Gotham Natural History Museum and...

The following morning, they decided to go to a museum. Truth be told, the streets of Gotham weren't safe and there was chance something dangerous could happen. According to Hadiyah, twelve-eight people had gone missing from Leviathan's influence, either kidnapped in broad daylight or snatched from their homes. The crime scenes left shadows of evidence, a signature mark of the League of Assassins. The Tournament of 100 was fastly approaching.

Unfortunately, Aaron couldn't quite say no to Chloe. She really, really wanted to go.

"Woahhh."

Gotham Natural History Museum. Large, decorated, and focused on history, it was arguably the best place for someone like Chloe to go to. There was a whole ass zoo in there too. Aaron would be lying if he said he wasn't secretly excited.

The outside of the museum was straight out of Washington, shaped like a mansion and supported by swampy yellow pillars. Chloe swung their arms back and forth as they walked.

'I really want to see the zoo department…'

Work, eat, sleep. That was his life before Cassandra. Before all this. He wanted the best possible experience for himself and Chloe, so he bought the luxury pass. The most expensive thing on the Gotham Natural History Museum's website, totalling around three thousand dollars. As a result, they were given their own tour guide and exclusive look into the behind-the-scenes.

Aaron was equally as jittery as Chloe. They flashed their passes to the receptionist at the front and waited. The foyer was wide and Aaron could see over a dozen glass-encased artifacts. To the side, there was a map of the museum. Apparently, there was a section just for bats.

"I wanna see the bats," Chloe said, pointing.

"Me too. I'm sure they'll take us there," Aaron replied.

Chloe's hand squeezed his, thrilled by the prospect of real-life bats. Not a man dressed as one, but an actual living, breathing bat.

"Hello, hello~! Aaron and Chloe, right?"

Aaron was startled by the voice. They had snuck up on him without his notice. Either he was getting rusty or this woman…

'…is smoking hot?'

Their tour guide was no ordinary woman. Aaron could sense it the moment he laid eyes on her. She had black hair styled in a pixie cut and wore a short black leather jacket, a white low-cut shirt revealing her generous cleavage, and black skinny jeans.

'She has the sluttiest waist I have ever seen on a woman. Jesus.'

"Yes, that's us," Aaron responded coolly. He wasn't a loser who stuttered after seeing a hot woman. He could talk while analyzing this stunning vixen. She flashed them a confident, sultry smile and proceeded to introduce herself.

"I'm Selina Kyle. Nice to meet you."

Cassandra's voice suddenly echoed in his head and his stomach dropped. "Selina…" Aaron repeated. He cleared his throat and **** a smile. "Good to meet you. You are our guide?"

'Is it a coincidence? I mean, how many thirty-something year old, hourglass-figured Selina Kyles could there be in Gotham? Not many, I imagine. It's not an uncommon name, but still…could it really be her?'

Selina Kyle beamed at him, oblivious to the inner turmoil in his head. "Indeed. I'm new so please forgive me if I talk too fast on occasion." She giggled and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. She wanted to get in his head. Aaron pretended not to be affected and glanced down at Chloe.

"Alright, the pretty lady is going to be touring us. You ready?"

"Ready," Chloe affirmed with deep resolve.

"Oh, is this your daughter?" Selina asked, leaning down to meet the blonde bundle of joy. "I'd say she's the pretty one between us."

"Thank you," Chloe muttered timidly, hiding behind his arm. She was almost ten, perhaps too old for such theatrics, but Aaron didn't mind. He didn't nudge her forward or **** her to talk to Selina, partly because he didn't trust her in the first place.

'Selina Kyle. Cassandra told me all about you. You're Batman's girl. Actually, that's not quite right. You left him at the altar. You stole his fortune. You're a complicated mess of a woman who belongs to no one but yourself.'

"How about we get started then?" Selina said, pearly white teeth dazzling them.

Throughout the tour, Aaron got the feeling she was seducing him. She assumed correctly that he was wealthy but incorrectly thought he held some kind of ancient trinket or family heirloom. He had nothing besides his wallet and phone. He made sure to keep his hands in his pockets to prevent her from pickpocketing him.

"So what do you do for work, Aaron?" Selina asked, her shoulder brushing him.

"I work at Wayne Tech."

"Anything special?"

"No, just in the middle of the corporate ladder."

"How did you manage to afford our most expensive pass then? Don't tell me you saved up?"

From her tone, it was obvious she was joking. She assumed no sane mind would save up two-thousand dollars for a measly museum pass. And she would be right. Unfortunately for her, he wasn't going to admit that. He pulled up the flattest expression and response he could muster. "Yes."

"Oh." Selina laughed and slid another piece of hair behind her ear. She picked up the pace too, going ahead to describe a rare green gem contained in the Gem Collection Hall. Behind her pearly white teeth and fancy words, he could sense her disappointment.

Selina Kyle. Catwoman.

She had a fantastic ass, that was for sure. He tried not to look but seeing her hips sway in front of him…it was too much. He just had to steal a glance. Heart-shaped and form-fitting, it was nearly impossible for the impure thoughts not to leak in. Luckily, he managed to control himself.

'Remember, your powers amplify your libido and you still don't have a complete handle on them. Calm down, Aaron Reigner. Deep breaths.'
