Summary: "And we're back to bring you a new online challenge that the media has dubbed the 'Autograph Challenge", but it's not what you may think. Instead of trying to gather the most autographs from our local heroes, it's taken a more darker approach as teens are collecting the autographs of villains and violent criminals. Stay tuned for more after the break" Crackfic?! Drabble

There were many things in the world that could surprise the one and only Selina Kyle.

Alias, Catwoman, or at least the name Gotham knows her by as there are a few others.

But Catwoman only came out at night to play, or unless a certain bat comes out to play. Nevertheless, today she was not Selina Kyle, no today in mid-afternoon Selina Kyle was put away and she was once again Catwoman.

In truth, she much preferred the mask and the claws to her 'normal' attire. It was far more rewarding and freeing but some days she had to recluded into her other persona.

Not much was happening that fine Gotham day. A few new jewels in the art gallery, a bank opening, and several high-class visitors coming to the Townhall for a celebration but Catwoman knew that many other villains would try to nab their 15 minutes of fame that day.

Of course, while Gotham was under turmoil and the city in chaos she would be snatching the things no one was watching. And by the time they realized she would already be long gone.

And so there she was, perching atop one of the abandoned buildings in Gotham's lower east side watching from above as the city began to go up in flames, metaphorically and literally, mostly in part to Penguin, Mr. Freeze, and Black Mask.

Jumping off the building and on to one of the lower rooftops, she began to make her way to her intended target, a vault that contained a fifteen million dollar alien weapon which would sell for 5x that amount in the Underground.

Surveying the area around her, she proceeded to get down to business, opening one of the emergency latches on the roof of where the vault was located. Or at least that what she attempted to do before she was interrupted by a shout from behind her.

Surprised that she had already been found out without her even committing the crim yet she turned to praise at the hero who had stopped her in her tracks. That would've been the case if the one she came face to face with was a set of four bratty looking kids.

The oldest couldn't be any older than a middle schooler while the youngest must've still been in elementary. From appearances alone, she knew they weren't part of some street gang nor were they part of Gotham's orphan strays that littered the streets. They were far too clean to be any of the sorts, and most of them had backpacks and sports equipment on their shoulders.

"Excuse me, Ms. Catwoman," the oldest of the four asked, her voice squeaky as she spoke, "I-well we were wondering if you could give us your autographs."

Catwoman just stared at the girl confused and frozen. That was a first, or well the first time she had been asked for a signature while in Catwoman. As her counterpart, she had had her autograph taken on numerous occasions at red carpet events but never like this.

As Catwoman. On a rooftop. Caught breaking into a high-security vault. Eight stories above ground. By a set of children. That wasn't part of the Titans group.

"You don't have to if you prefer-" the boy beside the girl interjected when he realized she wasn't saying anything, "We're sure you're very busy and all with being on this roof and stuff. We'll just leave you be and yeah so please don't trouble yourself."

The four began to make their way back to the fire escape just as Catwoman called to them, "Hey kids, why do you need my autograph? Not that I'm not flattered, but it's not something kids usually track down a criminal for."

They seemed to exchange looks before the youngest responded in his high pitch childlike voice, "It's a really big challenge that everyone's trying to win. A million dollars for whoever gets the most signatures of villains-" he blushed, "-not that you're a villain, just an uh-"

He looked over to his friends for help who in turn also looked away, none wishing to meet her eyes as well. She assumed they must've thought they hurt her feelings or offended her, not like she wasn't used to being called as such or something far worse.

Stalking over to the four as they turned to look at her making her way over, Catwoman gave them a toothy smile, "How 'bout you kids tell me more about this challenge and I'll give you not just my signature but girls, Harley, and Pam's too?"

Notes:

This incarnation of Selina Kyle aka Catwoman is more based on the Catwoman in Batman the Brave and the Beyond (yes the animated series) and the Arkham games.
