Catwoman- have we met? DCRP/Parody. Own take, but Brubaker/Cooke era is my main vibe. Villain, if you believe what some people say. Hero, if you’re optimistic. But I know whose side I’m on…I have a soft spot for strays & uptight boy-scouts.

I've finally picked up on Chapter 2 of #Catwoman 'I've Got my reasons' one of many poor, neglected #fanfictions. Starts & ends with classic BatCat badinage with lots of Selina being a magnificent bastard to people who absolutely deserve it inbetween. #batman archiveofourown.org/works/501784...
Cat and Bat, from Batman: The Rebirth #50.

“Well. That’s pretty much how we do it where I’m from. In fact, Pinky promises are SACRED…”

She narrows her eyes..

“Just one more thing. Favours carry over into your other regenerations. Right?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
“Hmmm.” She’s not quite sure she believes him. There’s something else going on here.

“Kid, I’ve seen you take a punch from Solomon Grundy and give it back to him tenfold. I…am a little surprised being called a name gets to you so much.”

“Interesting” she purrs . “But are you really that upset he called you a brat? I mean…you’ve been called much worse than that by other members of the Family…?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
“Well. That is part of the Bat brand.”

She uncurls Hecate from around her neck and sends her over to cheer Damian up. It always soothes him.

“Right. And uh, ‘future guy’? Some weird time travel stuff?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
She rolls her eyes as she senses the hesitation….

“Oh not a monetary cost, Doctor. I know money doesn’t mean much to you and I myself can ‘get it’ if I need to, no…I mean a FAVOUR.”

“Ok…it’s late, I need coffee so we’ll take these one at a time - a twip is?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
“Who did? And I take it this wasn’t in a friendly banter sorta way…?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
She’s been pretty well-behaved of late. Mission focused. Kind to Bats and strays…

Time to be bad again. Just to remind everyone she can…

“…oh c’mon Hardy, don’t tell me I shut you up THAT easily?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
“Uh oh. What’s happened now?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
“You’d better not. I ‘d have to come all the way to the afterlife just to tell you off. And that would make me even more pissed.”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
Heh. I suppose it did…but didn’t you have our boy Damian for a while?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
“Is that what your daddy told you , darling?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
1.Fair. Though I am nicer than Batman.
2. Hmm...
3. True.
4. Just checking.
5. I’ll remember that…
6. Hmm.
7. Ok
8. I dare say..…
9. “If”.
10. Beneath all that bluster you really are a good old fashioned hero, aren’t you?
11. ‘Old money’?? I really do brush up well…
12. Yeah. That’s fightin’ talk…

"Why is every version of me just so damn awesome?"

“It was the only time we really had to see each other back then. And we were still working out the…kinks in our relationship too.”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
She smiles at an old, fond memory.

“Like that time he told you to ‘Go round up some evidence’?”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
She sees the look on Lian's face and sighs.

"Yeah, I know you got your issues with him kid. That puts you in...rather a large group of people. That sometimes also includes me."
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
She feels his hands curve around her waist and feels…taken, but not trapped.

“Dying?“ she frowns and shakes her head. “…not without my permission.”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
She traces her fingers across his stubble.

“Because we’re two parts of the same lost soul…angel and devil. Detective and thief. Paragon and scoundrel. How it works I don’t know…”

She cups her fingers around his jaw.

“…but I do know I feel more complete when you’re near.”
irenedubrovna.bsky.social
Selina always enjoys making Lian laugh. She shrugs.

“I mean…it’s Batman. He likes to be prepared for every possible situation…”
