AN : Just a small case of wild-running imagination. I love bad-ass Damon and I love Katherine (I hope she doesn't die...) What if Katherine found him first ? What if they shared a common interest ? Enjoy.
Obvious disclaimer to all but the situation. Not sure where the canon story is going, but it sure gets twists and turns, a true fanfiction-fodder fest.

Spite & mercy
Damon gritted his teeth in finding the brunette girl, calmly sitting in the one chair in his motel room.
« I'm just curious, Damon. How brilliant are you feeling right now ?
-You shouldn't be here, Elena.
-I'll give you a hint. Wrong doppelganger. And for some time too.
-Katherine » he spat.
She fake-clapped him.
« And he gets it now ! How brilliant are you feeling right now ?
-I'm feeling pretty good. I'll feel even better when you're gone.
-Been there, she sighed. How empowered do you think I feel to know that you didn't recognize my style beneath dearest Elena's words ? »
Damon squared his jaw.
« Another hint : Elena was not talking at the time. So this... » she motioned to all of him « this, your brilliant attempt at spiting her...it's just pointless. This is me spiting you.
-I will kill you, he swore.
-Oh, please. You obviously can't without sending Elena out with me. »
Damon grabbed her throat.
« What do you want, Katherine ?
-I want my body back. It gets too easy playing all of you...
-I want you dead. »
Katherine smirked.
« Oh, my God. Would you look at that. We do share a common interest, Salvatore. »
Damon stepped away reluctantly.
« Why did you come here ? Why come to me ?
-Because...going full-on revenge after genuine heartbreak may have a certain flare to it...but since the heartbreak was piped die, you're just pathetic, you know that, right ? »
Katherine pulled away from his grasp, stepping around him.
« Well ? We have some body-snatching to do. »
Katherine had already opened the door when Damon fully realized what just happened. Holy crap, Katherine had just brought him back.
