Katherine sat ontop of a drug crate as men worked around her. A boy, no older than 10, ordered them about. For a child, he was scary- scary enough to be a boss.

He had a childlike appearance, his face still round with youth, but the scars across his body, and his cold green eyes showed that he'd long past his childhood- if he even had one to begin with.

"Shit!", His squeaky voice panicked, "Has anyone seen Katherine? I swear I left her just-" His eyes met the small cat-like ones of his baby sister, Katherine. "Nevermind!" he smirked, "Found her."

Felix pulled Katherine down from her spot on top of the crate and cradled her in his arms. He fondly smiled down at her. "You got superspeed?", he half-joked, "...I think you do Kath, I really do."

With some caution to the men working around them, Felix put her back on the ground to crawl, but it wasn't long before she was being held by someone else, someone a lot bigger than little Felix. "How is my little bebé?" Bane cooed, rocking her gently.

Jealous someone else was holding her, Felix snatched her back. "She's not a baby anymore, she's a toddler now!" he raised her up in the air, exclaiming, "See, she can talk n stuff now!" he shook her slightly to prove it, "C'mon Kath, say something..."

After some thought, Katherine managed, "F-Fuck." That was about as far as her vocabulary went.

Bane didn't look too impressed.

Felix, however, beamed. "Good job, Katherine!", He cheered in victory. He proudly told Bane, "She learned that all on her own.", bouncing her up and down to make her squeal with delight. "Who's a clever toddler, you are! Yeah, you are!"

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.", Katherine giggled as she was bounced.

Bane pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "¿por qué estoy de acuerdo con esto?"

"Why did you agree to this?", Felix translated with a playful smirk. "Cause you need a kid to carry on your drug business when you kick it, that's why old man!", He cackled, punching Bane's arm lighting, nearly dropping Katherine in the process.

Bane shook his head at him and carried on with his business, yelling at someone to pack the drugs differently.

"My way at packing's much better." Felix scoffed, "Fuckin' asshole, thinkin' I aint carrying my weight again, I'll show him-"

"Ah-hole.", Katherine mimicked.

Felix adjusted his grip on her and gave a sharp nod. "Damn fuckin' straight, Kath.", he said, walking off with her, back into the factory. "Now let's get you night night. It's past your bedtime, and I'm tired as fuck."

Katherine yawned, leaned her head onto him. "Night night.", she agreed, nuzzling into him, closing her sleepy eyes.
