Women In Love-II

It was another night in Gotham city.

The whole city was dawn in silence as majority of the civilians had kept themselves to their home and at the same time the darkness of the city was in the light.

The city has been one of the most important industrial hub of the country courtesy to many companies like The Wayne and the upcoming The Astrea but at the same time it has also been the hub of criminals.

The number of criminals were so high in this city that Gotham had even built themselves a small island prison called the Arkham Asylum or the Arkham City.

The city was deemed so dangerous that everyone who left at night had a 80% mortality rate plus the corruption of the GCPD and the the Mayor office didn't help with that as well.

But now since a year back the fearless criminals had started to fear, fear of an urban legend of a bat.

The legend of a man-bat that would come for you within a blink and place vengeance so painful that they would rather prefer themselves dead.

It was the Batman.

Batman like any other nightly runs was out hanging on the gargoyles of the sky scrappers of the city looking out for any criminal activities for him to deal with.

"Alfred, call the nearest unit to dispatch these captured men." said the robed crusader to his mic as he looked upon the beaten up thugs from the top laying down groaning in pain and a drug transport parked a few meters away

"The units have already been informed and dispatched, Sir!" came a voice full of nobility in response to the cowled man.

*BOoM

Suddenly there was a loud sound of an explosion going off with the lights and clouds visible at a distance of few miles away.

"Sir there has been a report of a blast a few miles east of your current position."

"I see that Alfred." said the Batman as he stood up and looked at a distance away.

"Alfred make sure the emergency units arrive there on time and gather as much CCTV footage as possible."

With that the Batman jumped off the ledge free falling until a few meters above the ground he took out a gun which blasted a grapple attaching to the building making him land softly.

Hosing his gun back the Batman ran a few alleys until he meddled into the darkness of one such alley until a loud noise of an engine resounded startling some rats and drunks as jet blue flames lit at the back.

VRUu- Brrr~

Followed by two glaring headlights to lit up and immediately speeding up towards the direction of the previous explosion.

It only took a few minutes for him to reach the sight of an old abandoned hotel which was covered in a thick foliage of plants now slowly burning down with no one insight except long vines like ropes lying all around. along with some bodies of what looked like thugs.

"Sir, I'm afraid to say this but all the cameras and electronics in a 100 m radius of the location are dead. Possibly a short burst EMP." came the crisp voice of Alfred in the headset of Batman.

"I'll go and see if I can gather some information and also run a check on these I will send you shortly." he replied back as he neared a downed man taking his genetic data..

'Hmm, what happened here.' he thought.

(A Few Hours Ago)

At an abandoned hotel some strange things have been happening for a few days.

The hotel unlike normally had foliage to an uncommon amount than the usual along with large bright red flowers, vines, huge fly traps etc.

Selina walked through them in her usual elegant movement in her suit but with the addition of a half gas mask.

She walked slowly inside the hotel looking around tearing and stepping on some vines or leaves until she came to a penthouse ike apartment full of trees, leaves, flowers and everything that was deemed plant in nature.

In between of all these sat a very beautiful red head figure on a throne like seat made up of thugs that seemed to be possessed as she played with her creations.

"Why are you here?" she questioned.

"Well I heard there's a new girl in town, thought of saying Hi." said the catwoman in a nonchalant manner as she walked forward looking around at all possible advantageous positions.

"Funny but YOU SHOULD HAVE NOT HARMED MY BABIES!" said the woman screaming at the end in rage.

"Sorry! but what babies."

"Those flowers, trees and vines."

"Well they were in the way so...." before the Catwoman could finish what she was saying a vine came flying at her position which she dodged by somersaulting backwards.

"Woah! Easy there. I have come her just to have a talk."

"What is there to talk between us." refuted the redhead as she moved her hands forward causing more multiple vines to emerge from the walls, ceiling and floor and fly towards the Catwoman.

Catwoman though being an excellent acrobat and a much better fighter courtesy to Marcus easily dodged or deflected them with the help of the sharp claws at her finger tips.

"Jeez, At least listen to me first." commented Catwoman as she rolled and dodged the wines by walking on the chairs and table as she took her whip and with a swing made a support to the ceiling she jumped.

The jump surprised the redhead as she was unable to react as she received a swing to her head making her fall.

Catwoman though using the moment as an advantage quickly mounted her as she forced the captured redheads attention to herself.

"It's about Marcus."

The moment that name rang out of Selena's mouth the redhead grew silent and stopped struggling as she quietly observed the woman on top of him.

"How do you know that name." she questioned or rather demanded.

And she was bloody sure she would kill her if it was something she deemed dagerous for her beloved.
