<(Selina Kyle POV)>

"Great, more fucking competition," I muttered to myself in a hushed voice as the cryo-chamber closed in front of me.

Bruce actually thinks that I don't know what he wants to tell me about. Huh, I am not an idiot. If there is someone who truly knows Bruce the most, then it's probably me. I have grown up alongside him. I know what he wants, what he thinks, and what lengths he might go to achieve his goals. I even know about his dark side and some of the less-than-kind things he has done... to keep everyone safe. Even Alfred doesn't know some of the stuff that I know about him.

It took me a few years to realize it but I eventually figured out what might have happened that night at Helena's house. Hell, I even know about the female alien's dead body lying in one of his frozen storage units, although I have no idea what he intends to do with it... Seriously he should consider increasing security in some sections of the bat cave he keeps the things in here safe and this place people-friendly. It only takes me a few minutes to open them and since Cortana is not supposed to report me or Alfred to Bruce unless he asks, he never even finds out that I hang out in his man cave and play with some of his cool toys whenever he is out.

Anyway as I was saying, I know Bruce the most. So, I knew that he wanted to talk to me about Nyssa and maybe even her elder sister Talia. The moment I saw that archer girl and her hoe sister, I knew that they had managed to charm Bruce. However, I am not exactly afraid of competition. I have a few tricks of my own. And if I have learned one thing from all those online articles and magazines it is that the shortest way to a boy's heart is either through his stomach or through his cock. And I know which route I am going to choose. I have learned a great many techniques online to try on him too.

He wants a harem like those Japanese anime protagonists, right? So, let's see if he has the stamina to own one. By the time I am done with him, he will not even be thinking of another woman like Zatanna, Vicki, or Helena much less new ones like Nyssa and Talia. Yep, I will suck him dry until he can't even get it up. It doesn't matter what promise I made with the other girls when we were young. What matters is that I have a head start and I'll be damned if I am not going to use it to its full potential.

He is not the only one who can be merciless. No, this kitty is going to have a happy ending no matter what... HAHAHHAHA..., goddamn, this sleeping gas is making me more delusional than sleepy.

<(Nyssa POV)>

"Nyssa, you should stop now. You have been practicing archery for the entire day. You need to rest. This is not healthy, Bruce wouldn't like it if he knew this..." My elder sister said with a bit of worry mixed in her voice as she barged into the archery range behind the main mansion I had been using.

For a stone-cold killer trained to never show her emotions, she has been slipping quite a lot these days. It's almost like she has been trying to change herself, trying to act normal. And that irritated me to no end. Because I knew why she had been trying to change, or in this case, who she had been changing herself for.

"But, he is not here, is he? So I can do anything I wish. And don't talk about him like you know him better than me. You don't. I was the one who met him first. I know him much more than you do." I couldn't help but blurt out in clement anger.

I had it with all the women around me trying to get a piece of MY boyfriend. It's like they couldn't keep their slutty hands to themselves. They had to come after the only thing that I had for the first time truly wanted for myself since childhood.

<{Miller Harbor, Gotham City}>

<(Omniscient POV)>

"Come on hurry up. We need to load the shipment before the guards change their shifts. We only bribed the guard of the current shift, not those of the next one. Ray, easy with the explosives. We would lose both our jobs and our lives even if a single one of them explodes. And Bob, stop trying to get a sniff of that cocaine packet. The person who ordered these drugs from Star City is apparently quite a big shot there. They won't be happy if they get these packets with your dirty snot on them." A middle-aged man with a big belly and a big scar on his face said as he lit a cigarette.

About a dozen men were tirelessly working to shift all the weaponry from the ship's containers to their vans and car trunks while placing packs of illegal drugs from those cars back into those containers.

"Do we even need all these weapons, Mr. Bill? I feel like the gang could have made more money selling the drugs here in the city than trading them for all these guns and explosives which we probably wouldn't even be using. Maybe the old man Falcone has lost his edge." The young man named Ray said with a snicker as he stuffed the last car trunk full of the crates of weapons that had arrived recently with the trading ship from Star City.

"That old man could destroy half the city with just a gesture you know. You are new in this crime business, right? So let me give you a piece of advice Ray, never and I mean never disrespect your current boss in front of another gang member or snitch about your gang to the cops. Those are the two rules you need to follow if you want to thrive in the underworld."

"I-I will remember that advice, Mr. Bill. But should we be doing this in the open? Won't we get caught if the cops patrol through here or something? We might have bribed the guards but the cops are..."

"Deep inside Falcone's fat pockets as well. Perhaps you don't understand but there isn't anyone in Gotham City who can oppose Carmine Falcone, boy. This is his city, our city if we can serve him well. We can do anything here and no one can say anything. This is Gotham, the city of dreams for criminals like us. And the gangs we work for? Either everyone gets a cut from them or is just afraid of them. You don't have anything you need to fear here, except our boss that is." The fat man who seemed to be the leader here said with a proud grin as he finished his cigarette and threw it away.

Suddenly, the entire harbor plunged into an abrupt, heavy darkness as the lights went out all at once, leaving only the distant hum of the ships fading away.

"The hell?" The man yelled in surprise as he took out his gun from the holster on his belt.

He didn't know at the moment but he was soon going to experience true fear for the first time in his life. And he was going to be only the first of many MANY others who would forever be scarred by the 'monster' that was going to haunt their dreams forever.

Vengeance was coming for the city, it was coming for them and it was going to hit them harder than anything they had ever seen. The era of gangs was over, now it was the dawn of a new era, the era of bats.
