Doctor Logan groaned as he regained consciousness. The first thing he had heard was the radio as it blared out the 6 o'clock news.

"And still at large is The Animi after her escape from Arkham Asylum. The Gotham Police Department has issued a statement saying she is armed and dangerous. Any civilian who sees The Animi is not to approach her but to contact the GCPD immediately." The announcer said.

Kat turned to Doctor Logan as he had groaned and grinned from the shadows of her laboratory. She had been sitting there for a good part of the day, reading and drinking tea.

"Dr. Tailer! What are you going to do to me?" Dr. Logan screamed as he tried to wriggle out of the heavy leather belts that bound him to the wooden chair.

"Oh stop screaming!" Kat yelled back, silencing him. "And it's The Animi, get it right! But good to see you are alive, how's your head?" she finished politely.

Dr. Logan's gaze followed the sound of Kat's voice the where she sat in the shadows. The dim light illuminated only her childish smile making her invisible bar her Cheshire cat grin.

Upon the mention of his head Dr. Logan suddenly became aware of the throbbing pain. "It feels like it has been split open." He moaned.

"Well Doc, that's because it was," she smirked, getting up from her comfortable armchair and sauntered over to the test chair. "You lost a lot of blood; I had to stitch you up. You were out for a day. Never knew a rock could do that much damage." She laughed. "But still, on to the main event!"

"What are you going to do to me!" he asked again. "Please don't kill me I have a wife, a daughter!"

"Family?" Kat looked him in the eye. "All you're worried about is your family?"

Doctor Logan nodded, tears coming to his eyes.

"I had a family once," Kat said quietly. "But few of them understood me." Guilt swelled inside her. "The only ones who thought me sane were my parents, they were very supportive, and my brother, and he died. He died because I couldn't save him."

"You blame yourself?" He sniffed, suddenly a physiatrist again.

Kat nodded sadly, "Of coarse I do, but it is none of your business." she added sharply turning sharply away from her doctor to go to her workbench. "I have an excellent idea, let's change the subject! What do you think of my new outfit Doc?" Kat twirled on the spot.

She was wearing a pair of tattered shorts on top of a pair of torn striped tights. She also wore a black tank top, fingerless gloves and Doc Martin boots.

The two most noticeable features of her outfit was her long lab coat, which had blood stains on it, and the pendant around her neck. It was a spherical orange jewel with black streaks through it, like her hair and tail.

"Admiring the Tiger Stone I see," Kat grinned as she fiddled with the chain that held it around her neck. "I stole one night with some other things to flog but I just couldn't resist keeping it."

"You still haven't answered my question…Animi." Dr. Logan said sternly. "What are you going to do with me?"

Kat advanced upon Dr. Logan, grinning like a mad man. "I intend to make you better, more evolved, like me! And if that doesn't work you'll be dead." She laughed at the look of shock on Dr. Logan's face.

Again she turned and made her way to the work bench. Looking over to the array of equipment on it she spoke to Dr. Logan, "I think that, considering the loss of blood, that it would be better to give a small dosage." Her hand hovered over a small syringe. "But better safe than sorry!" she grinned as she picked up one that was three times the size of the small syringe. Next she moved on to the small selection of altered DNA. "Let's see…wolf? No…tiger? Nope…black panther? Nah…bear? Hell no…ah! Perfect!" Kat filled the syringe with an odd looking green liquid. "You like the Rat Race right?" she turned to Doctor Lagan smiling, syringe in hand.

"Don't do this Animi!" he screamed again as she walked over to him and took hold of his bare fore arm. "You're crazy!"

"Tell me something I don't know!" she giggled at him.

"I have a family, think of my little girl!" he sobbed as Kat swabbed his arm with disinfectant.

"Family is over rated," she grinned putting down the swab.

"But an amount of chemicals that size will kill me!" he yelled again.

Kat stopped what she was doing and looked him straight in the eye. "That's kind of the idea!" she laughed again as she continued to prepare the needle.

Upon piercing the skin he screamed making Kat shriek with laughter. Injecting the green serum into his blood stream, the volume of his screaming intensified, almost drowning out the crashing of a window. Almost.

Kat dropped the empty syringe to see the caped crusader standing there.

With Dr. Logan shrieking uncontrollably behind her, Kat sighed angrily. "You again! I'm a little bust at the moment!" Kat yelled at the Batman, exasperated.
