CATWOMAN IN LONDON

The sleek jet touched down at Gotham City's private airport, Alexander Stark The Invincible Iron Man, disembarked with a sense of anticipation.

The city's skyline loomed ominously in the distance, shrouded in a perpetual mist that lent an air of mystery to the notorious metropolis. Alexander adjusted his jacket, his eyes scanning the area as he made his way toward the terminal.Suddenly, an old man stepped forward, his demeanor dignified and his eyes sharp with a lifetime of experience.Old Man: Excuse me, sir. Are you Alexander Stark?Alexander paused, turning to face the elderly gentleman, curiosity piqued.Alexander: Yes, that's me. And you are?The old man offered a courteous bow, his voice carrying the distinct cadence of a British accent.Alfred: My name is Alfred Pennyworth. I am Bryce Wayne's butler. Miss Wayne has sent me to escort you to Wayne Manor.Alexander's eyes widened in recognition, a smile spreading across his face as he extended his hand in greeting.Alexander: Ah, Alfred. I've heard a lot about you. It's a pleasure to meet you.Alfred accepted the handshake with a firm grip, his expression warm yet professional.Alfred: The pleasure is mine, Mr. Stark. Now, if you would kindly follow me, the car is waiting to take us to Wayne Manor.Alexander nodded, falling into step beside Alfred as they walked toward a sleek black car parked nearby. Alfred opened the door for Alexander, who slid into the backseat with practiced ease. Once Alexander was settled, Alfred took his place behind the wheel, the car purring to life as he expertly navigated through Gotham's bustling streets.As they drove, Alexander gazed out the window, taking in the city's unique blend of gothic architecture and modern skyscrapers.Alexander: (conversationally) So, Alfred, how long have you been with the Wayne family?Alfred: (smiling) Quite some time, Mr. Stark. I've had the privilege of serving the Wayne family for many years, through thick and thin.Alexander nodded appreciatively, his respect for the loyal butler growing with each passing moment.Alexander: Bryce is lucky to have someone like you by her side. Wayne Manor must be quite the place.Alfred's eyes twinkled with pride as he navigated the car through the winding roads leading to the manor.Alfred: Indeed, Mr. Stark. Wayne Manor is a place of great history and tradition. I'm sure you'll find it most welcoming.As they approached the grand gates of Wayne Manor, the sprawling estate came into view, its stately facade exuding an air of timeless elegance.Alfred pressed a button, and the gates slowly swung open, allowing the car to proceed up the long, tree-lined driveway.Alexander: (impressed) This place is incredible.Alfred: (smiling) Welcome to Wayne Manor, Mr. Stark.With a final turn, Alfred brought the car to a stop in front of the manor's entrance. He exited the vehicle and opened the door for Alexander, who stepped out, his eyes taking in the grandeur of the estate.Alfred: If you'll follow me, Miss Wayne is expecting you.Alexander followed Alfred through the grand halls of Wayne Manor, he admired the opulent decor and the rich history evident in every corner. Suddenly, a small figure darted out from a side corridor and collided with him, causing him to stumble slightly.Kid: (kicking Alexander's leg cutely) Intruder!Before Alexander could react, Alfred's voice rang out, filled with a mix of urgency and amusement.Alfred: Master Dick, don't!Alfred quickly stepped forward, gently pulling the boy away from Alexander. The child, a boy of about nine years old with bright, inquisitive eyes, looked up at Alfred with a mix of confusion and determination.Alfred: (calmly) Master Dick, this is Alexander Stark. He's here to see Miss Bryce.Alexander rubbed his leg, a bemused smile on his face as he looked down at the spirited child.Alexander: (curiously) Who's this little guy, Alfred?Alfred: (with a proud smile) This is Bryce's adopted son, Richard Grayson. We call him Dick.Alexander's eyes widened in surprise as he knelt down to the boy's level, recalling a conversation from a year ago when Bryce had mentioned adopting a child.Alexander: (smiling) So, you're her adopted son? I remember Bryce mentioning you.Dick looked at Alexander with wide eyes, his earlier aggression replaced with curiosity.Dick: (softening) You know my mom?Alexander: (nodding) Yeah, I do. I'm a friend of hers. And you can call me Alex.Dick studied Alexander for a moment, then broke into a shy smile.Dick: (grinning) Okay, Alex. Sorry for kicking you. I thought you were a bad guy.Alexander chuckled, ruffling Dick's hair affectionately.Alexander: (laughing) No harm done, kid. You've got a pretty good kick, though.Alfred watched the interaction with a gentle smile, his eyes twinkling with warmth.Alfred: (fondly) Master Dick is quite the protector. Miss Bryce will be pleased to see you both getting along.Dick: (excitedly) Can I show Alex my room, Alfred?Alfred: (nodding) Of course, Master Dick. But