Encounter with Catwoman

Malcolm quickly regained his senses: "It was a dark day, and I was taken by surprise by a woman. She wore a long overcoat, long black hair, and held a long knife, and then..."

Thea listened with a strange expression on her face. The first half of that sentence was about Lady Shiva, right? Dad, you're really good at this. He signaled a thumbs-up to Malcolm in a way that Tommy didn't notice, meaning you're really good at this...

Malcolm couldn't express his pain at that moment, so he just held on, fearing they would come back with more of those embarrassing questions, which would make him send them away under the pretext of feeling dizzy.

Not wanting to tell the truth, he had no choice but to leave it with him. Thea said goodbye to Tommy and contacted several media outlets.

Things went well. The origin of Thea and Tommy's family played a key role. All the media outlets that received the invitation expressed their determination to participate in this major event.

...

Three days later, the Star City Police Department and Queen Group officially held an autograph and gift event. Naturally, the protagonist of the meeting at this time would not be Thea. After all, the president was still Moira.

She had briefly discussed financial support with her mother before, but neither of them cared much because the money wasn't much and was like a drop in the ocean compared to the good reputation she had earned.

Watching her mother speak on stage about the dedication and sacrifices of the police department for Star City, and about the beautiful landscapes of the future, I must say Moira really has political talent. Her false and empty words are like a spring breeze, infecting subtly. I believe that if she enters politics in the future, today's accomplishments will be a good start.

To not steal the spotlight from her mother, Thea dressed casually today. She ditched the damn business suit and opted for a girl-next-door outfit: t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and her long hair tied in a ponytail.

Felicity sat beside Thea. She was disgusted by this kind of political show, but she came to have fun because she was bored. The two whispered to each other from time to time.

In the distance, two girls talked about something private, a very warm and beautiful scene, but if you listened carefully to their whispers, your jaw would drop.

"You haven't solved the missile issue? Flying fast without weapons is useless."

"I'm anxious too, but it's really hard to handle. To draw the weapon, three people need to sign, and there's also a code lock that changes every day."

"I can hack the password lock and just change the contract. Besides, your software is terrible... Don't look at me. I'm telling the truth. You can only solve this if you sign."

"Do you think that will work? Let's put the skate first, and I'll steal some gangsters. They should have thermal weapons... But I think the missiles are useless..." That was the best way Thea came up with.

"That's a solution, but how do you deal with those thugs?" Felicity said, making a punching motion. "They won't fight with you."

"I can shoot arrows. Trust me, the effective range of a gun is only fifty meters. My arrows can shoot up to about a hundred meters without making noise..."

"The female Robin Hood flying in the sky? She's very pretty!" Felicity's eyes sparkled as she mentioned the adventure, wishing she could go back and ride it now.

At this moment, the meeting in the court was still ongoing, and Moira was also considering expanding her influence. This time, she attracted almost all the prominent people in the city. For the safety of these dignitaries, the police inspector ordered the entire city to come. All the policemen were transferred back to the station. Although Detective Lance opposed a little, he finally let the matter pass silently.

Just as Moira was making her final speech, indicating that the activities of the following dinner could proceed, the main lights in the venue went out with a "pop", and then the surrounding lights also emitted the same sound "pop" as planned, and darkness engulfed them for a moment in this noisy hall.

"What's happening? John, come protect me..."

"Darling, come to me."

"Police, hurry, someone is stealing my purse."

There was chaos everywhere. This scene was very familiar. It had appeared countless times in movies and TV shows. It must have been made by man. But Thea didn't expect someone to be so bold and commit a crime under the noses of 1,500 policemen. She and Felicity were sitting in the corner, thinking that no one would attack them, so she told her to be careful, closed her eyes, felt Moira's position, and quickly ran.

"Come with me quickly." Thea pulled her mother and ran after her without saying a word, but Moira was in the middle of the crowd at this moment. At this moment, the environment was dark and chaotic. It wasn't so easy to get out there. It took a long time to fight. She didn't walk more than two meters.

Just as Thea was about to stop using violence to make her way, a figure quickly approached her in her perception. The target seemed to be Moira's purse?

"What a daring thief, stealing my mother's things right in front of us! You don't take me seriously!"

With her left hand, she moved Moira back and said, "Stay back."

