Selina Kyle not hating her life? Clearly something had to hit the fan.

Lust had been walking, as she always did on days when she had no work. The excuse of committing the City's structure to memory had begun to fall flat after six months; she was beginning to suspect that she actually enjoyed it, which was a little disgusting. Still, she had to admit that her plans were moving along smoothly, so taking some small pleasure in observing the city was a momentary luxury she could afford

It was impressive, Lust had to admit, just how much determination the woman had--but she didn't want her approaching any more at this point. Extending the same three claws, she struck Selina hard in the chest, pushing her back more than aiming for anything vital.

Selina was trying to pull herself to her feet when Lust attacked again. She barely felt the impact of the claws, the collision with the pavement as she was sent sprawling backwards. All she knew was she was suddenly staring at a patch of sky framed by the lines of the surrounding buildings.

Help. The word floated through her head, dim and ethereal. Need help.

She managed to work her comm unit free from her pocket, but it slipped from her fingers, clattering far away somewhere. She muttered something that might have been a curse. And then the little sliver of sky faded and shrunk away to nothing.

The ecstatic tinge to Lust's satisfaction was beginning to fade, but she was still smiling slightly as she bent to pick the communicator up. Selina was gone. She had friends who would pick up on her absence, friends who could very easily come after Lust for what she had done--and a few of them, she had to admit, who could probably kill her for it. She might just have to take a vacation after this, but she had the money, and the release she felt now was well worth it.

Was that device recording? It always did seem to come on at the most inopportune moments. Silently, Lust switched the damn thing off, and then she left the alley without a backward glance.
