Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own words.

This was inspired by a comic on DeviantART, since I can't post links here. It's called 'Felines' by 'Colours07' on DA.

This is a two parter, here's the first part.

"I told you they were working on something in there" Selina purred, leaning back on one of the sofa's in the sitting room of Wayne Manner.

"I understand that…what you failed to tell me was what it was" Bruce, still in Batman gear, growled back at her.

Selina shrugged "I didn't even know what it was, all I knew was that it had something to do with testing and animals….put two-and-two together and you get me snooping around. You didn't have to come"

"I had to make sure you didn't do anything….drastic" Batman's eyes narrowed.

"Is that the only reason?" Selina asked, a suggestive smile playing on her face.

"Yes"

Selina's smile fell. "Fine" She stood and walked over to the open window, placing one foot on the pane and glancing back at him. "I'll get back to my apartment and scan through the data that the lab had, see if I can find something to reverse this"

"And in the mean time?"

"Hey, they're your birds. And you know what happens when you leave birds with a cat" Selina smiled at him. She waved before jumping out the window and disappearing into the night.

Batman stood there for a moment, trying to prepare his mind for what he would have to do until Selina found an antidote for whatever that gas was that had hit his four sons.

"RRREEEEOOOOOWWWWW!"

Batman sighed and pulled his cowl down, unclipping the cape and setting it on the sofa for Alfred to put away. He left the sitting room and walked back out to the entrance hall, glaring at the two creatures that were locked in a cat fight on the tiled floor.

"Damian, that's enough" Bruce's voice commanded.

A small grey cat looked up at Bruce from where he was currently chewing on the ear of another cat. "Meow!"

Bruce reached down and gripped the cat by the scruff of its neck before reaching down again and lifting the other cat into his arm. "Are you alright Tim?"

The white cat let out a low, painful meow before licking its grey paw and pressing it against its ear. All four of Tim's paws were grey, making it seem like he was wearing socks.

Bruce set the two back on the ground, narrowing his eyes at them as they ducked their heads in shame.

"No fighting. I told you that before and I'm telling you again. At least try to get along until we can reverse this. Understand?"

Tim and Damian let out a small meow which Bruce hoped meant 'Yes' since he didn't speak cat. "Good. Now, where are Jason and Dick?"

Tim meowed loudly and jumped up, running up the stair with Damian close behind.

Bruce followed them, hoping that they were leading him to his older sons and not just trying to run away from him so they could claw each other to shreds.

As he climbed the stair to the upper level of the manor, Bruce's mind wandered back to what happened after he came back from the lab.

Batman helped Catwoman sit down onto the sofa, her hand wrapped around her upper arm where she had been hit by one of the empty cages that the men had thrown at them.

"Are you sure you're alright?" He asked, inspecting the grimace of pain on her face.

She smiled, pulling off her mask. "Better be careful Brucie. That almost sounded like you were concerned there"

The corner of his lip twitched up in a slight, barely noticeable smirk. "I'll be right back. I need to put these in the Bat cave to analyse them later." He told her, showing the metal disk tray like object with several vials of a clear blue-ish liquid.

He straightened himself and walked out, crossing the entrance hall and into the study.

"Careful you don't drop it" He heard Selina shout after him before the wooden door closed behind him. Bruce walked over to the grandfather clock in the study, one of the entrances to the cave. The clock slid across the wall, revealing a staircase which descended down into the earth.

He walked down the stair, hearing the clock slide back into place after him and descended into the cave. Shouts met his ears halfway down.

"Damian! You're supposed to only use the blunted weapons!"

"If you are too scared of being hurt Drake, then simply quit or stop being such a female!"

"Jay, quit it!"

"Why didn't you tell me you were ticklish Dickie!"

Bruce sighed and calmly walked the last few steps of the stairs until he was in the familiar dark, damp cave. Glancing around he looked for his protégés

Damian and Tim were currently wrestling. Several ninja stars sticking out from the ground and the wall, Tim taking care to avoid them while blocking Damian's attacks with his own Bo staff.

A loud laughing came from over by the Batcomputer. Dick was seated in the chair, lying on his side with his knees to his chest and Jason leaning over him, attempting to tickle Dick's stomach.

"Nice to see you all training" Bruce announced. Causing all four of the boys to freeze like statues and turn their attention to him.

"Sup Bruce" Jason greeted with a grin on his face. "How'd your date go?"

Bruce narrowed his eyes "It was not a date. I was helping Catwoman with infiltration of a-"

"Yeah yeah, whatever you wanna call it, either way, you were still alone with your girlfriend" Jason cut him off, being the only one in existence with enough nerve (Or a death wish) to do so.

"So uh, what's that?" Dick asked, trying to defuse the tension between Jason and Bruce.

Bruce held up the metal disk and walked over to the Batcomputer, setting it beside the key board. "Some sort of chemical we think they were testing on the animals. The thing is, there were only cats in the lab."

"So, it's a cat drug?" Tim asked, walking over to the computer.

"Could be, I'll have to analyse it tomorrow. For now, all of you need to get some sleep." Bruce told them, nodded particularly at Tim and Damian. "Don't think I've forgotten that you two have school"

Damian scowled at the mention of School. "Very well father"

"Can we just finish up first? I was about to beat 'Devil-Damian'" Tim asked, glancing over at Damian.

"You are clearly delusional Drake, I was seconds away from defeating you"

"That's what you think"

Bruce nodded, then turned his head to Dick and Jason.

"I just need to finish up some work on a new mobster boss in Bludhaven. Jason can keep an eye and make sure Tim and Damian don't kill each other" Dick explained.

"Woah woah, I didn't sign up for babysitting duty" Jason protested.

"Relax, Jay. You can help me with the research while we both keep an eye on them"

Jason crossed his arms and grumbled a 'fine'

Bruce nodded again. "Alright, don't stay up too late. I need to make sure Selina's sticky fingers haven't latched onto anything."

Bruce turned and headed back for the stairs, stopping when he heard a shout that made his stomach drop.

"DAMIAN!"

Damian: When did I agree to this?!

Me: Since I threatened to stuff you in a bunny suit and throw you into a crowd of fangirls

Damian: You never threatened me with that

Me: Well I did now!
