Gianna

Riley and I look at each other and bust out laughing.

"What's so funny," Axel asked, looking puzzled, Bain just shrugs.

"Bain..." we gasp between fits of laughter, "What's wrong with my name," Bain says looking truly hurt.

"Bain what are you doing here. Why aren't you in Gotham annoying the shit out of Batman?" We're laughing so hard, my sides are hurting.

"Ha Ha very original guys, really two thumbs up. It's like I've never heard that one before. Bravo." Bain claps his hands encouraging Riley and I further.

"Oh Oh Oh that must make you the boy wonder," I point and laugh at Axel.

"Yeah you're right but now days I go by Robin. Which would make you dear Gianna Bat girl," Axel says to me as he starts to laugh as well.

"Ah Ax, not you too," Bain whines. It makes everything all the more funnier, and we all laugh harder. Bain is almost as tall as Burnett but unbelievably more muscular. He really is built like Bain from Batman. This Bain however has sandy blond hair with hazel eyes. "Oh OK if I'm Bain," we cut him off with more laughter, "wait but that's not want I meant." we all laugh harder if that's even possible. Riley and I are leaning on each other to keep from falling over and Axel is bent over with his hands braced on his knees. Poor Bain is standing there with his face turning bright red. "Oh that's real funny Boy Wonder and Bat-girl," he says pointing from Axel to me.

"Hey I feel left out," Riley pouts.

"Okay..." Bain is rubbing his chin deep in thought. "I've got it," he snaps his fingers, "your cat women. Oh yeah that's it." Bain is looking at Riley like she's something yummy to eat.

"Hell yeah I am," Riley says with a purr. We all bust out in another fit of laughter. Bain is even laughing this time.

"OK so I think we've already missed half of another class. We better head out. What class do you have now anyway? We'll point you in the direction of the building." I say trying to compose myself.

"We actually have all the same classes, that's why Reid said for you to take us to them. Do I get to hold your hand now?" Axel being a smart ass as always.

"No keep your hands to yourself."

"What is Riley the only one allowed to touch?"

Shit he's pissing me off again, why do I have such a short fuse. "Seriously we're back to this again."

"Oh man Bain, you better remind your boy over there what happened the last time he pissed her off," Riley moves next to him with her arms across her chest.

"Naw I think he needs to learn his lesson by himself this time," he says looking down at her. Bain totally has the hots for Riley, they'd make a cute couple but Riley or I for that matter don't do that whole relationship thing, too much extra drama.

"I am not gay!" I stand there looking up at him with my hands on my hips, shoulders squared ready to kick ass (again) if I have to.

Those beautiful green eyes sparkle, "Prove it then," he barley whispers.

"And how would you like me to prove it to you," my eyebrow rises in challenge.

He walks around me and leans in close. He's making me warm and tingly all over, and it has nothing to do with anger. He continues to walk around me appraising me, my breathing becomes labored. He stops in front of me and leans in. All I have to do in push up on my toes and I could kiss him, oh and I so wanted to do it.

"Kiss me," his words brush against my lips.

For the second time today I think to myself, it is so on. I push off of my toes and wrap my fingers into his hair and our lips meet and can feel it. My eyes shoot open and I know he felt it too, it felt like a shock to my heart, it wasn't painful, it was exhilarating. "Did you do that to me?" Axel asks hopefully.

"No I didn't and I felt it too," I look into his green eyes burning with passion.
