"Shit, my lower body is killing me. When I said that I could go a few more times, I meant only a few more times, not a dozen... I think I feel more sperm in me than I have blood in my entire body" Selina said as she rubbed her slightly bloated lower stomach with her palms.
She was currently dressed in a cat-style hoody and was sitting on the sofa with a game controller in her hands, waiting for the new Call of Duty 4 to finish loading on the Bat Computer.
"Yeah, I might have gone overboard with the sex a little last night. I should have tried anal too instead of just blindly focusing on your vagina. But come on, that excuse of your lower body hurting is stupid. You and I both know that your body has long healed from the after-effects of our sex session and is now again at its peak, ready to go for another round.
And, as for your stomach getting bloated with my semen, blame your own evolved physiology for that. Your reproductive system also evolved with the rest of your body and not letting any sperm out to maximize your chances of getting pregnant is just one of its many adjustments to make you the perfect female 'human being' on the planet." I said with a poker face while mixing a few different liquids in a test tube.
"Wait, what? I can get pregnant? But, I thought our bodies would deal with that too. Or maybe you somehow made sure that your seeds wouldn't take." Selina exclaimed with an expression of horror on her face as she ignored my words about trying out anal.
"The most desirable trait in a species is the ability to reproduce as efficiently and quickly as possible despite all odds. All biological beings crave that for themselves as long as they cannot achieve immortality. And we too as non-immortal biologically enhanced humans also have that trait. The chances of you getting pregnant after last night are more than 95%. But then again, yeah, you are right in thinking that I do not intend to let that happen. So here, drink this." I said as I threw a corked test tube toward her after finishing making the medicine I was trying to make.
"Let me guess, this is your version of a morning-after pill." She breathed in relief as she caught the test tube in her hands and drank it whole in a single gulp without the slightest hesitation.
"Yep." I smiled, happy that she knew me so well while also fully trusting me.
"Bruce, can I now allow Ace and Mr. Whiskers inside? They have been waiting for a while to play here. Selina likes to train them here in the Bat cave, so, they have got a habit for it." Cortana's hologram appeared as an image of the two pets patiently sitting outside one of our cave entrances became visible.
"Playing in the Bat cave huh? Yeah, sure allow them in." I said as I took a look at Selina who had frozen in fear after hearing Cortana's words.
It seems that she hadn't expected Cortana to tell me about her escapades in my cave but what she didn't consider was that Cortana despite not having to inform me every time someone with access came inside the cave, still could still inform me if she wanted or deemed it important enough. Cortana was an AI with a sense of individuality who could think for herself, learn on her own, and evolve, not some normal program that did what it was just coded to.
"Traitor," Selina whispered while looking at the hologram of Cortana which the AI completely ignored.
"But that also brings me to my question, why did you two name the cat Mr. Whiskers? It is a 'she', so shouldn't it be named something like Miss. Whiskers?" Cortana questioned as the two animals entered the cave.
"Wait, what? I thought the cat was a male. Selina, didn't you check?" I exclaimed in surprise as I curiously looked at the equally startled orange cat.
Even Ace who also understood Cortana's words looked equally betrayed as he tried to get a good look at the little cat's junk. By the dog's expression, anyone could understand that Ace had never even considered that his loyal sidekick could be a female cat and not a male. Whiskers on the other hand just sat on the ground with a guilty look on her face.
"Oh yeah, I knew for a long time. I used to cuddle with it every night while you were not here after all. I didn't tell you anything because I thought you knew especially since you gave her the peak-animal serum yourself. When you told me her name was Mr. Whiskers, I thought you meant it as some sort of inside joke or something."
"... I see. I should have checked her gender myself. I injected the serum through her legs, so I didn't get a good look at her... private parts. But, it was my fault that I relied on someone else's words. It seems that dogs cannot be the world's greatest detectives." I said while narrowing my eyes at Ace who just bowed down his head and whimpered in sorrow at his failure. "Anyway, now that we know it, I guess we will have to call her Ms. Whiskers, instead."
"But you failed to see it too, you know. So, the dog in this case may be just like his master." Cortana teased which I masterfully ignored as I cleared my throat and went back to observe the changes in Selina's cells.
