Catwoman hummed to herself as she slid through the bedrooms window. She didn`t even try to be quiet as she looked through the owners belongings, there was no need since she knew he wasn`t home. Well he would have, if she hadn`t gotten Super Boy to distract him. She knew it was cold, cruel even, but for the sake of her job she had no choice.
Long story short, she got an anonymous request this morning asking her to retrieve Kryptonite, in return the buyer promised to pay her handsomely. Of course Kryptonite was banned from school, but she knew Lex Luthor kept a private supply in his dorm room. Well actually, Batman also kept a supply in case of emergencies but there was no way she could manage to steal from him, so she settled for Luthors supply.
The plan was simple: get in, find his stash, grab a piece or two and get out. The only problem was that Luthor would be home tonight so she had to find a way to distract him and keep him out. After hearing about Super Boys predicament she knew she could use the clone to her advantage. To be honest she felt a bit guilty, but it was totally worth the reward waiting for her when she delivered this Kryptonite.
Speaking of which, the dorm room looked pretty empty. There was a simple bed, a desk and a bookshelf, it was about the size of any other room, but she knew he was hiding it here somewhere. Swiftly she began taking the room apart, removing all the books and emptying the drawers but there was still no sign of the stash. Feeling slightly defeated now, Catwoman took a step back and then paused when she felt something off. Slowly she crouched down on the floor, and knocked on the wood that she had been stepping on.
There was a hollow noise to it and she soon began tracing the edge of the board, slipping her gloved fingers in between the cracks and pulling it off. Jackpot. Underneath the board was a small little box, which she easily pulled out and opened. Inside it were at least a dozen shards ominously glowing a bright green colour: Kryptonite.
In a few quick moments the Feline Fatale opened up her back pack and gently slipped in two of the twelve shards before sealing the box and placing everything back to the way it was. For a moment she wondered if Super Boy was alright but then shook it off as she slipped back out the window and climbed onto the roof of the dorm building.
Without a moment to catch her breath the cat burglar pulled out her phone and texted the buyer, letting him now she had procured what he wanted and he replied by telling her to meet him at the front of the courtyard. Personally she wasn`t picky so the courtyard seemed like an alright location and on the plus side many few people wander there at night, so there was a low chance of someone seeing the transaction.
She had arrived in the courtyard in a matter of minutes by the looks of it her customer was already there: he was standing under a lamp with a dark hood pulled over his head and not a single other person nearby. She actually wasn`t curious to his identity, the only thing she really cared about was the money, and by the looks of it he had a briefcase in one hand: probably holding the cash.
"Well hello there darling." she purred, stepping into the lamp light "Is it just you?"
"Do you have it?" he asked seriously and bluntly.
"Of course I have it." she began unzipping her backpack "Do you have the money?"
Without hesitation he threw the briefcase on the ground directly in front of her, a stupid move really since she could easily grab it and make a run for it without giving him his share, but there was no point. No one else wanted Kryptonite and it seemed like a waste of time to return it to Luthors dorm, so willingly the cat burglar took out a small pouch with the two stones in it.
"Pleasure doing business with you." she concluded, dangling the pouch for a second before tossing it towards him and grabbing the briefcase. The stranger didn`t say another word, instead he turned away and slowly disappeared into the shadows, a very Batman-like thing to do. In fact she would`ve guessed it was the Dark Knight but she knew he did his dirty work by himself and there was no reason he`d need or want Kryptonite. It didn`t really matter though, she had the money and her customer was gone, everything fell into place perfectly.
The next morning felt like a breeze, her classes seemed quick and there was no sign of Super Boy: which was a good thing since Catwoman was sure the clone would want revenge for her setting him up. As she began strolling outside to catch up with Harley and Ivy, she couldn`t help but catch a glimpse of the Dark Knight and Wonder Woman talking in the halls. A pang of jealousy hit her, but she wasn`t sure why exactly. It was no lie that she was a little attracted to him, but she didn`t care enough to be jealous.
Shaking off the feeling, the feline fatale turned her attention back to finding her somewhat 'friends'. Of course there was no such thing as real friends in a world like this, just people that share your ideals and carry mutual benefits. By the time she got there the two were sitting on the wall and chatting away, without a greeting, Catwoman leapt onto the ledge too and sat beside them.
By the looks of it they weren`t too pleased to see her, but they didn`t say anything. Currently Poison Ivy was wearing her usual attire: a short sleeveless dress that barely reaches her thighs made entirely out of leaves. Harley Quinn on the other hand wore a sweater with her usual logo on it, matched with denim shorts. Unlike the other two, Catwoman was clad in leather, her shoes were combat boots, her legs covered with leather pants and her top dressed in a dark leather jacket. Even her hands were held together in leather gloves, in fact the only thing that wasn`t made of leather were the goggles holding back her short dark hair.
"Selina." Poison Ivy frowned, but her tone seemed polite enough "We were just talking about you, weren`t we Harley?"
"You bet." she replied with a huge grin, then suddenly pulled out her phone and began texting.
"Is something up?" Catwoman asked, glancing at Harley`s mad texting.
"It`s been five seconds since I texted Mr. J and he still hasn`t answered!" the mad jester replied, her tone making it seem like a serious issue.
Poison Ivy only rolled her eyes then turned to Catwoman, her nose twitching slightly.
"Oh come on Harley." Catwoman sighed "You seriously need to let go of that clown, he`s just abusive and I don`t think he even likes you that much."
"TAKE THAT BACK!" the mad lover yelled "My pudding does love me! He tells me things he doesn`t tell anyone, and he`s fabulous!"
