I want your Bat Romance

The Things I Do For Love

Catwoman quietly swung down and noiselessly landed on the metal pipe below. Her hands gripped the pipe by her sides as it was snug in the crook between the long heel and the sole of her boots. Selina observed the scene below: ski masked thugs walked around with guns, others were sitting on computers and control panels, handling their evil machines. In the middle of the room was a kidnapped civilian tied to a chair by her wrists and feet. Her hair was as white as her skin, pale from fear, and also had silver highlights. The pipe made a ting as Selina's roommate Jen came down beside her.

Jen had secretly followed Selina since the minute she heard the news. The criminals here had stolen machinery and other ingredients needed to make a weapon of destruction. But that wasn't what had brought Selina here. This evil scheme was of such grand proportions, it required equally greater security force to be dealt with.

Unimaginably, that was what had driven the world's most sought after catburglar to be involved with this. Jen had the perfect view of Selina's blindspot from where she was sitting. And that wasn't just a spot, it was a wall. An electrified wall, that had the three most famous members of the Justice League, captured in locks Superman couldn't melt, Wonderwoman couldn't break, and The Batman couldn't pick. And he was the one who Catwoman had come for: Batman.

"Quietly, Jen. Quietly." Selina turned and scolded.

"Sorry," Jen apologized, but Selina saw right past her best friend, and Jen clenched her eyes and tilted her head in resignation. Damn! Selina saw them.

Selina smirked, and Jen knew it was going to be bad.

"Selina, don't" Jen tried to reason as Selina prepped to jump, but Catwoman did jump, and all Jen could do was whine after her.

Selina swung back on her heels, doing a gymnast landing in the middle of the room. All guns aimed at her, and there was a loud growl of anger, disapproval, and worry. Selina smiled, almost blushing, knowing who's growl it was.

"Now, now. Guns down." The boss's voice entered the room before the room was cleared for him. He didn't wear a ski mask, but a suit, as if he had a meeting at Wayne Enterprises an hour after he was done here.

"The Catwoman is on our side. She's a criminal. But what I don't understand is what brings the world's best thief to our humble gathering?"

The boss walked a circle around her, the guns still ready to fire. He stopped behind her and walked closer, reaching a hand out from behind her and caressing her face. Selina closed her eyes and again there was a threatening growl, which caused the boss to jerk his face up and look across him to the wall. Where the Batman was tied up, struggling to break free.

The boss smiled and walked around her, stopping when he stood between the two. He looked back and forth from the both and smirked.

"You care about her!" He said as he walked slightly over to the Dark Knight, stepping back when the hero jerked forward towards him. The boss then turned towards his men.

"The Batman, cares about the Catwoman! You're here for him." He teasingly smiled at Selina, then anger stitched across his face and he walked backwards, his arms wide at his side, motioning at his men.

"Over there dead bodies." The henchmen ran at Selina and Jen involuntarily, jumped down and landed beside Selina, ready to fight. The men were more, and bigger than the two girls combined, but they eventually beat the ski masks out.

Catwoman picked herself off a knocked out thug, and spat at her side. She walked over to the boss, who shrank back, but Selina walked away from him without a word. She walked towards the girl tied on the chair, stopping to look at her and then at The Batman, who motioned for her to help the girl. The boss noticed.
