Marvel Universe (19thMay 2015, Baxter Building)

Captain America lifted his shield up quickly, feeling the force of her kick on it, he pushed back, acting like a counter weight and sent her flying through the air. Skilfully Catwoman wrapped her whip around a pole on the roof and swung around it until she landed.

"I don't want to play at all!" Captain America shouted, almost pleading "All I want to know is where you've come from!" His question was futile, Catwoman cracked her whip twice more, and on the third the whip connected with his chest, splitting the patriotic star in half. He held his jaw in place.

Catwoman chuckled as she walked, and then gave a little yawn.

"I've always hated patriotism." She commented with a smooth smile, the diamonds wielded to the fingertips of her gloves sparkled in the moonlight. She was waiting for him now, waiting for her chance, it excited her. She knew this wasn't Gotham City, she knew this wasn't her world. And she was sure he knew that too.

Captain America began to move closer, his shallow wound had caused his white star to turn red, his hand were held out showing her the he was not armed.

"I am not going to hurt you. I promise." He said, trying just once more. But again it was futile. Catwoman jumped over him and tried to kick him in the back, but he had turned to meet her and caught her foot, throwing her off guard. She began to struggle and he pushed her to the floor, however she quickly was on her feet once again trying to hit him with the whip but he kept dodging. He got lucky when she pulled the whip back too late, and as soon as it had crack he had shoved his boot on it, took it in his hand and pulled her towards him, and then punched her in the gut.

Catwoman was surprised, but also resourceful, she couldn't use her whip now, he might try to catch it again, but she had her agility and claws. But she knew she was outmatched in strength. She jumped into the air; he shielded himself, doing what she wanted him to do. She used his shield to kick off and began to run towards the portal.

Seeing what she was doing Captain America threw his shield towards her, and in a couple of seconds it had connected with her shoulder blades, sending her flying over the edge of the Baxter building.

"No!" He yelled as he ran to the edge, looking over he sighed with relief, she'd been able to dig her claw like gloves into the glass of the building. Reaching his hand out to her he pleaded with her. "Give me your hand!" He shouted

Embarrassed Catwoman grabbed the man's hand, and let him pull it up, but she wouldn't turn nice just because of this. Once up she kicked out at him, her shoulders hurt and she needed to get through the portal. Back to Bruce.

Captain America was surprised by the woman's conviction to hurt him, he'd just saved her life. He had no choice. With a sigh he took a few spaces back and waited for her next barrage. She kicked once again, he grabbed her leg and brought his elbow down on her knee with a deafening crack followed by a piercing scream. Her leg was broken, she wobbled away and he grabbed her. Kicking her down he grabbed her head. She began to scratch at his arms trying to save herself but before the second was up he cracked her neck in his hands.

A cool breeze flowed through the city as her body hit the ground lifeless. He sighed.

"War never changes." He muttered. He grabbed the body and dragged it through the portal and threw it back.

DC Universe (19th-20thMay 2015)

Within an hour it was all over the new 'CATWOMAN FOUND DEAD' James Gordon had got rid of police and paparazzi by the time Batman and Robin arrived. Both were stunned, unsure of what to do or believe. Batman had called a meeting at the Hall of Justice with the seven original members. Superman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash and himself.

The meeting was quick and simple. Batman showed pictures of Catwoman and explained her condition. Broken leg, fractured shoulder blades, multiple cuts and bruises, a broken neck.

"We're at war with whoever did this." He stated before leaving, no one argued, they agreed. Superman flew over to him to try and help but got ignored mostly.

"Bruce don't let this hatred consume you." He said "We agree that whatever did that to her deserves to be punished, but war?" He sighed and shook his head "It might be too soon." Batman stopped and turned to look at Superman.

"I have DNA Clark." He said "Skin. Fabric. Blood. All under Selena's claws, it was a human but from another world. Dumping the body like they did. It was them declaring war on us. I never chose this." He said, walking away before alarms went off all over the Hall of Justice.

"What's that?" Superman asked

"A portal detector that I installed earlier." Batman replied, a cough interrupted them both.

"I will go and investigate, I can get there fastest." The Martian Manhunter said. Without a word both Batman and Superman nodded. And Jonn disappeared.

Like he'd said Martian Manhunter was there in minutes, but the portal had already closed, however he sensed someone had passed through. Hearing a whistle on the wind Martian Manhunter focused and a bullet phased through him. Quickly he turned to see a man far below him holding a sniper rifle, dressed all in black, with a black trench coat and a black top with a white skull on it.

The Punisher took aim and fired at the alien.
