Selina was not in a good mood. Midnight just hit and she was just beginning to get ready. She just wasn't up to doing anything without her Kitten by her side. But unfortunately, she had somewhere to be. 
She thought of the pros and cons of meeting him.

In the end, she decided that going to him wouldn't hurt. After all, he was hanging out with the Boy Wonder, so he must be a superhero looking for Wally.

After she got dressed she headed back down the hall from her room heading to the balcony. She passed by Wally's room and stopped.
Slowly turning to the door she reached out with a shaky hand. Grasping the handle before turning it.

Upon entering the room, she noticed everything was exactly the same.
Even if he was a teenage boy his room was spotless.
She guessed that was thanks to his father's "strict" rules. Getting rid of those thoughts she stood in the doorway.

After examining it a bit she stepped further into the room, before sitting on the bed. She jumped up when she heard something fall to the floor. Glancing down she noticed a new sketchbook laying on the floor; Not like the old battered one, she found back at his place.
She reached down and opened it, gasping at the sight.

On the first page was of a beautiful pink-haired girl, Jinx, she assumed. Her back was facing towards whoever saw the picture. She was standing on a balcony with a simple pink dress on, flowing in the imaginable wind. Her hair, which was down and naturally curled, flowed with the wind as well. 

Overhead of her was a well-drawn sunset, capturing every color perfectly. In her right hand was a simple rose, in her left hand was what looked like a picture. Most likely of her old teammates. Underneath the drawing in beautiful cursive handwriting said, "I'm finally free."

A few tears dropped. When she brings Wally back she's going to have him draw all kinds of pictures for her and then she was going to hang them up for display to embarrass the poor boy. 

She flipped through a couple more drawings, stopping on one that caught her eye. It was nothing more than what appeared to be a woman and a young boy embracing each other in a tight hug. Behind them was an open door, the "light" filling every inch of the paper. Looking very welcoming with what appeared to be a dark aura around the boy. And in the doorway above their heads were three words: I'm finally home.

She gasped, dropping the book and covering her mouth. She choked back the tears, wanting her kitten home.
Missing her kitten.

It's only been 3 days but for a mom, it felt like a lifetime. She laughed despite herself, never imagining her in this type of position. She looked at the clock and it read 12:34. She mentally cursed herself for being so late. Getting up, she headed to the door, shutting it behind her.

Heading to her balcony she stepped near the edge looking down. Now in the past, she would've been scared of how high up she was.
But not anymore.
She pulled out her lasso before jumping off and swinging into the night.

After spending hours with Robin, the Boy Wonder mumbling coherent things to him, he finally got him to sleep. He promised the Baby Bird that they'll find Wally, now he was patiently waiting for Catwoman to show up. 

He knew it was her the moment he spotted her in that cafe. Wally had shown him a picture of her with a bright smile. He may not like the fact that she was a villain, but Roy had to admit, she was a good parent to Wally.
Unlike his real parents.

He checked the time, 12:53. He sighed, deciding that once 1 o'clock hit, then he'll leave. He growls in the back of his throat before a seductive voice broke the silence.
"My my, I wasn't expecting you here Speedy."
He turned around slowly, growling out in a deep voice. "I don't go by Speedy anymore. It's Red Arrow."

Catwoman scoffed, "I know, but it's so much fun watching my prey get mad."
She flashed a smile before it disappeared. "Why did you ask to meet me here? And how did y-" "Wally told me everything... Before he went missing."
She tensed up, "so none of you know where he's at?"
"... No. But the last place he was in was an alleyway in Gotham. He got... Ganged up on by four guys. Apparently, he wasn't in the right state of mind at the time."

"What do you mean?" Her voice laced with worry and concern, a bit of venom in there for someone who hurt her Kitten.
He stopped, carefully choosing his words. "Robin mentioned that they got into an argument and he said somethings he shouldn't have."
"Like?"
"I don't know. He wasn't making much sense. He just blames himself for Wally's disappearance." Red explained.

Silence overtook them before Catwoman broke it. "What did they do to him."
Red looked up to see a distraught look on the villain's face.
"They.. They took turns with him. And supposedly beat him while they were at it. They had a few items of his.."
"Items?" Her throat constricted with the way he emphasized that word.
"Yea... Um.. His phone and er... Boxers," he whispered the last word like if saying it out loud would cast a spell on them.

Oh if Wally were here he'd say that was ridiculous and that magic didn't exist. She didn't realize she was falling until Red Arrow caught her. Nor did she notice the tears falling before she felt gentle fingers wiping them away.
"You really love Kid like he's your own huh?" He mumbled under his breath.

Her breath hitched before shoving him away and standing up. She walked to the edge of the building, drying her tears before she looked over her shoulder towards him. "Thanks for the information."
"Wait," he walks over and hands her a piece of paper. He points to the names, "those are the guys that found him that night." He points to what appears to be an address, "this is the alley they found him in."

She looks up with a grateful look in her eyes, "thank you." She turns around and whips out her lasso. Before she leaves she turns to him again, watching him get an arrow out.
"Ya know.." He looks at her, "if I wasn't having such a rough time with finding my Kitten... You and I could have had some fun tonight." She smirks at the end watching his reaction.
He looks back at his bow with a glare but a barely noticeable blush on his cheeks. He aims the arrow, "sorry, but I don't date villains."

He pulls back the string, but before he releases it her voice reaches his ears. "Not what I heard from another certain cat-themed villain."
He chokes and ends up letting his hand slip, the arrow flying through the night, and missing its intended target.
He never misses.
He turns to look at her again but she was done gone.
"... Now I know where Wally gets it all from," He mumbles under his breath, before notching another arrow.