"Be careful." Moira didn't dare to call her daughter's name for fear of retaliation from the thugs. She had to say she was really a person who had seen strong winds and waves. At this moment, her tone was still very calm.

As the environment was very chaotic and she didn't know how many enemies there were, Thea decided to fight quickly and ran towards the figure.

As she approached, she realized that although the environment was as dark as ink, there were two faintly blinking red lights on the visitor's face that she couldn't even notice unless she looked closely. Huh? Thea was stunned and immediately understood. This man was using infrared equipment. No wonder he found his target so quickly. This wasn't just an ordinary thief, he was a high-tech thief.

I deeply hated this person for disrupting the activities I had organized for several days, so I punched him in the chest. Although the person had infrared equipment, I didn't know who was who. I just felt that the person in front of me was different from the woman I saw at that time. The figure didn't match her, so he didn't care, then grabbed her fist and pushed it to the left.

But she didn't expect Thea to take a misstep and use her strength to kick him to the side.

"Huh?" She didn't expect there to be a guy with good skills among a group of dignitaries, but the thief wasn't paying much attention to Thea.

But how is that possible? After several days of training with Lady Shiva, it's hard to say how much real combat has improved. However, Thea's own perception was used very skillfully, automatically blocking the chaotic crowd around her and focusing on the black figure.

The crowd around her made it impossible for her to use her leg skills, so she could only use close kung fu, various fighting techniques, and boxing techniques. She wasn't looking to kill the enemy, but just wanted to entangle him. After a while, as the lights came on and there were 1,500 angry policemen waiting for him.

The visitor also understood this truth, saw Thea's intention, and knew that his plan for today might not go smoothly, but he still wanted to do his best, so he no longer restrained himself at the moment and was ready to give it his all, and get rid of this obstacle first.

When the visitor pointed at Thea, the pressure on her suddenly increased. However, with her perception fully activated, every move of the opponent was very clear to her. She could also use all her strength to move forward and apply what she had learned.

At this moment, Detective Lance's voice came from afar: "Hurry up and switch to backup power. Group two, go get the heavy weapons."

Upon hearing the footsteps of the police, the visitor became extremely irritated. No matter how well he fought, he couldn't contain over a thousand people holding rifles.

I thought it was just a simple mission. I went out to relax and have fun. I didn't expect to be dragged here. Couldn't step outside. Couldn't escape even if I wanted to. The opposite enemy wasn't weak either, and he couldn't tell who it was. Normally, I would be able to tell who it was. People with this kind of combat ability should be rare.

Thea was also unhappy. Although the police had lost a lot of reputation, the activities she had worked so hard to organize were completely ruined. This left her in a bad mood. Even though the person on the other side wasn't bad at fighting skills, even compared to her.

The two gradually showed some real fire. They were agile and fast, and the situation reached a stalemate for a while.

"The" side lights slowly turned on. Thea stopped her hand half a second before the lights turned on and stood in the middle of the crowd, trying to be a graceful spectator.

She didn't want to expose her abilities yet, after all, in the eyes of the abductor, a knife could be enough to tie up a weak young woman. But if you tie up someone who knows how to fight well, you'll have to bring a submachine gun with you.

Whether she's pretending to be a maiden or trying to remain discreet, either way, Thea is prepared to maintain her image as a white and harmless flower.

With the dim light, Thea looked at the opposite figure, huh? Wearing black stockings, high-heeled boots with a butterfly mask, and seductive red lips under the delicate nose, is that Catwoman? If she's not in Gotham, why did she sneak into our event?

As the lights around gradually increased, Catwoman also knew that today's recreational activities were about to turn into a life or death escape.

He cast a penetrating glance at Thea. Although she blended into the crowd and pretended to be nothing, she had been fighting Catwoman for a long time and there were some traces of battle on her body. This shouldn't be too obvious to Catwoman, who is known for her sharp eyes when sliding doors and picking locks.

Hearing the steps approaching closer and closer, the light around became clearer. Catwoman's situation was very unfavorable. Thea had cunningly chosen the location of the fight right in the middle of the hallway. Now there were people around, and the nearest window was ten meters away from her current position.