"Well, congratulations Selina. Everything looks good. From enhanced strength of about 30 tons and enhanced stamina to bulletproof super durability, healing factor, and extreme agility, balance, and reflexes, you have it all. Every portion of your body has been enhanced and evolved to its absolute human limit. Plus you might want to keep those nails of yours well-maintained, they are so sharp that they can be used really well as silent blades." I declared with an impressed look as I read through the readings.
Although Selina might lack in the strength department when compared to me, she however excelled in the categories of agility and reflex which suited her quite well. In fact, even her nails had been affected by the serum which made them even sharper than actual knives.
My skin although not as hard as ballistic or armor-grade steel like M2 or M4, was still as tough as titanium, if not tougher, and could easily resist any ammunition from regular guns and pistols as long as they were not armor-piercing rounds.
However, Selina's nails were surprisingly able to leave quite a few scratches on my back last night. Although those scratches healed just as quickly, it still made me realize something. Her nails were now deadly weapons on their own. Mine would have been too probably... if I had any that is. Unfortunately, I don't like nails, so I will just stick to my strength and techniques and use some artificial claws when in my armor.
"Oh cool. So, I am ready to go out with you and beat up criminals as well. Because I have even thought up the best name for me. I would be the Killer Cat. We can beat up gang members, steal from thieves, send rapists and murderers to coma, and kill cat-haters. We will be the best vigilante duo on the planet and don't worry about Nyssa and Talia, we will just make sure that they don't find out about our secret identities." Selina spoke with barely hidden excitement in her voice as she paused her game and looked at me expectantly.
"Ahh... no. You need to practice with your enhanced physique before you go out with me on patrols. Also, I need to make a name for myself before I show up in public with a sidekick." I declared with a straight face.
"Sidekick?" Selina looked at me with narrowed eyes, not at all humored by my joke.
"Sir, Carmine Falcone has just invited the most influential elites of Gotham to a very high-end party in the Iceberg Lounge owned by Penguin. That includes all his partners, the corrupted politicians in his pockets, leaders of some other small gangs, as well as others he wants to woo into an alliance to strengthen and expand his empire. It seems that he has finally decided to do something to gain back the power he lost because of our continuous assaults on his strongholds. He seems to have invited you as well." Cortana interrupted Selina at just the right time, saving me from a headache that was quickly coming my way.
"A party with all the most influential people of Gotham, huh? I think I will have to postpone the memory assimilation session that I had planned after this since I am in the mood to do some partying. Hey, Selina, you said you wanted to go out with me, right? So, how about coming with me as my plus one and seeing your dear daddy again? I am sure, you have things to ask him and perhaps even some stuff that you need to do to him to thank him for your childhood, right?"
Selina had lost her good mood the moment she had heard of Falcone. She looked angry at the mention of his name like she needed to torture and kill him to find some release.
I guess, she can't forget the bad times her mother and she had to go through because of her gangster father and his crime family.
"Yeah, I will come with you. I do in fact have something to ask that man. Plus, I need to make sure that Falcone and his gang don't go after my friend, Holly. She might have been an idiot trying to blackmail them for money with the pendrive she stole while she was working there as an exotic dancer, however, she doesn't deserve to die because of that... But, I will be the one to kill Falcone, Bruce. That is my only request of you... Please, let me be the one to kill that son of a bitch." Selina sounded dead serious as she looked at me with her big pleading eyes.
Well, she didn't even call me tiger, so she should be really angry. And Selina is a good person at heart. She might not care for most people but she really does care about her friends. So, even though I extended my protection to her friend by sending her to Washington for a few days to stay at the newly built branch of Continental Hotel there, Selina still wanted to make sure that nobody was going to go after her.
"We will see," I said, not wanting to promise anything but not denying her request too. "But, you can't go there without any protection. What if they have armor-piercing machine guns or rocket launchers or something? Cortana, I think it is time we give Selina her armor. It's just a prototype for now, but I think you will quite like it kitty..." I smiled while trying to access the final design of the suit I had planned for her but I immediately halted in my steps as I came against something else while doing that.
"Also, Cortana, why is there a 2 GB 32K ultra HD video called Master's First Night of Passion saved in the top classified section of the Bat computer?"

(A/N: So, will Selina end Falcone herself in this reality, let Bruce kill him for her, or be the better human being and let him be arrested by the cops? What do you guys think?)
