Chapter 4: A cat in the night

(Y/N's POV)

I hung out with Barbara some more to make her think I was already settling in with her and let her guard down a little. We watched movies, played some video games, and talked with me a little about what I'll be doing tomorrow. A few hours passed and she said it was time for bed as we would wake up early in the morning, This was the perfect chance to sneak out, and I already had some tools in mind to make that happen, after she told me goodnight and left my room, I made sure I heard her door closed, then the coast was clear. I removed my makeshift rope line to escape the window, my hoodie and mask to hide my face, and an empty backpack. I got the rope line secured and tested its strength, it held my weight fine and slid out of the room and into the street, I ran to the alleyway far away from the apartment building to start stage one of my escape route, mapping my route options. 

(No POV)

While Y/N is finding his options, a fast-moving shadow figure in Gotham Bank breaks in to find the precious treasure. Carefully, sneaking around the cameras and security alarms pays off as the figure smiles brightly at the sight of a large diamond. It got out sharp metal claws to remove a small hole in the glass box and carefully pulled the diamond out.

"I got you now.~"

Then, out of nowhere, the lights turned on and the alarms rang, now having to escape the bank before the cops or worse batman catches up. Climbing the walls and out of the upper windows, the figure jumped from building to building away from the bank. Soon, the running stopped and the criminal stopped to catch a breath, it stepped into a small lamp post and it showed a woman in a black spandex catsuit, it was the cat burglar herself, the Catwoman. She made off with another successful steal, aside from the alarms setting which she was sure were off but at least she got away. 

Catwoman- Look at this beauty, another one to my collection.

"Not on my watch."

She turned around to see him once more.

Catwoman- Oh my Batman, trying to take this beauty away? It looked lonely inside that glass prison, and I thought it was the right thing to set it free.

Batman- Hand it over to me Catwoman, it doesn't belong to you.

Catwoman- *Sigh*, well at least I tried bats.

She then threw down a smoke bomb and dashed away to escape Batman, the chase was more hectic than usual, and a Batarang hit her bag causing it to fall out of her arms.

Catwoman's mind- Shit!! The diamond!

As much as she wanted to get the loot back, Batman still chased after her without distraction, she had no choice but to leave it behind for now. Hopefully, it won't be found by some lowly scum, but someone else will.

(Y/N's POV)

I have been through the streets for about a couple of hours now and have only made some progress on the mapping because the many criminals out here doing their usual shit and I didn't want to be part of that unless I get ass-kicked by the Batman. Since it was almost 3 am, I figured I was done for the night and decided to head back to the apartment, I didn't want Barbara to see me tired in the morning or she would suspect something. As I made my way, I saw a large black bag literally in the middle of the way and instead of leaving it alone, my ass decided to look at what was inside. I saw shiny jewelry, lots of money, and such stuff but the one thing that caught my attention was this large diamond.

Y/N- Oh my god!

It shined so brightly that it made my eyes hurt a little with how beautiful it was, but then I couldn't enjoy it for long as I heard something behind me. I hid behind a dumpster to avoid getting into trouble, then a couple of people showed up and they had scars and tattoos on them.

"So where is this falling bag from the sky man?"

"Yeah, it should be here!! You said it yourself you saw it."

"Shut up, both of you, maybe the reason why it isn't here now is because some bastard stole it before us!! We need to find this son of a bitch and teach him a lesson.

*Evil laughter*

Oh Shit!!

I need to leave now before I'm a goner but I can't with them still in front of the exit, so I had to find something to distract them. And I found my answer with an old tin can, this is what I needed so I threw it behind me.

*Clank Clank!*

"Huh?!

"What was that?!

"I think it came from that way, come on!"

It worked and the men ran towards the other way and I used to time to run like hell, away from there before they came back. I ran and ran until I got closer to the street of the apartment building, and then I stopped to catch my breath.

*Heavy Breathing*

I regained my strength and looked over the bag again, took out the diamond, and stared at it in full detail again. Whoever got this had to have stolen it, I mean it was in a black bag, and with other shit, it isn't from an honest day's work that's for sure.

Y/N- But the question is, who did this?

"I hope you're not planning on taking my treasure.~"

I heard a voice from behind me but when I turned around, no one was there.

Y/N- Who's there!?

"Someone who is here to claim what is rightfully mine in the first place."

It was close to me but not there at the same time, I couldn't see any figure shadow or something to indicate a person.

Y/N- Look, if you need your stuff back, I'm not gonna take it, I know better than to not get involved with this stuff. 

"Interesting, most would've taken something. Are you lying to me?"

Y/N- Nope, not at all. Look...

I emptied all of my pockets and laid only my makeshift map on the floor for this mystery person to see, I also unzipped my backpack to further prove my case.

"Well, look at you. An almost honest young man, we don't get that in Gotham very often. What's your name young man?~"

Y/N- Y/N. Just that, I abandoned my last name a while back, now tell me, who are you? And please show yourself, I don't want to talk to shadows you know.

"Well, since you said please, I'll do this. Here I come.~"

I never thought that the person in the shadows was...


"Well, are you satisfied now?~"

Y/N- I-I don't believe it, Catwoman!!

Catwoman- In the flesh, now the bag, please.

I threw her the bag and she looked over it to make sure everything was in it.

Catwoman- Perfect. You know I was watching you the whole time, I just wanted to see what a young man like you was going to do with my treasures and you surprised me if I'm honest.

Y/N- Thanks, never thought a criminal would ever be surprised by a street rat like me, first time for everything in this city.

Catwoman- *Giggles* No doubt about that, and you were knowledgable in your hiding spots and streets, but you don't seem to have been here in the city have you?

Y/N- I only moved here a year or so ago and one thing this city taught me was that you learn your streets or get lost and killed.

Catwoman- I agree, now I don't usually do this but since you were honest with me, hid my treasure from those men and escaped flawlessly, here.~

She threw me a watch that was super shiny and ultra-expensive.

Y/N- Wow, Thanks. I wonder how much was this?

Catwoman- Let's just say this would be just a "cheap" impulse buy for Bruce Wayne.

Y/N- Damn. I would use that money he has to leave here that's for sure.

Catwoman- *Chuckles* Well, It was nice to talk but I must go, thanks again, kid.~

Y/N- Heh, sure. and if another bag falls from the sky, you know who to call to hide it for you.

She only nodded and used a whip to launch herself into the sky and in no time, she was gone.

Y/N- This was one strange night but for some reason an exciting one.

I ran back to the apartment and used my hoot to get back to the top of the floor window where my room was which I kept unlocked. After some careful climbing, I was back in the room safe and sound, and it was quiet so that meant Barbara was asleep the whole time, perfect.

Y/N's mind- Time to hit the hay for real this time.

I took off my shoes and socks and hopped onto the bed, and my eyes shut right away.

Y/N- *YAWN!*

(Catwoman's POV)

I was back at my apartment feeding and playing with my little kittens smiling the whole time cause tonight was the most interesting yet. I thought for sure my loot would've been taken by then but then this boy came along and not only hid it but also gave it back to me, no fight about it. That's a once-in-a-blue-moon type encounter I ever had and I don't think I would meet another one like him again.

Catwoman's mind- Maybe I should give him a job of sorts, he seems capable of it.~

I entertained the idea for the rest of the night but one thing was for sure...he has caught my attention.~

(End...for now)

Well, after a long time here is the newest chapter. Hope you all enjoy and stay warm out there. See you later!! :) :)
