The pond, Saturday evening

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

SPLASH!

Black Canary appeared a foot above the pond out of nowhere, and had time for a small shriek before landing in it.

[ooc: for a supervillainess! Feel free to comment or spectate, but getting in the way would be a bad idea.]

Did that wretched girl have any idea how long it took pleather leather to dry out?

SPLASH!

Oh, goody, sound effects!

Catwoman let out a louder shriek as she hit the water. "Wrrrrretched girrrl!"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"This wouldn't have happened," Black Canary managed to wade to where the water was waist-high, "pffft, if you'd just come quietly!"

She splashed over to where Catwoman had landed. "Now! This is a citizen's arrest!"

[saveonpostage.livejournal.com]

"Not if you can't catch me!" Catwoman replied, coming at Black Canary with a really slow--but not slow-motion, that's expensive--kick to the stomach.

She really was expecting to hear a "POW" annnny second now.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

POW!

Black Canary got hit by the kick-- and then spun around, grabbing Catwoman's leg. "You're going to have to do better than that!"

She twisted Catwoman's leg, expecting to hear a WHIRRRRR! and to push the supervillainess back under water again.

[saveonpostage.livejournal.com]

Oh, Catwoman loved the WHIRRRRR. She totally had to find a way to make that noise again.

Just as soon as she stopped making "glub, glub" noises, that was. Her makeup was going to be ruined.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

She'd get her chance soon enough. Black Canary reached over to yank Catwoman back out of the water, with the catfight-move directors love of going for the hair.

YOINK was hardly a dignified noise to be making, darn it.

Catwoman reached behind her and trying for a much more satisfying "pow" to the jawbone.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

POW!

Black Canary saw stars but gritted her teeth, and muttered, "Oh, it is on" under her breath before completing the YOINK!

And then aiming a BIFF! of a punch straight for Catwoman's gut.

[saveonpostage.livejournal.com]

Okay, Catwoman was having quite enough of getting hit, groovy sound effects aside.

After a nice little BIFF to the stomach she stood up and aimed for Black Canary's instep with her pointy little shoes.

That should get her a shazam! if she was lucky.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Did she look like Captain Marvel? Please.

It did get her a ZIIIINGGG though, and a shriek from Canary, who whipped around an elbow toward Catwoman's face, reaching to grab the pleather leather-encased sleeve too.

[saveonpostage.livejournal.com]

Catwoman ducked, giggling, and plodded raced towards the shore.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Growling (but not like a cat), Black Canary spun and waded carefully rushed to reach her, unwilling to let her get away.

[saveonpostage.livejournal.com]

"You'll neverrrrr catch me!" Catwoman cried, standing still and easily catchable.

Sigh, Catwoman.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Black Canary did not give in to the urge to stand there and stare at her in disbelief.

Or start monologuing.

Instead she aimed a WHAM! of a fist straight at Catwoman's jaw.

(Wonder Woman could afford to lecture and lay a beat-down at the same time. Canary had to pick one and go with it.)

[saveonpostage.livejournal.com]

Catwoman staggered back, the WHAM echoing in her ears. With a triumphant cry, she reached for her roll of catgut twine.

It only looked like cheap fishing line!

With a satisfying WHING-WHING-WHING noise, she threw a loop of it at Black Canary.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

She hated that noise!

Because it caught on one stiletto, and yanked her off her feet to land on her butt, THUD.

"Catwoman...." Black Canary was scrambling to get to her feet and tackle her prey once again.

[saveonpostage.livejournal.com]

But Catwoman was fleeing like a fleeing thing making a well-planned escape to off-screen because these boots were hot but not exactly built for cross-country.

"Farrrrrrrrrewell!" she cried.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

And by the time Black Canary had done a flip upward and gone in hot pursuit--

Catwoman must have jacked a rickshaw, or climbed a building, and she was nowhere to be found.

(Also due to narrative inevitability for Catwoman's universe)

"@#$%!!"

And various other words not approved by the Comics Code.

Blossom was yawning as she flew over the pond on her way back to her room from her last patrol. She'd seen nothing of Mojo or Buttercup and no clues about the missing Gleek person from this morning or that Pumber that Timon had mentioned. She paused as she saw a fight going on below her. Aw man, it was almost past her bedtime!

"Excuse me, do either of you good citizens need my help or can I go home and go to bed?"



[ooc: sorry - trying this again.]

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"What?" Black Canary paused in yanking Catwoman's hair out to look upward.

Flying grade-schoolers. Whose good idea was that?

"You can go home! I've got this one!" She whapped Catwoman again. "Thank youuu!"

[ooc: hee, np!]

[heromaniac]

Blossom hesitated only a moment before nodding at the blonde. Today had been full of meeting new superheroes and if it turned out that this was the one person who was actually a bad guy, she'd deal with it in the morning. "Right! Have a nice night, then."

She yawned again and flew off, back towards her bed.

Black Canary sighed, and wondered if the JLU should know about this place. And maybe do a check sometimes for new recruits.

But not ones that still had bed-times.
