A Birth in the Family
Selina Kyle, Catwoman. To some she may be a petty cat burglar but to Batman, she was his first love. Though she's a thief, she's also a valued ally as well as occasional enemy. But on this night, Selina will have news that will bring her and Bruce closer than ever...
Catwoman slipped through one of the windows of the Gotham museum. Normally she would have looked for an entrance via vent, but lately it's been a lot tougher for her to get through tight spaces. She dropped gently onto the floor, taking great care in avoiding the inferred lasers. Before moving forward, she looked around, almost expecting something. Nothing. Catwoman maneuvered through the lasers as carefully as she could, but this time around it was tougher than usual. She stepped over the second to last laser then nearly tripped, but luckily she managed to regain her balance be using her whip to rope a nearby display above.
"Whew." She sighed, getting back on her feet.
There it was, in the display case in front of her sat the target of her little heist, a 400 carat diamond. This rock alone would be worth a fortune on the black market, just what Selina needed.
Using her claws she began to cut a circular insision in the glass and pulled it off.
"Come to kitty." She purred pulling the diamond out.
"Man have you put on weight or what?"
Catwoman turned anxiously. To her disappointment, Nightwing was standing right behind her.
She sighed. "Where's Bruce?"
"Busy." He raised an eyebrow, somewhat annoyed. "What am I not good enough for ya?"
"I need to speak with Bruce!" There was almost a sense of urgency in her voice.
"Yeah well, when you put the diamond back, I'll tell Bruce you want a word with him before you're hauled awa-"
Immediately Dick felt Selina's fist collide with his jaw. He stumbled back, tripping one of the lasers.
"Oh great..." She groaned as an alarm sounded in the museum. She then ran off towards the window she came in through.
Nightwing stumbled up, rubbing his jaw. "Hey!" He then ran after Catwoman as she slipped out the window.
Catwoman ran as fast as she could across the rooftops but as she soon noticed, Nightwing was gaining on her.
"Gotta be kidding me.." She leapt to the next roof but nearly missed the edge.
"Geez shes really off her game." Nightwing thought as he continued after her.
As Nightwing continued to get closer and closer, it was clear she had to lighten her load.
"Alright Bird boy," She pulled out the diamond. "You want the diamond?!" She then chucked it off the side of the roof. "Go get it!"
"Whoa!" Nightwing dived after the diamond, grabbing it just before it hit the ground. He then grappled back onto the roof but when he got up, Catwoman was no where to be found.
"Great..." He growled to himself.
Selina stopped near the rooftop entrance of an apartment. She breathed heavily as she began to lean on the door, knowing she had given Nightwing the slip. She then began to rub her stomach, somewhat worried. But soon sighed in relief.
"Still kicking..."