first, let's make sure Miss Bryce knows Mr. Stark has arrived.Alexander stood up, still smiling at the boy's enthusiasm.Alexander: Lead the way, Alfred. And Dick, I'd love to see your room later promise.As they continued through the manor, Alexander couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration for Bryce. Alexander and Alfred reached the ornate double doors of Bryce's study, Alfred gave a respectful knock. From within, a familiar, confident voice called out.Bryce: Come in.Alfred opened the door, allowing Alexander to step inside. The room was a perfect blend of elegance and modernity, with dark wooden furniture, rich leather chairs, and walls lined with bookshelves. Behind a large mahogany desk sat Bryce Wayne, owner of Wayne Enterprises. She looked up, a smile lighting up her face as she saw Alexander.Bryce: Alex! It's good to see you.Alexander: (smiling) Bryce. It's been too long.Bryce's gaze shifted to Alfred, who stood by the door.Bryce: Alfred, thank you. Could you leave us alone for a while? I'd like to speak with Alex in private.Alfred: (bowing slightly) Of course, Miss Bryce. I'll be just outside if you need anything.With a nod, Alfred gently closed the door behind him, leaving Bryce and Alexander alone in the room. The atmosphere shifted to a more intimate, personal space as Bryce stood and walked around the desk to meet Alexander.Bryce: (softly) How have you been, Alex? I heard about your victory over Lex Luthor. Congratulations.Alexander: (smiling) Thanks, Bryce. It feels good to be back on top at Stark Industries. But I've missed Gotham...and you.Bryce: (smiling) I've missed you too. It's been a long year.Alexander took a step closer, his eyes filled with warmth as he looked at Bryce.Alexander: (gently) I met your son, Dick. He's quite the little protector.Bryce: (chuckling) Yes, he is. He takes his role very seriously.Alexander: (grinning) He even kicked me, thinking I was an intruder. Quite the welcome.Bryce: (laughing) I'm sorry about that. He's very protective of the people he cares about.There was a moment of comfortable silence as they stood close to each other, the connection between them palpable.Alexander: (softly) Bryce, I...Before he could finish, Bryce placed a hand on his arm, her touch sending a reassuring warmth through him.Bryce: (gently) We have a lot to catch up on, Alex. But for now, just know that I'm glad you're here.Alexander: (sincerely) Me too, Bryce. Me too.As Bryce and Alexander stood in the quiet intimacy of her study, the weight of unspoken words hung in the air. Bryce took a deep breath, her eyes locking onto Alexander's with a mix of determination and vulnerability.Bryce: Alex, there's something I need to tell you. I know you're The Invincible Iron Man.Alexander's eyes widened in shock, his breath catching in his throat. In a flash of instinctual reaction, he pushed Bryce back, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.Alexander: (demanding) How did you know?Bryce quickly stood up, dusting herself off with a calm composure that only served to deepen Alexander's bewilderment.Bryce: (steadily) Alex, we're both heroes.Alexander's mind raced, struggling to process her words. He took a step back, his face a mask of confusion and disbelief.Alexander: (confused) What do you mean, both heroes?Bryce straightened her posture, meeting his gaze with unwavering resolve.Bryce: (revealing) I mean, I'm Batwoman.Alexander's expression went blank, the enormity of her revelation rendering him momentarily speechless.Alexander: (incredulously) Really?Bryce: (nodding) Really.Alexander's mind spun with the implications of her words. As the pieces of the puzzle began to fit together, another realization struck him.Alexander: (thoughtfully) Then if you're Batwoman, your adopted son is...Bryce met Alexander's gaze with a knowing smile, her eyes sparkling with pride and affection.Bryce: (softly) He's Robin. Dick Grayson. My partner in crime fighting.Bryce Wayne's study, the atmosphere crackled with tension as Bryce and Alexander stood facing each other, their gazes locked in a silent exchange of understanding.Bryce: (firmly) Suit up, Alex. We have a mission to attend to in Gotham.Alexander blinked in surprise, his mind reeling from the sudden shift in the conversation.Alexander: (taken aback) A mission? I thought... I thought we were going to...Bryce's expression softened slightly, but her tone remained resolute.Bryce: (interrupting) You pushed me on the ground, Alex. So, no date.Alexander's features twisted with a mixture of regret and determination as he processed Bryce's words. With a resigned sigh, he reached up to activate the AI in his Telepresence Headset.Alexander: (to himself) JARVIS, initiate.As the AI system came online, Alexander's demeanor shifted, his focus sharpening as he prepared to face the task at hand.Alexander: JARVIS, initiate the delivery of the Mark II armor to the rooftop of Wayne Manor. Ensure it goes unnoticed.JARVIS: Understood, sir. Commencing delivery.With silent efficiency, JARVIS orchestrated the seamless transfer of the sleek Iron Man armor to its designated location. As the armor descended from the night sky, landing softly beside Alexander, he approached it with reverence, preparing to don its powerful capabilities.Transforming into Iron Man, Alexander surveyed the city below, ready to face its challenges. