Selina slowly got off her bike slowly taking off her helmet. She ran a hand though her hair. She looked around and noticed the streets were dead she grinned to herself. "Prefect" Selina said She pulled out her mask slowly slipping it over her face.
She raised her head looking across the street. She smiled when she saw her goal . There in a display window was beautiful diamond necklace worth a grand.
She slowly made her over to the display window she placed her hands against the glass then gently ran her claws over it. She slowly started pressing her nails harder against the glass moving them in a small circle. She finally made her way around a circle then hit the glass with a strong punch. She heard the alarm start to go off she quickly grabbed the necklace and ran back to her bike. She quickly put her necklace in her bag. She was about to take off her mask. Selina then noticed a body standing in the shadows. " Who's there"

The cop had been staking out the store as there were rumors that the owner had some shady business going on under the table. So he was watching the front of the store, making notes of who entered and left with what. This was what he was doing when he saw the lady pull up on her bike and rob the store. He decided to wait until she returned and thought that she was going to get away with it before he approached her.
"Who's there?"
The officer slowly approached the suspect, with his hand on his gun. He was ready to draw it if needed, and announced who she was talking to, "I'm Officer Steel, Ma'am. I would like to know what you are doing with that stolen property." He addressed her, and then went on full alert as someone else joined their discussion.
(OOC: I noticed a few grammatical errors in your post. The first sentence is a run-on, and I had trouble reading it. Then in the last sentence of the first paragraph, you stated that Selina talked, but there were no quotation marks to state so and you did not use proper punctuation marks. Then again in the last paragraph, you also had another run-on sentence. Other than that, I can see how descriptive you are. Any one what to add to this?)

(Good job just watch your grammar and proof read really good)
Harley watched with an even bigger grin on her face than usual tonight. The Cat Lady had done the hard work for her, so all she need to do was nip the necklace for the bag and get a pretty penny off of it. "Meow that's a nice piece of jewelery you got there miss kitty." She hops out of the shadows in her Harley Qiunn costume, head to toe red and black with a large backpack strapped to her back for holding her nights treasures. "To bad for you toots the towns cutest clown lady had her eye it." Harls stopped in the middle of the deserted street right in the center of where a street light shown. Her arms crossed to her chest she kept a mischievous smirk on her face. "Hiya coppers you came at the perfect time, cat lady here has stolen something I was about to steal and I would like to make a report about that!" she just about dies laughing at herself as she points at at the merch she was speaking of.

Selina groaned when she noticed that a cop seen her. She didn't need to deal with this now. She looked over her shoulder when she heard another voice. She saw that it was Harley Quinzel looking back at her. " Oh great it's Joker's little stooge." Selina knew that either way she needed to fight to get out of this. She sighed and slowly let her Cat o Nine tails slowly uncurl from her wrist. She listened to Harley talking about stealing her necklace. " Not a chance Harley steal your own stuff." She looked at the officer with his hand on the gun. " Listen officer you really don't want to bring a gun into this trust me." Selina tightened her grip on her whip waiting for the moment to strike.

((Ok this post was better Kato, a couple of things I noticed - it should be 'that a cop had seen her' past tence. Also you don't need two slowly's in this sentence 'slowly let her Cat o Nine tails slowly' Really much better though  keep it coming )) |

Steel saw who had joined them, and knew that it was not a wise move to cross this woman. Instead he removed his hand from his side arm, and backed away slowly. "I'm not on his payroll, but I would be a fool to cross him like this. As you can see, I am no fool." He told Harleen as he placed some distance between him and the two female villains.
He knew that the farther away he was from the suspect or in this case suspects, the better chance of survival he had if they decided to turn on him. His hand was never far from his weapon in situations like these. It was drilled and bore into him in the academy. He had to admit that it had saved him more than once. He kept looking from the two of them, waiting to see what would go down.
(That last post is a lot better! Harls, you have anything to add?)

Selina watched as the cop slowly back away. She shook her head looking back up at Harley." Well I guess I will see you around." Walking back to her bike one hand still holding on to the whip. She looked back over her shoulder to see if anyone was following. Putting on her helmet she jumped onto her bike.Looking at Harley one last time she lifted her helmet visor and shouted. " Hey Stooge tell the Joker I say hello."
Selina decided just to rub it in she would drive right between the cop and Harley. She flipped back down her visor and started to go. She started to wonder who the Joker didn't have on his pay role. She quickly glanced between Harley and the cop to make sure they weren't going to pull anything.

