To Capture a Cat

"Hey Shadow!" Cham called as the Feliazian sat in front of the large windows just watching the sky

"How can I help you Cham?" she asked softly.

"Timberwolf says you're even able to sneak up on him, is that right?" he asked curiously. Shadow stood up and turned around to face him with a smile on her face

"Zhat is true," she purred "but I doubt zhat is vhat you came to ask me, am I correct in my assumption?" she asked as he grinned sheepishly

"Well, Brainy always knows when we're sneaking up on him, cause he made the cloaking belts... think you can teach us how to sneak around without them?" he asked, his big green eyes giving her the best 'kicked puppy' look he could muster.

"Hmmmm... I zhink I could spare you a few hours," she smiled and motioned him to come closer, which he did. "Zhink about it Cham... Brainy is a human... he can't sense a zhing... he's just guessin...also, a ninja you're not," she laughed lightly then pointed to his feet "stand on your toes and keep your ankles off zeh floor; zhat vay your feet do not click vhen zeh soles of your feet hit zeh floor." She instructed as he nodded, understanding.

"What else?" he asked eagerly

"Keep to zeh shadows, zhis base alvays has a nice patch of shadows in every corridor, stick to zhem and move vhen zhey move," she instructed as he grinned

"Ok,"

"Zhat is all I can teach you i'm afraid," she put a hand on his shoulder "go test it out," she smiled as he nodded and morphed into a fly and buzzed off "...of course being a fly vouldn't hurt eizher," she smiled softly then sat back down as a breeze flowed through the room, then she felt to hands on her shoulders, "vhat do you vant, Timbervolf?" she asked sighing

"You said you'd teach me to dance," he smiled as she stood back up

"You vant to learn how to dance from a exotic dancer?" she smirked "only kidding, I know other dancing," she giggled at his sheepish look then moved closer to him "put your left arm on my hip and your right in my hand," she instructed as he did so, she lightly rested her left hand on his shoulder and took his left hand with her right.

"What now?" he asked

"Small graceful steps, backvards and forvards," she instructed, "make sure zhey are flowing," she purred. He then did as he was told leading her as she kept giving him small instructions on what to do. They didn't even notice two pairs of shocked eyes, one, belong to Brainiac 5, the other, to Lightning Lad.

"Didn't know you could dance," Lightning lad smirked as the two jumped apart in shock

"Um..." Timberwolf gulped

"Good lesson Timbervolf, you learn quickly," Shadow smiled

"You were teaching him?" Brainiac 5 frowned questioningly

"Yes," she nodded

"...You dance?" both males asked in shock as she groaned to herself

"Yes, she does," Timberwolf answered for her as Lightning Lad shrugged

"Cool," he smiled "well, there's a meeting going on, so you should be there," he informed them then walked back to the conference room as Brainiac 5 followed writing something on a Data-pad.

"C'mon zhen," Shadow sighed and followed them, not hearing the light patter of multiple feet on the roof; but Timberwolf noticed it perfectly and looked around the room, before following the cat girl. If he'd of stayed any longer he would have seen multiple ropes fall down and multiple black clad figures claw squares out of the thick glass with their long claws then jump in without raising any alarms.

Meanwhile...

"Brainy what's this meeting about?" Phantom girl asked sighing

"It would seem there has been a sighting of a large group of Feliazian males in New metropolis," Brainy sighed as Shadows eyes widened

"What?!" Timberwolf yelped

"We got in reports a few hours ago, their ship docked and a large group of them began searching the city," Brainy explained, "Shadow, any reason this may be happening?" he asked as she looked around the room fearfully "...Shadow?" he frowned

"Ugh you are the dumbest smart person ever!" Timberwolf growled and tried to calm the feline as Saturn girl explained what was wrong VIA mind link

"...Oh... then we must prepare for imminent attack," Brainiac 5 growled

"Zhere is no point..." Shadow whimpered

"Why?" Star boy asked

"Feliazian fighters are highly trained..." Shrinking Violet sighed "their techniques are stealthy, they blind sight you, take you by surprise... shock you," she explained. As soon as she finished speaking the alarms triggered alerting each and every legionnaire that there were intruders.

"Timberwolf, Cham; protect Shadow," Cosmic boy ordered "the rest of you, with me," he instructed as they left the room.

"Shadow?" Cham asked

"Hide," she spoke, "zhese guys vill not let you live," she lowered her head sadly

"We're not gonna hide while they take you, Shadow," Timberwolf growled as yelling could be heard... and then silence.

The three held their breaths, waiting for what was to come. Shadow stood up; jumped down from her seat to the area where Brainy normally explained his plans. Timberwolf stood in front of her as did Cham in a large beastly form.

"Remember Shadow, Cats fear dogs," Timberwolf smirked as they all got into a fighting stance. Then the doors blew off their hinges creating a gush of smoke.

"Ahh vell if it isn't little Izza," a cocky male voice laughed

"No," she gasped as two black figures pounced on Timberwolf and Chameleon boy taking them by surprise as the figures pinned a now normal Cham, easily.

"Shadow run!" Timberwolf yelled throwing the figure off him.

"Not zhis time," she hissed and pounced over him taking the figure out completely, ripping into the figures shoulders with her sharp claws making the figure hiss out in pain. Shadow then back-flipped landing perfectly on her paws as she narrowed her eyes.

"Hmmm, not bad," the voice hissed

"Shadow?" Timberwolf

"Howl," she instructed "on my signal," he nodded in response as five figures walked out of the smoke "NOW!" she yelled as he let out a frightfully loud howl/roar causing the figures to jump and momentarily freeze, but it didn't take long for them to get their bearings back and jump, tackling Shadow to the floor as she bit down on their necks and hands. Timberwolf was soon knocked unconscious by a hard blow to the head; he didn't even see who did it.

"Pathetic," the cocky voice snickered looking over the unconscious wolf. His team moved away to show the now injured Shadow, unconscious, and bleeding.

"Take her to zeh ship, Rizk vill be happy ve found her" he purred then walked out as the figures picked up Shadow and carried her out of the room and into the hallway where the unconscious injured legionnaires had put on a rather pathetic fight... according to the Feliazians'.

--

Shadow awoke in a small damp and moss filled dungeon cell as two malicious green eyes stared back at her, they belonged to the black furred bulky, evil father of Marik...

"...Velcome back," Rizk (Riz-ack) laughed darkly as she screamed in terror.
