Chapter 1

Author's Note: This story is based off of Batman Arkham City. I obviously don't own the characters or anything DC related.

Selina had over 10 cats. No one knows how she kept their names straight. Thankfully she was still able to clean up their messes somewhat well, preventing her apartment from smelling as bad as a regular cat-lady. But she still had a messing place. Most of it was her own mess, but she didn't care. She wasn't one for bringing guys home. In fact she wasn't one for hooking up with guys period. For one, her place was located in Arkham City, so the only guys around were disgusting pigs. And Two she too busy sleeping all day, and doing illegal things all night. Well sometimes she helped out Batman when there was something in it for her.

"Maybe i should get a boyfriend." She thought to herself. "Maybe even a girlfriend." She thought raising an eyebrow. She had been thinking about experimenting with her bisexuality to see if she liked girls. "Maybe Ivy, or Harley is up for something crazy and fun. But then again Ivy would probably make me itch for a year. And Harley, well even if i wanted too she'd never cheat on her disgusting boyfriend." She thought the herself. But she knew the real reason why she wasn't hooking up with anyone. She had a huge crush on Batman. Mr. Dark, Handsome and Brooding. That's what she called him sometimes. Her feelings for him were the real reason she never sought out a relationship. No matter how much she deny'ed that being the case, she secretly wanted desperately to be with him.

As soon as the sun had gone down and the moon had gone up, darkness surrounded the streets of Arkham city. Selina eagerly put on her Catsuit. "Time to go to work." She said as she petted a couple of her cats goodbye. She left her place and headed to the courthouse, Harvey Dent (Two- Face), had something she was interested in. She got what she was looking for, but Two-Face caught her. She was tied up and left hanging upside down, over a vat of acid. "If it wasn't for Batman she would of been dead, or forced to do something very gross with Harvey or his gang. She didn't even want to think about it.

She and Bruce had one of their many flirtatious conversations after he saved her. She enjoyed dropping hints and teasing the big bad bat with her sexy long strut. Also keeping her suit a little unzipped to show off a little cleavage was another on of her tactics. It served 2 purposes. One, distract the bad guys and two, get Batman to notice to notice you a little more. She caught him staring quite a few times. Out of no where Bruce grabbed her by both of her arms tightly and pulled her towards him and pushed her up against the wall. It took her a second to realize he was saying her from being sniped. That's 2 back to back times he saved her.

"This place is dangerous. I like it." She said to him. He still held on to her arms. "Expecting a kiss?" she asked. In all honesty, she wanted to plant one on his lips but that would be the end of their relationship. She don't think he was that into her. Batman insisted it wasn't safe for her in Arkham City, she ignored him and continued on her way.

She got herself into some more trouble as the night went on. Eventually, she decided that maybe Bruce was right and it was time to leave Arkham city, she just needed to grab some of her things first. She went to her apartment, she wasn't one for using doors so she used the window. As soon as she opened it up, her apartment exploded. The blast sent Selina flying onto her back. She pit the ground hard and lost consciousness.

Four of Two-Face's goons approached her body. "Is she dead?" One of the guys asked. "I don't know." The other one answered. "Nah, she's still breathing." the third one answered. "Well, let's have some fun with her." The 4th one suggested. "That's what i'm talking about." Another one agreed. The started undoing their pants when Batman came in. He brutally beat the crap out of these guys. He then wrapped his arms around Selina's body.

She slowly opened her eyes and let out a soft groan. "What happened?" She asked. "The blast, it knocked you out. You're safe now." Batman explained. She looked up at the burning building. She pushed Batman off of her and took a couple steps towards the building. She covered her face with her hands, dropped to her knees, and broke down in tears. "He killed them all." She cried. Bruce knew Selina cared a lot about her cats. He knew this was tough for her.

She removed her hands from her face. Her tears had caused her mascara to smear a little. "Two-Face... I'm going to kill that bastard." She growled. She got up and walked past Batman. He grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Wait." He said. She pushed him away. "Don't try and stop me." She said as she took off running, Bruce chased after her.

He tackled her. "Killing is not the answer to this." She was able to get him off her. She turned away from him. She crossed her arms and tried to hold back her tears. "That monster took my home and my cats." She sobbed. Bruce walked up behind her. He pressed his chest against her back. He wrapped his left arm around her body and tightly gripped her shoulder with his right hand. "I'm sorry Selina." He said softly.

"Don't deny me this." She pleaded. "I can't let you do this. You're not a killer." He said. "He's a disgusting mound of filth that has killed dozens of people. What do you care, if i kill him or not?" She asked as turned around and looked at him. "If you kill a killer, the amount of killers stay the same." Bruce said. She rest her head against his chest and broke down in tears. He held her in his arms tenderly. "It's okay Selina. I'm here for you." He said softly. She looked up at him and just went for it.

She pressed her lips gently against his and kissed him. He kissed her back. He too had been hiding strong feelings for her. She pulled her lips away from his. "I'm sorry i shouldn't have done that." She said. He placed his finger on her chin. "Don't be sorry." He said. "I know this might sound desperate, but can i stay with you for a while? I don't have a placed of my own." She asked. "I have someplace you can stay." he said.

She smiled and kissed him again. "Thank you." She said softly. "Let's get you out of this city." He said. "I couldn't agree more." She said, as Bruce picked her up and carried her to the car.
