A thump was heard across the cell line. Danny continues to fiddle with the equipment in front of him ignoring the familiar sound of Selena leaving the apartment. Sam listening from the Fenton phone ask, "What was that noise Danny?"

Danny adjust the phone to speaker mode and replies, "Ah, it's just Selena leaving for work."

Danny gets up from the floor to turn on his bedroom lights no longer concern that Selena will see him awake reassembling some of the Fenton products.

Incredulously Sam remarks, "Work? At 1:30 in the morning?" Danny hums back and clicks a piece together.

"She sometimes leaves at night for work."

"What does she do Danny?"

Danny pause to think of an answer and shrugs, "I don't know."

"You don't know? Like doesn't she go to work at some office?"

"Something on the computer, but sometimes she has to leave at night."

"Don't you find that weird Danny?" Sam concerned voice asked.

"She says she's a contractor." Danny voice becomes guarded. Sam notes this and carefully ask, "She did not tell you?,"

"No she told me but I keep forgetting. " Danny bites his lips. Sam shuts her mouth. She's aware that Danny has previous struggled with paranoia after the many ghost attacks and that he has come to a point where he can trust Selena but she worries his attitude in trying not to be paranoid can cause him harm.

Sam takes a deep breath, "Okay that's fine. Just do me a favor Danny. Wait for her to return. Say you woke up and decided to wait up for her. Next time we talk you can tell me her job okay? Sorry if I'm being pushy Danny I-I just really care for you and I hate for your relationship with her to go sour after everything you mention to be about her. Ah, I ruined the mood of our late night call huh?"

Danny lets out a breath, "No, I get it Sam. When you get to Gotham I hope to introduce you guys and Sam as I stated before you will love some parts of this city. Anyways don't you have a test tomorrow? you should go to sleep."

"Danny it's you that have a test tomorrow, speaking of which did you even finish your homework?"

Danny glances at the empty worksheet on his desk. He gives an embarrassed laugh, "Eh well I better get on that then, Night Sam"

"G'Night and good luck on your Test Danny." The call ended.

Danny sighs and glares at the homework sheet and looks down at the metal piece in his hand. 'Eh not the first homework I don't do.' He continues to ignore the homework and waits for Selena's return.


Selena returns back home annoyed and agitated. She soundlessly pulls herself up onto the fire escape. Her right shoulder throbs after her altercation with security guards. It is but a minor consequence in comparison to the alternative of allowing the guards to raise alarm of her intrusion. Her nimble fingers disassemble the window traps and alarm. She silently pry open the window cradling the wall when her ears prick to the sound across the room. Her clawed hand instantly reach for the lamp and with a click light illumes her living room. Across from her stood Danny wearing NASA pajamas and his blue eyes widen as he gazed at her costume. 'Great' Selina lets out a deep sigh and motion her hand to the chair in front of her.

"Sit."

Danny hastily sat down in the dark amber leather chair. His eyes took in her leather clad suit and the black whip she placed on the glass coffee table. Selena pulled off her goggles revealing narrow emerald eyes. Her headpiece is then pulled back showing her midnight black hair and she runs her clawed fingers through her sweaty hair in agitation. She takes the chair opposite from Danny and both stare at each other in silence contemplating what to say.

Selena taps her nails against the armrest and speaks, "...Let's be honest with each other. Enough with the secrets and tip toeing around one another. God, it's too stressful and tiring to continue."

Danny opens his mouth, but with a sharp finger Selena gestures for silence.

"Shh, I wasn't done. I'm well aware that something beyond the usual teenage angst and brooding is happening. I've lived in Gotham my whole life, and you my boy are one of the worst liars I have ever met. It's actually quite embarrassing."

Danny's face turns a slight pink, he sputters out. "What? Why didn't you say anything about it?"

Selena making eye contact states, "I don't like to be a hypocrite. Also I wasn't sharing everything with you either."

Selena takes a deep breath and reveals, "So as you can see, hi I'm Catwoman."

Danny in shock asks, "You're Catwoman. So are…are you a villain?"

Selina avoiding Danny's gaze looks away up towards the ceiling . "If I'm being honest I'm not a good person. I'm not just a villain but a supervillain. I've been a mob boss and I'm still a thief. I try to do good but life doesn't let me. I do more crimes than you do your homework." She gives a weary smile to Danny.

Danny brows furrows as he internally mulls over what she said. He notice how her hands has tighten into a fist and her body slightly hunches in. Though her expression reflect calmness her unconscious mannerism show her nervousness. He gazes back at her and replies, "It's easy to be labeled a villain, I get it" Danny recalled the press and his parents yelling about the need for the Phantom to be captured. "but I don't believe you're an evil person. I've met evil so don't say you're like them."

Selena rolls her head over, her bright green eyes watching her son. She ponders and analyze his statement. She then crouches, takes a deep breath and points her finger towards Danny, "Your turn, what's your secret?"

Danny grips his hands and whispers "okay," letting a change pass through his body. The same color green eyes stare back at her only glowing. His hair turns white and his clothes change to a black hazmat suit.

"So, hi I'm Phantom."