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows with grace and purpose. It was Batwoman, her presence commanding attention.Batwoman: Ready to go, Iron Man?Alexander's gaze lingered on Batwoman, admiring the sleek lines of her suit. A playful smirk danced on his lips as he spoke.Iron Man: Damm what a suit~Batwoman's mask concealed her reaction, but a hint of amusement shimmered in her eyes.Batwoman: Flattery will get you nowhere, Stark.Iron Man: So what's our mission?Batwoman: Track down Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.Iron Man lifted Batwoman into his arms, preparing to take flight from the rooftop of Wayne Manor, a familiar voice called out from behind them.Robin: Hey, wait up!Iron Man and Batwoman turned to see Dick Grayson, clad in his Robin suit, standing at the edge of the rooftop with an eager expression.Iron Man: Sorry, kiddo. We're in a bit of a rush.Batwoman: Another time, okay?Robin's shoulders slumped in disappointment, but he nodded understandingly.Robin: Aw, man!With a shared glance, Iron Man and Batwoman activated their respective suits, their thrusters igniting with a burst of energy. As they soared into the night sky, Wayne Manor fading into the distance below, Iron Man held Batwoman close, the wind whipping past them as they journeyed into the heart of Gotham City.Iron Man soared through the night sky, carrying Batwoman securely in his arms, they suddenly caught sight of a sleek figure leaping effortlessly from building to building below. It was Catwoman, her lithe form moving with feline grace.Batwoman: (softly) Drop me off, Iron Man.Iron Man's brow furrowed in confusion at the request.Iron Man: Really? Are you sure?Batwoman: (nodding) Yes, drop me off.With a resigned sigh, Iron Man obeyed, releasing his grip on Batwoman. She descended gracefully, her cape billowing behind her as she glided through the air with practiced ease.As she reached the ground, Batwoman wasted no time, using her momentum to tackle Catwoman to the ground, pinning her beneath her.Catwoman: (surprised) Well, well, what do we have here?Batwoman: (firmly) You picked the wrong night to cause trouble, Catwoman.Batwoman: (firmly) Where are Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy? I'II know you've been working with them.Catwoman's gaze hardened, her resolve unwavering as she met Batwoman's stare.Catwoman: (defiantly) I'd rather go to jail than betray them.Before Batwoman could respond, the ground rumbled beneath them as Iron Man descended to the scene, his armored form imposing against the night sky.As Iron Man touched down, Catwoman's attention shifted, her curiosity piqued by the new arrival.Catwoman: (curiously) Who the heck are you?Iron Man bristled at the question, ready to introduce himself, but before he could speak, Batwoman stepped forward, a mischievous glint in her eye.Batwoman: (interjecting) That's Invincible Iron Man my lover.Iron Man's expression darkened at the unexpected declaration, his eyes narrowing as he shot a sharp glance at Batwoman. However, he remained silent, choosing not to engage further in the exchange.Catwoman's eyes widened in surprise at Batwoman's response, a smirk playing at the corner of her lips.Catwoman: (teasingly) Well, well. Looks like you've got yourself quite the catch.The rain began to fall, drenching the rooftop in a veil of mist, Catwoman seized the opportunity to break free from Batwoman's grip. With a swift maneuver, she slipped from Batwoman's grasp and sauntered over to Iron Man with a sultry sway in her step.Catwoman: (seductively) Well, well, what do we have here? A knight in shining armor come to save the day?Iron Man tensed at Catwoman's approach, his instincts on high alert as she pressed her body against him, her proximity unnerving yet undeniably alluring.Iron Man: (guardedly) Whoa whoa wait! What are you trying to do, Uhhh Black Cat or Catwoman?Catwoman's lips curled into a coy smile as she leaned in closer, her breath warm against Iron Man's helmet.Catwoman: (teasingly) Oh, just a little company on this rainy Gotham night. And who better to keep me warm than the Invincible Iron Man himself?Iron Man's gaze flickered to Batwoman, who watched the exchange with a mixture of frustration and restraint. Despite her anger, she knew that Catwoman held valuable information they needed to track down Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.Batwoman: (through gritted teeth) Cut the act, Catwoman. We know you have information on Harley and Ivy's whereabouts. Tell us, and maybe we can talk about leniency.Catwoman's eyes sparkled with mischief