Fics like cat’s cradle

"If you'll excuse me," Selina purrs when the crowd gets too thick in one place at the back of the room. They're the most unsavory here, the ones she knows to be the ones with the least scruples. The ones she hates the most, because they cross the lines too often. They stare at her, some of them, wondering what she's doing here. Most of them are too busy, cheering and laughing and making vicious jokes that Selina doesn't exactly get about whatever's going on in the center of the crowd. She sets her jaw and elbows them aside where she has to, forcing her way to the front where she can see. If she had been holding a champagne glass, it would crash to her feet now. Not for dramatic effect, but with sheer horror. And it would land at the edge of a puddle of blood, the shards scattering around a pair of shiny black wingtip shoes. Or: Catwoman finds a baby bird beneath Arkham Asylum.
