Grabbing our costumes we ran to the top of the building. Preparing to leave, to go off to get that jewel. No matter the cost. With each of are special skills, and powers.

I slipped on my sleek black spandex long sleeve leotard over my ripped black tights. Threw on a hooded leather jacket, and strapped on my silver dagger, and leather whip (you know like Indiana Jones's except black) underneath the hood my golden braided hair spilled down my shoulder. I was now Nightshade. Poison to my enemy's and all who stood in my way.

Kat came out next or Kitty of the Birds of Prey wearing a dark purple cocktail dress with a long cut down one leg, and behind her a short dark green cape, and a cat shaped mask with ears and everything. Her wavey black hair fell on her cape. Her gloves with retractable razor sharp claws were on. She was practically purring for some action.

Last was Susan or Crossbow, named after her weapon of choice. Wearing a purple leotard with a long dark blue cape. With long deep purple gloves up to her shoulders, and a pointed mask. With a utility belt lined with bolts for her crossbow that was also strapped on. Her straight black hair was pinned behind her ears. Ready, aim, fire! She wouldn't miss no matter the shot.

So we ran over the roof tops silently preparing ourselves for the challenge.
We were gonna do it the biggest heist of our lives. We were gonna get away with it too I thought. I landed on the roof of the Gotham Museum.

Susan starts out "Okay Nightshade do you thing. " Below her a white ferret jumps at her feet... She picks it up "Nightshade hurry up!" she shouts at the ferret.

Woah woah woah let me explain... you see I have powers while Crossbow and Kitty have awww- somme gadgets, not to mention we are ALL acrobats and master theifs, hackers, con artists, and vigilantes who occasionally save people, no big deal.

So back to my powers. Not gonna go into my back story, wellllllll not yet. You see I can shape shift, NO not like Martion Manhunter I can't do objects or people... only animals. I still am figuring out most of my powers so.... Right now I can shift into animals, talk to them while human, and talk in human languages while as an animal, also understand all human languages, and call on the powers (speed, strength, agility, hearing, sight, smell) of animals while human also. Not trying to brag but its pretty cool!

Now my weaknesses are..... WAIT hold up why am I telling you now. Huh. You could work for the enemy, if not I'm sorry no offense can't be to careful these days, hope you like the suspense.

So yea right now I was a white ferret. Anyway back to the story. Where was I... Oh yea Crossbow!

"Nightshade hurry up, " she tells the ferret or me " Draco Malfoy I will start throwing you in the air! " she warns. I look up at her, and roll my ferret shaped eyes. "I'm going! Don't go all trim on me." I tell her. (yea I'm weird... trim is an insult I'll explain later!)

So in my weasel like body I crawl into a five inch ventilation shaft. As I navigate the labyrinth of pipes, and tunnels, I poke my head out right next to a security camera. Below it is the security box.

I leap onto the light hanging above it. As I change back into my self, the light creaks dangerously, the ceiling cracks above it. "CRAP!" I whisper furiously muttering curses at the light. I grab my dagger, hook my legs around the light as it groans in protest. "Hold, don't fall, don't break, stay!" I tell the light.

I pop open the panel on the camera. Wiggle my knife in the "secret"slot that will make all the cameras in the museum short out and play on continuous loop. I then flip down from the light, and get to work on the security box.

As soon as I open it, I get hacking, under 30 seconds I'm done. I'm just THAT good. Seriously it wasn't that hard!

I radio back to the girls. "Hey security's down, come on in."

Soon the three of us are standing outside the room with our prey inside. Kitty's turn so she takes charge, "Crossbow shoot one of your smoke arrows right at my feet." she tells her. Crossbow does so sending smoke everywhere, revealing a grid work of lasers.

"Watch me work!" Kitty exclaims.

She jumps in the tangle of blue. (blue lasers are harder to see than red or green) Avoiding all the lasers she jumps, ducks, rolls, flips, and even gets cocky enough to dance. Yes dance thought the lasers that with one touch could set off enough alarms to wake all of Gotham. And you know put us away for life no biggie...

As soon as she got out she ran to a control panel, she cut a wire with those claws of hers. And then we were there within two feet of over 40 million. A rock worth more then sanely possible. All Crossbow had to do was crack the safe.

We all gave her room to work. She started humming. As she probed the safe with her fingertips until we heard a hiss. Her eyes widened in surprise! She grabbed a bolt from her crossbow, and stabbed where the noise came from. The safe soundlessly cracked open.

I carefully reached in and extracted something larger than my fist. Wow it was larger than a softball. No wonder this diamond was so expensive. A SOFTBALL! I carefully put it in Cb's pouch.

"Let's blow this Popsicle stand!" I shout, as I turned into a mouse. I silently creep behind the guard and turn into a panther. I pounce, he shouts but falls and hits his head on his desk KOing him.

"show off... " Crossbow teases, "Fine," I tell her "you just up set you didn't get to shoot more." She firers a shoot off the roof zip lining to the apartment roof next door. Kitty and I followed close behind.

About 2 blocks away I feel eyes. Like ya know that creepy feeling you get when someone's watching you. I stop to look around, but nothings there. Maybe I'm just paranoid after the heist, but I swear someone's here. But then we hear a scream.

Its a scream of a girl. So of course I run to it. When I get there I see a girl about 13 by the looks of it. She's backed up in a cornor. She has her fists up she's about to fight her way past 5 guys. 2 with knifes (one had a handlebar mustache, yes like in those old black and white films), 1 with a chain, another with brass knuckles, the last was unarmed but had a cigarette between his lips.

I whistle and shout,"HEY BOYS!" Dude with a cigarette turns toward me "You want some too. " he growls.
THAT. SET. ME. OFF.
I lunged darted under his arm slung my whip and yanked as hard as I could then kicked back. I heard a loud SNAP!!! I think it was his leg snapping because he screamed and fell to the ground. Kitty valted off the roof and on top of the guy with the chain.

On top of him she excitedly crowed, "Hey good job Nightshade you saved us some goons!" the guys with a knifes, and the other with brass knuckles came toward me. (apparently the cigarette dude was their leader go figure right!?)

WHAT!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

"What the-!!!" I mutter as 1 of the knife whackos is pined against the wall with arrows. Then Crossbow comes out of no where (yea the arrows make sense now) and slams her fist into one guys face, making him say stuff that it not rated pg13.

FREEZE! OR THE GIRL GETS IT!!!

I whipped around. That slime ball with the mustache had the girl, with his knife against her throat. He had a bloody nose which was weird cause none of us had touched him yet. Then some one spoke.

"Let me go now and a broken nose won't be the only thing I give you!" the girl said. Ahhh so she's the reason the idiot was bleeding. I think I really like this girl. And that gave me courage. I turned in to a mountain lion and leapt at him. But before I reached him I changed into a falcon. And scratched and clawed at his eyes blinding him.

He let go of the girl and cried, yes no screaming, wailing, shouting, other words not suitable for public. Nothing. He fell and cried yea wasn't expecting that. Kind of disappointing. The girl looked down and kicked him hard in the face. I sooooo like her.

"here," she held out her hand on it was a piece of paper. "its my phone and address call or come over if you ever need help or a place to stay. My names Williams, Grace Williams." Grace turned "Thanks for the help!" she called as she walked away. She was cool, real cool.

"Uh-oh! " Kitty said

I hate uh-oh, nothing is ever good when people say uh-oh.

Crossbow turned around "Big Uh-oh!"

There it was again! I hate uh-oh!

I slowly turned around, "Major uh-oh" I muttered.

Standing in front of me was none other than Gotham's protecter,
The Batman.
