"Hey there, Cat-bitch." Huntress told Vera as she finally caught up to the would-be Catwoman atop the roof of the clothing boutique, "Isabella". Vera looked at Huntress and began to purr seductively as she glared at her with a steady smirk.
"So we meet again, my fair Huntress. Tell me, what do I owe the pleasure of this encounter tonight?" Vera questioned with eager eyes.
"You've been tampering with the image of a person that meant a great deal to me. You have been impersonating Catwoman, a very good friend of mine." Huntress said with fire in her metahuman eyes. Vera began to laugh at Huntress' words.
"You fool. Why the hell do you think I dress in this getup? The skin-tight sexy leather, the whip, the mask; dammit I love Catwoman. Selina Kyle was the ultimate badass. By wearing this and doing what I do every night, I am honoring her legacy of thievery in New Gotham. Why don't you join me? We can raise hell in New Gotham all in Catwoman's name!" Vera said pleadingly almost but keeping all of her feistiness. To her surprise, it was Huntress turn to laugh.
"Trust me on this one, Cat-bitch. The real Catwoman would not have wanted her concept of living life on the edge manufactured like the way you are doing. It goes past everything she stood for." Huntress told her.
"Really? Then what was her motto?" Vera asked.
"That freedom is power. That's her copyrights, and it's not mine's and it sure as hell is not yours." Huntress said with bass in her voice. Vera sucked her teeth, and just looked in disdain at Huntress.
"You are a real joke, Huntress. But it's okay. With a little of the fisticuffs, then you'll be seeing things my way shortly." Vera said as she got into fighting stance.
"I've been waiting for this moment all day!" Huntress yelled as she quickly ran and lunged straightforward for Vera. Vera however, countered and threw Huntress with the use of her legs, but the heroine landed on both feet. It was now Vera's chance to strike, and she did so with the crack of her whip. Huntress however grabbed the whip and pulled Vera close to her and kicked her with all of the might she could muster up.
Falling backwards and almost landing downward onto the alley, Vera caught herself by digging her claws into the building's cement and climbing back up to the roof. However, she was just met with another hard punch via the hands of Huntress, who was going for broke this time. Vera on the other hand, had her turn to strike by connecting two solid kicks to Huntress' abdomen and face, and then flipping over her and using the whip to choke her.
"A lot of promise is what you have within, Huntress. A beautiful fighting spirit." Vera said as she tightened the grip of the whip as Huntress gasped for more air.
"Damn you!" Huntress managed to get out as she took control and broke free of Vera's grip. Punching the girl hard across the face once more, Vera rebutted with a rigid headbutt that weakened Huntress quite a bit. Taking a chance, Vera took Huntress and the two fell to the front of the Isabella Boutique after falling from off the rooftop. Though it was not a big fall, both combatants were writhing in pain from the punishment they were dishing out. Both getting up, they smirked at one another.
"Tired much?" Vera questioned.
"I'm just getting warmed up!" Huntress said as she and Vera walked toward each other, locking horns. Vera sought that it was necessary to get the edge on Huntress by attacking her with a knee kick to her face, and then adding insult to injury with a spin kick. Getting back on her grind, Huntress came with a missile style kick after using the streetlamp as her turning post. Vera fell backwards but then regained herself and gave Huntress a thunderous backhand slap that opened up a cut on her face.
"Damn, those talons are sharp." Huntress spoke lowly as she wiped the blood from her scratch. Grabbing Vera, she threw the girl into the glass front of Isabella Boutique, and Vera smashed some mannequins; which also helped her to break her fall. Huntress then pulled Vera back to the street and began to pummel her repeatedly until she felt like stopping. But that wasn't coming any time soon.
"This…" Huntress said with a punch.
"Will…" Punch.
"Teach…" Punch.
"You…" Punch.
"To…" Punch.
"Not…" Punch.
"Be…" Punch.
"A…" Punch.
"COPYCAT!" Punch.
This was it, Huntress lost it and Vera was all disheveled and hurt. Huntress slowly rose to her feet, with her vengeance taken and prepared to hand Vera off to the proper authorities. Until something unexpected happened. A batarang began to swish by ricocheting from the lamppost to Huntress' skull making her fall to the ground unconsciously. Catching the batarang was Dinah, who was clothed just as Vera was and she had the glimmering cat's-eyes to boot.
"I'm sorry for the wait. Mistress Bast sent me." Dinah said as she helped Vera up to her feet. Vera who looked alarmed scanned Dinah with her eyes.
"You're the new recruit? Dinah is that right?" Vera questioned.
"Yes. I am one of you now." Dinah said with a seemingly evil smile curving on her lips.
