Yet another horrid songfic. A friend requested a Catwoman songfic, so here it is, although not quite like he wanted it. ;) The song used is Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life) by Pam Tillis. Yes, it is a country song.

Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life)
She watched from the rooftop as the exchange took place. She had been stalking this new ring of thieves since they made their first appearance last week. She would have stopped them sooner, but she wanted to catch them all at one time. Tonight's meeting would have all of them in one place. Definitely not the smartest idea, but no one ever said thieves were smart. She laughed inwardly at the thought, had she not also been a thief at one time? Was she still one? Someone had compared her once to Robin Hood, she never got more of a laugh than when thinking about that. Not that any of it really mattered right now. These thugs had robbed a party of Gotham's finest a few nights before, and tonight the exchange of goods would be made.
If you're coming with me you need nerves of steel
Cause I take corners on two wheels
It's a never-ending circus ride
The faint of heart need not apply
As the bags changed hands, she made her move. Leaping from the rooftop, she nimbly controlled her descent through flips. As she landed, she inflicted a series of punches and kicks on her nearest opponents, sending them to the ground. Moving quickly and with cat-like skill and grace, she disarmed and disabled several more. Dodging the bullets of her remaining foes, she lashed out with her whip, leaving a few thugs holding their wrists.
"Who's next, boys?" She engaged the remaining thieves as a dark form joined the battle. "I was wondering when you would arrive." She said as she kicked one of the thugs.
"Hrn." He replied, sending two opponents to the ground.
"Well, aren't you the talkative one tonight?" She said seductively. She looked over her shoulder as her last opponent fell. Ensured that Batman was busy, she grabbed the small bag of loot and took to the rooftops. Tying the bag to her waist, she jumped from rooftop to rooftop, weaving this way and that.
Mi vida loca over and over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
"You are aware that by taking that, you are stealing. Those jewels belong to someone else." Batman said, finally catching up to Catwoman.
"Yeah, but their original owners won't even miss them. And can you imagine the tax write off?" Catwoman said as she flipped through the air to land on another rooftop.
"That doesn't matter, Selina. Give me the jewels."
"Come and get 'em, Handsome." She said smiling playfully. Batman grunted and walked towards Catwoman. As he reached for the bag on her hip, she lashed out at him, scratching his face as she cartwheeled out of his way.
Sweetheart before this night is through
I could fall in love with you
Come dancing on the edge with me
Let my passion set you free
They stood on the edge of the building, blocking each other's various attacks. "This is getting old, Selina."
"And here I thought you were enjoying yourself."
"Return the jewels."
"There are plenty of people in the East End that could use this money."
Batman fixed his classic Bat-Stare on Catwoman as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Here in the firelight I see your tattoo
Mi vida loco, so you're crazy too
Mi vida loca over and over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
Matching his stare, Selina relaxed her face and lowered her eyes to the side. Reaching for the bag, she unhooked it from her belt. Returning her eyes to Batman, she handed him the bag of jewels.
"Thank you." Was his terse reply as he took the bag and secured it to his own belt.
"One more thing." Underneath his mask, Batman raised an eyebrow. Smirking, Selina moved closer to him. Reaching up, she gently stroked the side of Batman's mask before resting her hand on the side of his face. She leaned closer and their lips touched, her mouth over taking his. Batman returned the kiss as his arms wrapped around her waist. In the distance, fireworks from a boating party decorated the night sky. Pushing herself away from Batman, Selina smirked as she purred, "Might as well get something out of tonight." Leaning back she fell off the roof, her whip wrapping around a gargoyle as she swung away. Batman followed her with his eyes a moment before turning to leave.
As the sun began to rise over the skyscrapers, Selina entered her apartment. "I take it you didn't have a good night." Selina looked up to find her long-time friend, Holly, waiting on her.
She smiled broadly as she stretched. "Hmm…you'd think that, wouldn't you?" She said holding up a jeweled necklace and matching rings. "Once a thief, always a thief." Nonchalantly she walked towards the adjoining bathroom. "But that wasn't even the best part…"
We'll go where the wind blows
And I'll be a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
