35. meow

Not too far away, Catwoman was doing a series of flips and twirls away from Shreck's store. She was fast. Almost like lightning. She couldn't help but be amused by the scene in front of her. There was a cat, a bat and a penguin all in the same area. And she had shocked the bat and the penguin into silence. They said nothing to her.

She smirked.

"Meow."

They were lucky not to be caught in the explosion that followed.

Then, Catwoman vanished.

Oswald and Batman exchanged looks. The new Mayor wore a particularly nasty smile as he pulled out his umbrella. To the bat's surprise, he began to fly.

"I saw her first!" Oswald shouted before he was in mid-air. "Gotta fly!"

And then, he too vanished. The fabric of his umbrella fell onto the snowy ground.
