SCORN REBORN by Heaven O. Waits
Prelude
Cat woman and Batman have hit it off. They both revealed their identities and that they loved on another. Cat woman fell for the Gotham playboy's charms but finds just how sincere he really is. Now she's back with a vengeance. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Cat woman's rampage to destroy Batman and Bruce is underway along with the aid of her old pals Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn.
"There, there dear. Drink some chamomile tea to settle your nerves." Ivy whispered handing me the tiny cup and saucer.
"I told you so!" " But,You could still take him back" Harley says with a shrug.
I roll my eyes at her. "I will not!" I scream.
"I get treated like shit but always go back to my Mr. J." she nods "Well I am not putting up with a man walking all over me. I plan on walking all over him. Dead or alive! I scream slamming the tea cup down on its saucer.
"Now your talking!" Harley laughs.
"With him out of the way, dear ,Gotham can be ours. It really should be run by women you know." Poison says in delight.
Harley nods making a sound of tiny sleigh bells.
"Yeah and I bet Mr. J will help." she adds.
"We don't need a man's help!" I hiss.
"So what's the plan?" they ask leaning forward on my couch giggling.
My head spins back to the days events recalling the last time I had seen Bruce.
Everything has seemed so perfect. Our relationship had grown stronger over time. We were usually together at night flipping back at forth from the manor to my loft. I decided to make an unexpected visit to Wayne Enterprises.
I had some news and needed to surprise him in person. The moment I stepped inside I knew something was odd . I wasn't greeted at the reception desk. Phones were ringing off the hook. I went straight to his office and opened the door. What I saw made me furious. I spotted old Brucie dipping his pen in the company ink.
She must have been 19, 21 tops. They were on top of his desk humping like rabbits. I have to admit he did have wonderful form. He actually told me to chill out. As if my emotions were uncalled for. If it wasn't for my secret. I would have beaten them near death .
The secret I had planned on telling him was that we were pregnant. Now I don't know what I am going to do. Perhaps I should tell my girlfriends but for now I just need some time. I picture a caveman in my head. Men, they still drag their knuckles. The girls stare at my fit of laughter wide-eyed.
So now I am alone again. Once the smolder clears men's heads they will return to their usual ways. Mostly it is convenience. I know most affairs are from the lack of energy needed to pursue. I don't love him any more. I loathe him! Hurt is a feeling I am used to. If not formy pain I would never really feel as deeply. I would just be.
I snap back into reality and focus on revenge.
"My plan is first to obliterate his hideout, next his closest friends , the women he fondles and finally him by slow painful torture.
"delightful!" Poison Ivy says.
"Dang girl. You are pissed!" Harley says sweeping her head side to side with a snap of a finger.
I look at them and tighten my lip. I don't laugh. They close their mouths and quickly grab their teas and stare off into space.