as she turned her attention back to Iron Man, her body still pressed enticingly against his.Catwoman: (whispering) How about a deal, Iron Man? I'll give you the information you want... in exchange for a little kiss from your handsome boyfriend here.Iron Man's jaw clenched at Catwoman's audacious proposal, his gaze meeting Batwoman's with a silent plea for guidance. Despite the tension crackling in the air, Batwoman knew they had no choice but to play along if they wanted to catch their targets.Batwoman: (gritting her teeth) Fine. Just tell us where they are, Catwoman. Then you can have your kiss.Catwoman: (sigh) Well fine what are we waiting for? Follow me.With a confident stride, Catwoman led the way across the rain-slicked rooftops of Gotham City, her feline agility guiding her effortlessly through the darkness. Iron Man and Batwoman followed closely behind, their senses heightened as they approached the abandoned warehouse where Catwoman claimed Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy could be found.As they reached the warehouse, Catwoman motioned for Iron Man and Batwoman to stay back as she crept closer to the entrance, her movements fluid and silent. Peering inside, she spotted Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy huddled over a table, counting stacks of cash with greedy glee.Catwoman: (whispering) There they are.Iron Man and Batwoman edged closer, their eyes narrowing as they observed the scene unfolding before them. With a silent nod from Batwoman, Iron Man activated his repulsors, ready to confront the criminals within.Iron Man: (quietly) Let's do this.Iron Man, Batwoman, and Catwoman burst into the warehouse, the surprise on Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy's faces was evident as they registered the presence of the armored hero.Harley Quinn: (bewildered) Who the heck are you?Poison Ivy: (sneering) Yeah, what's with the tin can getup?Iron Man's patience wore thin at their ignorance, his frustration bubbling to the surface.Iron Man: (voice laced with irritation) I am the Invincible Iron Man!With a swift motion, Iron Man activated his repulsors, small missiles launching from his suit with a thunderous roar.The projectiles struck their targets with pinpoint accuracy, knocking Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy against the wall with a resounding crash.Harley Quinn: (groaning) Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.Poison Ivy: (gritting her teeth) You'll pay for that, Iron Man!Batwoman and Catwoman watched in awe as Iron Man asserted his dominance, his actions leaving no doubt as to his capabilities as a formidable hero.Batwoman: (impressed) Looks like they've finally met their match.Catwoman: (smirking) About time someone put those two in their place.Iron Man launched his barrage of small missiles and repulsor blasts, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy were knocked to the ground, their schemes thwarted by the swift and decisive action of the armored hero. With the villains subdued and justice served, Iron Man turned to leave, his mission in Gotham City complete.Iron Man: (determined) That's it i'm heading back to London.As Iron Man moved to depart, Catwoman's voice pierced the air, her words stopping him in his tracks.Catwoman: (urgently) Wait! Let me come with you to London.Iron Man paused, considering Catwoman's unexpected request. Before he could respond, Catwoman reminded him of the promise she had extracted from Batwoman earlier.Catwoman: (teasingly) Don't forget our little deal, Iron Man. You owe me a kiss.Iron Man's expression hardened as he reached for a taser gun concealed within his armor.Iron Man: (sternly) I don't make deals with criminals.Without a word, Iron Man withdrew a taser gun from his armor, aiming it squarely at Catwoman's chest.With a flick of his wrist, he fired, sending a surge of electricity coursing through her body.Catwoman cried out in pain as she collapsed to the ground, her limbs convulsing from the shock. Nearby, Batwoman watched in silent disbelief, her expression a mix of shock and betrayal.Batwoman: (shocked) Iron Man, what are you doing?Iron Man turned to face Batwoman, his expression unreadable behind his helmet.Iron Man: (stoically) She's a criminal, Batwoman. She belongs behind bars.hTe sound of approaching sirens filled the air, Iron Man knew his time in Gotham City was drawing to a close. With a last glance at Batwoman and the subdued criminals, he activated his thrusters, lifting himself into the air with a powerful surge of energy.Iron Man: (to Batwoman) Take care of things from here, Batwoman.With a nod of acknowledgment, Iron Man soared into the night sky, leaving Batwoman to face the impending arrival of the police alone.As the police vehicles screeched to a halt outside the abandoned warehouse, Commissioner Gordon emerged from one of the cars, his expression a mix of relief and gratitude.