The city of New Gotham was very dark and dreary on this early summer night. As any smart Gothamite could advise you, it was terribly foolish to bask in the city during the night, even if it was summertime. But now, at the unreasonable hour of three o' clock in the morning, New Gotham had resembled a ghost town. At around one, the nightlife started to die down, because many feared the threat of losing their lives via robbery, or just being caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. But, there were also others who took chances and dared the night. That person was an unknown woman who challenged the shadows of New Gotham.
This woman raced the rooftops of downtown New Gotham, and made an inhuman leap from one fire escape to a neighboring rooftop. Her footsteps echoed through the night as her swiftness and grace ravaged the heat and wind. Her body was very curvaceous and she was wonderfully slinky. This woman wore a skintight leather outfit that clothed her entire body, and it made gentle sounds of stretching as the woman in leather jumped from rooftop to the next one. Surprisingly, she had on a mask that had a feline-esque pair of ears atop of it, but her beautiful emerald eyes glimmered in the little light that New Gotham had provided. Apparently she had just made her way to her final destination; GALES Jewelry Store.
Looking through the storefront with childlike giddiness as diamonds and necklaces sparkled in her eyes; the mysterious woman placed her gloved hand to the glass front, and surprisingly unearthed talons. Heading to the door, the girl used her talon to open the door like a key. Fortunately for her, some idiot forgot to turn on the security alarm and she walked in freely. Quickly, she broke various glass protectors and stole the jewelry and placed them into a loot bag of hers. Once she was satisfied, she left by climbing to the ceiling and exiting the rooftop. But what the cat burglar did not expect was that there was someone waiting for her on the roof of the jewelry store.
"Hey sweetie, did anyone tell you how played out the whole cat motif is, nowadays?" a familiar voice called. Clad in her leather outfit and jacket, with the beautiful short haircut and earpiece. The cat burglar smiled as she stood and watched the girl.
"Ha, so finally we come face to face. Please tell me you're the Huntress, this whole city has been raving about?" the cat burglar questioned.
"Well you've robbed the right jewelry store these past few weeks, so yeah. It took some time but I caught the cat before you came too far out the bag." Huntress said getting a bit closer to the cat burglar.
"Oh no, but kitty, kitty wants to play. Show me what you're made of Huntress." The cat burglar said as she got into a fighting stance. Huntress gave an almost blank glare as she stared at her opponent.
"She looks just like those old pictures of my mother." Huntress whispered into the earpiece. As anyone would know, the one on the other end of the receiver was Huntress' close confidant and mentor, the Oracle.
"Just keep your guard up, and be serious. We don't know what kind of skill she possesses." Oracle said as Huntress took what she said under consideration. Ready to fight, Huntress was shocked to see that the cat burglar's eyes began to morph into those of cat's-eyes. Huntress rolled her eyes.
"Hmm, a metahuman too? This should be fun…" Huntress said as she also made the switch to tap into her Metahuman powers as well. Officially the fight was on.
The cat burglar ran and slapped Huntress with a jumping kick, but Huntress shook off the attack and landed one of her own's causing the cat burglar to fall backwards. The cat burglar laughed and clutched Huntress' forearm, and began to bash her repeatedly in her face, causing some blood to flow from the side of Huntress' mouth. The cat burglar laughed and licked the blood from Huntress mouth very sensually, but this enraged the crime fighter.
Using her swiftness, Huntress grabbed the cat burglar and threw her with great force unto the ground, but the cat burglar surprisingly landed on all fours. Huntress was looked at her in awe, but snapped out, and spun around and went to kick the cat burglar but the opponent evaded the attack and swiped Huntress with her whip making her fall downward into a very smelly and clotted dumpster in an alley. Looking down on her, the cat burglar smiled and laughed heartily.
"Kitty had fun tonight. Catch you later!" the cat burglar laughed as she fled the scene. Huntress who was busy getting eggshells from her hair, was disgusted by the dumpster and simply muttered out,
"That bitch."