"Besides Selina." Ivy smiled slyly "You really shouldn`t be giving romantic advice."
"What`s that supposed to mean?" the cat burglar glared at her.
"I mean you`ve never been in a relationship for more than a week, you really shouldn`t be giving advice." the deadly rose continued talking, her voice seemed so sweet but Catwoman could see the maliciousness in it "Take me for example, men simply adore me, I even charmed the Dark Knight once."
"At least I don`t have to poison men to get them to like me." the Feline Fatale scoffed "And what makes you think guys are into you? Please Pamela, nobodies into a psychotic fern who wants to turn the world into her own green house."
The deadly rose didn`t reply, instead a long and luscious vine sprouted out of the ground and wrapped around Catwomans leg, tightening its grip until it hurt.
"Ivy darling." the burglar struggled against the vine to no luck "I was just kidding."
After another moment of squeezing the vine retracted, and Ivy opened her mouth to say something but was cut off as Harley leapt off the wall and yelled out: "It`s been two whole minutes! My pudding needs me!"
And on that note the mad jester ran off, leaving the other two villainesses with an uncertain expression. The two glanced at each other for a second before Ivy gracefully slipped off the wall and began walking back indoors.
"No ba-bye?" Catwoman said in a teasing voice "Can`t say I`m disappointed."
"Don`t aggravate me Selina." Ivy muttered, as she continued walking away.
Now all alone the Feline Fatale stretched out her legs and leaned back, closing her eyes and thinking of all the things she could spend her money on. Expensive jewellery and dresses came to mind but she also thought about renovating her dorm room, maybe even buying new gear?
Suddenly something struck Selina in the back of her head, before she could react her vision began to blur and in a matter of seconds she was out cold.
Catwoman woke up to find herself hanging upside down, her legs bound by a chain that dangled from the ceiling. She wasn`t too high though, the ground was only a few feet below her. Desperately she glanced around herself, by the looks of it she was in some sort of warehouse, the walls were made of very old looking wood and the ground beneath her was concrete. She struggled for a while to see behind her and to her dismay found three masked men, sitting at a plastic table and playing cards.
"Hey!" she yelled at them "Let me down!"
"I wouldn`t count on them."
Caught off guard, Catwoman swirled herself around and came face to face with Mercy: Lex Luthors personal assistant and bodyguard.
"Well well." Catwoman purred, doing her best to seem fearless "Pleasure seeing you here, how`s the company? How`s Lex? You know these chains are a bit-"
"Enough." Mercy cut her off "Where`s the Kryptonite?"
"What Kryptonite?" the Feline Fatale smiled at her innocently, but the assistant didn`t give.
"The Kryptonite you stole from Mr. Luthor." on that note Mercy threw Catwoman backpack in front of her, the zip was open and it seemed to be empty.
"Snooping through my stuff?" the burglar faked a shocked expression "How rude."
"Enough games Selina! Tell me where it is, or else."
And to make her point more thorough, Mercy pulled her gun out of its holster and pointed it at a now nervous looking Catwoman. Originally the Feline Fatale planned on looking brave and completely unmoved by Mercy`s threats, but her pride wasn`t worth her life.
"Now, now Mercy." the burglar began "No need to get feisty, I`ll tell you what you want."
The assistant smirked and began to put her gun away when suddenly the lights went out.
"How`d you do that?!" she asked in surprise.
Catwoman didn`t answer, mostly because she didn`t do anything. Instead she remained silent and tried to listen since she couldn`t see a thing. She heard Mercy scream out but the noise went silent only a second after it was released. She heard gun firing, and fighting, but after a few moments it died down too.
The lights turned on.
"Today's just full of surprises isn`t it?" Catwoman muttered.
"You could say that." Batman replied, standing directly in front of her with the unconscious bodies of Mercy and her men surrounding him.
"Cut me down."
"First tell me where the Kryptonite is Selina."
"Excuse me?!"
"The Kryptonite. Talk. Now."
"I`m not scared of you."
"Alright." he turned and began walking away.
"I don`t need your help." she laughed, tightening her stomach and slowly flexing her back upward so she could take a look at the chains holding her legs. Carefully she grabbed the lock with her hands, examining the keyhole before turning to her belt for something to pick it with. That`s when she stopped, her belt wasn`t on her waist, instead it was lying on the plastic table that the guards were sitting at a moment ago.
"Wait!" she called out in dismay.
The Dark Knight stopped walking and turned halfway.
"I`ll tell you what you want, but let me down first." she insisted.
"Talk, first."
"Well aren`t you a gentlemen." Catwoman rolled her eyes but stretched back down into a hanging position "An anonymous buyer wanted me to grab him some Kryptonite from Lex`s stash so I snuck in and stole a piece or two. What can I say bats, a girls gotta shop."
"Who was the buyer?"
"Didn`t you hear me? I said anonymous. He didn`t leave a name and I never got a good look at him."
The Dark Knight didn`t reply, instead he turned away and continued walking.
"Wait!" Catwoman yelled "Free me?!"
"I see several ways you can get out of that."
"Well I don`t, now let me down."
Batman only stared at her for a moment before walking towards her again, pulling a batarang out of his belt and using it to cut the chains. Instantly Catwoman dropped into his arms and for a few seconds she blushed hot red before he put her down on her feet.
"Do you need me to walk you home too?" his voice seemed completely serious but she could sense the sarcasm in it.
"Very funny." Catwoman muttered, before grabbing her belt from the table and her backpack from the ground. Once she had collected all her items she turned to the Dark Knight, planning on giving him some sort of a thank you, but when she looked behind her: he was gone. Typical.
