A girls' night out at ACE Chemicals

"Hmm... I did have some business I wanted to take care of with your father but after seeing you dressed like this I think I have a new plan."

Selina smirked mischievously. She held Damian's chin up to face her with her index finger.

"How's about you and I pay a visit to ACE Chemicals?"

"ACE Chemicals? What could you possibly want with that dump?"

_"Mmm... you'll see. Come on..." _She took a step towards the exit but she paused. When Damian went to follow her, he nearly broke his neck on the heels he was wearing.

"How do you do anything in these? Let alone fight?"

"Takes practice, hon."

"Can't I just take them off?"

"Pfft. No way. They complete the outfit. I'll show you how to walk in them."

Selina took a minute to give her new protégé a crash course in high heels. Damian struggled as expected but his assassin's instincts allowed him to get the hang of balancing in them rather quickly. She had to go over cartwheeling, sticking the landing, and that sort of thing, all while sticking the landing without breaking his neck. Damian thought this training was absurd, this whole ordeal was. Once his training had completed, he now walked in a similar fashion to Selina, swaying his hips and whatnot. The main difference was he was smaller and the only hips he had were from the padding the chamber attached to his costume. He looked more like a 16 year old girl instead of a 13 year old boy.

"What if I don't want to waste my time helping a known criminal?"

Damian frowned.

"I mean, you could just wait here until your daddy gets home and then you can explain to him how you tried to go out behind his back? Being dressed like a girl is just a bonus. Hell, you might even make the brooding bat smile? Joker would be jealous."

"Alright, fine!" Damian snapped. "Let's just go and get this over with..."

Selina smiled. "Glad you're seeing things my way. Oh, and I know you probably already know this but while we are out in town, stick to the fake names, m'kay Catgirl?"

Damian cringed at being referred to by that name.

"Fine... whatever you say, Catwoman..."

"We're heading out. Cya, Al!"

Catwoman waved at the elderly butler that sat near the Batcomputer with a cup of tea in one hand and a copy of the Gotham Gazette in the other. He was idly reading as he sat there.

"Have fun, ladies. Stay out of trouble..." he briefly looked up from his newspaper then looked back down shaking his head with a smirk.

"Has he been there the entire time?"

"You know, for an ex-assassin, you really don't pay attention to your surroundings. Who do you think let me in?"

Selina rolled her eyes.__

"Come on..."

Breaking into ACE Chemicals wasn't as hard as you might think. Most of the staff had already gone home for the evening, leaving just one or two unarmed guards with their feet up in the surveillance room scrolling through memes on Reddit. Catwoman and her new apprentice snuck in through a window and onto the catwalk over several massive boiling cauldrons of mystery chemicals. Railing had been installed on the metal pathway after some nameless mobster fell into a vat of acid several years back. Damian was still moving an abundance of caution, sticking close by Catwoman's side similar to how he would with his father while out on patrol as Batman and Robin.

"Aw, you need to hold my hand sweetie?"

"No..." Damian blushed and frowned.

"It's alright, I won't let you fall."

"What are we doing here anyway?"

Damian glanced around the eerie chemical facility.

"Simple..."
