She thought a moment and then begin to whistle like a bird. The whole group could hear this low growling sound. Then out of the alley, a sleek, red vehicle came roaring down the street. "There she is," purred Catwoman. "She always comes to my bird call." The Catvertible stopped before Catwoman and begin purring. "Everyone into the Catvertible," Robin said. "Now, hold on," Catwoman protested. "We can't all fit into the Catvertible." Catwoman looked at the lady and the unicorn. *Don't worry about me,* the unicorn's voice rang in her head. *I can run as fast as the vehicles.* "But you don't know Gotham that well," Catwoman reminded. "You'll need a guide." "Catwoman's right," Batman pitched in. "Robin, you go with the Lady and the unicorn. I'll ride with Catwoman." Robin stared at Batman speechless. "Someone needs to keep an eye on our devilish Catwoman and the Lady and unicorn needs a guide for Gotham. You know Gotham just as well as I do." "You're right, I suppose," Robin sulked, but walked over to the Lady and the unicorn. The Lady offered Robin her arm and pulled up behind her with amazing strength. *Hold on Robin,* the unicorn's voice told him and he grabbed onto the Lady's waist as the unicorn bounded down the alley. "Let's go," Catwoman leaped into the Catvertible with Batman behind her. She punched some keys and the car roared into life and leaped down the street following the unicorn. "Batman!" shouted Catwoman. "What? What is it?" there was no mistaking the sound of alarm in her voice. "Do you realize where the Joker and Riddler are headed?" she looked at him, green eyes full of worry. "Yes," he put his hand over hers. "Than all of Gotham, if not the world, is doomed." ...to be continued... ________________________________ | Catwoman's Window Sill | |________________________________| |WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW| | \ * \ \ || \ \ * \ | | \ \* \|| \ * \ \ | |_______________||_______________| |_______________ _______________| | \ @@@@@@@ * || * A~A \ | | \ @@@@@ \ ||\ {'o'} \ | | * \|/ \ || \ { Y } * | |______(_)______||_____{#_#}_____| |________________________________| | http://catwoman.simplenet.com/ | |________________________________|
