Young Justice Season 4 - The Red X Factor

Episode/Chapter 20 - Corrupted Part 2

"Don't lose sight of her." Robin told Jet, who nodded and flew up into the sky to watch where she goes.

"She's headed to the ACE Chemicals' old abandoned warehouse. Creepy..." Jet said in the comm.

"I'm already headed there." Robin said as he mounted his motorcycle and drove off.

He met Jet at the entrance. They ran up to the door, kicked it down, and walked through the dusty entrance into a large open room where they saw shelves and tables used for experimenting with chemistry and chemicals.

"Ew, this place is contaminated..." Jet said as he veered away from the chemicals... Or at least whatever looked strange or abnormal.

"Shhh." Robin shushed him as they waited silently. Suddenly, the dark figure jumped down from a beam above them and landed before them.

"You followed me to my den." The girl said as she slowly stood up and faced Robin and Jet.

"Look, I have no clue who you are, but you might want to give that money back." Jet warned.

The girl only stared at him, then turned to Robin, and started laughing,

"Is this some sort of joke?"

"I know you're from Gotham Academy and College Prep." Robin said, "why are you doing this?"

"Actually, look, I'm not from that school. I only broke in to meet Batman in person." The girl explained, "imagine my surprise when I get kidnapped on the day I just so happen to visit."

"Then who are you?! What's your name?" Jet asked.

"Me? I'm Joseline Kyle, daughter of Selena Kyle. And I'm known as Catgirl."

"Catgirl? What happened to Kitrina Falcone?!" Robin asked.

"I'm only known as the second. She left." Catgirl shrugged.

"Wait, I'm confused... Do you have some sort of obsession with Batman or something?" Jet asked.

"Nah."

"Then why were you at the school?"

"To see Batman for myself. Of course my mom said that that was a bad idea. But it doesn't matter now. Get out of my way and let me go off on my own jewelry-stealing way."

"Not going to happen." Robin said as he took out his sword, "You're coming with us."

"Then try and catch me." Catgirl said as she ran up to them and started fighting.

"Jet! Cover me!" Robin ordered as he vanished into the dark.

"Oh no you don't!" Catgirl said as she ran up to where she last saw Robin and slashed the dark, but he wasn't there.

"Just you and me." Jet said as he cracked his knuckles. Catgirl clenched her teeth and threw a fist at Jet. He expertly dodged her punches and he fought back. Eventually, he got knocked back and she stood with her foot on his chest.

"Ahahaha! You pathetic little boys can't defeat me! And Robin was too chicken to stay and fight!" Catgirl cackled.

"You do realize you're the same age as us. So don't call us little." Jet smirked.

"Shut up!" Catgirl shouted, "now come out, little Robin, if you don't want me to crush your little friend's ribs!"

Suddenly, a small dart shot out from the rafters in the ceiling and stuck into Catgirl's leg.

"What the..." She looked down at pulled out the dart, but then she collapsed.

"Tranq dart?" Jet coughed as he sat up.

"Yeah." Robin replied as he jumped down from and landed next to them, "we'll take her to the cave and get Batman to call Catwoman."

"But we can't let Catwoman into the cave." Jet said as Robin picked up Catgirl bridal style and carried her out, Jet following close behind.

"Well, let's just say that Batman has ways of convincing her to be good at times. But we really don't know what goes on with her these days." Robin shrugged as they headed to the nearest Zeta tube.

"Recognized. Robin, B27. Authorization, Catgirl. Jet, B32." The telephone booth said as they were teleported to Mount Justice.
