-Eight And A Half Weeks Later-

"You're ready," those were the words Serenity had been waiting to hear since she started. Selina was training her everyday, in every way possible. Her whole life Serenity had never been put through anything like Selina had put her though this past two months. It had been demanding physically and mentally.

"The costume?" Serenity questioned tilting her head to the side, trying to tone down her excitement. She was particularly excited about the costume. She didn't want to copy Selina because Selina was the original Catwoman, and could never be truly copied. She wanted to make the costume slightly more new, slightly more her. So they based the look from one of comics that had been made about Selina.

"Finished," Selina said with a grin plainly seeing how much the girl wanted to do this.

"Now, lets suit you up so you have some time to break them in before you hit the museum tonight," Selina said enjoying how the girl practically tore her clothes off she was so excited.

Their laughs echoed off the walls and all the cats seemed to be in good spirits, seemingly knowing what they were so happy about.

The suit fit like a second skin, the new leather material was sleek, flexible but yet sexy. She was now wearing a skintight dark purple cat suit with a cowl covering the top part of her face, two tiny cat ears pointing out from the top. On her arms were long black gloves, complete with claws of course, and on her lean, toned legs long black boots that reached mid thigh.

At her waist was a small thin black belt that held her bag, which would be used to hold her loot and finally in her hand the deadly whip.

"I have something special, an old friend helped me out in getting these and they might just help you out a bit," Selina stated holding out a small box in her hand.

Serenity took it and opened it revealing two contacts. Two contacts that were gold with thin black slits down the center; cat eye contacts.

She removed her gloves with a grin. It took her a couple tries but Serenity finally got them in and let out a small 'wow'. At first it seemed like everything went out of focus before coming back into focus crisper and clearer, almost too clear. It was painful for a second but then it went away and she could see 100 times better than before. Every detail was crystal clear.

She looked down at her hands and noticed that she could now see every crevice and indent on her hands. She let out another small 'wow' before putting her long black gloves back on and flexing her fingers.

"Those will not only let you see further, and clearer in the dark, but have been specially adjusted to pick up high tech laser sensors or beams, the ones that are used to guard things in oh, lets say museums?"

Serenity smiled and Selina quickly embraced her before holding her at arms length.

"Damn," Selina whispered, "You look amazing."

"Thanks to you," she answered back.

"You remember the floor plans right?" Selina asked once more to which Serenity nodded with a laugh.

"Yup."

"I'll be on the laptop listening, so if you need me…" Selina trailed off to which Serenity nodded again.

The only technology on her suit was the receiver in the suit to the laptop. The intercom would let her communicate with Selina and the cat eye contacts would let her see everything else she needed. Serenity let out a deep breath before speaking.

"I'm ready," there was a long dramatic pause.

Both women knew that once she left the apartment there was no turning back. This was a symbolic moment for both of them. If she left that apartment then a new Catwoman was born, the old one finally being replaced.

"See you later," Serenity whispered before turning to the window and pulling the whip from her belt and into her right hand.

"Wait," Selina cried out rushing forward. Serenity turned and looked at her with confusion. She was almost scared that Selina had changed her mind about wanting her to go…

"You almost forgot Bastet."

Relief flowed through her veins as the black cat in question walked forward, knowing when she was being spoken about.

"I apologize," she said with a small grin before turning to the cat," Are you ready to hit the streets Miss Kitty?"

"Meow."

Serenity smiled a true Catwoman smile.

"I couldn't have said it better myself," and with that the cat jumped onto her shoulder.

Selina watched with a small grin as Serenity handled the whip with ease and flew out the window and into the night.

A new Catwoman had been born.

§§

Catwoman finally made it to the roof of the museum. She had practiced using the whip to get around in practice, but the actual feeling of flying through the sky without a care in the world was indescribable. When she put this suit on, it felt as though she were another person. She felt untouchable.

It was intoxicating.

She knew she wasn't ready to give Batman a run for his money, yet. She still had more training to do, but soon. Soon she'd be ready. Scanning the skyline she felt a thrill of something run through her before letting out a laugh.

"Alright, I'm here," Catwoman said touching the intercom in the suit right under her right cat ear.

..:Good, you made good time:..

Catwoman smirked.

..:Now, the ventilation shaft should be in plain site, don't forget the cameras oh and Catwoman…have fun:..

"Oh I will," she muttered making her way over.

She made quick work of the shaft and got into the museum, first fixing the cameras that were no problem for razor sharp claws. Shutting her eyes she pictured the blueprints in her mind, locating the correct route and room to where the prize was waiting for her.

Her eyes snapped open and she was on her way.

After locating the correct room she deftly dropped down onto the floor in a crouch position as she scanned the area. Miss Kitty gracefully jumped from her shoulder and landed neatly by her side, waiting. For this room she flipped the cameras around so they would face the wrong way, but were still on.

The contacts were a miracle; she could see every laser without hassle. She took a quick moment to study what she would have to do to get past them all before smirking.

