Beginnings: Part 1

A simple job, that is where it all started.

The score was one million dollars held in Gotham Bank, which stealing was called "impossible" by the bank's manager.

Luckily you specialized in doing the impossible.

You were to wait for the infiltrator to cut the security cameras before you made a move with the rest of the crew.

When inside, you were to have the hacker you hired break into the digital lock.

After that, the money would be yours for the taking.

A easy job that needed a diverse team.

You were the gunman.

Your lifetime friend, Rox, was the hacker.

Rox was smart and beautiful, mostly known for her wavy, rose red hair.

The infiltrator was a different story all together.

Her name was Selina Kyle, she preferred Catwoman.

Selina's skills as a thief made her perfect for the job, and as long as she got a cut, she would aid in the robbery.

The escape plan was classic, a van that would get the team away from the bank in no time.

You had a plan, a team, and a escape plan.

"What could go wrong?" You thought.

The night of the heist was quiet, a unnerving thing for such a bustling city.

You checked your watch.

Twelve O Clock Midnight.

Time to begin.

Selina scaled the wall as Rox got into the outer lock systems.

Rox: This system is easy, I expected more from a bank.

X: less talk, more robbery.

Rox stocked her tongue out at you as she went through code after code.

You could faintly her Selina destroy the security cameras.

As Gotham became more advanced, most high value buildings relied on a completely digital system, which would be a perfect setup, if not for hackers.

Rox: Got it, we're good.

X: great.

Selina opened the door and hushed the two of you.

The bank lobby was large and ornate, with the large bank vault in the far back.

The quietness of the bank bothered you, it was almost to easy to get into the bank.

Then again, you were professional.

The vault door was massive, a large, circular door made of pure steel, impossible to blow open, though the digital age created a opening in the impenetrable door.

Selina: So I'm assuming you two have a plan.

Rox: Yep, the vault door is connected to the rest of the security system, cameras included, when you took out the cameras, the vault entered a fail safe mode where only the bank manager can open it.

Selina: Right, so how does that help us?

Rox: When the vault enters it's failsafe mode, the security codes become shorter due to power going to surveillance, makes getting on easier.

X: Time is money.

Selina: (laughs) agreed.

Rox had just reached the final line of code in the vault's security as their conversation ended.

Within moments, the sweet sound of disengaging locks rang through the building.

The vault was opening, with it's untold riches within.

When the opening was large enough to walk through, the group rushed in, with Selina jumping over you.

Selina: Ladies first.

X: Smart ass.

The inside of the vault was somehow larger on the inside, as three floors of marble tiled rooms containing stacks of money were held within.

With the click of a key on her labtop, Rox unlocked the rooms.

Rox: Time to party.

The next hour was pure bliss for a thief, with each room containing a new batch of precious currency.

With bags filled with cash and hopeful intentions in their minds, the group exited the vault.

Rox locked the vault behind them, wishing to leave a surprise for the bank manager the next morning.

The heist was a success, one million in cash was theirs, all there was left to do was to simply walk out of the bank.

That is when things became complicated.

Selina quickly pulled both you and Rox against a wall hidden in shadow.

X: What the hell cat!? What are you doing!?

Selina: Quiet.

You did as Selina said, and silenced yourself.

When the bank became completely quiet, the sounds of a police cruiser could be heard outside.

Rox: Shit! There must have been a silent alarm!

Selina: How did you miss that!?

Rox: It must have been installed recently!

You thought of a alternate means of escape, though you did not have a plan B.

There was a fire exit door behind the bank.

X: The front door is a no go, we need to use the fire exit door in the back of the bank.

Selina: that door has a alarm system of it's own, genius!

X: it's a risk we will have to take.

Rox: He's right, we either make a run through the back alleys or get arrested.

Selina shrugged and left the wall.

Selina: Try to keep up.

Selina put her goggles over her eyes, and ran for the fire exit door, with you and Rox in tow.

With a powerful and agile kick, Selina opened the door, with the loud alarm blaring as a result.

The group didn't hesitate, and ran through the narrow alleys.

A officer with his gun drawn caused you to make a sharp right, separating you from the rest of the group that took to the left.

Seeing you as the primary threat, the officer quickly set his chase on you.

Though the officer was the stereotypical, mildly weighted man, he gave a strong chase.

You were close to escape, that was until fate stepped in.

Another officer, a decently built man, stood in your way.

Surrounded, you thought that your luck had finally run out.

Then, in a flash, a black figure jumped from the rooftops and quickly dispatched the officers.

The figure was revealed to be Selina, whom had returned to save you.

Selina: Miss me?

Rox ran towards you.

Rox: X! Are you ok?

X: Just dandy

Selina: Save the small talk for later, we need to go. There is a sewer grate not to far from here.

Rox: Then let's go.

The group reached the sewer entrance.

X: Alright, I will hold up the sewer grate, you two go in.

Rox and Selina entered the sewer, which smelled awful, as one could expect.

You were gearing to enter the foul smelling underground when you heard a voice shout.

Voice: Freeze! Hands in the air!

X: Go, I will be fine.

Rox: No!

Selina: We need to go Rox.

Rox reluctantly followed Selina deeper into the sewers, leaving you behind.

You did as the officer said, and put your hands in the air as you got on your knees.

You were quickly handcuffed and thrown into the back of a police cruiser.

Though you were the one who was arrested, you still worried for Rox and Selina.

You wouldn't rat them out, not for anything.

Your mind began to wonder what would happen next.
