It'd be an eventful twenty-four hours for Selina Kyle, and she felt her position on not liking surprises had been entirely justified. She'd been making her usual rounds—you'd think the museums of Gotham would know better than to display a Cat's Eye Emerald at this point—when Nightwing interrupted her break-in. Not that she minded being watched by a cunning young man in skintight tights—doing
anything
—but the little shit had snagged her. She wondered what'd made Batman give him the go-ahead to actually arrest her.
It'd taken an hour out of her night, trying to shake him. After he'd finally caught up with her, she'd needed six hours to break out of Gotham County Lock-up. She'd had to go to one of her safehouses, retrieve another suit that was not at all broken in, only to hear that the Cat's Eye was being moved out of the city. Which meant she had to do something horribly unsubtle to an armored car.
She'd stolen an appropriate Ferrari and was just coming up on the truck when the Batmobile itself swept in front of her, cutting her off as the truck went on its merry way. Catwoman tore out of the driver's seat as the Batmobile's cockpit pulled open.
"What is
with you
tonight?" she demanded. "Sending your batboy to mess with my affairs; that was just rude! And now you're not obeying the traffic laws."
"I can't have you breaking the law in my city, Selina," he said, staring at her with grim determination. He didn't seem to know how to stare at her with anything else. "If you still feel the urge to steal things you don't even need, do it in someone else's town."
"Gotham's my home. Which you were perfectly fine with when I was helping you with Bane, or Scarecrow, or any of those other freaks who now want to kill
me
just as bad as you!"
"I
said
I won't tolerate crime. Even within my own circle. Being outside the law means I have to be more strict with who I associate with, not less. If you still want us to be together, we can take that up after you serve your sentence. I think the judge will be lenient after all you've done for the city."
Selina felt like using her claws to gouge her own eyes out. "Is this you breaking up with me? Are you fucking someone else? Zatanna? Wonder Woman? Who in your whole goddamn
harem
do you need me out of the way for?"
With gruffness in every muscle, he tossed her a set of handcuffs. "Put them on and get in. I won't ask you—"
With perfect timing, an explosion rocked Cathedral Square. Batman twisted around to watch the red bloom rise off a towering building. He briefly glanced back at Catwoman. She tossed him the handcuffs back.
Like a horse obeying its master's wishes without command, the Batmobile's cockpit slid shut. It peeled out, leaving Selina alone.
She wouldn't be going after the Cat's Eye. No, let that be her last favor to Bruce. His meaningless bauble would be home free. Her next theft would be of something far more precious.

First, she had some tension to burn off. Usually, ironically enough, she'd do that with Bruce. Not tonight, obviously. She already knew, but the very fact that Bruce was willing to write her off meant the Joker wasn't on the loose. If he were, he would've needed her help.
She guessed she was a victim of her own success. The streets were so quiet—she'd gotten so bored she'd needed the stimulation of a heist—he'd started questioning their working relationship. Thankfully, there was a solution. Harley was easy to find, hiding out in the abandoned Ace Chemicals Plant, printing out fliers for a gang to bust her Mistah J out of Arkham.
Selina watched her for a moment, enjoying the sight of Harley's brisk body in her skintight leotard, the suit pulled down to her waist for comfort, exposing her sports bra. Selina dealt with that first, breaking the clasp with a cut of her whip. Harley squeaked and Selina then wrapped the whip around her neck, jerking her to the cot in the room. Then she dropped down on top of Harley.
"Oh, kitty!" Harley half-swore. "You frightened me!"
"Then we're off to a good start." She allowed herself one passionate kiss, then spoke, letting Harley go wild nipping at her neck. "Remember back when Nightwing was just a little ol' Robin? Whenever he busted in and we weren't in our work clothes, he'd peek down our shirts or up our blouses; we'd show a little thigh, knowing he'd jerk off later..."
Harley moaned, Selina grabbing her crotch to make her answer, grinding her palm into the clown. "It was like he'd never seen a pair of tits before! Then he got big and hot and—
boring.
Never sneaks a peek anymore, just like his old man. I bet it's that Batgirl floozy, giving him all he can handle back at the ranch..."
Selina pulled her zipper down all the way. Harley's eyes went wide like she was at an ice cream social. She smeared her tongue all over Selina's creamy flesh, going down to her panties. "Hello Kitty!"
"Wouldn't it be fun if he were our little slave? You know I love this hot ass of yours—" Selina reached down to grab it. "But how kinky would it be if we could spank his whenever we felt like it?"
