Selina Kyle was beginning to sweat. The salty liquid rolled off her forehead and onto the leg of her black slacks. There was truly nothing more intimidating than sitting in front of the "Justice" League. "Justice" because Selina wasn't so sure they deserved that title anymore after their shift in protocol.

"We have reviewed your case…" Wonder Woman was saying.

Selina took a deep breath. 'Here is comes.'

"But despite a passionate plea from one of our senior members…"

Ms. Kyle's cat-like green eyes flitted to Batman.

"We have no choice but to deem you, Catwoman…a villain."

All of the air escaped Selina's lungs at once. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't think, all she could do was stare dumbly at the "heroes" surrounding her, boring holes in her with their judgmental gaze. Batman's mouth was drawn into a hard line. She looked at him pleadingly, but he refused to make eye contact.

"You will enter the arena at 5pm tomorrow evening." Wonder Woman continued. "May Hera take pity on your soul, and may the odds be ever in your favor."
