Chapter 4

Don't Miss

Selina removed the locket from the girl's neck and planted it in her pocket. Selina marched out of the apartment and back into Two Face's car, fastening up her seat belt and inserting the keys into the ignition. Selina put the car into first gear and pushed down on the acceleration, moving the car forward. She needed to know what the carving on the locket meant, so who to go to if not Bruce? He is intelligent, tall, and hot, Selina lost herself in her thoughts and didn't realise the gunshots behind her until one bullet popped a tire and she lost control. The car spun out of control and flipped over, crashing the side of the car into a tree.

Selina wasn't out long and wasn't hurt much, but she felt a trickle of blood run down her face. Selina opened her eyes; she was still in the car, but upside down with her arms dangling past her head, "what in hell happened?" She was stunned of this but she didn't want to hang around, so she reached for her seat belt release button and pressed it, allowing gravity to take her body and she landed on her back. Pain rose up her back and she groaned, but she pushed herself up. She pushed on the door and it gave away and fell to the floor, so Selina stumbled out of the car easily into the night sky, but the sun was rising letting more light onto the street. The car was a wreck "Thank God for seat belts. No it was Nils Bohlin. Thank Nils Bohlin for seat belts" Selina chuckled and looked behind her, seeing three snipers about one hundred yards away, all pointing their guns at Selina.

"Put your hands in the air, bitch!" One of the snipers yelled, but Selina couldn't tell which.
Another thug laughed at the other's remark, but yelped as the thug on the left of the laughing thug winded him with the butt of his sniper rifle.
Selina sighed and raise her arms "what do you want?" She could easily take down these morons if they were closer and didn't have guns, so to get out of this alive, she either had luck on her side and could get away without getting shot or if vigilante came to rescue her.
"The boss needs to talk to you!" The same thug yelled.
Selina sighed and looked up searching the rooftops for a figure, but there was nobody, "So why doesn't he talk to me himself? Is he afraid of playing a little cat and mouse?"
"Shut up or I'll shut you up!" This time it was another thug.

Selina had enough of these morons she just wanted to take them down, so she let her hands fall to her side.
"Put them back up or I'll shoot!" A thug yelled, but Selina didn't listen to his order "I swear I'll shoot you!"
Selina looked back up at the rooftops, still nothing, "Then don't miss!" She ran and dove behind the car; bullets flying passed her and ricocheting off the car sending a deafening mechanic noise though her ears. Soon after the thugs switch their gun to burst fire, releasing bullets rapidly, but Selina didn't move of the risk of getting shot. She needed a way out, so she started looking around for something to be protected with. When she spotted the car door she quickly lifted it up with hardly any effort and dragged it in front of her and pulled it all the way across the street to the nearest alley way. Bullets flew everywhere; breaking the windows of the old abandon buildings behind her. One of the thugs shattered the glass of Selina's shield, but she kept her head below the open gap and didn't get shot.

Fortunately, Selina made it unmarked to the ally way and ran and she didn't stop until she made it to Gotham's most adored bachelor's mansion. It was huge and covered in pale brick, Selina sighed looking back on her live when she always wanted to live in Bruce Wayne's home, Hell she still wanted to live in that magnificent building. She looked up at the towering gate that opened up to the entrance way of the building then at camera watching outside the gates and waved, gesturing to open the gates to the security or Alfred, who really knows who opens those gates? But they didn't open, nothing moved. Something was up, Bruce even Alfred would open up for Selina or the security would tell her to go away, but no one answered. Selina had no option she needed to climb over the gate. Selina mumbled under her breath "phff, a girl needs to do everything around here" and she pushed herself up and easily she ascended over the gate and dropped when she was close to the bottom.

Selina squatted and kept silent, listening. All that was around her was the occasional police siren and the constant sound of the wind. Selina grew tired, but the sun rose higher in the sky. She decided to continue on the path towards Wayne Manner and became more curious with every step she took. When she finally reached the door, she held up her hand to knock, but before she could knock, the door opened and Alfred appeared.
"Selina? How are you this morning?" Alfred spoke in a polite tone as usual, but looked pale and tired and was blocking the doorway with his body.
"How are you, Alfred?" Selina looked behind him trying to get a glimpse of anything, but Alfred stopped her, blocking her view.
"Selina, you better leave." He looked serious, something was defiantly up. "Please, you could get hurt if you stay any long." Alfred whispered to Selina so only she could hear.
"Why, what's going?"
"Go. Just go. Bruce will sort it out."
"Is Bruce in there?"
"Yes" Those words seem to hurt Alfred, as if it cut his heart in two. Alfred closed the door, but he didn't slam the door, he is too polite to slam the door on anyone's face.

Selina stepped away from the door and crouched under the nearest window, left of the main door entrance. Selina peeked up to see into the window and saw Alfred being beaten up by, who looked like, Joker's thugs. But Joker was dead, unless Harley took over after Joker that would make sense. Selina saw the balcony to Bruce's bedroom and climbed up the wall with help from Selina's cat-o-nine-tail. In the room was Harley, with her hair dyed black, leaning over Bruce, who was tied up sitting in a chair half-conscious blood trickling down his face. Selina was thinking of a way to get Bruce out of this mess and save Alfred from possible death. Harley wasn't alone; she was with a thug who had a gun pointing it at Bruce. No matter what Selina could do she could end up getting Bruce shot or even worst, the only thing she could do was stay out of sight and wait for an opening.
