How is it doing, folks? Here's the second chapter of The King. Here we're going to see some of the villains of the story (AKA the hyenas) and a bit of Raven. No, Scar is going to appear later.

I own nothing. Characters are owned by DC Comics and the story to Disney.

This takes place a few days after Dick's birth, in the morning.

At the same time the celebration of little Richard's birth was happening, very far away from the manor, in a luxury apartment a beautiful red haired woman with some flowers tied to her long hair (like braids) wearing a peach shirt and pants knocked on a door, expecting to be recieved by her "friend". Sure enough, the door opened and appeared another beautiful dark haired woman wearing a ruby necklace. She was certainly surprised:

-I thought you would come later. - The red head started looking into her purse while saying:

-A change of plans. I have work to do this evening. Seeing as I had the morning free, I thought it would be better to visit you now. - The women entered into the apartment and the guest sat on a couch while stretching her legs. –Sadly Harley couldn't come. She has work of her own. - She got out of her purse, after finishing stretching, a little potted plant and placed it next to her.

The black-haired woman shrugged:

-Doesn't matter. Do you want something to…? Oh, I forgot. You can create your own food. Down, Isis. - The last thing she said was to her favourite cat, Isis. That's saying something, because her apartment was full of expensive items and her pet cats.

So yeah, I could have said it earlier. Besides having normal lives, all these persons featured in this story (well, most of them, others only have one identity), also have another identity; they're superheroes. They're extremly careful so nobody can recognize them. Here in Gotham City they mostly go out at night, as well as the villains. Diana, after marrying Bruce, had to adjust so she can work as Wonder Woman at day in other cities and at night in Gotham, and she did it quite well.

(Author's note: I know everybody knows this, but I had to inform that, because TLK is the only movie adaptated into their world and time, I couldn't leave out the super-fact. Because it would be boring if the whole story happened with them as normal people; now, back to the fic)

In these days, though, Gotham's villains formed a sort of group, and some knew the secret identities of others. Of course, as they worked for the same purpose (get rid of Batman) for their own reasons, as well as attacking Gotham, they didn't betray one another. At least, not usually.

The redhead petted her plant while commenting calmly:

-I guess you know about Wayne's kid, right Selina? - Selina Kyle gave a grunt before looking out the window. One of her cats came to her, snuzzling against her left leg.

-Yes, I read it in the newspaper. - She pointed to a pile of old newspapers left in the floor, next to the cat litter box.

-And your opinion…?-

-Listen, Pam, I don't know what you're expecting for me to do. Break all the china?-

-You did it once. - Pamela Isley smirked, remembering that one time.

-How could she choose that woman when he knows of Gotham's finest… -

-Men are blind, most of the time. They only care about the body of a woman. –

Selina sighed. She was one of the few "villains" that knew of Batman real's identity and Bruce Wayne's secret life. She loved the man for the longest time, even though they had a rocky relationship. And sometimes they helped one another! Catwoman turned into a heroine, when she was actually an anti-heroine. And then that one came… Selina also knew of her secret identity (after a time of stalking Diana and Wonder Woman, and investigating about them, soon she deduced and knew of the Amazon's secret), but she didn't tell anyone about Bruce or his wife. Then how did Poison Ivy know of her love? Simply, when they discovered each other's identities and told each others' lifes, Selina simply said that she loved both men, as separate, making Pamela believe that Batman and Bruce Wayne were two different men. And it worked! But Selina was sure that someday, the truth will be revealed.

Ivy finished her talking:

-And you're jealous. I know that expression in a woman. - Catwoman blushed slightly:

-Well yes, I am jealous and furious.-

-Relax! You still have the Dark Knight to mess up with. Not that I am fond of him… -She shuddered- But you like him as well.

Selina suddenly smirked. Well, she could always plan her "revenge" by attacking him at night. Problem is, she would be there too. Then the best thing she could do is continue with her life, getting back to stealing and saving kittys and forget about him.

To change the subject, Pamela took out of her purse a sparkling red dress with company long purple gloves and a pair of red high heels. She looked at the outfit with an awkward expression and asked for advice:

-Do you think this looks good on me? - Selina sat on the couch while grabbing a golden sculpture of an Egyptian godess:

-Try it! Use my room as a dresser. – The woman followed the suggestion and a while later; she came out looking fabolous in that dress. The cat thief was marvelled:

-It's great! You look like a diva! A real diva! Where did you get it? I might steal it one night.-

-I'm not so sure. I think I saw it once, and one day it was in my bed.I have a secret admirer, so it seems. I'm only going to use for special ocassion. Do you imagine how bad it would be if I was working while wearing this? People wouldn't take me seriously. Not that I want anything from them…- She went back into the bedroom and in a few minutes she was already in her normal attire.

-I have to go now. So, when will the cat strike again?-

-One of these nights.' Till then, bye! - And so Poison Ivy left to do her business, which was criminal business, but she insisted that it was for helping the plants.

In some other place, Raven was meditating in her room, in her house. (Just go along with it) After she finished she started drawing in a note pad. When she finished, she smiled as she saw a blue bird as the finishing result. Slowly, she wrote a name under the bird, and it was 'Richard', visioning the newborn. She placed in the wall the drawing so she could watch it every day.

Sorry if it was short, but I wanted to do something original while updating the fic. If you're wondering, Selina and Pamela will play hyenas (Selina will be Shenzi, while Pam will be a random hyena). I know that Shenzi doesn't love Mufasa, but I wanted to throw original stuff here. Forgive me if I made the girls too OOC, but I didn't want to turn them into "pure evil!" figures. I wanted to get out their human side. And this is AU, so I wanted to make a 'what if…' moment if those were friends of sorts. Everything here is AU (Alternative Universe). Sorry if you wanted Harley in there, but she'll appear next time the villains come! (With Scar! Oh yes, now you know who will be Scar :D ) . Also, you get a free cookie if you understood the red dress moment, because THAT same character that wears that dress in her own film will be played by Poison Ivy.
