Zatanna vs Catwoman

The Wingmobile flies across the river straight forward to Gotham

Robin accesses the monitor on his end viewing the evacuation

Robin: This doesn't look good down there. It's a massive panic. Even without that gas.

Batman: Scarecrow put the city on high alert.

Robin: Heh he needs a new hobby.

Batman: What he needs is a panic cell.

Robin: But how we gonna find him?

Batman: I've linked Gotham's communication signals to the Batcomputer. Oracle will be able to receive the image of every phone and walkie talkie. If Scarecrow makes one connection through any phone in the city Barbra will be able to triangulate his position.

Robin: Wow she sure is smart.

Batman: She can teach you a thing or two.

The search begins

Back at the Batcave Lucius and Lesley just left to give the cure to Scarecrow's victims at Gotham General

While Alfred and Barbara monitor on the Batcomputer

Zatanna was passing worrying for Bruce and Tim

Zatanna: Not that I have faith in them but I'm worried about Bruce and Tim. The news is crazy.

Alfred: Master Bruce has been through much worse than this. At times I worry and despite I wished he hang this up he is the strongest man I've known.

Oracle: Yes. I'm sure he'll be fine. I worry for Tim but with Bruce looking out for him I feel a little better.

Zatanna: Have you got anything on Scarecrow?

Oracle: I've isolated the phone links in Gotham if Crane makes one communication connection we'll track it.

Alfred: Speaking of Tracks....we got a track on something else.

Oracle: Is it Scarecrow?

Alfred: I don't think so. This is the monitor signal....of Martha Wayne's pearl necklace.

Zatanna: What?? I figured it burned it burned with Wayne Manor.

Alfred: So did I.

Alfred began tracking the signal

Oracle: Bruce put some kind of tracer in his mother's necklace?

Alfred: If anyone stole it yes. And we got the track.

A screenshot of Catwoman holding the necklace

Everyone was in shock

Oracle: SELINA?!

Alfred: That vile woman! After everything we did for her! She steals from us?!

Zatanna: More from Bruce. First she used Martha's name..... she's taken her necklace.

Oracle: Poor Bruce.

Alfred: I guess there's really no honor among thieves.

Zatanna grew serious and clutched her fist at the screen of Selina

She betrayed Bruce yet again stealing something important to him and clutched her fist

Oracle: Should we inform Bruce?

Zatanna: Not yet. You keep tracking Scarecrow. Selina and I need to have a girl talk.

Oracle: You sure you can handle her.

Zatanna: I'm a trained magician. She will regret her mistake.

Alfred: I have the necklace tracked. Good luck Ms. Zatarra.

Zatanna puts on her hat

And takes one of Batman's motorcycles riding off

Back with the Wingmobile Batman and Robin continue to monitor the phone signals

Some were scratched up and off hooks but Robin started getting faint signals

Robin: Hey Bruce I got something.

Batman: Send me the signal.

Robin shares the signal on Batman's screen and runs the tracker

Batman: Oracle. Robin and I picking up a signal near the narrows. Isolate the signal and run a link.

*Coming on my screen now.*

At Arkham Asylum Scarecrow and his men get everything ready

Scarecrow: Everything set?

Goon: Almost. Our second group just left with the Fogburst.

Scarecrow: Good. Let's move we're on a tight schedule.

The goons nod and carries out Scarecrow's orders

Crane makes a phone call on his cell which unknown to him is what makes the faint signal to Batman and Robin

Oracle and Alfred isolate the signal from the others and overheard Scarecrow's voice faintly

*Be there by 10PM sharp.*

Scarecrow: Soon as everyone is in position be ready for company. The police and Batman will try to stop us so secure some hostages.

Briefly they all heard him

Batman: Hostages?

Robin: He did say we'll try and find him.

Oracle homes in on the signal and Alfred monitors the connection

Alfred: The voice is on the Narrows but.... it's not at the source.

Homing further they tracked his location

Alfred: We have him sir. Arkham.

Batman flies down as Robin facins and soon as they were low enough Bruce switches the Wingmobile to drive-mode and rides down the road

In the middle of the evacuation the Civilians hear the noise and saw the Wingmobile ride off pass them

The people cheered them on knowing Batman was on his way to stop Scarecrow

The cheers grew loud now knowing there's hope

Meanwhile in a garage Catwoman breaks in with Ms Kitty hopping down in the room with Catwoman fallowing landing on her feet

Ms Kitty meows at a car

Catwoman: I know Ms. Kitty. Can't wait to get out of here either.

She was about to crack the door open till

*You're not going anywhere.*

Catwoman turns around and to see Zatanna in her magician uniform and looking at Catwoman in disgust

Catwoman sighs

Catwoman: Dammit. Hey Zatanna. I wasn't expecting you I figured you be pulling bunnies out of your hat for children.

Zatanna: You make me sick Selina. Bruce trusted you he even bailed you out of jail for you start over and you repay him by stealing his mother's necklace? What the hell is wrong with you?

Catwoman: Oh you mean these?

She holds up the pearls

Catwoman: I can see why Bruce would have this secured. I see how much it's worth. Could make a killing.

Zatanna: You think it's for his wealth? He keeps that.... cause it belonged to his mother. And you clearly forgotten what it's like to have a mother.

Catwoman: Please....I bailed on my mother. Thing about parents....they just expect you to fallow in their shadow.

Zatanna: You really are blind. Selina after everything Bruce did for you how can you do this to him?!

Selina sighs again

Catwoman: Look Zatanna. It's not that I don't feel bad for my actions. But it's all I am. It's that simple. Sure I loved our game of Cat and Bat chases even the passion and I must say...I was board as hell. Bruce and I were better off when it was forbidden. When the masks were on and the claws were out. So I did the best thing for both of us I'm not sad I didn't become Catwoman to bag Bruce Wayne. I don't ever want to rely on anyone but myself I'll go where I want to go take what I want to take. And NEVER look back.

Cat turns around but Zatanna snapping inside for her cruel quote pulled her back and when Selina turns back 

She gets....a BLOW in her face she rolls back and to her surprise it was Zatanna was ready to kick her ass

Zatanna: You're gonna regret that. And like I told you they always do.

Catwoman: Oh now you really just pushed my buttons.

Catwoman extends her claws and Zatanna her wand and begin fighting

Zatanna ducks avoiding a kick from Catwoman then she beams her wand in a smoking explosion

Catwoman was blind and Zatanna kicks her in the stomach

Catwoman lands hard in the car she was about to steal

Zatanna: You have no idea what you just threw away. You could have done something better with yourself. But you choose crime over happiness? You make me sick!

Zatanna was about to kick her again but Selina rolls over and launches her whip swating Zatanna's wand out of her hand

Catwoman: No wand no magic.

Zatanna: Don't be so sure.

Zatanna lifts her hands and beams green bolt lights out of her hands like Emperor Palpatine

You could say she....did a little witch work in her day

Catwoman fell back but she wasn't gonna go down that easy

She launched her whip tying Zatanna's legs together and pulled her back

Zatanna falls flat on the floor looks up as Catwoman makes a run for it to the window she came in from

Zatanna: Oh no you don't!

Zatanna launched another smoke explosion blinding Selina again she turns seeing Zatanna launch at her

Catwoman counters her and both grunt while fighting


(The cat fight continues in the next chapter...)
