I do not own batman or any of the characters except Catherine and her pets. That being said, I hope you enjoy this story.

My name is Catherine Kyle. To answer your question, yes Selina Kyle AKA Catwoman is my mother. My mother had a relationship with Bruce Wayne for a little while. Bruce longed for their friendship to blossom into something more.

However, there was a slight complication. My mother was in love with Batman. Well, it was more of a love hate relationship. She would steal something and he would capture her and turn her into the authorities.

Selena AKA Catwoman POV

I sat eyeing a cats eye necklace with a beautiful gold cat replica with emerald eyes through a ceiling window. Carefully I used my claws to create a small whole in the window just big enough to put my hand through to open the latch.

It didn't take me long and soon I was close to my prize. I could easily take it without tripping the alarm but I hadn't seen Batsy for such a long time. It seemed to me, that a reunion was long over due. So I purposefully tripped the alarm as she stepped near the necklace's case.

"Back to your old habits so soon Selina?" Came the deep voice of Batman from behind her.

"I tried being a good little kitty, but they make it so hard. I mean come on, how do they expect anyone to afford such a beautiful necklace. It aught to be a crime. It just screams me don't you think?" I replied with a playful smile.

Batman blocked my way to the case and replied "that's not the point. The point is that you can't just go around stealing whatever suits your fancy."

I sighed "come on, it's not really stealing. It's borrowing from those who can afford it. Besides, this jewelry store is run by one of the biggest crooks in Gotham. Can't you look the other way just this once?"

"You know I can't and it doesn't matter who owns the store. Stealing is stealing. I don't want to have to do this, but you've left me no choice. I'm going to have to turn you in for breaking and entering." Batman replied.

"You'll have to catch me first." I replied with a smile. A few seconds later, I was on the roof followed closely behind by Batman. Within seconds he had me cornered.

"Don't you know cornering a cat can be dangerous? I could strike at you at any moment." I warned him cracking my whip at him and twitching my tail.

"Your not a wild animal, Selina your a woman." Batman replied getting closer to her. Just as I was about to jump off the roof Batman grabbed me by my arm and pulling me close to him.

"Let go of me!" I snarled and yet, I couldn't help but hold my breath as he drew me close to him and gave me a deep kiss. Just when I thought he was going to let me go free, he slapped his batcuffs on me.

"I should have known. Always the man of justice. Can't let anything slide. They will throw the book at me." I said with a sigh.

"I know." Batman replied his voice laced with sadness.

"I'll never be given another chance for parole." I replied.

"I know. Which is why this makes this so much harder." Batman replied his voice still laced with sadness.

"I didn't actually steal anything." I stated.

"But you were going too weren't you?" Batman replied.

"I thought about it but I don't want to be caged again. I'm a free spirit, I need my freedom. I didn't have to trip the alarm you know... I could have gotten away free and clear." I tell him.

"Then why did you?" Batman asked.

"Why do you think Bats? I missed our late night interactions." I replied with a wink. "I guess this is the end huh?" I replied with a slight pout.

Batman looked deep into my eyes and then did something I never expected him to do. He released me from the cuffs. I looked at him puzzled for a moment then jumped off the ledge using my whip to swing over to the nearby roof. "Until next time bats."I said with a smile blowing  him a kiss 😘 with my hand before disappearing into the distance.

Batman POV

Eventually, I allowed Selena to escape. She hadn't really broken into the building, nor had She stolen anything. She had purposefully set off the security alarm in order for me to seek her out.

When I returned to the manor I sat down to read the paper. Catwoman released on probation how long will it last? Read one headline. "How long indeed?" I replied as I continued to read the paper. "I'm in love with her Alfred." I confided in my butler who was the closet thing he had to family. You see, my parents had been murdered when I was just a young boy, and Alfred raised Me. My parent's murder was never solved she so I became Batman to seek vengeance.

"In love with who sir?" Alfred asked fairly sure he already knew the answer. Then smiling at Me he asked "shall I invite Mrs Kyle over for dinner tomorrow night Master Bruce?"

I shook my head no much to the dispair of Alfred. "It would never work Alfred."

"You never know until you try." Alfred replied.

"She's in love with someone else." I reply with a frustrated sigh.