-17 MINUTS LATER-Catwoman slowly regained consciousness inside the police car, her mind was clouded with confusion and betrayal.Memories of Iron Man's shocking betrayal flooded her thoughts, leaving her heart heavy with a sense of hurt and anger.Catwoman: (whispering to herself) Iron Man... how could you?Tears welled in Catwoman's eyes as she grappled with the pain of Iron Man's unexpected betrayal. The thought of being deceived by someone she had trusted cut deep, leaving her feeling vulnerable and alone.Just as Catwoman's emotions threatened to overwhelm her, the police car came to a sudden stop, jolting her back to reality. As she glanced out the window, she saw Iron Man standing outside, his armored form illuminated by the glow of his repulsor.Iron Man: (firmly) Don't move. Stay in theere in the seat.The police officers inside the vehicle obeyed Iron Man's command, their expressions wary as they watched him approach. With a swift motion, Iron Man unleashed a powerful blast from his repulsor, shattering the door of the police car and freeing Catwoman from her confinement.As Catwoman emerged from the wreckage, her eyes widened in surprise at Iron Man's unexpected actions.Catwoman: (confused) What are you doing?Iron Man: (determined) You said you wanted to go to London with me, right?Catwoman's heart skipped a beat at Iron Man's words, her earlier feelings of betrayal momentarily forgotten in the face of this new opportunity.Catwoman: (softly) Yes...Before Catwoman could fully comprehend what was happening, Iron Man activated a flashbomb grenade, engulfing the area in blinding light. In an instant, the memories of the police officers inside the car were wiped clean, leaving them disoriented and confused.Seizing the opportunity, Iron Man scooped up Catwoman in his arms, his armored form shielding her from harm as he soared into the night sky, leaving Gotham City far behind.Iron Man soared through the night sky with Catwoman cradled in his arms, the city lights of Gotham City fading into the distance below, Catwoman couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion and curiosity.Catwoman: (inquiring) Why did you take me from the police, Iron Man?Iron Man's armored form remained stoic as he flew onward, his gaze focused ahead.Iron Man: (calmly) You said you wanted to go to London with me, right? Well, now it's a yes.Catwoman's eyes widened in surprise at Iron Man's unexpected response, her mind racing with possibilities.Catwoman: (softly) But what about the promise of a kiss?Iron Man glanced down at Catwoman with a hint of amusement in his voice.Iron Man: (teasingly) I think we can arrange that once we're safely in London, don't you?Catwoman's lips curled into a playful smirk at Iron Man's playful tone, her earlier concerns melting away in the exhilaration of the moment.Catwoman: (teasingly) You better not be making empty promises, Iron Man.Catwoman couldn't help but be captivated by the sight, her gaze lingering on the sprawling city below.Catwoman: (softly) It's beautiful...Iron Man glanced down at Catwoman, a hint of curiosity in his voice.Iron Man: (inquiring) Do you have any family, Catwoman?Catwoman's expression softened as memories of her past surfaced in her mind.Catwoman: (reflectively) I have a sister... She's a nun.Iron Man's eyebrows raised in surprise at the unexpected revelation.Iron Man: (curiously) A nun, huh? What does she think of your... line of work?Catwoman's lips curved into a rueful smile as she shook her head.Catwoman: (wistfully) Let's just say she doesn't approve of my... extracurricular activities.Iron Man chuckled softly at Catwoman's understatement, a sense of understanding passing between them.Iron Man: (sympathetically) Family can be complicated.Catwoman's gaze lingered on the city below, her thoughts drifting to her sister and the choices she had made.Catwoman: (somberly) Yeah... they can be.Catwoman couldn't shake the lingering question that had been on her mind since they left Gotham City behind.Catwoman: (curiously) Does Batwoman know you let me come to London with you?Iron Man's expression remained impassive behind his helmet as he responded.Iron Man: (firmly) She doesn't know.Catwoman's brow furrowed with uncertainty, her thoughts racing as she considered the implications of Iron Man's secrecy.Catwoman: (thoughtfully) Why not tell her? Wouldn't it be better to be honest?Iron Man's gaze softened slightly as he considered Catwoman's words, a hint of vulnerability slipping through his usually stoic exterior.Iron Man: (quietly) There are things... complicated things... that she doesn't need to know right now.Catwoman nodded in understanding, recognizing the weight of Iron Man's words and the delicate balance he was trying to maintain.Catwoman: (softly) I understand. Some secrets are better kept hidden, even from those we care about.