LET'S GO

      “ What about your.. darker thoughts. How are they going for you? “ She seems so sincere. To a point, she is. Harleen learned from the best. The more open she acts, the more secrets they’ll drop. The more value her novel will be worth. Though, part of her wants a different ideal now. Something more fun than before. “ Are they doing any better? “ 

      A PART OF HER WANTED to announce that she could have handled it herself.  Or, at least, gotten out of the situation without aid.  Yet, she kept the thoughts quiet, as she supposed she shouldn’t shoot down help when it was given.  Still, she didn’t speak GRATITUDE, either, if only to maintain some semblance of power within the circumstance.  Albeit, a meager sort, and she crossed her arms with a huff fleeing dried lips.

                  “Depends on wha’ you consider t o o young I guess.  Been this way for a few years now, so a’this point I feel old.”  Wry smirk was offered before glancing to the fallen.  “Less than acquaintances.  But m’called Cat.  I guess tha’s a name you might be familiar with…  Sort of.”

       “ In a way. “ Trance-like saunters round the casualties. The Bat would be upset by the fact, even though he’s left his own fair share behind. A quick kneel down, surveying what lay within pockets. Not as if they needed any of it. Money helped those who were still alive, not those who were departed. Save for families abandoned with funeral costs, but men like this often had a large sum left behind. 

That was all he wanted, really. Well, besides have a family of his own and be the best king he could be. Arthur smiled, his cheeks warming, before he slid both hands into his pockets.

                  “…thanks, Mom. And yeah, yeah I do know.”

Seeing her there still felt like a dream. His dad had been shocked and was now acting like a lovesick schoolboy ( like father like son! ), and Orm…he was sure that his baby brother was glad to see their mother back. 

    “ Have you.. spoken to your brother yet? “ 

Deluded as Orm might have become due to Orvax, Atlanna still only wanted what was best for him. Being King certainly wasn’t that. She knew from the moment Arthur was born that he was the one true King, the only one who could end the war between worlds. Orvax wanted Orm to be the catalyst to destroy the land-dwellers. Despite Atlanna’s best teachings, Orm wouldn’t listen to her. At least Mera was willing to learn.

     Usually, the bums on the street would be referencing her when it came to the feline references. But, these men seemed far more structured than usual, and she could swear they were referring to the girl standing near her. It wasn’t hard to take the boys down-- Selina herself grew up on the streets of Gotham. You have to learn to protect yourself then. 

Now, that had caught her off guard. Only briefly, and cat’s always land on their feet. The damage to the building is likely going to come out of the man’s own pocket. Shame for him, part of the crime of being a hero. The Bat always did it himself, but this is someone else’s territory. All the shiny new things just waiting to be taken. But, blasts from some form of a laser beam aren’t welcome. Taking a backwards glance his way, the cat has little intention of letting him get away with it.
