"Honestly! You guys are making this too easy!" Tomcat teased. The cat flipped out of the way as Superboy charged at him. He swung his whip out, wrapping it around Superboy's neck. The Kryptonian struggled against the binding and grew weaker and the Kryptonite affected him. Tomcat swung him using the whip, making him collide into Artemis. The archer was effectively pinned by the boy of steel. "Can't I have a bit of a challenge?"
"I'll give you a challenge," Kid Flash ran at him. Tomcat simply inspected hi nails, acting bored. He easily flipped out of the way once more. Kid Flash screeched to a halt and doubled back, running at him again. Tomcat wrapped his whip around the ceiling rafters and swung himself up, avoiding the speedster. Miss Martian telekinetically blasted him off the rafters. The thief flipped through the air, gracefully landing on his feet.
"Come on, don't you know cats always land on their feet?" Tomcat smirked. He took a small rectangle out of his pocket, smirking at her. He flipped it open, revealing it to be a lighter. "If I were you, I would flee, right now." He took a step back as Aqualad rushed at him, swinging his water swords. The lighter fell out of his hand, hitting the wooden floor. Aqualad rushed back as the floor caught on fire. Tomcat stumbled back, surprised at the fire. The flames grew higher and blocked his view of the other teens.
His hands flew to his mouth and he began coughing as smoke entered his lungs. She turned around, desperately looking for an exit. Out of urgency he swung his whip, grabbing the rafters. He pulled on them, trying to swing away. The rafters fell down nearly crushing him. Tomcat ran out of the way, tripping over a loose floorboard. He fell to the ground, coughing as more smoke entered his lungs. The thief pushed himself up and leaned against a nearby pillar. He heard the ceiling above him creak, and saw it crack. He closed his eyes flinching as it came down. He felt something grip him, and then he was pushed to the ground, with a body looming over him.
"That was a close one," Kid Flash gasped from above him. "You okay?"
"You saved me," Tomcat wheezed before coughing.
"Hey hey, don't breathe in, just hold your breath," Kid Flash ordered with a small cough of his own. He picked the younger boy up and held him bridal style. The speedster quickly ran off, avoiding the flames. Tomcat shuddered against his body, and gripped the yellow spandex. "Hang on. I'm going to get us out of here!" Kid Flash dodged another falling rafter and quickly found a door. He slammed against it, trying to open it. The door flew open and the two of them tumbled into the outside world. Tomcat coughed and wheezed, trying to breathe in the clean air. "You okay?" Kid Flash repeated, flashing over to him. Tomcat looked up at him with wide eyes.
"You saved me," he repeated, coughing slightly. "Why?"
"Of course I did, I'm not a monster," the redhead chuckled. "I'm a hero. If I can save a life, even the life of a thief, I will." Tomcat cleared his throat and stood up weakly, looking up at Kid Flash. "But you do realize I'm going to ha-!" He was cut off when Tomcat pressed his lips against his. Unlike the other times, this one was soft and gentle. Tomcat hesitantly wrapped his arms around Kid Flash's neck.
"Thank you," Tomcat whispered as they parted for a moment. He kissed him again and Kid Flash wrapped his arms around Tomcat, pulling him slightly closer. The thief gasped in surprise and the redhead pushed his tongue into the younger boy's mouth. Tomcat moaned as their tongues moved against one another, battling for dominance. Their mouths moved against each other in complete synch. Kid Flash pulled away from Tomcat and pressed his lips against his partner's neck. He nipped and nibbled at the thief's neck. "Wally…" Tomcat gasped as he bit a sensitive spot. Kid Flash froze and pulled away, staring at him in shock.
"What did you just say?" he asked. A smirk formed on Tomcat's lips. The thief moved his hands to be cupping the elder boy's face. He pulled him closing, lightly brushing his lips against his.
"Thank you for saving me…Wally," he whispered huskily. He kissed Wally gently, nibbling on his bottom lip. "I know everything Wally West," Tomcat purred. He pushed his hands up, pulling off the yellow cowl. Kid Flash was frozen in shock, unable to move. Tomcat smirked and pulled back. "I'll see you next time." He winked at the redhead and tapped his nose. He pulled away from the speedster, who tightened his grip.
"Not happening," Wally growled, glaring at him. "I still have to turn you in and take you to the police!"
"Not going to happen," Tomcat smirked. He dug his claws into the back of Wally's shoulder, causing the speedster to cry out in pain. He tightened his grip, trying not to let go of the younger boy. Tomcat drug his claws up, curving around his shoulders. "Are you going to let me go now?"
"No," Wally hissed.
"Fine, have it your way then." Tomcat pulled his hands back and slammed his steel claws into Wally's arm. The redhead screamed in pain and let go of him. Tomcat smirked and kicked Wally in the head, knocking him out. Tomcat fled the scene just as sirens blared and The Flash ran around the smoking building, seeing his beaten up nephew.
"Oh Bats is going to be mad at you when he finds out what you did," Catwoman chuckled, holding Tomcat.
"He's not going to find out," Tomcat told her. "You're not going to tell him, I'm not going to tell him, and Kid Flash certainly is not going to tell him."
"Sweetie, I was talking about you slipping and calling him by his real name," Catwoman smirked.
"Oh yeah…Bats is going to kill me for that," Tomcat groaned slapping his forehead. Catwoman laughed at his distress.
