This chapter is dedicated to Azraelean because they pointed out an important fact to me that I completely spaced. Hope everyone likes it! And thank you all for reading my first fanfic.

Chapter 13: I'm not going to be dog chow!

"Um, what are you guys doing?" Terry asked when he made it back to the bat cave, staring questioningly at the two human occupants who were staring intently at the computer monitor that was displaying a slow moving green completion bar.

"Waiting for the results of a DNA test that could determine my fate," Isis said dramatically while making hurrying motions with her hand, hoping to convince the computer to calculate faster.

"What DNA test? And how is it going to determine your fate?" Terry asked as he removed the cowl of his suit and walked towards her.

"I wanted to determine if Isis was related to me," Bruce replied monotonously while leaning back in his chair. Terry, staring in shock at Bruce Wayne, sat down next to Isis. All three humans were waiting anxiously for the results, while Ace simply laid down next to Bruce's chair and took a nap. After a few tense moments, the computer signaled that the test was complete.

"Well? Well? What do the results say?" Isis immediately questioned.

"I haven't been able to look at the results yet," Bruce replied as he pulled up the results.

"Well why not? It's been done for like 5 seconds!" Isis exclaimed like it was ridiculous that he didn't know. Walking over to the computer monitor, Isis began to look at the complete gibberish that is known as medical vocabulary. Quirking her head to the side, she gave a defeated sigh and waited as patiently as she could for Bruce to tell her the results. Though for Isis, waiting patiently included, shuffling her feet and bouncing on her toes simultaneously. Terry was only slightly better as he fiddled with his cowl and looked back and forth between Isis and Bruce. Finally, Bruce was done reading what the computer was telling him.

"You're not my granddaughter. Selina must have retired from the criminal world at the same time she met your grandfather," Bruce said, frowning slightly as he began to wonder who Selina left him for.

"Woo! I'm not going to be dog food! Not that it wouldn't have been sorta interesting if I was your granddaughter, but I kind of prefer not thinking about your dog eating me," Isis said while she did a short celebratory dance, causing Terry to laugh at her slightly.

"Well now that we know all this, how about I walk you home after I change, Isis," Terry said as he walked over to a secluded area to remove the bat suit.

"Thankies, Terry, that'd be great!" Isis replied. "So now what?" she asked the original Batman.

"I would like to see your suit so I can modify it. I promise not to change the way it looks, I simply want to improve the weapons mostly," Bruce said while giving her a look that dared her to defy him.

"I'll bring it to school tomorrow and sneak it to Terry to bring to you," Isis said.

"Good," and with that last comment, Bruce turned his chair back to the computer monitor. Shrugging her shoulders, Isis went back to her exploring of the cave while waiting for Terry.

"Alright, ready to go," Terry said when he walked back to the main part of the cave. Taking Isis' hand, he walked with her back up the steps to the house and out into the cool night air. "So what were you talking to the old man about?" Terry asked Isis as they walked down the old winding road.

"He just wants me to give him my suit so he can modify it," Isis replied absentmindedly. While Terry didn't recall that he was holding Isis' hand, she did, and she was staring at their joined hands.

"What's wrong Isis?" Terry asked as he made both of them come to a stop so he can look at her completely.

"What are we doing exactly?" Isis said as she dragged her eyes up to Terry's face.

"I'm walking you home," Terry said as if it was obvious.

"I meant; what are we doing with our relationship?" Isis said quietly.

"What do you mean?" Terry said confusedly. Now realizing that he had yet to let go of her hand, Terry entwined their fingers together and pulled her closer to him.

"Well; are we just playing around and flirting for the fun of it, or are we serious?" Isis said, not noticing that Terry brought her closer.

"Well isn't flirting supposed to be fun? And I know I'm serious about you," Terry said quietly, looking into Isis' amber eyes intently.

"I suppose you have a point about flirting, and I believe our feelings are mutual; so now what do we do?" Isis said, staring into Terry's blue gaze with love.

"Well I know what I want to do," Terry said mysteriously.

"And what would that be?" Isis asked cautiously.

"I want to seal the deal," and with those words whispered, Terry brought their lips together gently. Isis' eyes fluttered close at the sheer feelings that Terry was projecting to her through that chaste kiss. But to Isis, the sweetness of the chaste kiss wasn't enough. Bringing her arms around Terry's neck, she tilted her head and opened her lips slightly. Understanding the implication, Terry opened his lips and let his tongue slip out of his mouth and enter Isis' gently while wrapping his arms tightly around Isis' waist. Isis gave a soft moan as her tongue twined with Terry's and joined in the intricate dance that Terry's tongue was leading. Neither were trying to dominate the other, for both knew that it would be pointless. Shifting the bottom of Isis' shirt, Terry slipped his hands under her shirt and reveled in the feeling of her skin. Deciding to not be out done, Isis moved one of her hands up to the nape of Terry's head and tangled her fingers in his hair. They finally had to pull apart when their lungs started to protest the lack of oxygen. Panting softly, Terry gazed at Isis, who was biting her lower lip and kept her eyes closed in order to savor the feeling. Gently chuckling at the repeated action, Terry rested his forehead against Isis'. Opening her eyes, she dazedly gazed at Terry.

"Do you seal all deals like that?" Isis questioned with mirth in her eyes as she repeated his words from their first kiss.

"Nope, just deals with you," Terry replied laughingly. "You do realize that now I'm not going to let you go?" Terry said as he moved away from Isis so he could take her hands in his.

"I think I could live with that," suddenly remembering something about her Grandmama, Isis began to giggle lightly.

"What are you giggling at?" Terry asked while tilting his head slightly.

"I guess we're keeping the tradition," She replied between giggles.

"What tradition?"

"The tradition where Batman and Catwoman fall for one another," she said as she smiled up at Terry. Finally comprehending what she was saying, Terry gave a chuckle and shook his head gently.

"I just had to choose the random girl didn't I?" Terry said jokingly to Isis.

"Hey now, that's not nice," Isis pouted cutely. Shaking his head again, he took one of her hands and continued to walk down the road. Isis gave another giggle as she walked alongside Terry, smiling the entire time. All of a sudden Terry stopped, which made Isis look at him confusedly. "What's wrong Terry?" she asked.

"Um…where were we going again?" Terry asked as he looked sheepishly at Isis. Staring wide eyed at Terry, Isis burst out laughing. Realizing how silly the situation was, Terry joined her in laughing.

"You were walking me home silly," Isis said when she managed to reign in her laughter.

"Oh now I remember," Terry said and continued to walk towards the city with Isis in tow. After a while, Terry decided that holding Isis' hand wasn't good enough, so he let go of her hand. Isis didn't realize that he let go because she was off in her own little world, but she quickly was removed from her little fantasy when she felt his arm go around her waist and bring her into his side. Looking up at Terry, Isis gave a blinding smile and snuggled into Terry's side even more, both content with where they were.
