A human figure was sneaking into the previously known Wayne Mansion, that person didn't make any sound whilst slowly getting inside the mansion. "All the alarms have been deactivated…" A low mutter sounded out, and the voice was of a female.

The woman was wearing an all-black costume as she looked around in the room, she had a bad feeling about it, yet she has come too far and couldn't back away now when a chance like this was in front of her. 'It doesn't matter if it's a trap, if I can get my hands on it and run away, then all of it will be worth it.' She thought to herself as she quietly moved around the mansion, almost like she knew every detail about the mansion.

As she was walking deeper in the mansion, the more she felt that she was being watched. She clenched her fists into her palms before finally sighing out loudly. "I already know that you are watching me, why not just come out?" The mere moment after she spoke, she began running deeper into the mansion with all of her speed. It barely took her two seconds before passing each room, and her senses told her that she was being followed.

She went up the stairs and went into one of the larger bedrooms, and she quickly found what she was looking for, a drawer near the window. 'If I can grab onto it and jump out the window, then I can run away quickly!' Her mind was working faster than ever as she rushed towards the drawer and pulled it open.

And there it was, a simple USB stick, and she perfectly knew what this USB stick held within. She swiftly grabbed it, but before she could do something else, she felt her entire body stopping.

Her eyes widened as she saw a hand holding onto her stretched out arm and another hand holding onto her left shoulder. The arms weren't holding onto her with brute force, but she couldn't move a single muscle of her body.

"I am quite intrigued of what is inside that thing."

The female thief heard a soothing voice behind it, if she wasn't in this situation where she couldn't even move a single muscle, she would have thought that the owner of such a voice would be an idol that was either a singer or a celebrity in movies. But the simple force of strength that seemingly came out of the owner of these hands changed her mind from that.

She felt something softening, she still couldn't move her body, but she could move her head. Even whilst feeling scared of what she would see, she slowly turned her head towards the owner of the voice she heard. And as she did that, she saw the owner of the voice and the hands.

The man who was holding onto her was younger than her, he seemed to be in his twenties, he had black hair that almost seemed to be floating behind his back. The expression of his face seemed light and full of smiles, yet she could sense something out of the smile, that it was both fake and honest. But what frightened her even more was when she looked higher up at his eyes, his red sharp eyes were gazing into her own eyes.

"…!" She wanted to let out a scream, yet her body wouldn't allow her to do it. She had seen those type of cold and sharp eyes before, but none of them could come close to what she was seeing now. The ones she had seen before were murders, terrorists, kidnappers and even worse people that controls large armies, yet in front of the eyes she was seeing now, the others she had seen before couldn't even be counted as something frightening.

"I will ask you two simple questions; can you perhaps answer them for me? Who are you, and why did you come for this thing?" Averill asked in a seemingly soft, gentle and soothing voice, he was quite happy today as, which was why he didn't kill this thief the moment she stepped into his new home.

"And if you could answer them without wasting my time, that would be good." Averill said this after seeing that the thief hadn't answered him in five seconds, but this time, his eyes were slowly narrowing.

The longer she waited, the more terrified she became of those eyes that were coldly and sharply gazing at her. She usually wouldn't be afraid of anything and even laugh at everything, she could heartily stand in front of Batman, the Joker and even crazy villains whilst laughing into their faces, but only fear struck her when she was in front of this man. It wasn't just any type of fear, it was of a primal fear, she was terrified, she was scared, she knew one thing for sure, that she would die in an instant if she stalled for much longer.

When she was about to open her mouth to speak, a cold voice sounded out in the room.

"I will also say this as I've heard it way too often lately, I do not want to hear simple nicknames, they disgust me." Averill could guess it beforehand that the woman in front of him would surely use a weird nickname, he had no idea why people loved using nicknames. But nicknames were something that Averill disliked a lot, and he wouldn't allow another person to use it today.

The woman who was about to utter her nickname, couldn't help but to freeze. She could feel it, if she used her nickname after being warned like this, she would stop to exist. "S-Selina Kyle. This USB stick has information about me." Selina couldn't help but to utter her real name and her purpose about being her.

"Alright, show me what is inside of this thing then." Averill removed his hands away from Selina, but the USB stick was already in his palm.

Selina gritted her teeth as she gazed at a computer that was in this room, she walked towards it and turned it on. It took a few seconds before everything was ready, she then turned her head towards the man and pointed towards the USB stick.

Averill smiled and simply threw the USB stick towards her.

Selina managed to easily grab the USB stick and it was now in her hands. As much as Selina wished to just destroy this USB stick and run away, she knew that she couldn't do so, as she was convinced that she would die in his hands before she could even reach the window that was merely a few meters away from her.

Due to that fact alone, she plugged in the USB stick into the computer without breaking it. And when she did that, a folder opened on the screen in front of her, the name of the file was – Catwoman.