-LOCATION: Afghanistan-Meanwhile, deep within the rugged terrain of an Afghan cave, Lex Luthor's imposing figure loomed over Raza, the leader of the insurgents.Lex Luthor: (fuming) You imbecile! How could you let Alexander Stark escape from this cave?Raza recoiled slightly under Lex Luthor's furious glare, his voice trembling as he tried to explain.Raza: (hesitantly) He... he made a suit, Mr. Luthor. A suit from... from nothing.Lex Luthor's eyes narrowed with suspicion as he demanded further explanation.Lex Luthor: (demanding) What do you mean, "a suit"?Raza hesitated for a moment before reaching into the shadows, retrieving a crude but unmistakable piece of technology. As he held it out to Lex Luthor, the sinister billionaire's expression shifted from anger to realization.Raza: (proudly) This, Mr. Luthor. He made this suit from scraps. It's... it's like magic.Lex Luthor's gaze fell upon the makeshift suit, crafted from the meager resources available within the cave. His keen intellect immediately recognized the significance of what lay before him.Lex Luthor: (sinisterly) A suit, you say? Crafted from scraps? How fascinating...As Lex Luthor examined the suit more closely, his mind raced with possibilities. The realization dawned on him like a bolt of lightning, igniting a sinister grin on his lips.Lex Luthor: (sinisterly) If Stark can create a suit from scraps, then surely I can do the same. And with the power of Kryptonite at my disposal...Lex Luthor's voice trailed off as he envisioned a dark future, one where he wielded the might of an army of robotic AI, all designed to crush his enemies and assert his dominance over the world and finally realize that the Iron Man in the news was Alexander himself.Lex Luthor: (sinisterly) Yes... yes, indeed. If Stark can be Iron Man, then I shall be something far greater.With a chilling determination in his eyes, Lex Luthor set his sights on a new goal: the creation of a weapon to rival even the mightiest of heroes.Lex Luthor: (calmly) Thank you, Raza, for your... enlightening information.With a swift and practiced motion, Lex Luthor withdrew a sleek handgun from the holster at his side, his fingers wrapping around the grip with a chilling resolve.Raza's eyes widened in shock as he realized the gravity of the situation, but before he could react, Lex Luthor raised the gun and aimed it squarely at Raza's head.Lex Luthor: (icily) Unfortunately, your usefulness has come to an end.Without hesitation, Lex Luthor pulled the trigger, the sharp crack of gunfire echoing through the cavernous chamber as the bullet found its mark.Raza's body slumped to the ground, lifeless eyes staring sightlessly into the darkness above as a pool of blood began to spread beneath him.Lex Luthor's expression remained impassive as he holstered his weapon, his mind already racing ahead to the next phase of his plan. With Raza out of the way, nothing stood in his path to harnessing the power of the Iron Man suit for his own sinister purposes.After a breathtaking ten minute flight across the night sky, Iron Man and Catwoman landed gracefully in front of a sprawling mansion in London, the grandeur of the estate took Catwoman's breath away. The mansion was a testament to wealth and opulence, its architecture a blend of historic elegance and modern luxury.Catwoman: (astonished) This place is incredible... I knew you were rich, but this is something else.Iron Man, still in his armor, gave a slight chuckle. With a smooth, mechanical whir, his helmet retracted, revealing the face of Alexander Stark. Catwoman's eyes widened in shock, realizing the true identity of the man beneath the armor.Catwoman: (shocked) Alexander Stark... from Stark Industries?Alexander: (smirking) The one and only.Without warning, Alexander grabbed Catwoman's ass, pulling her closer to him. He deftly removed her mask, revealing her true identity beneath the feline guise.Alexander: (playfully) So, what's your real name, Catwoman?Catwoman, still reeling from the series of surprises, took a moment before responding, her voice steady despite the intimacy of the moment.Catwoman: (coolly) Selina. Selina Kyle.Alexander's smirk widened as he continued to tease her, his hands firmly squeezing her ass.Alexander: (charmingly) Nice to meet you, Selina. Now, shall we go inside?As they entered the mansion, Alexander's hand remained on Selina's ass, guiding her through the grand entrance. The interior of the mansion was even more magnificent, filled with exquisite art, luxurious furnishings, and the latest technology.Selina: (impressed) You really know how to live, don't you?Alexander: (grinning) Only the best. And tonight, that includes you Alexander led Selina through the opulent corridors of his mansion, he spared no detail in recounting every aspect of his life and possessions. From the priceless art adorning the walls to the state of the art technology hidden within each room, he shared it all with Selina.Alexander: (gesturing around) This is my home, Selina. Every corner, every piece of furniture, every gadget it's all a reflection of who I am.Selina listened intently, her curiosity piqued by Alexander's candid revelations. As