- his cowl, from his wife.

Click.

“Selina.”

In the Slums of Gotham City — 11:33 PM

A distant argument bled through the walls of some half-collapsed apartment building—drug addicts, probably. Dealers. Or simply tenants bearing the sad misfortune of an inescapable hold from poverty. All of this, with the occasional bark -

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

- breeze and settling once more against his back.

Halfway down that very alley, he reached an imaginary barrier where the clues stopped—where he knew going beyond it would lead him to nothing.

Standing there, ever so calculating of damn near everything, in came a call through -

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

“Stop.”

[𝒜 𝒫𝓊𝓇𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉 ℒ𝒶𝒹𝓎— ♡ @PurrfextSelina]

“Well… true… but you liked it. Don’t even try to deny it.”

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

“Before kicking me through the window.”

[𝒜 𝒫𝓊𝓇𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉 ℒ𝒶𝒹𝓎— ♡ @PurrfextSelina]

Fun fact— this is the move I used to catch @VengeanceByDusk 😏🖤

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

“Hrnn,” was all that came out of Bruce’s mouth as he got up and walked away towards the stairs—dismissive, however not in the way one would think.

But yes. It was a yes.

[𝒜 𝒫𝓊𝓇𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉 ℒ𝒶𝒹𝓎— ♡ @PurrfextSelina]

Her smile when he broke away, was softer, a gentle tenderness only for him. With a slow nod, she brushed her lips against his again, once more. A lingering promise.

Her fingertips gently caressed the line of his face.

“I’ll clean up the kitchen for Alfred… ten minutes?”

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

@PurrfextSelina - enough to know that he was, in fact, enticed.

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

Bruce broke what was essentially one of her methods to reel him in and seduce him—a good kiss. It wasn’t out of opposition. Quite the opposite, actually.

“I’ll alert the League of a delay.”

On the outside, he wasn’t enticed at all. Not even in his speech. But Selina knew him -

[𝒜 𝒫𝓊𝓇𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉 ℒ𝒶𝒹𝓎— ♡ @PurrfextSelina]

She leaned forward, her breath teasing his lips.

“It’s about living. Enjoying the little moments without restraint. When you do— work seems a bit less important.”

Her lips captured his, her tongue sweeping through the whipped cream and melting it against his tongue.

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

How imposing.

(Not)

He ate and swallowed, answering with no change in tone—only calm, still.

“Do you know the heap of work there’d be the next day?”

[𝒜 𝒫𝓊𝓇𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉 ℒ𝒶𝒹𝓎— ♡ @PurrfextSelina]

can of whipped cream.

“Y’know, there’s more to life than work. It’s okay to take a day, or even a morning— off.”

She prodded his lips with the nozzle, until he opened his mouth, then she sprayed a small amount on his tongue. Emerald eyes full of mischief.

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

“It’s not exactly something I planned. Routine Watchtower diagnostics, monitor duty, vault surveillance, system firewall maintenance, military cease and desist disputes, etcetera.”

What a way to introduce the day. Selina’s gotten used to it through the years, he was sure.

[𝒜 𝒫𝓊𝓇𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉 ℒ𝒶𝒹𝓎— ♡ @PurrfextSelina]

@VengeanceByDusk She popped the cookie dough into her mouth, eyes filled with mischief as she snagged a spray can of whipped cream.

“Oh? What have you planned for us?”

Savoring the mouthful, she walked around the marble topped island to join him on his side, perching on the stool beside him.

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

The tiniest of smirks tugged at the side of his mouth.

“He’ll be fine. Just as long as we don’t deliberately leave this mess up to him to clean.”

Bruce went and sat across from her.

“We’ve got a long day ahead.”

[𝒜 𝒫𝓊𝓇𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉 ℒ𝒶𝒹𝓎— ♡ @PurrfextSelina]

cooking. But you know how I am… I got bored and raided the leftovers instead.”

She lifted a finger full of cookie batter to her lips.

“…don’t worry I clean it up before Alfred has a heart attack.”

[𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 @VengeanceByDusk]

Big emphasis on ‘feral.’ From experience. Bruce wasn’t about to blurt that out, though.

The kitchen light turned on.

“Alfred said you’d woken up even before /he/ did. What are you doing down here so early?”

[𝒜 𝒫𝓊𝓇𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉 ℒ𝒶𝒹𝓎— ♡ @PurrfextSelina]

“Mmm… meow.”
