Catwoman was leaned against a wall painfully. She had been shot in the side after stealing a priceless jewel called "The Cats eye". It was a green emerald encased in a gold seal cut into the shape of an eye. She clutched her side wishing she could make the pain stop. Going to the hospital would only get her arrested and she wasn't willing to give up her treasures.

"Selina" a firm but gentle voice said from beside her.

She looked to see Batman standing on the roof edge with a concerned expression. She could feel her heart race just looking at him "Hi Batman" she said deviously.

Batman approached her swiftly and knelt down beside her. He peered at her wound and frowned "This is pretty bad you need to go to a hospital" he said firmly.

"No..." Catwoman said sharply.

Batman frowned "Selina you'll die without proper medical attention" he said sternly.

Catwoman smiled "Take me to my hideout and you'll find medical equipment and medicine" she said defiantly.

Batman hesitated but as long as he could help her he was willing to obey. He picked her up bridal style in his arms and then scaled down the wall using his bat-wire.

As they reached the car Batman sat her in the passenger seat and then got in himself and sped off into the night.

As they sped along Batman glanced at her worriedly. She had fallen asleep but mumbled in pain a couple of times as she moved.

"She may be a criminal..." Batman thought to himself "But she's still human".

At hideout

Selina lay on her bed weakly. It felt nice to be able to lean against her pillows and soft mattress rather than a hard brick wall.

Batman had been forced to remove her cat suit in order to tend to her wound. He was sowing the wound up with a needle and thread carefully.

"I appreciate this Batman I really do" She said gently.

Batman stopped stitching the wound and then applied alcohol wipes to disinfect the wound.

"OW!" Hissed Selina she glared at him crossly "That hurts Y'know!" she snapped.

Batman frowned "It's supposed to" he said gruffly.

"I didn't mean to get shot it was an accident!" She hissed.

Batman applied a gauze to her wound then looked up at her "That's not good enough!" he snapped and pulled her into a kiss.

Selina's eyes widened in shock but she eventually closed them and returned his kiss. She never got over how soft his lips were and how passionate he was.

Batman pulled away and hugged her "If I lost you...I would NEVER forgive myself" he said bitterly.

Catwoman smiled and pushed him away gazing into his blue eyes "I'm sorry Batman I never meant to get injured but I got careless" she said softly.

"You really scared me Selina" he said firmly.

Selina smiled "I know...I'm sorry" she said kissing his cheek.

"You promise you'll be ok?" he said uneasily.

Selina nodded "Yes..." she said solemnly "I'll have to lay low for a few days though" she chuckled.

Batman smiled "I'll be off then" he said turning to leave but not before saying "Take care of yourself".

After he left Selena pulled the Cat's eye from under her suit and smiled "It was worth it" she said contentedly.

Later

Bruce was sat in his room with a glass of wine after a shower. He was thinking deeply about Selina and how seriously she had been hurt.

"She's getting too careless" He sighed heavily.

"Hey Bruce" Tim said bursting in suddenly.

"What is it?" he said curiously.

"A rare emerald called the cat's eye jewel was stolen earlier this evening" Tim said sternly.

"Stolen but when..." he said thoughtfully and remembered Catwoman and smirked. He chuckled to himself as the realization hit him.

"Something funny?" Tim said innocently.

Bruce smiled "Just thinking of a joke Tim".