Rubbing her eyes Selina looked at her alarm clock. the number flashed 7:30 am." So much for sleeping in." Lifting off the cover she slowly stretched out her shoulders. Stepping off the bed she looked outside her window. The sun was shining the sky was clear and blue. Smiling to herself she left her room and headed towards the kitchen.
She paused when she felt something soft rub her leg. Looking down se saw her cat Midnight." Hey there are you hungry little guy." Lifting Midnight into her arms she made her way into the kitchen and turned on her coffee machine. Setting Midnight down on the floor and petting his back softly. She looked at the time and saw that it said 8. Selina realized that if she didn't hurry she was going to be late for work.
She ran to her coffee machine and turned it off. She hurried too her room and threw on jeans a t shirt. She found Midnight and kissed him on the head saying good bye. Rushing out her door she didn't notice the body that she ran into.

Kayla walked down the hallway to her apartment that she had just moved into. She had gone out in the early morning to pick up some groceries to fix her some breakfast before she went out looking for a job. She had just came off the elevator and was digging in her purse for her keys, when she was suddenly plowed down.
Bending over to pick up her things, Kayla didn't see who ran her over in their hurry to leave. "I am so sorry. I should have paid more attention to where I was going instead of looking for my keys." She apologized as she began to place food items back into bags.
(Don't forget to capitalize the start of sentences, and when you said '"So much for sleeping in."' is your character speaking or thinking?)

Selina looked down at the young women she ran into. " I am so sorry I was in a hurry for work." Selina bent down and helped the women pick up her groceries. Slowly rising from the ground she dusted herself off. " Let's try this again,Hello I'm Selina." Selina lent her hand out to the women she knocked down.
Looking down at her watch she noticed that she was going to be late for work. Sighing to herself she just shook away the thoughts.She wondered what Stan would say to her when she showed up late for work again. Looking back at the young women she ran into. She realized this women couldn't be much older then herself if not younger.

Kayla took the offered hand and got to her feet with ease. She dusted herself off and bent down to replace the contents of her purse which had scattered across the hall. "It is okay. I do the same thing when I'm in a hurry. Don't worry about it." She explained as she got up from putting everything back into her purse, save her keys which she needed to get in her home. If it were not for the blasted things, she would not have met this woman.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Salina. I'm you neighbor, I think. I just moved in down the hall. I'm Kayla." She introduced herself as she picked up her groceries and began to attempt to balance them once again. She was sure she was a hilarious sight to see at that moment.
('Looking back at the young women she ran into.' That is a sentence fragment, and Salina ran into more than one female? Just make sure you use the correct adjectives for your nouns.)

Nodding her head slowly Selina gave the woman a warm smile." Well it's a pleasure to met you Kayla." Selina was glad that Kayla wasn't too upset about being ran into. Selina was happy to finally got to meet someone in her apartment. Since she was out so much she never really got to know anyone.
" Well welcome to the neighborhood I hope you like it here." Selina wanted to get to know this woman hopefully Stan wouldn't be to upset with her being this late. She also realized that she would have to be extra careful now about her nightly activities. Looking up at Kayla she began to speak. " So do you have a job yet."

Kayla shook her head and smiled shyly. "No. I just moved here a few days ago. I'm still unpacking, but I will need to find a job soon." She finally managed to find a balance that works for her as she moved toward her door. Her keys jingled in her hand with each movement of her muscle.
She put her keys into the door, and paused before unlocking it. She turned to face Salina and grinned as a thought came to her. "You wouldn't happen to know of any places that need a computer graphics designer, do you?" She figured it couldn't hurt to ask, and perhaps to get word out there that there was someone here with the skills.
(You still need to watch your adjectives. You are still saying 'women' and not 'woman'. Women is plural, where as you are only interacting with one. 'Selina was glad that Kayla was too upset about being ran into.' Why would you be glad I was upset for you running into me?)

Selina nodded her head as she heard Kayla speak." Well if you ever need anything just ask." Selina was glad that she met this woman hopefully they could become friends. She watched as Kayla struggled to hold on to her things while trying to get her keys into the door." Would you like some help with that."
She shook her head as she heard Kayla ask what job she was looking for. " Nope I'm sorry I don' t know of anyone who is looking. But I will keep my eyes open for you." Selina hoped that Kayla would find a job soon she was a nice girl.
