I groan as I come to my senses and blink a few times, trying to focus my vision. A once blurry image of Edward, turns into a clear one with a worried expression. 'Olive thank goodness you're alive!' Ed whispers, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me onto his lap. I rest my head on his shoulder and study his handsome face. It's a nice feeling you know, being held by someone you feel attraction to.

Even though I have a concussion.

'Are you okay? You fell pretty hard does anything hurt?' Ed continues, resting his chin on my head. 'I'm fine I really am.' I assure him, smiling.

'Really?'

'Really.'

'I don't believe you.'

'And why is that?'

'You're right arm has a cut in it.'

I look down at my arm and true to Eds words there is a small cut above my elbow where my glove ends with bits of blood running down it and onto the cold alleyway. 'Oh.' I state before climbing off Ed and putting my hand onto the wound to apply pressure and stop the bleeding.

'Here.' Ed rips a green strip off his tuxedo and makes a temporary bandage for my arm. I'm guessing that, like me, Ed got changed and grabbed his weapons from wherever they were being kept.

'Thank you.' I smile, my eyes meeting his. Both of us are standing now like we were in the cafeteria, 10 cm apart. Nothing else matters to me now as Ed's arms sneak around my waist and mine around his neck, playing with bits of stray hair.

'Olive,' Ed starts 'as soon as I set my eyes on you in the cafeteria in the asylum, I felt this want and I don't-'I cut him off my standing on my toes and placing my lips on his, the kiss was surprisingly soft as I melted into it. I slipped my hands behind his neck and he wrapped his hands around me. When we parted for air I looked up at him and smiled resting my head on his chest. Since the time of my parents abandoning me I locked my heart up, but this time I wasn't afraid to open it.

'You know Olive, if I knew you were falling for me I would've caught you.' Ed smirks, causing me to blush and bury my head into his chest. 'Aww is my little Olive blushing.' He teases, cupping my chin in his hand and bringing his lips to mine. Once again I melt into the gentle kiss that has a way of making all my worries go away and leave me feeling warm and fuzzy inside. As we part for air loud gunshots go off, followed by shouts and screams.

'And that is our cue to leave my love.' Edward whispers, grabbing my hand in his and the other one, holding my grappling hook. 'Where did you find it?' I ask, running along side him.

'After you fell from that explosion. Why exactly didn't you use it to grapple to safety?'

'They put a metal band on it so I couldn't use it.'

'Makes sense but why were you in the building in the first case and have you any clue why it exploded?'

'Actually I was looking for you but it seems that you found me,' I laugh as we turn a corner and go through a tunnel, hidden by ivy 'and Jokers men blew it up.'

'I was looking for you!' Edward laughs, running faster. 'lets race!' As I run I think about my future for the first time in a while and how it could include Edward in it.
