Dec. 22, 2008 - In the Dark
It was snowing in Gotham City.
From a rooftop, two figures clothed in back dueled. One a man, one a woman. The woman fought passionately, kicking, scratching, and with a whip. The man was restrained, apparently not wanting to hurt the woman.
Nearby, a half grown cat sat, staring at the two. It's blue eyes took in the emotions coming from the woman. She was afraid, heartbroken and deeply in love. As the cat's eyes turned to the man, they reflected red and silver, giving off the impression of fire. The man was sad, and disappointed. He's ducked as the woman cracked her whip. He grabbed it before the woman cloud pull it back. Taken by surprise, the woman was pulled to the man. He held her hand. As she looked into his eyes, a tear dripped of her eyelashes, landing on the man's arm.
Then the man turned and leapt off the building.
The woman collapsed to her knees, head bent in utter sorrow.
As the woman made her way to an apartment complex, the black cat followed closely behind.
The woman slunk against the buildings icy walls, and went through a window near the top floor.
The woman went to her door, and picked up a pile of ail of the floor.
" Bills, bills, paycheck, bills..." she read, then stopped. She pulled a gold foil envelope out of the pile.
She opened it, " 'Selina, Merry Christmas. From a friend'... I wonder..." she said slowly.
Then a scratch came from the window. Selina jumped. She ran into her room. When she came back out she was no longer in black, but in a gray sweater and jeans.
When she opened the window, she sighed in relief. " Hello, kitty. Where'd you come from?"
The cat mewled in reply. Selina sighed, " Isn't it interesting how animals come to you when you're in the dumps? " She pulled out a carton of eggnog from the fridge and drank some. " Mew?" She bent down and gave the partly grown kitten some. As the woman stroked the cat, they both began to purr.
Later that night, as Selina Kyle lie in her bed, sobbing to her heart's content. "Don't cry," said a voice. " I'm sure you'll end up together." Cat Woman sat up in bed. " Who said that?" she demanded. Out of the shadows, the sleek black kitten stepped out. " I did. I want to help you."
