Chapter 9: Cat and Bat

Ivy, Selina, and Harley took the next few days minding their own business. Ivy took the time to recuperate as she sunbathed in the garden. Harley would occasionally go grocery shopping and spend her time playing video games or checking up on Ivy. Selina on the other hand was caught up with her thoughts. Selina filled her duffel bag with her clothes and costume and headed out.

"Hey where you off too?" Harley asked as she noticed Selina heading toward the door.

"Oh gonna pay some bills then do a little working out maybe go for a swim at the gym," Selina said nonchalantly.

"Oh okay, don't stay out too late I'm baking cookies!" Harley said with a happy smile.

"As long as they don't look like the Joker or have raisins I'm cool," Selina said and headed out the door. Selina paid the bills as she promised and decided to stake out the Penguin's hideout. Catwoman made her way to a nearby rooftop in angle where she can see the Penguin through a window as he sat eating his dinner he ate silently for the most part. Only asking simple miniscule type questions. Selina sighed as she became increasingly bored. Thoughts popped into her head about the night she was suppose to seduce Batman. It didn't turn out as she planed. First off she thought it was going to go smoother, quicker, easier. Instead he was stone cold as ever, was he finally bored of her? Catwoman closed her eyes as she shook her head. She didn't want to believe it. Secondly she thought she was going to get further this time. Instead it seemed she took a step back. Catwoman sighed disappointed at the memory. Perhaps she really was the weak one between the both. There was a knock on Penguins door, that caught Catwoman's attention.

"Come in," Penguin said simply.

"Sorry to interrupt Penguin, sir but Mark just came back from Two Face's and they said they had nothing to do with the stolen weapons," the guy said nervously.

"Nonsense, they always have been stealing my weapons and always will, why would they stop now?" Penguin said as he cut his steak.

"But that's what Mark said. Two Face was very persuasive, sir," the guy added becoming fearful.

"Hmph, we'll see about that," Penguin said stiffly. Catwoman stood up taking off her goggles and smiled.

"Idiots," she said under her breath happily and turned around stopping suddenly.

"Catwoman," Batman said simply. Catwoman took a step back looking up with a smile.

"Well if it isn't tall, dark, and handsome, so what brings you here?" Catwoman asked placing a hand on her hip.

"I could be asking you the same question," Batman replied. Catwoman looked put off as she looked toward her side.

"Oh you know little ole' me just being the curious cat I am," Catwoman replied.

"Too curious, why are you so interested in the Penguin's business?" Batman asked.

"And I'm here just talking to a hallucination, right?" Catwoman asked simply. Batman was silent then he smirked.

"This is my job," Batman replied simply. Catwoman raised her eyebrows as she closed her eyes then opened them.

"Well then by all means don't let me get in the way," Catwoman said as she stepped aside and presented him with an open path.

"Catwoman," Batman said strongly all of a sudden but Catwoman kept walking. "You and your friends have been keeping out of trouble?" Batman asked sternly as he looked at the Penguin's window as well. Catwoman stopped walking as she shrugged.

"If you mean babysitting the psych ward then yes," Catwoman said.

"They're your words not mine," Batman replied with a smirk. Catwoman sighed.

"Yes they've been... behaving, I suppose but you know how girls are. So unpredictable," Catwoman replied as she continued to walk. "So if you don't have any more questions I'll be on my way, have fun trying not to fall asleep. Oswald isn't much to look at," Catwoman said as she continued to walk away. A Batarang suddenly landed in front of her, stopping Catwoman making her step back, lifting her arms back in surprise. "Okay... I thought we were done here," Catwoman replied a bit apprehensive. Suddenly she felt a strong grip on her wrist as she was turned forcefully. She looked up as she felt the heat radiating off Batman before being kissed just like the way he kissed her in the Batmobile and on other rooftops full of lust and passion. Catwoman wanted to pull away out of anger and resentment for playing hard to get but she couldn't help it she continued to kiss him back regardless of what her head told her to do. The kiss broke as Catwoman leaned her head back defeated as she sighed angrily at herself. "Why do we do this to ourselves?" Catwoman asked frustrated.

"I don't have an answer to that," Batman replied simply looking down at Catwoman seriously. Catwoman looked back up him and smiled.

"Why do you always light a fire within me that I can't resist?" Catwoman asked as she caressed his lower jaw and cheek. She hugged him quickly absorbing a brief moment of comfort, taking in the moment before pulling away stepping back regretfully. "I won't let myself be the easy one this time!" she yelled as she turned away running as fast as she can, running from her emotions. I won't let him have me just when he wants me.

Catwoman walked into their house taking off her mask.

"Hey Kitty just in time I've just finished baking!" Harley said happily then frowned as she saw the look on Selina's face. "Kitty?" Harley asked concernedly.

"Oh yeah cookies... that's sounds good," Selina replied halfhearted as she walked into the kitchen's tiny eating nook. Ivy sat at the table actually enjoying Harley's cookies.

"Well you look distraught," Ivy observed as she stared at Selina.

"Here have a cookie," Harley offered. Selina took a bite out of it and chewed.

"Mmm it's good," Selina said a bit happier.

"If that doesn't help... you know what will," Ivy offered teasingly with a small smile.

"If you drag my ass to bed or inside at least, I might consider it," Selina said with a smirk.

"Harley is a strong girl, we can handle it," Ivy said taking a sip of tea.

"Alright see ya in a bit," Selina said as she walked outside toward the backyard.

"Hey it's night time where ya goin'?" Harley asked confused.

"Don't worry we'll see her in a bit for now enjoy your cookies," Ivy said as she continued to eat the next cookie on her plate. Within a few minutes Ivy led Harley outside.

"Oh my GOSH KEHTY!" Harley bellowed in shock as her pet Hyena Moe licked Selina's face as she slept lifelessly on the ground. Ivy muffled her giggling for a bit then gave up as she laughed at the scene.

"She'll... ha ha ha... be alright c'mon let's get her inside," Ivy said as she made her way toward Selina. Harley and Ivy dragged Selina inside. Selina awoke on the couch with a slightly stiff neck but over all feeling quite happy. Selina stretched as she recalled having good dreams about her and Bruce about them getting together settling down becoming a normal average couple living a normal average life. Selina got up and took a shower she headed toward the kitchen and started cooking breakfast. Soon Harley and Ivy woke up as well.

"Glad to see you in a better mood," Ivy replied with a smile.

"Yeah I know... that plant stuff really works you should patent it. Sell for millions instead of that half baked anti-depressants they sell instead."

"Hmph doesn't sound half bad," Ivy agreed.

"I don't know I just feel... happy... happy to be alive, like I won the lotto or nearly died and having a second chance. I'm just happy to be alive, it's just a great feeling," Selina tried to explain. Ivy shrugged.

"Well I'm going to check up on my babies," Ivy said making her way outside to do her rounds. Soon Harley made her way down and opened the newspaper.

"Gonna do some Sudoku," Harley said opening a newspaper then gulped.

"Oh boy looks like Penguins and Two Face are at it again," Harley announced as she read part of the newspaper.

"Oh yeah don't tell Ivy but it seems that Penguin thinks Two Face took his guns and not us... let's try to keep it that way," Selina advised as she served Harley a pancake.

"My lips are sealed," Harley said zipping up her lips and throwing off the tab. "Ooh thanks Kitty," Harley said grabbing a fork.
