Part V to Softy.
This is the last part to Softy. Hopefully you all have enjoyed it. :)
Quick Disclaimer: The mentioned incident that Firefly and Ragdoll had with Batman and his sidekick came from an oneshot by Kohaku no Hime (aka: KoK), that can be found on her LiveJournal and here on fanfiction (it's called: What Would You Call It?). It's so humorous and adorable that I demand you go read it now. Like, right at this moment now. Before reading this. :)

"Where's Little Gangsta?"
"Where's Killer Claws?"
Firefly smacked Moth on the back of his head; Peter merely rolled his eyes at them and plopped himself down on the beaten up sofa. With the flick of his wrist he turned the TV on and started watching the Gotham News.
"He's at Selina's."
"OK," Firefly said slowly as he dropped himself in the armchair, "and you left him there because…?"
"She liked him. Plus he reminded her of her deceased kitty-cat."
"So… what'd she name him?"
Ragdoll shrugged, "I think she named him 'Rascals'." There was no way he'd admit to them what she had really named the little fellow.
To his right he heard Firefly scoff as he repeated the name in disbelief followed by a 'You've got to be joking' after it. "I told you that you shouldn't have gone to her to ask what to name the little guy! Now, not only has she catnapped him, but she's given him one of the stupidest names you can give a cat! … I knew I should have been more tenacious with Bats." A snort followed, "I bet even Boy Wonder would have thought of something better than 'Rascals'."
The triple-jointed contortionist was about to ask why he cared when it was he that complained after every failed heist that they needed to get rid of the feline. What he did, however, was glare at him for bringing up that horrid encounter that they had with Batman and his sidekick. It was still hard to believe that it hadn't been a nightmare of sorts and, worse of all, that he had been tricked. Next time Firefly requested for his help he was going to answer with a simple 'NO'.
Not too add that he wasn't sure if he could ever face Batman and that kid after that.
I had changed the ending a bit because I really adore KoK's oneshot and the idea of Firefly baiting the Bats. If you haven't already checked it out go to her profile page and click on her 'Homepage' it'll directly lead you to her LJ. I guarantee that you'll love it—especially if you've enjoyed the Softy mini-arc!
And KoK: Thanks again for that present! I've managed to get a rough sketch down on paper for the moment. :)