he spoke of his strained relationship with his parents, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the man standing before her.Selina: (softly) I'm sorry to hear about your parents, Alexander.Alexander's expression softened at Selina's words, appreciating her empathy in a way he hadn't expected.Alexander: (grateful) Thank you, Selina. It's... complicated, to say the least.Their conversation took a lighter turn as Alexander gently released Selina's ass and instead took her hand in his own, leading her to a secluded room hidden away from the rest of the mansion.Alexander: (smiling) Welcome to my personal workshop the Hall of Armor.As they entered the room, Selina's eyes widened in amazement at the sight before her. Row upon row of sleek, high-tech suits lined the walls, each one a testament to Alexander's ingenuity and skill.Selina: (impressed) You built all of these?Alexander nodded proudly, his gaze lingering on the suits with a mixture of pride and nostalgia.Alexander: (proudly) Every single one. Each suit represents a part of who I am a protector, a warrior, a hero.But as Selina's gaze swept over the array of suits, she couldn't help but notice one conspicuous absence.Selina: (curiously) What about the Mark I? I don't see it here.Alexander's expression darkened slightly at the mention of the missing suit, his thoughts drifting back to a time of hardship and struggle.Alexander: (somberly) The Mark I... It's not here because... after I escaped, I... I passed out. I lost consciousness before I could retrieve it.Selina's eyes softened with understanding as she realized the significance of Alexander's words. In that moment, she felt a newfound connection to the man before her, a shared understanding of loss and resilience in the face of adversity.Selina: (sympathetically) I'm sorry, Alexander. That must have been difficult for you.Alexander nodded, grateful for Selina's empathy and the unspoken bond that was forming between them.Alexander: (musing) I wonder where my scrap armor went...Alexander and Selina stood amidst the impressive array of suits in the Hall of Armor, a playful glint sparkled in Selina's eyes. With a mischievous smile, she sidled up to Alexander, pressing her body tantalizingly close to his.Selina: (flirtatiously) So, Alexander... if you have all these amazing suits, do you have one for me?Alexander's eyebrows raised in surprise at Selina's bold question, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.Alexander: (teasingly) Not yet, Selina. But who knows what the future holds?Selina's grin widened as she leaned in closer to Alexander, her playful demeanor showing no signs of restraint.Selina: (suggestively) Well, I'll be looking forward to it then.But before Alexander could respond, Selina's playful banter took a surprising turn as she made a bold request.Selina: (seductively) Oh, and Alexander... since you're the playboy billionaire, how about you treat me like your favorite pet?Alexander blinked in surprise at Selina's unexpected request, his mind racing to process her words.Alexander: (taken aback) Uh... excuse me?Selina's laughter filled the room as she playfully nudged Alexander, her eyes dancing with amusement.Selina: (teasingly) Come on, Alexander. Show me who's in charge.Alexander couldn't help but chuckle at Selina's audacity, a hint of admiration in his eyes.Alexander: (smirking) You want to play rough, huh?Without hesitation, Alexander delivered a firm and decisive spank to Selina's backside, the sound echoing through the hall. Selina gasped in surprise, a mixture of shock and delight flashing across her face.Selina: (breathlessly) Oh!A playful glint danced in Alexander's eyes as he leaned in closer to Selina, his voice low and teasing.Alexander: (smirking) Like that, my dear?Selina's cheeks flushed with a mix of arousal and excitement as she met Alexander's gaze, her lips curling into a sultry smile.Selina: (seductively) More, please.With a grin, Alexander obliged, delivering another firm spank to Selina's backside, each strike sending a jolt of exhilaration through both of them.Selina: (breathlessly) That's more like it, playboy.Alexander and Selina continued their playful exchange in the Hall of Armor, Alexander's thoughts drifted momentarily to his loyal maid, Molly.Alexander: (addressing the empty air) JARVIS, is Molly here?The disembodied voice of JARVIS responded promptly, filling the room with its calm and collected tone.JARVIS: Molly is currently at her residence, sir.Alexander nodded in satisfaction at the confirmation before issuing a command to his AI companion.Alexander: Good. Power down, JARVIS.With a soft hum, the AI obediently powered off, leaving Alexander and Selina alone in the room.Selina watched with curiosity as Alexander deactivated his AI, a knowing smile playing on her lips as she realized his intentions.Selina: (teasingly) Planning something, Alexander?Alexander's smirk was all the confirmation she needed as he took her hand, leading her