Black Bird's POV

Catwoman and I were leaping from one building to another, occasionally suing our grappling hooks to aid us. Tonight's the night I finally get to help Catwoman! I thought excitedly. I new the risk of course, and I knew that Catwoman usually got caught by Batman. Oh well, she really loved the thrill of all the action I guess. Dear God, I really hope they don't kiss! I grimaced at the thought. Catwoman stopped on top of one of the buildings.

"We're here Birdie!" She flashed me a quick smile before going into complete stealth mode. I watched silently as she found a hatch to unlock. When it was opened, she attached her whip to a metal beam on the ceiling, and lowered herself down, slowly and cautiously, using an extender on her whip. When she reached the floor, she silently let go of the whip, and gestured for me to come down. Smiling, I slid down the whip, and landed quietly next to her.

We began our search for the crystal cat first. Man this building was big, how were we going to find it before someone, preferably not the Bat, catches us? I let my thoughts wander, though I knew I should stay on task. To be honest, I don't think we would be able to get the bird, but the cat would just have to do. I looked around for anything else we might want. Then I found something I though Catwoman would appreciate. It was a thin silver ring with a small sapphire in it. Catwoman said that she loved sapphire because it reminds her of my eyes.

I looked back at Catwoman and caught her eyes. She nodded, knowing that I had found something I wanted. I pressed a button on my right glove and metal claws came out. Ctwoman had designed them so I would be able to cute through glass to get a valuable item, or so I could escape without jumping through a window and breaking the glass, depending on the situation. I placed my hand up to the glass and easily cut a decent sized hole into it, thanks to a few weeks of practice. I made the claws disappear, and slowly picked the ring from the large case were other pieces of jewelry were laid. From one of the compartments of my belt, I took out a small velvet bag and gently placed the ring into it, pulling the string to close it, and putting the bag back into the compartment of my belt.

I looked back again and saw that Catwoman had grabbed the crystal cat. We both knew that we wouldn't be able to get the bird, so we quickly climbed back up to the top of the roof. Catwoman detached the whip from the beam, and with just our luck, a dark clad figure appeared in front of us.

Catwoman's POV

Oh great, Batsie arrived right as me and my little bird were about to take our leave. I thought. I looked over at Black Bird and saw that he had already gotten into a fighting stance. What a good kid. I wonder what little trinket he had gotten? I shook my head slightly, and looked back up at the Bat.

"Return the cat, Catwoman." He said gruffly. Good, so he didn't know about Birdie taking anything. I thought happily. I looked down at the crystal cat in my hand, frowning slightly.

"What, this little thing?" I tried to play innocent, but I don't think he really cared. He reached into his belt and grabbed a Batarang, throwing it at my hand. Before it could reach its destination, to my surprise, Birdie threw one of his Birdarangs, (in the shape of a black bird in flight) and knocked the Batarang away.

"Well done Birdie!" I purred. He smiled and grabbed his Birdarang, not wanting to waste it while it was still nice and sharp. Batman looked at him, glaring, but I thought I saw a little curiosity in his face.

"Who's the boy?" He asked, still glaring.

"My son." I replied. Whoops, probably not the best idea, but hey, Dick goes by Greyson Williams and he wears brown colored contacts, so I think our secret's safe, for now.

"You don't have a son last time I saw you Catwoman." He glowered. Oh, was he a little curious now?

"Well, why don't you check more often?" I asked, smirking slightly. "maybe you could stop by sometime, and have a drink with me." I smiled flirtatiously, walking up to him and touching his arm. I gave him a quick peck on the cheek, then turned and ran.

"Oh, ewww! Gross! What did I say about flirting and kissing in any shape or form?" Black Bird yelled, already a few feet in front of me. I just smiled, but I soon let out a very catlike hiss when I felt Batman grab the cat out of my hand. I looked back but he was already gone. Should I go after him? I thought. No, Birdie got something good, so at least the trip was a bit successful.

The first thing we did when we got home was to shower. I folded my Catwoman suit and stepped into the shower in my room, while Dick folded his Black Bird suit and placed it on the hidden shelf behind the wall. Then he took a shower in the bathroom across from his room.

I couldn't wait to find out what he had gotten from our little night out!

Dick's POV

When Selena and I were both finished with our showers, we sat down on the couch and ate the dinner that was staying warm in the microwave. The calico cat Paleto was sitting on my lap, sleeping happily. After eating, Selena sat next to me, grabbed my shoulders, and looked my straight in the eyes.

"Ok Birdie, what did you get?" She smiled happily. I sighed, then reached into my pocket and took out the small velvet bag that was a deep ocean blue. Selena opened it, then squealed.

"It's for you, Selena." I said when she looked at me with a grin that touched both of her ears as she slipped the ring onto her the ring finger on her right hand.

"Thank you so much Dickie Bird!" She enveloped me in a huge bear hug, squeezing all the air out of my body. "I love you, you know that, right?" She whispered softly into my ear. I nodded gently, suppressing a smile.

"Yeah, I love you too. And I did love her, she was like a mother to me. I don't know what I would do without her. I glanced down at my necklace, smiling as I remembered when she had given it to me.
