The small car screeched to a halt a few blocks away from the bio-chemistry laboratories. Quickly Kat unclipped her seatbelt and opened the door to get out, "Well come on then!" she grinned to the two passengers.

Shego and Dr. Drakken stumbled out of the car, "I think I'm going hurl!" Shego complained, clutching her stomach and leaning on the bonnet of the car beside Dr. Drakken.

"Oh relax! I know it was a bumpy ride but we had to get here quickly before the Bat got whiff of me being near the Iceberg Lounge." Kat grinned at the two of them as she inspected the car, just a few dents and scratches, nothing major.

"This is it?" Dr. Drakken looked up at the battered building in front of him.

"Oh no, this is an old warehouse, we need to walk the rest of the way. Just in case" Kat told Dr. Drakken.

"In case of what?" he asked

"In case of rodent problems." Kat answered flatly, "But come on, it's just a little way away."

"But why?" Drakken whined.

"Like I said rodent problems," Kat told him again. "Keep close, this is a shady neighbour hood, most of these petty criminals wouldn't think twice about shooting you dead and taking your wallet."

"Oh and they wouldn't with you?" Shego laughed sarcastically.

Kat turned to face her, "No they wouldn't try to kill one of Gotham's strongest and most dangerous criminals, especially when another two of Gotham's insane criminals are waiting for her to make breakfast." Kat turned and started walking to the Bio-Chemistry labs her guests following behind her. "OK here we are," Kat grinned as they passed a wire fence with a sign saying 'Condemned' strapped to it.

Shego and Dr. Drakken hesitated at the gate, "Are you sure it is safe?" Drakken asked.

"Of coarse, now hurry up and you can be out of Gotham before the sun is up" she assured them as she kept walking to the weathered door and opened it. The door creaked eerily as the three stepped through the door into a hallway. Somewhere in the building something seemed to be whistling, "Crap. Now they're both up, well come on time you meet some of the family," Kat giggled leading Dr. Drakken and Shego down the halls where there was a faint smell of baked goods wafted down the corridor.

"What do you mean family?" Shego asked Kat suspiciously.

"The Gotham City Rouges." Kat announced proudly. "Gotham's most dangerous and insane criminals that are being hunted by the Bat." She explained seeing the confused looks she was getting.

Suddenly Kat stopped beside a door, listening closely she could hear quiet speaking from behind it. "In here." She told them opening the door to reveal two men sitting at the small dining table playing chess, a tiger sitting beside the smaller blonde one, and a black panther sitting beside the auburn haired taller one. "Good morning gentlemen," Kat smiled as Little Wolf came bounding up to her. Bending down to greet him with a hug, Dr. Drakken and Shego nervously stepped in to the room.

Standing Kat introduced the two men playing chess, "May I present Jervis Tetch or The Mad Hatter and Jonathan Crane or The Scarecrow. Guys this is Dr. Drakken and Shego."

Upon seeing the guests enter the room Jervis leapt up to be hospitable as was the British way that both he and Kat had been taught. He shook Drakken and Shego's hands before he moved over to the stove where a pot of tea was brewing, "Tea?" He asked politely.

"Um, no thank you." Dr. Drakken replied timidly. Shego simply shook her head.

Kat walked to the other side of the table taking off her lab coat, put it over the back of her seat and sat down, and motioned for their guests to do the same, "No need to be frightened, we don't bite." She smiled and noticed them looking fearfully at the wild cats and wolf. "Raj, Sonja, Little Wolf! Be polite and say hello." Kat scolded them and the wild animals got up and said hello in their own little ways. Little Wolf, the youngest of them, jumped up onto them yipping and barking, Sonja, the only girl and most sensible, gracefully brushed her black pelt against their legs before returning to Kat's side and Raj, the oldest and gruffest, simply pushed them both with his striped head and then he to returned to Kat's side leaving Little Wolf to run around everyone's ankles, especially Jervis' as he brought over hot tea for himself and Kat and freshly baked scones for everyone.

"Oh you little brute," Jervis playfully scolded Little Wolf as he begged for a scone. "There you go but that's all you're getting." He told him as he threw down a scone that Little Wolf gulped down immediately.

"So," Jonathan finally spoke up, "Why are you here?"

"Um…well… Kat invited us to give us the Molecular Deregulator….that you have lying around," Shego answered stuttering slightly, not knowing why she felt so frightened of these people.

"She did, did she?" Jonathan turned to look at Kat.

"We're done with it aren't we? So I thought to myself be nice to Oswald's clients after he called me at 1am for nothing in turn waking up you two, well at least you." She told Jonathan quickly ending this small rant with a sip of milky Earl Grey.

"Again? What did that Jabberwock do this time?" Jervis sighed

"Nothing really, he just didn't read the Doctor's notes, I lost my temper and well… at least he isn't …" Kat stopped mid sentence and sniffed the air, quickly she growled to the wild cats by her side, asking them if they smelt that. On their reply Kat quickly stood and pulled the lab coat of the back of her seat, still sniffing, "Hatter, Scarecrow." Kat addressed her two friends by their aliases. "Go make yourselves presentable, we have unexpected company."

Jonathan and Jervis were immediately out of their seats and heading to the door, "Meet us at the Main Lab," Kat told them as she pulled on the coat, "You two come with me," she told Dr. Drakken and Shego before turning and growling to the animals who were now at her heals as she walked on grabbing a gun off the counter top, just in case.

"As they walked down the hall she was bombarded with questions from Dr. Drakken and Shego, mostly immature ones from Dr. Drakken.

"Where are we going?" asked Dr. Drakken

"The Main Lab," Kat answered shortly

"Why?" he asked again

"That's where the noise came from," She replied

"How did you hear that?" he pressed.

"Animal senses." Kat was getting tired of this.

"How did you get them?" He inquired.

"It's my job, my life's work, if you're lucky you'll get to see me working." She answered.

Finally a sensible question came up from Shego, "Is it the Bat?" she asked.

"No," Kat stopped out side the door to the Main Lab and inhaled deeply. "It's younger than the Batman." Kat put her finger to her lips as she slowly opened the door, "Hello?" she called. The only answer from the large dark room was a shuffle of boxes and the unmistakable 'eep' of a young boy, Kat chuckled darkly and bent down and whispered to the three animals. "Fetch."

They bounded off towards the direction that the 'eep' had come from and surrounded a large pile of old boxes. Together they assumed the hunting crouch and leaped into the pile of boxes. Kat heard the same young boy scream again and the defiant grunts of someone trying to fight back as she saw the tail of a tiger emerging from the boxes, Raj was pulling a red headed girl from out of the boxes by the bottom of her beige combat trousers. He was soon followed by Sonja, pulling out a blonde boy with beige combat trousers, the same as the girl. And finally came Little Wolf, a pink creature dangling, still alive, from his jaws. Raj stopped at Kat's feet the girl still struggling ferociously, Kat bent down so she was able to get a closer look at the girl, "Who are you?" she asked suspiciously.
