Catwoman, Batman, & Gordon

Catwoman-

When Nami and Catwoman reached the police department, Nami wanted to scope the place out first. She was surprisingly cautious for a pirate; Selena liked that even if it chaffed a little. They watched Gordon wait beside Batsignal from the roof across the street. Selena ignored the cop for the most part. She stared up at the bat symbol in the clouds, thinking about the man it represented. Batman was like catnip to her and she couldn't seem to stay away.

"Who's that?" the pirate asked, pointing at the older man.

"Commissioner Jim Gordon of the Gotham City Police," Catwoman explained. "But he's not the one we're here for. Let's wait until Batman shows himself." She stretched out on the edge, lounging like a cat in a sun beam, waiting for something to happen.

"Police are not really my favorite people," Nami shivered. "How will I tell if Batman show's up?"

"He's kind of hard to miss," Catwoman laughed. "He's tall, dark, and handsome. Plus he'll be the man wearing a cape and cowl with poiny ears."

"Sounds like an interesting man," Nami said. "And he'll help me?"

"Of course. The man is a hero, he can't help himself. However he has no tolerance for crime, so remember to keep quiet about being a pirate."

Across the street, Batman appeared over the edge of the roof and started talking to Gordon. Beside her, Nami snorted. Catwoman shot her companion a look of confusion.

"I won't need to hide that I'm a pirate, Catwoman," Nami explained, pointing across as the third figure on the roof. "That is my captain and he can't lie to save his life. He probably introduced himself as the 'the man who will be king of the pirates.' He's so hopeless sometimes."

"You have to be joking," Selena teased and nudged her new friend. Nami just shook her head. "Seriously? Wow, why do you follow him?" She would never follow a fool like that; she walked alone.

"Luffy isn't easy to explain. He's the captain, that all we need to know," Nami shrugged. "Are we ready to break up their party?"

"Of course," Catwoman said as she reached for her whip. "Cover us again and I'll come out first. You follow once we're sure it's safe." She winked. "Can't let me new friend get arrested."

"I'm a pirate, safe doesn't really come into it."

By the time they made it to the roof, there was another man with a hilariously long nose that seemed connected the mysterious Luffy. What did Nami see in these boys? They looked like kids. Nothing like the hunk of Bat that was talking to the commissioner, he is much more Selena's type.

As she stepped into the light, Catwoman asked dramatically, "Is this a private party, boys, or may anyone join?"

Batman glared at her. She preened under his attention before turning to the other men on the roof. The young man in the straw hat who was bouncing with excitement. The other boy was hiding behind the first. Gordon looked like he had a headache.

"Luffy, I presume?" Catwoman slinked over the boy. Up close, he wasn't so bad; kinda cute even.

"That's me!" Luffy exclaimed. "Did Nami tell you that I'll be king of the pirates?"

"Nami?" the long nose boy asked. He looked around in confusion.

"Yeah, she's hiding over there," Luffy whispered loudly. "Maybe she's scared of Batguy like you were. Oy, Nami! Batguy is cool, he's a hero like Sniperking," he shouted. Catwoman sighed and waved Nami over.

They had lost a lot of their dramatic effect thanks to Luffy but it still made Gordon gasp when Nami stepped out, cancelling out her mirage. "Luffy, can't you ever stay out of trouble?"

"Shi shi shi, nope," he snickered.

Leaving her friend to reconnect with her crewmates, Catwoman joined the adults. "So handsome," she purred, sliding up to Batman, "how did you find your pirate?"

"Ussop was picked up when his giant plant ate a cruiser," Gordon offered. "Did you meet yours while breaking and entering?" He sounded very judgmental, which rubbed her the wrong way, but she would take the highroad, even if she wished she could scratch his face.

"No, in an alley after she defended herself from a mugger," she threw over her shoulder, all her attention on Batman. She looked up expectantly at him, waiting for him to answer her question. She didn't really care where he found Luffy, but she wanted his attention.

