. This was just what she wanted.
"I'm glad to hear that. You see, I need a certain item." She swirled her hand on the floor, and a swirl of black smoke formed, showing an image of a black jewel. The woman pointed to it. "That is the item. I last saw it in what you mortals call the museum. If you can get it for me, I will help you with your situation. If not, I will not help."
Kitten looked worried, but then she remembered how Robin dumped her and nodded angrily.
"Yes! YES! I'll do it!" She then paused. "But before I get this thing for you, who are you?"
The woman was somewhat surprised at the question, but nonetheless answered.
"I am not frequently asked my name, but I suppose you should know for the sake of our little deal. I am Hekata. Everything else you wish to know will be revealed in time. But enough about that. You must not forget the task before you."
"I didn't." Kitten looked at the jewel. "But, how do I get THERE from HERE?"
"I see. Well I can fix THAT." She pointed to the wall, and a swirl of black smoke appeared there. "That portal will lead you to where the item is kept. Seek it out and bring it to me when you have it."
Kitten nodded. "I will!" She entered the portal and, several hours later, she returned. Hekata, having gotten a bit impatient, saw as she entered.
"WELL?? WHERE IS IT?!"
"Right here." Kitten threw it to Hekata, who easily caught it. Hekata cackled.
"YESS! THE STONE OF NIGHT! WITH THIS I NEED NOT FEAR MORNING! EXCELLENT!"
Kitten tapped her foot.
"OK OK I got your rock. Now WHAT ABOUT ME?!?"
"Oh but of course." She chanted a mysterious spell, causing a black vial to appear in her hand. Delicately placing it in her pouch, Hekata formed another portal, through which they escaped to an old apartment. Hekata looked to Kitten.
"Bring this 'Robby-poo' here ..." She smiled at the vial. "...And I will take care of the rest."
