Gotham was in chaos and on the brink for even more to follow. Crime had risen, the cities most infamous supervillains were constantly making big moves and new criminals were coming out of the woodwork with each passing day. Selina herself didn't care for any of that since she had long ago accept that the damn city was beyond saving, but the rich was getting richer and the poor was getting poorer, and changing that was her own crusade for the East End.
The city falling into despair was all due to one man going missing. Batman. It had been months since the Dark Knight had shown his face, and while Selina normally wasn't one for concern, especially since she knew he wasn't one to just up and die, lately, she had grown worry. Or perhaps bored was the most appropriate term. Being Catwoman didn't feel as satisfying without the bat to her cat.
While she was confident there wasn't anyone in Gotham who could off the bat, she felt inclined to do her digging nevertheless. She had spent the last two weeks looking into criminals to see if perhaps one of the them was behind it. She had already crossed Poison Ivy and Killer Croc of her list. Poison Ivy however, during a bit of pillow talk, had given her word that the Maronis were apparently cooking up something that had to do with the bats. Something about how now that the Batman was out of their way they were planning to create a new order.
Getting into the Maronis inner circle was easy. Crime families were predominantly men, and you could always count on one thing to control a man. It had took her one phone call to a friend of hers that worked as an accountant for the Maronis to get her a gig as one of the groupies for $200 a night.
Wherever Salvatore and his men went, she and some other girls went. They of course didn't keep them around when they were discussing business, but through a bit of pillow talk the last few nights Selina had gotten a decent bit of info on what they were possibly up to.
It had all lead back to the Maroni's hideout in South Gotham, where apparently most of the operation was done, lead by Marcel Maroni. Marcel and his men, about seven of them in all, were lounging about in the large complex. Selina and the other groupie girls were either in the pool or in the kitchen. Selina knew that was it was only a matter of time before they were all sleeping and she could do a bit of digger deeping as Catwoman.
She just had to wait it out and hope nothing went wrong in her plans.