Harley paused just before Selina's crotch. "I don't know, kitty, sounds like an awfully fast way to get the Bat mad at us. And you don't have to put up with him when he grits his teeth and acts all mean—"
Selina fell back onto the headrest of her cupped hands, opening her legs wide. "Screw the Bat. He's not the boss of me. I take what I want, and right now I want a piece of ass in blue and black. Do you want my sloppy seconds or don't you?"
For the non-feline portion of the room's population, Harley was watching Selina's groin like a cat staring at a canary. "What'd I have to do?"
"Go to Ivy. You know how she is with you. Get me some of her pheromones. Enough to take the man wonder for a joy ride."
"But
Se-lin-ers,
you know how Ivy gets about her perfume..."
Selina clamped her legs shut. "If it's a no, I can just talk to her myself. I'm sure she'll make me pay a hefty price, but I might enjoy that. She'd get to play with me—and my new toy..."
Harley grabbed onto Selina's knees, prying them open. "No need to be hasty! You scratch my back, I scratch Ivy's back, Ivy scratches yours. Ain't that the way it's always been?"
Selina gave in, letting Harley open her legs up. She sighed as Harley lapped at her for the few minutes the clown could resist parking her rear on Selina's face. After that, they sixty-nined until morning, them lying with their bodies glowing from shared orgasms in the light of dawn. As usual, Harley got by far the better end of the deal, getting a warm-bodied mouthing from Selina while the cat had to rub her own clit to get anything out of Harley's enthusiastic, amateurish tonguings.
***
Catching Nightwing was simplicity itself. Selina knew far too much about Bruce's operation. She went to Dixon Docks, deep in Nightwing's patrol territory, and had Harley play hopscotch on a rooftop for a while. Selina watched from the shadows, meditating to get her strength up. A cat at rest.
He came in less than an hour. Typical Bat efficiency. Landed on the rooftop with a Batarang already to go. "You're going back to Arkham," he told Harley in that horrible Batman imitation the whole clan thought they needed. "Do you want to enjoy the ride or not?"
"Easy, Batsy Jr!" Harley called. "I was just minding my own business, having a little fun—
now, Seliners!"
Nightwing turned just in time to see Catwoman come out of hiding, flashing her whip past him. It caught Harley by the throat once more, and she just had time to squeak—higher-pitched than before—before Selina jerked her into Nightwing's range. He kept his eyes on Selina as he threw a fist backward, precisely catching Harley. She went cross-eyed, then she went down.
"Poor dumb Harl," Selina said. "I think she caught something from those hyenas of hers."
Still facing her, Nightwing knelt to tie up Harley. "So, still trying to impress the big guy?"
"Whatever do you mean?"
"The whole side of the angels routine. It never lasts. You pitch in with Two-Face, or the Riddler, then you rob an auction house cuz you feel like it. Getting a bit predictable."
"You don't think I'm still holding a grudge over that little arrest, do you?"
Nightwing shook his head. "Whatever you and Batman have, work it out. It's a waste of my time arresting you when he's just going to let you roam free."
"Oh. I couldn't agree more." Sauntering up to him, she worked her whip back into loops by erotic degrees, showing off her body with each stretch and twist. "Maybe I've been backing the wrong horse all these years. If Bruce is too old and set in his ways to be any fun, maybe someone a little younger—a little more virile—a little more stamina." She grinned down at Nightwing checking Harley for lockpicks. "You can tie me up too."
"Not interested.
Bruce
wants you gone. If you want to steal something, go to Bludhaven. We've got enough on our plate here."
Harley groaned. Nightwing double-checked her cuffs—again.
"Bludhaven?" Selina pouted. "But all the best booty is right here."
His head snapped up as she blew Ivy's pheromones into his face, the pink mist sprinkling his domino mask and flecking his face, flashing on his dark visage like glitter before his skin and breath took it. Even through the lenses of his mask, she could see his eyes go blank.
"Se... Selina... so beautiful..."
"Oh, I know," Selina said, still mockingly pouting. "It's a curse, looking the way I do. I'm sure you can emphasize."
She walked around him, her eyes wandering his taut body inside the provocation of his suit. It outlined every muscle, stretched the flat expanse of his skin like wind-worn sand over bedrock, clung to his form as black as sin. She ran a clawed hand over the nape of his neck, around to his cheek, finding the skin nice and soft, not even a burr of stubble.
He didn't resist as she pulled at his mask, harder and harder until the spirit gum gave way. Without the mask to throw his face into relief, she could make out a few faded scars in his bronzed tan. His crisp blue eyes stared at her, soft and cool, full of an adoration that brought out some maternal feelings among her appreciation of his beauty.
