Her eyes took in every detail of the Juice Bar- from the closest exits, to the windows, to how many steps between floors, to how many people were currently dancing like there was no tomorrow- she took notice. By now it was instinct for her to do this before she entered any type of establishment, no matter for what purpose she was there for.

Many girls were there as well as guys from her school. Lots of jocks and airheads mostly, but that didn't really matter because she hadn't spotted her pointy eared prey yet. She was positive he was going to be here. She overheard him and Max talking during English class at school and knew for a fact they were going to be here tonight, which meant only one thing to her- it was time to make her move…play time.

A grin stole across her face.

Sweet Terry in that yummy bat costume and that deep growly voice. Who would have thought? She thought he was sweet and all, but Hero Complex? That was a new one to her. Hadn't he been a bad boy and been in Juvy…

Bad boy gone good? Wasn't that a cliché?

…But it did have a nice ring to it.

She scanned the room once more trying to a get a glimpse of his dark hair mingled in the crowd. Nothing. She didn't see him or his purple haired friend, Max.

She felt a thrill of excitement run though her as she noticed one guy look her over before continuing his trek across the room. She felt sexy tonight, which was unusual. Not that dressing as Catwoman didn't make her feel sexy, of course it did. How could it not? It was that she never felt sexy as Serenity. As Catwoman she embodied it, but as Serenity nobody ever gave her a second glance. But tonight that would all change; tonight she would give them all a taste of what they could never have.

The song Selina had given her was perfect, enough to mess with him and throw him off balance, just enough to cause doubt and confusion. He thought she was Catwoman, so it was time to throw him off the trail, and place him back on it at the same time. Confuse him, and then pounce on him when he was weak…metaphorically speaking of course…

Her grin widened, of course. Ironically her spine tingled just at that moment. That tingle could only mean one thing; it was her Batman tingle.

She turned her head slightly and spotted his tall broad figure walk in with Max. She knew that he would try and find her. He didn't know that she knew, but he would. And Max, well, that was interesting thought. Serenity wasn't sure if Max knew Terry's little secret or not. She would assume that she did though just because they seemed very close, you could tell there was a bond between them. And now, come to think of it, she could remember how Max used to make excuses for Terry to Dana when he couldn't be found or missed dates.

Serenity's eyes brushed over Max's form, sizing the girl up. Max was one of the smartest people in her school, if not the smartest. She would be a good person if Terry ever needed somebody on his side…and she was loyal- a major plus. THAT she respected, loyalty. A thought came to her suddenly that would make her plan even better. Her eyes glimmered slightly as she watched the pair talk and walk around the room casually glancing here and there; no doubt looking for her…She had something special in mind for Max.

This was going to be lots of fun and she already felt streaks of excitement run through her body.

Serenity straightened out her leather pants and brushed some of her long golden brown hair out of her face. Her makeup and been done by Selina personally, that in itself guaranteed to be promising. Her eyes were rimmed in black and her lids powdered in white. Her lips were shinny and her eyes piercing. The black bodice she was encased in was tight and trimmed in white vines, simply beautiful. Her boots made her taller than normal, which in turn made her feel predatory.

She had to make sure it looked like she didn't see him; she had to keep playing innocent, for a little while longer at least. She got that tingle up her spine and knew that he spotted her. She looked around the room trying to look lonely, and tapped her fingernails on the tabletop next to her, the soft sound being drowned out by the pounding of the music.

Just as she planned it she felt them approaching her and she turned to 'look around' some more and 'spotted' them. A grateful smile came over her features.

"Hey," Serenity said nodding to Max and then to Terry. They both looked at her and she could distinguish the guarded stares. They were trying to appear nonchalant, but she could read them. This only helped prove that Max was in on Terry's little secret.

"Wow," Max said with a smile, "You look really different."

"Thanks, I've decided to live a little tonight," she replied turning to scan the Juice Bar again. Serenity was impressed with the way that Max sounded so natural...she must have done this before. She fought back a grin as she turned back around to them and gave a sheepish look.

"I feel kind of ridiculous actually," she said looking at Terry but flicking a glance to Max.

Actually, she felt amazing.

"You look good," he stated and she smiled a genuine smile. He almost sounded like he meant that too…Or did he mean it? She slowly eyed him and almost purred out loud, tight black tee shirt that seemed to fit him snugly with black pants. Did she ever mention she liked a guy in black? His arms looked especially nice tonight…

"You guys going to dance?" she asked changing subjects with raised eyebrows. She had to focus tonight and not get caught up on other things, no matter how tempting they were. The pair both looked at each other before shaking their heads in the negative. They asked her and she shook her head 'no' too. They were quiet a long moment. The sounds of the pounding dance music reverberating off the walls.

"SO, why did you come tonight?" She wasn't really paying attention to who asked but turned to pierce them with her gaze.

"Decided to face a fear of mine," they looked confused until she elaborated, "Karaoke night."

"What brought that up?"

"If my brother was still alive he would have simply told me to 'suck it up and get over it'…so I am."

Silence.

That wasn't what they expecting at all…Good.

"Oh wow, well, good luck." Max said with a mixed look on her face.

"What are you singing?" Serenity turned to Terry and smiled a mischievous smile, "You'll just have to wait and see."

The night wore on, and the group made lots of small talk with each other. Terry and Max thought that Serenity was Catwoman; Serenity knew that Terry was Batman, and also knew that Max knew that Terry was Batman. But Terry and Max didn't know that Serenity knew.

Confusing?

Just a little bit.

