What's Valentine's Day Without A Chase Sequence?

I had this idea, of how it would have been fun if the cat Klarion and Batgirl found for Teekl was actually Stinky, aka Power Girl's cat. Admittedly, I don't know why two folks in Gotham would travel to New York to find a mate for a feline familar's Coupling, and it assumes Max Lord hasn't had Peej's cat killed (and claimed the White Lantern Entity told him to*) but minor details. I pictured either Teekl reverting to his cat state upon being presented with Stinky, or if the situation was desperate enough, Klarion turning Stinky into a werecat for a little while.

Either way, I pictured it leading to an amusing chase scene. They swipe Peej's cat off the balcony or windowsill (not knowing it's hers, naturally), she gives chase, they realize what they're up against, but can't do anything about it because the Coupling's already begun. Steph's trying to explain they really just need to borrow the cat for a little while, Klarion's making things worse with various comments, and probably striking back at Power Girl if she makes a crack about punching him back to the Mayflower, or he thinks she's disturbing The Coupling. Power Girl's ticked because between her company being embezzled from, and friends dying, and Max Lord cloning her, she's sick of being messed with. Eventually everything gets sorted out without too much property damage.

Then I remembered Peej called Stinky Mr. Cat once, which suggestsit's a he, and so is Teekl, and so that might not be what Teekl's looking for. Then again, Teekl's a magic cat, so maybe it wouldn't make a difference. Teekl did come from a Bonding Tree, and some plant's flowers have both sets of parts (which comes in handy if there's no other members of the species around to pollinate with), so. . .

* That damn entity is going to be Max' Parallax, isn't it?
