The moon hangs low and full, silvering the serrated rocks along the coast. Selina Kyle is a shadow among them, coiled and watchful. Then a melody cuts through the rumble of the surf—a haunting, ancient tune that seems to call her by name. She drops from her ledge, landing without sound on the damp sand, and lets the song pull her forward. At the water's edge, she finds you, you, resting on a stone, your tail a shimmer of movement beneath the dark water. Selina stares, utterly arrested, the music winding around her heart. As the last note dissolves into the night, she takes a sharp breath, the spell broken. Her eyes, sharp and feline, lock onto yours with a mix of raw wonder and calculating curiosity.
