Chapter 9 by Koriandr Koriandr

What had changed?

Bodies.

Your body tingled as you lay on the museum floor. Your head was spinning like a record as you groaned. Sitting up to rub your temples, you opened your eyes, vision blurry and swimming, but looking down at yourself still clad in tight black material clinging to every curve of your distinctly female body made you sigh.

"Well, at least nothi…" You trailed off at the sound of your voice. Your eyes widened at the realization that that… wasn't your voice! At all! And it sure wasn't Barbara's voice either! In fact-

"Agh!" Another voice yelped behind you. A voice that you were much more familiar with! Turning around, your jaw dropped at the sight of… you! Or… Batgirl, but for tonight you were Batgirl! Which meant…

"Oh God, I'm… Catwoman?!"

You said in realization, glancing down at the black material clinging to you as your vision cleared. No yellow bat symbol, and your… chest, was indeed much larger! Absent-mindedly giving one of them a poke with your new gloved fingers, you glanced to the nearest mirror display. The dark made it difficult to see, but you could make out the clear face of Catwoman staring back at you!

This was bad! It was unpleasant enough that you had been turned into a copy of your mentor! Now you had ended up switching bodies with one of Gotham's most notorious cat burglars?!

"Quit staring at yourself!" A yellow glove grabbed your hand, pulling you to face Catwoman, now in your Barbara-fied body, "Look, I want the Ankh, but I don't want your body with it!" She huffed, looking around for the artifact Selina had come here for, "Think we can call a short truce until we get this fixed? Or…" The sound of police sirens approaching made you both freeze. Catwoman quickly sauntered over to the Ankh that had fallen from its pedestal, her movements looking much more natural and graceful than you had moved in that body not long ago.

'Then again, she's been a woman all her life.' You thought, glancing down at yourself, 'A… rather endowed one at that…' You thought with a blush before stumbling to your feet. You were just grateful that you had some time to get used to a more… feminine figure before ending up in this situation. You couldn't imagine what this would have been like if you had confronted Catwoman while you were still… you.

The growing sirens made you pick up your pace as you followed Catwoman, who gracefully left up the wall and onto the museum rafters. A while ago you wouldn't have been too concerned about the sirens, but now, with you trapped behind the face of Catwoman, you doubted the police would be as lenient with you anymore. At least until you could fix this and get back in your own body.

Scaling the wall and using the moves you were familiar with, you managed to keep up with the burglar wearing your former skin as the two of you made your way to the roof.

"Okay," you sighed, "You've done your research on this Ankh of Whatever…"

"Alwaqie." Catwoman corrected, placing a hand to her hip.

_"Whatever. Do you know how to fix… this?" _You said, gesturing to yourself and her. Tugging at the tight collar around your neck, you sighed. This catsuit felt even tighter than the Batgirl suit. Though as your hands passed the zipper at your neck, you could unzip it a bit to get a little more air…

"I just know it's valuable." Catwoman huffed, looking over the artifact, "And it's gonna be mine when we've figured out how our little mix up can get resolved." You rolled your eyes.

"Yeah, right, but… I'm not going to argue right now…" You sighed, "I'm sure there's something we can do-"

"There's someone on the roof!" Both you and Catwoman froze at the loud sound of police finally arriving! You both froze as bright lights flashed on the two of you!

Squinting at the brightness, your eyes locked on Catwoman in your body as she… ran off!

"H-hey!" You yelped, quickly stumbling off after her.

"They're getting away!" A voice rang out as you tried to keep up with Catwoman as she left across rooftops away from the chase!

Being stuck as her was bad enough, getting separated from each other in each other's bodies would be even worse!

At least people had definitely seen Batgirl now. So Barbara's identity was safe for now at least…

You just hoped you'd be able to keep up to get your own identity back safely as well…