"Oh?" Alfred asked cocking an eyebrow.

"She is in love with Batman." I replied sighing in frustration again.

"Oh dear. I see the problem. So that's a no for dinner then?" Alfred replies.

It was then that I read a headline that I knew would catch Selina's eye. One I knew would arose not only her attention but her anger as well. Two tiger cross breads to be put to sleep and taxidermied.

"Alfred how's the Wayne foundation sanctuary for large cats coming along?"

"I'm sorry the what sir?" Alfred asked confused.

"The Wayne foundation for large cats." I replied laying down the paper so Alfred to could read the headline.

"Oh dear. Just how big a Sanctuary are we talking about sir?" Alfred asked not sure he wanted to know the answer.

I smiled as I placed the paper back on the table. "I've got to go Alfred, I have a feeling my night isn't over yet." I replied heading towards the bat cave to don my suit once more.

Alfred sighed "Do be careful sir." He called to him and I smiled beneath my mask.

Selena POV

I slammed my fist down on the nearby table and growled. "How dare they even consider harming such beautiful creatures!" At this, my cat Isis meowed in surprise. "Oh I'm sorry Isis, I didn't mean to startle you." I said picking her up and petting her. Isis purred in reply. A few minutes later, I dawned my Catwoman costume and headed to the location where the tiger cross breeds were being held.

As I made my way to the roof of the building I heard a very familiar voice "Hello Selina."

"If it isn't the caped crusader. What took you so long?" I asked with a slight smile.

"Selina what are you doing here?" Batman asked with a slight frown.

"Your the detective you tell me." I replied rolling my eyes in irritation. This was one night that I didn't have time for their playful interaction.

"Just what is your plan Selina? You know your breaking your parole in coming here tonight." Batman replied with a sad sigh.

"What did you expect me to do? Just sit back and allow them to murder these poor helpless creatures?" I replied preparing for a battle.

Batman POV

"If you enter this building, there is no going back Selena. I will have no choice but to turn you into the authorities. You will be sent to Arckham."

At this, Selena's eyes sparkle as if She held some deep secret. "I can't go to back To Archam."

"That choice is entirely up to you."

Suddenly her eyes seemed filled with sadness and she glanced down at her stomach. "You don't understand. I can't go back to Archam. If I do, they will force me to..." Her eyes filled with tears and she turned away wrapping her arms around her.

"They will force you to do what Selena?" I asked in concern pulling her close to me in an effort to comfort her.

"They will take away my baby." She whispered.

"Your pregnant?" I reply my eyes widening in shock. "Who is the father?"

"None of your concern." She  replies pulling away from me. "I am not some charity case. If your going to arrest me, then do it otherwise stay out of my way!" Catwoman hissed.

I hesitated and for the first time ever, I felt conflicted. If I arrested her and brought her to the GCPD and she was sentenced to Arkham then who knew what they might to do her unborn child.

Technically, she hadn't actually done anything illegal yet. The key word though was yet. So far all she had done was look at the creatures sadly. Who could blame her? They were beautiful.

"I won't let those beautiful creatures be murdered. It's cruel and inhuman in fact, it's down right evil!" Catwoman growled cracking her whip at Me. "I am going to make them pay. I'm going to make that brut Macain suffer if it's the last thing I do!"

"Selina attacking Macain is suicide. He's too well guarded besides, I heard Bruce Wayne had a petition sent to the courts to have these cats considered an endangered species and for them to be protected. They are after all the only two of their kind in existence he's even setting aside a foundation for a large cat sanctuary. In an effort to preserve these beautiful creatures." I reply.

"We don't have time to wait for some petition to go through, just to be denied. Besides, it would take far too long for a sanctuary to be built. Action needs to be taken now! I'm sure you read the headline those poor creatures are going to be murdered tonight." Selina replied with a growl.

"Selina, you've got to know that this is a trap. Macain is a skilled hunter and he considers you the ultimate pray. He sent that headline to the papers knowing that you'd see it, and knowing how angry it would make you."

"He knows if you are caught, that it would be for the last time. Then he'd have the satisfaction of saying that he was responsible for the capture and permanent arrest of Catwoman. Don't let him win Selina, I'm begging you." I reply.