Although the police officers aren't as good at fighting as the heroes, they aren't all useless. Some of them with flexible bodies and clear minds quickly ran towards Catwoman, drawing their weapons as they ran. There's no way not to spot her, Catwoman, dressed in leather amidst a group of people in suits and dresses. Unless you have cerebral palsy, it's impossible not to see her.

Just as Thea was whistling and preparing to see how she would get out, a cylinder was thrown through the window, with a "bang," it hit the ground, and thick white smoke enveloped the venue hall.

Smoke bomb? The originally stable situation became chaotic again. Fortunately, Detective Lance was experienced and kept order loudly. He ordered his men to open the windows and turn on the high-power blower.

As her vision gradually restored, Catwoman, who was originally surrounded by the crowd, had long since disappeared.

It would be very embarrassing for me to let you escape so arrogantly. Seeing several bodyguards coming to her mother's side, Thea went to Felicity confidently and whispered, "Check the city's surveillance cameras and take a look. I'll get her."

"One street ahead, about 600 meters away," Felicity quickly began to operate and soon spotted Catwoman under the camera.

How long does it take to run that far in high heels? Thea put on a headset and said, "Help me find the way she should go, and I'll block her."

After saying that, she didn't go through the main entrance but opened the window and ran out.

It was already around nine o'clock in the evening, and the surroundings were dark. Thea wasn't afraid of being discovered by pedestrians. As for the cameras along the way, Felicity turned them off every minute without discussion.

"Turn left."

"Detour 100 meters ahead."

"Turn right under the billboard."

This was the first time Thea and Felicity had cooperated, and it must be said that the two cooperated perfectly for the first time. After running at full speed for three minutes, Thea finally blocked Catwoman in front of her.

"Hey, are you Catwoman, right? Why do you want to come to Star City?" Is she here for sightseeing? Or could it be that the people from Gotham, with their simple folk customs, want to come to Star City to establish a piece of the city? They should ask. At the same time, she also wanted to delay her for time, so she ran at full speed. A little out of breath.

Catwoman looked at her, and her expression was really ugly. She carefully compared her memories and confirmed the identity of the little girl in front of her. "Thea Queen? I never thought a rich girl could be capable of this." Those skills, I really don't understand the thoughts of you rich people.

There's a hint of resentment in those words: are you talking about me? Why don't you think it's the same thing? Thea was a little confused. Although this Catwoman is not a heroine, she's not a villain either. Looking at the outline of her face, she looks a bit like Anne Hathaway. Her original desire for revenge disappeared a bit, so appearance is very important.

It's rare to find someone with skills similar to mine, as it was just the place to make a few gestures, and Thea didn't intend to let her go easily.

Seeing that she didn't respond to her question, Thea continued to ask, "What is your purpose in coming to Star City?"

Catwoman said calmly, "I'm just passing through, little girl, you're too nervous."

It was pitch black now. Although I had the senses to observe, the crowd was too chaotic and seriously affected her performance. Thea felt that the fight now was very unpleasant. Since you didn't tell the truth, let's continue the fight.

Catwoman also felt that she had been in the world for many years, and today her golden place was destroyed by a girl. She felt extremely unhappy. Seeing her running, she also expressed that she wanted to educate her and let her know how powerful her opponent was and that she should be cautious in the world in the future.

The two fought again after three minutes. Thea completely regained her vision, and there was no noisy interference around her. She showed all her strength.

Catwoman felt that she had run far enough, and the police personnel couldn't catch up with her for a while, and she no longer had the sense of urgency she had now. Faced with Thea's fierce offensive, she used her many years of fighting experience to deal with it cautiously.

For a while, the two were playing chess and were about to find a good opponent. Thea won because of her strong perception, while Catwoman had rich experience in street fights. She could always use some roadblocks, trees, and the like to resist attacks. Neither of them could do anything for a while.

As the physical strength of the two women dwindled, Thea gradually gained the upper hand. This was mainly because Catwoman was fighting and wearing high heels. This person's sense of balance is really unusual, it's extremely strong, and she can do it even wearing high heels. Several high kicks, somersaults, and other moves made Thea want to write a big word "abnormal" on Catwoman's forehead.

Seeing that Catwoman's breathing was getting more and more confused, and her steps were no longer as firm as before, Thea knew that victory was not far away. After all, she was still human. If she could defeat herself while wearing high heels, then the training was really in vain. Wasting the teachings of Malcolm and Shiva.