towards the grand staircase of his mansion.Alexander: (playfully) Just a change of scenery, my dear.As they ascended the staircase, Alexander's grip tightened on Selina's hand, his anticipation building with each step.Alexander: (whispering) We're going to my master bedroom. I hope you're ready for some excitement.Selina's pulse quickened at the promise in Alexander's words, a thrill coursing through her veins as they reached their destination.Selina: (smirking) Oh, I'm more than ready.Selina's response was a sultry smile, her eyes alight with anticipation as she nodded in affirmation. With a shared sense of excitement and anticipation, Alexander and Selina stepped outside the hall of armor and rush into the bedroom and closing the door behind them.-LOCATION: Gotham-Meanwhile, as Batwoman arrived at BatCave, she was greeted by the sight of her adopted son, Dick Grayson, playing in the grand foyer. His bright eyes lit up as he saw her, a wide grin spreading across his face.Dick: (excitedly) Mom!Bryce smiled warmly at Dick, her heart swelling with love for the young boy who had become such an important part of her life.Bryce: (affectionately) Hey there, kiddo.But as their conversation continued, Dick's excitement dimmed slightly as he asked about Alexander.Dick: (curiously) Where's Alex, Mom?Bryce's expression softened at the mention of Alexander, her thoughts drifting to the man who had unexpectedly entered her life.Bryce: (gently) He went home, sweetheart.A flicker of disappointment crossed Dick's face as he remembered his earlier conversation with Alexander.Dick: (sadly) But he promised he'd come see my room...Bryce's heart ached at the sadness in Dick's voice, knowing how much he longed for a father figure in his life.Bryce: (comfortingly) I know, Dick. I'm sure he didn't mean to break his promise. Sometimes things come up unexpectedly.As Dick pondered Bryce's words, a sudden thought crossed his mind.Dick: (thoughtfully) Do you think Alex would be available to come over another time?Bryce looked at Dick, touched by his hopeful expression. She knew how much Alexander's presence meant to him and how desperately he wanted a male role model in his life.Bryce: (smiling) I don't see why not, Dick. I'll talk to him and see what we can arrange.With a renewed sense of hope, Dick's spirits lifted, his mind already racing with the possibilities of spending more time with Alexander.-Next Day-In the tranquil hours of the morning, sunlight gently streamed through the windows of Alexander's lavish bedroom, casting a warm glow upon the peacefully slumbering figures of Alexander and Selina. The room was filled with the soft sounds of their contented breathing, a serene contrast to the bustling world outside.Suddenly, the tranquility was shattered by the abrupt entrance of Molly, Alexander's loyal and outspoken maid, who spoke in a thick Cockney accent.Molly: (bursting into the room) Oi! What's all this, then?!Startled awake by Molly's intrusion, Alexander jolted upright in bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes in confusion.Alexander: (groggily) Wha... Molly? What's the matter?Molly's eyes widened in shock as she took in the sight before her: Alexander and Selina, peacefully nestled in bed and quite unclothed.Molly: (aghast) Blimey! Who's that woman in your bed, Mr. Stark?!Alexander blinked in confusion for a moment before realizing Molly's misunderstanding.Alexander: (chuckling) Oh, Molly, that's just Selina Kyle. You know, Catwoman?Molly's expression shifted from shock to disbelief as she struggled to comprehend the situation.Molly: (skeptically) Catwoman? In yer bed?Alexander nodded with a sheepish grin, gesturing towards Selina, who remained blissfully unaware of the chaos unfolding around her.Alexander: (nodding) Yup, that's her. We had a... eventful night.Molly shook her head in disbelief, muttering under her breath as she tried to process the unexpected turn of events.Molly: (muttering) Cats in beds... what's next, dogs on thrones?With a bemused shake of her head, Molly hurriedly retreated from the room, leaving Alexander and Selina to resume their peaceful slumber amidst the chaos of the morning. As the commotion settled and Molly retreated from the room, Selina turned to Alexander with a furrowed brow, her expression still tinged with annoyance.Selina: (whispering) I don't want that maid snooping around here, Alex.Alexander met Selina's gaze with a reassuring smile, reaching out to gently caress her cheek.Alexander: (softly) Don't worry, darling. Molly may be a bit nosy, but she's a good person at heart.Selina's features softened at Alexander's words, the tension of the moment melting away as she leaned in to press a tender kiss against his lips.Selina: (affectionately) Alright, if you say so.They settled back into the warmth of their bed, wrapped in each other's arms, the cares of the world melted away, replaced by a sense of peace and contentment as they sleep back againTo Be Continue...