"Rooftop," Batman answered succinctly. When Selena didn't back off, he sighed. "He kept following me until I agreed to help him find his crew."

"My hero," Selena whispered into his ear, running her hands over the bat symbol on his chest.

"Selena," Batman interrupted. He took her hands and held them away from him. "Not now."

"Fine, big boy," Catwoman pulled back. "How do we help our new friends?"

"We?" Gordan snapped in surprise.

"Yes, we," Catwoman hissed. "I won't leave my friend until I'm sure she's found all of her crew." She looked over at Nami to see how that declaration was received. She wasn't usually a people person but she saw so much of herself in Nami that she couldn't help it. She shouldn't have worried that Nami wouldn't feel that same.

"Thank you, Catwoman," Nami squealed, stepping up to hug the older woman. Luffy apparently decided he wanted to be included because he tackled the women in a hug that wrapped around them several times. Catwoman would never admit that she squeaked in alarm. "Rubber man," Nami explained in a whisper. Selena didn't know what that meant, but apparently this was normal to Nami so she'd take it in stride as well. Or try to. She flinched as she watched Luffy's arm's snap back to normal. Then he just stood there like he hadn't just stretched his arms like taffy.

"Joker took over a concert hall with a living skeleton," Batman said, not acknowledging any of the drama before him. Selena wished she had his poise. "Do you know anything about that?"

"That's my musician!" Luffy shouted, jumping away from Nami and Catwomen and leaving them sprawled on the roof. "He's got an afro and he's a skeleton and he knows Laboon and he knows 'Bink's Sake' and…"

"Luffy, he gets the idea," Nami said, smacking her captain's head.

"So, we need to get these pirates to this skeleton and maybe that will keep Joker from doing anything drastic," Gordon interrupted.

"What do you mean, drastic?" Ussop asked. He seemed to have finally grown a spine. It was about time, Catwoman thought.

"Joker is a mad man. He could kill everyone in that concert," Batman said grimly.

All of the pirates looked at each other and laughed.

"What's so funny?" Catwoman complained. She knew Joker and she wouldn't underestimate him. He was dangerous.

"Taking over a concert hall? Brook probably wanted an audience," Ussop explained with a shrug.

"He's become a big name in our world, a super star," Nami added. "He's such a showboat."

"So?" Gordon snapped. "Your friend is with the Joker. He is completely unpredictable and dangerous."

Luffy laughed and put his foot down. "Nope, doesn't matter. Brook would never let someone hurt his audience. No more than Chopper could hurt a patient or Sanji let someone go hungry. He's my musician and I trust him."

"Well said, Luffy," Nami said affectionately. She ruffled his hair and Ussop stood taller with a big grin on his face. "We're not normal pirates, Batman, Catwoman. We try not to hurt people, we just want to follow our dreams and we don't let anything stop us."

"Not even a psychotic clown," Ussop added with his finger up like he thought he was contributing. Selena rolled her eyes. Nami caught her look and giggled.

Batman studied the pirates, his gaze heavy, making even Catwoman uncomfortable and she wasn't even the focus. Luffy never flinched and Nami looked unimpressed. Ussop hid behind his shorter captain. "Fine, I'll tell Nightwing to meet us outside of the concert hall. He'll be bringing two more pirates," Batman finally said.

"Who?" asked Nami.

"I only know of Sanji," Batman admitted, which was interesting.

Selena had to hide a smile because it was obvious that Luffy was distracting enough that Batman didn't know everything tonight. That was a good thing for Catwoman and Nami since it meant that he'd probably never know about their heist. It wasn't like a drug lord would fill out a police report.

"I hope the other isn't Zoro," Ussop laughed, bringing her attention back to the present.

"Shi, shi, shi, shi," Luffy giggled. "Yeah, those two could destroy the city."

"This is going to be a long night," Gordon groaned.

Though she agreed with Gordon, Catwoman laughed behind her hand. This was going to be a great night.
