Catwoman went
into a museum to score a painting, but it was gone - even
though she'd cased the place shortly before it closed. Police
were quick to the scene and she realized she'd been set up.
She escaped with a minor bullet wound and informed her client
of what happened. He didn't believe her and sent goons after
her. She was quick to take them out of the picture and
returned home. An autopsy on one of her cats showed it was
killed by ingesting methamphetamine. Selina's roommate,
Arizona, went looking for the cause of death while Catwoman
went looking for answers. She barely survived a drive-by
shooting while questioning some small-time gangsters. She was
able to stop the shooters and vowed to find and take down
their boss. Arizona came home roughed up after encountering
the source of their cat's death. |