A noise sounded from the front of the room and the DJ began speaking over the noise of the crowd. Finally it was the time she had been waiting for all night.

"Who's going to be our first singer for this evening?" and Serenity made her way up there before anyone could even have the chance.

The DJ gave her a once over, "What's your name beautiful?"

"Serenity," she answered smoothly and the guy smiled at her.

"And what Serenity she is, what song did you want to sing," instead of saying it out loud she leaned up and whispered it to him. He paused for a moment before searching for the right song. It was an old one.

He gave her a nod and a wink, "Alright," he spoke into the microphone, "Here's Serenity."

A song began to play and the music was seductive and lulling. Her eyes locked on Terry's and she refused to look away, not for the opening words.

"Face to face

My lovely foe,"

Terry felt his eyes widen at she crooned the song out. It sounded as though she was speaking directly to him. This song was for him.

"Mouth to mouth
Raining heaven's blows,"

Her voice, all though not perfect, had a certain quality to it that seemed to suit the song.

"Hand on heart
Tic tac toe
Under the stars
Naked as we flow,"

A hand came up and she trailed it down her cheek and over her lips.

"Cheek to cheek
The bitter sweet
Commit your crime in your deadly time,"

She turned her head away from him, breaking their gaze. She shut her eyes and clenched a fist tightly.

"It's too divine
I want to bend
I want this bliss but something says I must resist,"

Her eyes returned to his and she stroked the mike as she sang before running her hands down her sides.

"Another life
Another time
We're Siamese twins writhing intertwined,"

She grabbed the mike with both hands,

"Face to face
No telling lies
The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise,"

Terry couldn't breath. There she was up there singing directly to him. This was such a clear sign that she knew he knew she was Catwoman. A grin formed on her face as she looked around the crowd in front of her. A group of jocks, including Nelson, had now made a spot right in front of her as she sang.

"You never can win
It's the state I'm in
This danger thrills and my conflict kills,"

She ran her tongue over her lips causing many catcalls and whistles.

"They say follow your heart
Follow it through
But how can you
When you're split in two?"

She bent down and grabbed Nelson's face gazing at him deeply with a Catwoman grin on her face. Nelson, the guy who she put face down into the floor at the movie theaters, Nelson, the guy who had never looked twice at her was now opening drooling over her…there was that one exception at the movies where he couldn't remember she had a face above her chest, but still… Her eyes were laughing at the jock as she sang.

"And you'll never know
You'll never know,"

She let go of his face and stood back up running a hand through her hair and down her side to rest on her hip. Terry immediately noticed the parallel between the pose she was doing now and a Catwoman pose.

"One more kiss
Before we die
Face to face
And dream of flying,"

She pointed right to Terry,

"Who are you?"

She lingered on him for a moment before sweeping her arm across the mass of people grinding and gyrating in front of her in an arch. To him and her, it was a daring and bold move, but only to him and her. Nobody else seemed to notice anything amiss.

A feeling of vulnerability ran through her as she ran a hand down her front singing the next words,

"Who am I?"

Terry sat frozen to his seat; beside him Max was watching with worry. As much as she hated to admit it Terry seemed to like Catwoman, and if Catwoman was Serenity, which it was turning out to look like, that could be a problem. He was starting to look attracted to Serenity the girl too. If he got attached to a bad guy that couldn't lead to anything good. Did they learn nothing from history?

Bats and Cats don't mix well.

He was startled awake when his pocket vibrated against his leg and he pulled out his phone, already knowing who it was. "Yeah?"

"McGinnis, suit up,"

"Now?"

"There's a theft in progress at the museum again, Catwoman."

Terry felt the noise of the room begin to slowly fade as his brain made sense of the last word that Wayne said. Who did he just say? There was no way…it couldn't be…could it? He frowned but hesitantly rose from his seat, eyes on the woman on stage. If she was here…

"Wind in wings
Two angels falling
To die like this
With a last kiss
It's falsehood's flame
It's a crying shame,"

She threw her head back, her long hair spilling like a waterfall behind her. As she sang she felt like a weight was being lifted from her shoulders. She felt lighter, airier. Selina said this would be therapeutic for her, and once again Selina proved to right. Was Selina ever wrong nowadays?

Did she just feel a pang of annoyance at that last thought?

"Face to face
The passions breathe
I hate to stay but then I hate to leave,"

Terry hesitated as he rose from his seat, 'I hate to stay, but then I hate to leave?' That was a weird coincidence if he ever saw one…what were the chances that he would get his phone call to leave as she was singing those words? But than again this song was a weird coincidence…was it a coincidence? He turned to tell Max he was leaving when she was already looking at him expectantly. She knew without him telling her, but she would never guess whom he was going to go apprehend.

Serenity shut her eyes and her singing seemed to fade away into nothingness.

"And you'll never know
You'll never know...
You'll never know…"

The silence was filled with the roaring of the audience as they cheered and clapped like madmen. Serenity didn't really remember what happened after that, she knew lots of guys started talking to her but she couldn't concentrate on that.

Her thoughts were mixed. Maybe she had gone too far in this, revealed too much. 'Maybe not enough,' a part of her hissed in her mind. She shook herself free of the mindless jocks and began her search for Terry. Part one of the plan should have been set into motion.

Her eyes immediately went to the table where the pair had been sitting and saw it bare.

Just as she had hoped, he was gone. He pulled his disappearing act like usual, perfect. She smiled before slipping out herself and pulling her cell phone out. She turned making sure nobody was following her, put her phone up to her ear, and walked off into the shadows- her voice disappearing into the darkness,

"Part one accomplished, get ready for part two."
