It was Garnet's first timeout as Felina. She and Catwoman were going to hit a smaller pond shop in a nicer part of Gotham. Unbeknownst to them, that the Bat was out paroling with his new and second Robin.
Felina noticed a large shadow moving in the corner of her eye as she rid the cash register of its money. She looked and saw a large man cloaked in a black cape with white out eyes. Besides him was a boy her age with a red and green shirt tucked into short green scaled shorts. He looked slightly ridiculous with the green gloves, booties and a yellow cape. A blank half mask concealing his identity.
Felina recognized them as Batman and Robin. She giggled quietly at Robin's ridiculous and non-practical outfit. Eyes were on her do to that. Felina ducked behind the counter, peeking over the top as Catwoman sashay over to Batman. Putting her gloved hand on his broad chest.
Felina watched with interest as her adoptive mother interacted with the infamous Batman. She was so invested in their interactions that she didn't realize that Robin had snuck up on her. And his first words to her were:
"You're also adopted, right?" Felina promptly gave him a right hook to the jaw that sent his forehead banging into the glass counter. Felina looked at his body with wide eyes. It was crumpled at her feet. She crouched down and poked him in the cheek. He gave a soft groan in response.
"He's awake." Felina stated as she hooked his arm around her shoulders, hauling the larger up and over the counter. He let out a loud groan of pain as his body hit the ground. Felina jumped up graceful onto the counter, crouched as she watched him claw his way to consciousness.
Batman watching with a blank and serious face. Though he there was a little bit of amusement and slight worry swirling around in his chest. While Catwoman smirked proudly at her kitten, as she softly groping Batman's incredible pecs. Batman didn't care all that much.
Robin finally made his way back and glared at the girl his age decked out in dark purple, skin tight leather. A black utility belt sitting crooked on her hips with a black cat themed half mask. It covered her cheeks, nose, eyes and forehead with small triangular cat ears at the top, and white out lenses. Her fiery hair spilling around her shoulders as she peered down at him, her head cocked to the side.
She reached her hand down to him, and saw pointed claws on the ends of the gloves. "I won't scratch you." She said, her voice musical and low, though still had that undeniable Gotham accent of its lower class. Robin likes the sound of it. So he hesitantly reaches out a hand and grasps her hand. Allowing her to help pull him to his feet.
She stared at him for a moment, before she smiled with a hint of a smirk in it.
"Felina." She introduced herself and Batman felt a small sinking of foredoom. There was a trend starting here. He could tell. So could Catwoman. She was loving every second of it.
"Robin." He also introduces himself. Shaking their hands, they let go and Felina swiftly kicks him in the head, with Catwoman giving Batman a sudden passionate kiss. In the slight daze, the two cats sped off to their safe house. Prizes in tow.
After a hot bath and stretching, Garnet snuck into Selina's large bed. The older didn't mind all to much. She enjoyed the little kitten's presence. It kept the worst of the nightmares at bay. Isis, her black cat, curled in between the two as they fell asleep. And just before Garnet fell asleep, she would mutter, "Night momma." It melts Selina's insides a little each rare little time she hears it.
Selina runs her fingers through her kitten's red hair and muttered back, "Sleep well kitten." A small smile on her face as they fell asleep.
Meanwhile at the Bat Clan, Jason was upset and that was putting it lightly. There was a bruise where she hit him on the jaw. And he had a bad headache from the kick. Jason growled and looked away as Alfred handed him an ice pack. He begrudgingly took it and held it against his poor jaw.
Jason was plotting his revenge against the cat as Bruce sat besides him watching some type of mind numbing show to get his mind off of a certain cat and her new kitten.
The boys had their work cut out for them.
