Chapter 25 - [AT] Rat Problems...

[After Transition]

Seeing that she has the memory stick out is great and all but how do I get it? It's on the ground right next to her while she rifles through her 'treasure' c.h.e.s.t, she would surely notice something if I tried to take it now even if I used my stealth related abilities she would surely notice something. So I need to find a way to distract her so I can get my hands on the memory stick(not a hard drive because I'm British and I'll be British forever) then replace that memory stick with one I bought while I was on my little shopping spree. The memory stick is just plain metallic grey and can be easily bought from anywhere so I bought one while I was out in case I got the opportunity to get my hands on the original memory stick and I might need to replace it to buy myself sometime(it's always good to have fakes, just in case).

I take the time to once again search my surroundings to see if there is anything I can use to my advantage, anything that might help me in my endeavours. I only see a lot of old furniture, most of it covered by dusty old white tarps though there are some bite marks in some of them which means that there are definitely some rats around here somewhere. Looking around I manage to identify the area with the most half bitten shit in it, concluding that that's where the rats are most likely hiding I crawl across the ceiling towards it to get a better view but boy is that view ugly. There are a f.u.c.kton of rats here, a literal f.u.c.kton that have decided to make their home in this particular back corner of the bas.e.m.e.nt.

This area of the bas.e.m.e.nt is a whole lot more dusty than the rest of it so I can only conclude that after the first initial once over of the bas.e.m.e.nt Selina most likely never ventured back here as her c.h.e.s.t is closer to the entrance and boy was that a mistake. This particular corner of the bas.e.m.e.nt is made up of a lot of cardboard boxes, most likely things that the former occupier wanted to keep but unfortunately for him these cardboard boxes are now home to a society of rats. Every open cardboard box that I can see has a rat nest in it, the rat nests themselves are home to around 5-10 rats each and there are about 15-20 cardboard boxes back here which could mean up to a maximum of around 200 rats. I suppose that these rats could be just the thing I was looking for, a distraction and I'm feeling pretty vengeful over how Catwoman got one over me but I bet she's gonna freak the f.u.c.k out when she sees a hundred f.u.c.k.i.n.g rats running at her.

I suppose that this bas.e.m.e.nt is the perfect spot for a nest as outside there are cats everywhere that would eat them all up and there are no entrances into here that aren't rat sized apart from the one I entered from and Selina keeps that blocked up all the time except for when she comes to add or take from her stash. Selina certainly chose a good stash spot but nothing is safe from rodents, I bet that they could probably eventually chew their way through kryptonite. Now the only question is how do I motivate them to move and start making some disruptions, I guess I will need to search the bas.e.m.e.nt for anything that might be useful. I search quickly while scuttling around on the bas.e.m.e.nt ceiling and I finally make my way to an area that seem to be covered in shelves with a whole lot of things stored on them, things that might prove useful to me.

I spend about a minute looking through the shelves and I find some stuff that might be useful, I find some bottles of bleach, some bottles of vinegar and a whole lot of different kinds of oils, I guess the former owner was either a masseuse or had a lot of motor function problems that the oils helped with. I quickly find some empty bottles and started emptying the bleach, vinegar and oil bottles into them till they were only a little less than half full I then close them back up and take them with me as I scuttle back on to the ceiling and across it towards where the rats are till I am directly on top of them. With all these half filled bottles(glass bottles that I have ripped all the label off of) I have more then enough to enact my plan and make my evil plans come to fruition, MUHAHAHA... I guess I'm really getting into this on account of getting a little payback on Selina by way of scaring the shit out of her, I'll try to cut back on the evil laugh and diabolical monologues.

It takes me a while to figure out how I am going to this, thinking about if I should web each individual bottle to the ceiling with the caps off so they slowly release the liquid on top of the rats, how I would trigger it while above Catwoman ready to replace the memory stick when she gets distracted and all sorts of other plans. Eventually I decide to f.u.c.k it and go with a simple plan, it's always best to stick to KISS, 'Keep It Simple Stupid' especially when it comes to HUGS, 'How You Get Satisfaction' and this distraction is going to bring me a lot of satisfaction. Eventually I decide to take all the caps(lids whatever you wanna call them) off of the bottles I then wrap the bottles standing up together with my one minute webs, I then create a web bag using the 30 second webs and attach that to the ceiling directly above the rat nest making sure that the glass bottles are still upright.

Some may say that this plan is overly convoluted and I can simply knock something over elsewhere in the bas.e.m.e.nt that will provide a two second distraction which I can use to quickly swap out the memory sticks it but that would stick in her mind and I know you don't become a person who dresses up and jumps around rooftops without being a little paranoid. My method will make her hear a crash and then a storm of rats rush out to distract her, she will be so overwhelmed by the rats and her fear of them that she will probably forget about the crash and just assume the rats knocked something over and this way she won't suspect anything as who would take the time to make a rat stampede.. Sigh, let's just get this over with.

After making sure the 30 second web bag is attached to the ceiling above the rat nest I quickly scuttle back across the ceiling till I am back over Selina, she is still rifling through her c.h.e.s.t and putting all her new stuff away and she looks quite happy while doing so. Well, not for long..

And then I hear it..

And let the onslaught commence...
