Chapter 9 (Detective Work 101)

"Fatal?" echoed the Batman.

Catwoman nodded, "Fatal."

"How?" He tried to regain his Batman persona, but it was hard because he was so worried for Selina.

"Genetics, supposedly-I'm ok now… You can put me down- I wouldn't know my parents died when I was young, I was an orphan…" She steadied herself balancing delicately on her high heels.

"I know. I know something else too: someone in your condition probably shouldn't be running around in high heels", he crossed his arms.

"I have a reputation, can't let them know I'm weak."

"You a good girl now remember? Does it really matter anymore?"

She placed a hand on her head, "Uhm. Right. Old habits die hard, I guess."

"They'll die easy if you let them. Now let me carry you", Batman insisted.

Catwoman cocked her head, where had she heard that phrase before? Batman. He seemed for familiar but her head was spinning and, "Ok". Once in his arms, she felt so comfortable and safe, but again that familiar feeling plagued her, "We shouldn't be doing this I have a boyfriend…"

"Selina, we aren't doing anything, I'm carrying you, and that's all. You're weak, and I don't want you to get hurt. Now point me in the directions of the herbs…"

"Well… I don't know where they are. I mean you ARE the detective, I thought you'd figure it out."

"I had a feeling you were going to say that. But no way am I letting you out of my sight… Here's what I'm going to do… I'm going to blind fold you and take you with me to the Batcave ok?"

"Blindfold?"

"Just in case."

She sighed, "You don't trust me do you?"

"No."

"Fine then blindfold away!" She put her hand on her forehead in a classic femme fatal pose.

"Are you always this dramatic?" Batman smirked.

"I've been known to make a scene or two." Selina smiled back. Then she started twitching.

"Selina!" Bruce wasn't quite sure how he could… Then the twitching stopped, but Selina had passed out. "I guess a blindfold won't be necessary…" So he called the Batcar and placed her in the bat-seat (Ha bat-seat like back seat! Ha! Get it, get it?), and drove her to the Bat cave.

Later

Selina rolled over as she woke up, sadly there was no room for her to roll over because she was on a couch. She fell off the couch and hit the cold floor, "Oof."

"I guess Cat's don't always land on their feet… Are you ok?"

"Very funny. I'm fine. And so is the Batcave, very, very fine. No wonder you always find-I mean usted to find me-so quickly…"

"You should get back on the couch, Selina."

"Nope, I don't plan on lounging away the day on some couch in the middle of a cave."

"Not just any cave. It's the Batcave."

"I know, I know. Don't get your cape in a twist. The point is it's my life, we're dealing with and I intend on helping. I'm not just going to let you do all the work!"

"In your condition, I think it'd be best if you would."

"Condition? What condition? I barely even half a-agh!" She started twitching, lost her balance and felt back onto the couch, "Ok I'm seeing your point."

"You're a smart girl, I figured you would sooner or later." He laughed.

Selina put her head in her hand. That laugh. Where had she heard it before? It's her head would just stop spinning… Maybe she'd discover the secret identity of the Batman… It would be nice to know, after all these years of wondering. Then her thoughts turned to Bruce, her boyfriend, how would he feel if he knew that she was spending so much time with the Batman? Would he be jealous? She didn't see him as the jealous type…

"Honey-er-Selina, I found them… But you aren't going to like what I tell you…"

A/N: Ok I read another story that I want to combine with this story. I'll be adding a villain, who really is a batman villain, but I'm not sure if he'd in the cartoon… The point is he won't be a made-up. Because I don't want to use Catman like the first comic did… So please review with your ideas, and comments… Thanks!
