Selina adjusted her hold on her black backpack that contained stacks of cash, an extra pair of clothes, her night vision goggles, and Superman comic.

      She had finished it with ease, rereading it multiple times within the last four days that she had the entire thing memorized.

      And it wasn't easy carrying a backpack around all the time, but Selina needed to. She hadn't found an abandoned house to stay at for now. Besides, she wasn't stupid enough to leave her backpack filled with stolen cash out in the alleys.

      Selina scratched the side of her head as she neared the comic book store, biting her bottom lip before walking inside. She didn't want to keep reading the same comic book all day long. She needed something new.

      Her green eyes scanned around, walking through the aisles and scoffing a little at the Batman comics. Yup, she wasn't the biggest fan of him still. That wouldn't change for a while. She spotted the same Wonder Woman comic she had seen earlier that week.

      "Did you know that Wonder Woman is the daughter of Zeus?" The sudden voice made Selina nearly jump out of her skin, whipping her head around to see the boy who let her steal that Superman comic, Freddy.

      For someone who walked with a crutch, who knew how to be quiet. Either that, or the thief was losing her touch.

      "Umm...no. No, I-I didn't know that." She admitted, pushing some of her curls away from her eyes. Freddy was wearing a blue Superman shirt, making her smile a little before looking back at the comic book.

      "Yeah, I'm pretty sure she is. I mean, it would explain why she's so powerful, ya know? Like, she has to be a goddess!" He rambled, something the teenager certainly wasn't used to.

      But Selina found herself listening, nodding slightly. "I wouldn't be surprised. Zeus was like...the biggest man whore ever."

      This brought a small smirk to his pale face, nodding quickly. "He definitely was, and a grade A douchebag!"

      A giggle escaped her lips, now holding the comic in her hands. "You're not wrong. He's always portrayed as this super nice guy but he was the worst god out of all them."

      "I know! Hell, Hades was way better than him!" Freddy agreed, waving his hands around.

      "Hades was just an awkward and emo introvert who didn't know how to talk to a girl." Selina said as she chuckled softly, looking around the store to make sure no one was looking instinctively.

     They were quiet for a moment, Selina still looking before Freddy spoke again. "Don't worry. No one's looking. You can put it in your jacket."

      She looked confused, opening her mouth to deny the fact that she actually was about to steal it, when he suddenly moved his crutch quickly and knocked over some of the comics off the aisle. "Oops! Crap, lemme get that!"

      He made eye contact with her and she knew immediately what he was doing. She knelt down with him, picking up the comics before quickly shoving the one she was holding inside her leather jacket.

      Freddy lifted some of the comics before pushing another one toward her. The curly haired girl's eyes widened but he shot her a reassuring smile. And so she took it, putting it in her jacket just as she had done seconds earlier.

      They soon stood up, Freddy taking a little longer due to his crutch as they both put the fallen comics back where they belonged, but no one was looking at them. Wow. That was easy. Now they just needed to walk out. He seemed to notice her eyes at the door, patting her shoulder-which caused her to stiffen and pull away slightly.

      "C'mon, we've got homework to do, Cat!" He said loud enough for people to hear and she nodded, walking out the door with him right behind her.

      They walked together silently for a minute before Selina stopped moving and looked at him. "Why? Why are you helping me? What do you want?"

      He looked a bit surprised, maybe confused before shrugging. "I don't want anything, I promise. I just wanted to help. You look relaxed when you looked at the comic books. I figured you might want some more."

      Selina stared at him intensely, trying to see what the hell his deal was. But his eyes were genuine. He smiled, seeming like he wasn't uncomfortable by her strong gaze. She bit her bottom lip, going quiet before muttering a thank you. Another thank you within that week. She had to be softening, she had to be.

      He smiled more at her, shrugging. "It's no problem, really. I mean, you've got good taste in comics, I'll give ya that."

      The thief chuckled softly and nodded, looking down as she fiddled slightly with the zipper of her jacket. "I guess so."

      He continued smiling at her before seeming to snap out of it. "I gotta head on home but...I'll see you soon!" There wasn't a question, or hopefulness like their last interaction. He seemed like they knew they would see each other again. Maybe they would. Who knew.

      "Bye Freddy." She said with a little smile and he seemed to grin more, like he was happy that she remembered his name. He said his goodbye quickly before turning away and limping toward where she assumed his home would be.

      This time, Selina watched him leave before finally turning around and walking off. She didn't know where she was headed, but not an alleyway, that was for sure.

      The dirty blonde haired teen walked and walked until she spotted a warehouse. Her catlike curious instincts got the better of her and she entered inside.

      It seemed empty, concrete walls and beams around her. It didn't even look like there was any construction going on. It was perfect for her to stay in from now on.

      She threw her backpack down and sat on the hard ground, unzipping her jacket. She pulled out the two comic books, both different issues of Wonder Woman. She placed them in front of her and her nimble fingers found themselves grasping onto the one Freddy gave her.

      Without a second thought, Selina opened it and began reading while having a roof over her head for the first time since being in Philadelphia.
