Project Cat-Call (A Robin/Nightwing Young Justice FanFic)

Chapter 3: Test

Dick’s POV

“I can’t believe you just left that woman there!” I complained to Bruce. We’d taken that mugger to the police station and left him there tied up. So we knew commissioner Gordon could handle him.“She’s fine.”

“Yeah, but how do you know that?” I asked and narrowed my eyes. “Because I do.” He put simply. “But we have something more important to talk about.”

“And that is?” I asked as we walked over to the Bat Computer. “This.” He said, before pulling up a file covered in stats and formulas. “This is something we found in Catmus. It’s project name was Cat-Call. I’m telling you this because it hits a little too close to home for comfort.” He typed a few keys and brought up genetic code. “They made a clone of Selina Kyle and infused her with more things than the League can count. Most of this stuff hasn’t even be heard of.”

“So what are we supposed to do?” Bruce sighed at my question. “We’re going to find her and hopefully before anything bad can happen. If these readings are right, she just might be able to destroy the whole city if she wanted to.”

“Well, do we know what she looks like?” Bruce his the keyboard hard. “No. All we have are blurry videos of test they ran on her.”

“Well, if she’s found Selina by now, then we’ll run into them eventually.” I said, trying to look on the bright side of this.

“That’s what I’m worried about.” Bruce said, before finding his cape and leaving the cave. “What’s up with him?” I asked myself.

 

Ruby’s POV

I’d changed out of my outfit and into some pajama shorts and a tank top last night and when I woke up, found that my top was still covering my chest but practically turned around. I sighed as I fixed it. “Good morning!” I said as I entered the kitchen. Mom was sipping some milk and reading the paper at the table when I came it. “Oh, good morning Ruby. I ordered us some pizza so it should arrive soon.” I slide into the seat next to mom. “Yeah, hey mom. I had a question.”

“Sure hun. What is it?” I fidgeted with my fingers before asking. “Why did you name me Ruby?”

Mom sighed and set all her things down. “Because, every since I started this... life, I decided that if I ever had a child, I’d name them after some kind of precious metal or jewel, because they’d be my precious metal or jewel. That’s why I named you Ruby.” There was a pause. Then mom laughed. “Look at me getting all sentimental!” She straightened herself up.

“Now, I have a question for you. What did they make you out of?” She asked eagerly. I thought about this. “Well, for starters, your DNA, but I have a titanium infused into my skeleton underneath my skin. Um, different kinds of cat DNA to ensure good sight, endurance, hearing, and agility.Oh! And healing saliva! Then there’s something that the doctors called, ‘Impetum Modo’ which is Latin for Attack Mode. I’ve only ever used it once, and let’s just say it didn’t go well, so they told me never to use it. But I can use the rest of my cat powers fine.”

Mom nodded. “Alright. Now I suspect they taught you how to fight correct?” I nodded. “So now I need to teach you about how to fight against the Bird?”

“I guess so.” She clapped her hands together. “Perfect. We start when you get some real clothes on.”

Once I’d changed into a black skirt and white blouse mom sat me down on the couch. “First thing to know is that I always go for the Bat and you are always to go for the Bird, no matter what. Second, when you’re Catgirl you have to always talk flirty and have a sexy tone about you, that way it throws them off. And lastly,” She paused. “Always use whatever you can to your advantage.” I nodded with heat in my cheeks. “I know this might be a bit much right now, but trust me. You’ll do well knowing it. And there’s one more thing.” She leaned in and whispered. “You’ll encounter the Bird at your school so what I’m about to tell you stays between us because in both worlds I’ll need you to get to him.” I nodded. “I don’t remember his name, but he’s Bruce’s adopted son. So make sure you befriend him first chance you can.” I nodded again and mom smiled.
