"Chapter 1 - The Bat Meets the Cat

It's a cold, dark night on the streets of Gotham City. Every nook and cranny was like a corner of sleaze, corruption, and downwards morality. Policemen were taking bribes from mobsters, innocent punks being beaten, and homeless folks begged for hope only to be given jack. The kids down these streets told of an urban legend pertaining to a creature who kidnaps criminals called the Batman. According to the folklore, Batman was a hideous, giant at around 6'7 with red eyes and razor sharp claws. Of course though the mere idea that something fantastical would exist within this city pushed the morbid curiosity of others.

Enter the Catwoman, a.k.a Selina Kyle, a young femme fatale cat burglar. With a bullwhip at her side and a body to drive even the dullest of men wild, she climbed up the walls of an apartment building that belonged to crime boss, Rupert Thorne. She lashed her way around a gargoyle and up the side of window where she eyed her sights inside upon a vault.

"Purrrrfect," she muttered to herself.

Of course, being a thief for five years had its downs. That much time doing the same old A to B schtick and escaping from the cops wore on her. She wanted something new, a routine that was both thrilling and different. This was why she chose to rob mob bosses in the hopes of finding some new strange. Also having heard about the Batman in the papers only seemed to make her even more curious. In fact the real reason she chose this spot was so that maybe his attention could be drawn out to her. Of course, this was her best guess based upon descriptions people gave about the tall man.

"Hopefully this will get the Bat to show up," she said while unlocking the window with her claws.

The slick burglar sneaked her way through the office and cracked the whip at a video camera to stop any surveillance that would blow her cover. Though getting caught just meant another chase for her to gleefully partake in.

"Well what do we have here?" Catwoman took notice of a video screen. "Looks like ol' Johnny Law here is hitting one up. Lucky bastard."

She noticed that the monitor showed a cop secretly buying off cocaine from one of Thorne's men in an alleyway. As much as she detested dirty policemen, Catwoman still enjoyed watching them assuring her that she at least is honest about walking the line while these men were walking, talking double standards. Suddenly the video went static for a minute before cutting back showing no one in the alleyway. Catwoman then went back to finding the safe, thinking that the show is over.

"Meow," uttered the thief when the giant safe caught her eye. Selina slumped her ear towards the door as she turned the knob listening in on the code before it opened. Inside were four g's, some golden rings, and a couple of necklaces. She purred in delight as she quickly stuffed them all into her bag. All of a sudden, the door slowly opened, forcing her to hide. Selina looked up only to see the policeman from before pinned to wall in the shape of a bat and tape gagging his mouth.

"Not so tough, are ya, drugie?" she giggled.

As she walked out the door, Selina felt a pair of eyes looking at her from the back of her head. She looked around and her face began to glow with a smile at who was there.

"Batman?"

And sure enough, there was the Dark Knight. He stood in the hallway looking at her from afar with a creepy glare. Though the scariness only made her more excited to finally see this urban legend in the flesh.

"So?" she spoke as she took out her 9 inch black whip. "You do exist. I knew that our paths would have crossed eventually. Just wasn't prepared for how dreamy you are."

He only stood there towering over her. His face remained stoic as his eyes just kept staring at her. Catwoman took a couple of steps closer.

"Awww what's the matter, Tall Man? Cat got your tongue? Or are you just happy to see me?" she teased him as she moved her finger around his chest.

Claws began to spring out from his gloved fingers indicating the combat ready to begin. Selina however widened her eyes and ran like hell away from him. The chase was on as she ran from rooftop to rooftop, trying to escape from the vigilante. It was almost like a scene from a horror movie as he was nowhere to be seen. Yet the mysterious aspect made her blood bump more with adrenaline.

She stopped to take a breather along with looking over her shoulder. Nobody was there behind her, giving her the sneaking suspicion of where he was. Because there was no way in hell that a guy like him could give up the pursuit. Selina sooned jumped a bit as he was now suddenly behind her.

"Ah! Jesus!" she screamed.

Catwoman cracked her whip, hitting Batman on the chest. However he just stood there without yelping in pain. Confused, she lashed him again, no effect. He walked towards her and gave him four more lashes with the last one on his face. Now she was worried as he was immune to the pain to the point of almost enjoying it.

"Alright, then. You wanna play dirty, bad boy?" she drew her claws. "Then let's dance!"

She tried to scratch him, but missed and the last one was blocked off by his hand. Selina stepslided to strike him in the stomach, but Batman grabbed her fist in time and throws her around him. Catwoman takes the advantage to keep holding on and spin back with her back to his body.

She purred in his face, "Damn, boy. You know how to treat a girl on a first date."

Selina tried to elbow him in the jaw, only to miss and for the Dark Knight to grab the bag of stolen goods with his batclaw. Catwoman ran towards him to get it back. She threw a cross and a hook only to miss. An attempt to grab him on the ears and kick him resulted in his arms blocking her knee and flipping her in the air. He stopped her from hitting the ground. Catwoman's arms were now around his neck as a weird sort of attraction was now felt between the two.

"Awwww, Batsy saved me from a nasty boo boo. Tell me, do you like me?" she teased.

His eyes widened, knowing that she hit a spot within him. The truth was that he found her to be very beautiful, yet her status as a thief-like nature made him scared to trust her. Although he couldn't bring himself to be on her bad side.

"Though your actions have so far been shady," he spoke in a calm, yet frightening voice. "I wouldn't go so far as to hit a lady."

Catwoman meowed in an almost romantic delight. She used her prowess to tease the bejesus out of him. Now she was whispering in his ear.

"I knew you had a soft spot for me. Which is good because I like you too, Handsome."

She stroked his muscular bicep armor as she seduced him. His only response was the breathing, which she took as pleasure.

"I know what you're thinking: I'm a thief and that's why you're hesitating. Well no matter how you splice it, we're both outlaws, Batman," she walked around him and put her arms around his chest.

"Animals of the night that walk outside the law to do what they believe is right. Granted I used to steal jewels, but my stealing can be used for stuff like criminal information or whereabouts for you. So what do you say?" she was now close to his cheek.

Batman's eyes were closed trying to respond to what she's saying. Visions of a giant bat flashed back and forth within his brain, giving him a disapproving look. Something was eating at his conscious and desire.

"I'm waiting, Stud," she began licking his face.

The smooth pleasure was now screwing with his thinking. Yet he didn't possess the urge to make her stop as if everything stopped for a moment for the feeling of exquisite stimulation. Before he could muster up an answer, police forces broke through the door of the rooftop with guns aimed at them.

"Freeze! Hands where I can see them!" shouted the Lead Cop.

Batman grabbed Catwoman and threw a smoke bomb to disorient the police. He then took her to safety in an alleyway away from the rooftop. The dark knight stopped for a second to get his head straight.

"I'll think about what you said. But right now I-"

He was cut off by Catwoman who gave him a kiss on the lips. She then turned around, amazed by what Batman did.

"Now you understand, my hero? We're the same! You and I don't do cops, we seek all sorts of danger and live for the night! I mean I tell you, Batsy, you're more exciting than any hei- "

She stopped herself once she saw that the Dark Knight was no longer there. Catwoman looked up at where the cape line was before it vanished as a deviant smirk was now on her face.

"I will find you, Dark Knight. And you will be mine."