"Are you ready Miss Kitty?" she purred before taking off at a run.

With speed and agility gained from training, she executed high-class maneuvers flawlessly, successfully got around the lasers and now stood in front of the glass case not even the slightest bit winded.

"The jade cat," she murmured with a grin, her eyes on the prize. Selina had explained the reason why she had chosen this exact statue to go after first. It was a sign. Batman, who Selina had yet to reveal whom it actually was, would know what it meant, the significance.

Her reflection caught her by surprise and she smiled. She hadn't looked to see what she looked like when she put the suit on. She had been too focused on getting this done right, but now that she saw herself. Damn, she didn't think she was pretty but now she looked hot.

But than again, probably anybody in a leather purple cat suit would be hot…

Smile still firmly intact she extracted her claws. With grace she cut a perfect circle into the glass case and pulled it out. With her other hand she carefully removed the jade cat and put it in her bag.

Selina had told her not to enjoy the prizes until after; there was a better chance of her not getting caught.

Meaning: don't peek until you get home.

With the jade cat securely in her satchel she turned to leave but stopped when she saw something shimmer out of the corner of her eye. In another case on the other side of the room was a gleaming statue of Bastet.

How could she refuse?

"Look Miss Kitty," she breathed with a wild glint in her eyes. What better way to make a splash than with not only one stolen artifact, but two.

"Wouldn't that be lovely?" she said with a smile. Miss Kitty meowed in agreement.

She eyed the lasers, studying where they fell and what angles she would have to perform to make it through without setting one off. She took into account that she now had a bag with the jade cat in it and that it would cause a slight difference in weight. She eyed it for another moment…it was workable.

She could do this.

Once again she took off at a run and managed to get through the borage of lasers. Also once again she found herself in front of a glass case, this time holding Bastet.

Once more she cut a perfect circle in the case before gently removing the second statue.

"Purrrfect," she purred placing the second statue with the first. Selina would be most pleased.

"Time to go Miss Kitty," she stated with a smile. The cat meowed and Catwoman laughed gaily. Now she had to figure out how to get out with two statues in her bag. That would make things slightly more difficult; one wasn't such a big weight difference, but two…

Miss Kitty meowed again and looked up at her with her piercing yellow eyes. Eyes that matched her own. She got an idea. She checked the lasers again and her smile widened even more.

The lasers were set so that somebody tall, or normal sized, couldn't be able to fit under at some parts. She turned to look at Miss Kitty who had a knowing look in her eyes. But that didn't mean somebody really short couldn't get through.

She un-strapped the bag from her waist, bent down, and gave the end to Miss Kitty.

"Meet you on the other side," she hummed before taking off and getting back over the lasers. It was a race, cat vs. catwoman. Within seconds she had fixed the cameras back to normal and were both back outside on the rooftop replacing the lid to the ventilation duct.

"Let's go home Miss Kitty," she stated pulling out her whip. Miss Kitty purred in agreement and rubbed her face against Catwoman's neck.

"Yes, you do deserve some extra milk tonight," she crooned to the cat before taking off once more into the night. A single word ringing in her head,

Success

Well, that and,

Meow

… okay, so maybe two words…

-Next Morning-

Serenity opened her eyes and groaned when the sunlight filtered through the windows and into her eyes successfully blinding her…what time was it? She squinted her eyes and looked over at the clock resting next to her.

10:15?

Selina let her sleep in? True she had been very, very pleased with what she brought home last night…maybe she decided to let her have the morning off?

She rolled out of bed and slowly sauntered into the living room. There she found Selina on the phone facing the other way. Probably on the phone with Uncle Harvey, she thought. Selina turned around and smiled when she saw Serenity. Selina then pointed towards the kitchen and Serenity turned and went in there.

On the kitchen table was the newspaper. Serenity slowly approached it with a curious look on her face. Attached to the newspaper was a small note in Selina's perfect flowing handwriting. She picked it up and read it quietly to herself,

"Good Job Darling,

First Night Out and

Famous Already."

Serenity frowned silently as she mulled over the words. Famous already? Her questions were answered when she peeled off the note and looked at the front page of the newspaper. A wide grin spread over her face and she read out loud the headline,

"Cat Burglar Strikes Museum," Below the headline was two pictures of the very empty glass cases.

She read the captions below the pictures,

"The priceless Jade Cat and the beautiful Bastet statue were stolen late last night from their cases at Gotham City Museum. No other artifacts were taken and the only clues found were the small glass circles cut from the glass cases as shown above."

Serenity laughed out loud, giddy that she made the paper, even if her name was omitted. She quickly read the article and smiled at the last line,

"Could we have a new Catwoman on our hands?"

"Yes," she murmured, "I think we do."

Selina's conversation from the next room floated to her ears,

"Yes, Harvey you HAVE to see today's paper…"

Silence for a moment,

"Fine, buy two, you just have to see it…"

Silence.

"Why, you ask?"

A long pause before Selina spoke with obvious pride in her voice,

"MY darling's on the front page!"
