╰ ⭐️ : PURROWESS / CATWOMAN.
it’s a quarter to nine , the auction is about to start . some charity for folks who already have money but not enough . ladies in long gloves will bid in place of their husbands , throwing away cash just for the tax deduction . and so , why not grab at a little of that free money , eh ? it’s just sitting in the basement in a glass case , waiting for her ! the showcased piece , a necklace easily worth hundreds of thousands of dollars . rare red diamonds set in white gold . selina figures it probably weighs just as much as she does !
as the chairman begins a toast to whatever , whatever blah blah blah , all attention is to the stage . this means that security should be headed down for the loot in the next ten minutes or so ( if she’s timed this right ) and five minutes is all that the catwoman needs ! enough time to slip out of the gala , do a quick costume change and sneak in downstairs .
“ too easy . . . ” two minutes later , she’s in full catsuit with security cameras and sensors disarmed . all that’s left is to slip in and make off with the – “ what the hell . . . ” a remark made under her breath as she peers down through a grate in the ceiling . there’s someone already in there . . . but how ? ugh . nevermind . she’ll have time to ponder this later . right now , she has two minutes and thirty seconds to get up out outta here .
silently , selina slips down , landing noiselessly onto the floor behind him . one careful step forward . . . and then one more . . . last . . . one . . . aaaaaand KICK !!!! she throws out a leg , sweeping out towards his feet , hoping to get an upper hand . after all , she only has two minutes left .
it’s the perfect heist. gotham’s richest gathered in one place, their money ripe for the picking. he’d planned this night countless times over the last two weeks, carefully calculating multiple scenario’s and escape routes. if he managed to weasel out of this with even just the necklace, it would be a killing made for several months. how he managed to reach the room in such a timely fashion is all minor details, really, involving an old and unsealed laundry passage from before anyone alive could remember. what mattered in the moment was relieving the glass case of its most expensive piece of jewelry.
the only problem, something he hadn’t planned for, was --- and WHAM ! full weight goes crashing to the ground as the force of her feet sweep him to the ground. an audible groan and bright blues are searching for the source of his recent misfortune. a cat --- THE CAT. and someone once told him that the feline type and their infamous reputation was all some lie fed to you by some dog-loving propagandist. gloved hands are quick as they swipe at her ankles, hoping to bring her down with him.
it’s halfway into the motion that he realizes that his biggest problem might not actually be the competition. jim’s attempt to fend her off come to an abrupt halt as time is of the essence. “ whoa, whoa. we can talk about this. you need me, i need you. we don’t have much time to contemplate that much, but the case is armed with another alarm. if we’re going to disarm it in time, we need two sets of hands. “ he’s not even off the ground before he’s making propositions. “ i know you probably don’t play well with others, but what do you say ? fifty, fifty ? “
