Something in the way

It was just perfect. The view from the rooftop of Wayne Manor. The sun going down on the horizon and the slowly emerging stars.

"What are you thinking about?"

I turned my head and looked at Bruce. I smiled softly at him and took his hand:"You"
The boy in front of me blushed deeply and gingerly pulled back his hand. I giggled at his antics and slightly nudged his shoulder.

"I made something for you", he mumbled quietly"
"What did you make", I asked.
He pulled out two black bracelets. You could see that the knots that formed the bracelets were handmade wonderfully shimmering stones were worked into their middle.

"Wow", I whispered and grabbed one of them.
"I made those, so that we never forget each other", Bruce explained with a smile. He took the bracelet from my hand and carefully put it around my wrist. I did the same with his.

"Thank you, Bruce", I smiled and pulled him into a hug.
He hesitantly put his arms around me and pulled me closer.
"But I'll never forget about you", I said and pulled away. I hesitated for a second, but then I leaned forward and kissed Bruce on the cheek.
The boy seemed beyond confused, but luckyly for him, Thomas came climbing up the latter to the roof, where we were sitting.

"Here you are", He said and smiled, "Dinner's ready"
Bruce and I nodded and started to climb back down.
"Are you alright, Bruce?", Thomas asked and put a hand on top of his son's forehead, "Are you sick? You look so pale"

Bruce stiffened and eyed me for help.
"He's just hungry", I stated and grabbed Bruce's hand, pulling him away from his dad.
"Oh well, then come on in", Thomas chuckled and eyed our intertwined hands, before walking back inside.

"Do you promise to never forget me?", Bruce asked quietly.
I smiled at him:"I promise"

***

"This is madness", Jim mumbled after we entered the crime scene.
"It is", I agreed and carefully picked up a picture that was lying on the floor. It showed the Mayor with his children. The recently deceased Mayor.

"God damn freak"

I turned around, when I heard Martinez swear. And there he was. The one and only Batman. A vigilante who had shown up all of a sudden, not only protecting the people of Gotham, but also helping me and Gordon. With his help, Jim had become Lieutenants.

"So", Jim mumbled and looked at the corpse of the Mayor, "What do we know?"
I stood aside him, while the Batman was standing in front of us. I looked at him for a brief second, but he immediately caught me staring and I looked back at the Corpse.

"Detective?", Jim asked again.

"Sorry, Lieutenant", The Detective said and hesitantly eyed the Batman standing next to him.

"We got blunt forced trauma, lacerations on the Head. He got hit a lot of times. And hard." the detective mumbled, while Jim walked around the Mayor's corpse.
He pulled out a flashlight and took a closer look at the head.
I furrowed my brows at that:"All the blood is from his head?" I asked.
"No", The Detective said. He proceeded to walk around the chair, but the Batman stood in his way.
"Excuse me", He mumbled after eying him.
"Most of it, is from his head", He pulled away the paper bag, that contained the mayors hand. Jim and I took a closer look.
"Thumb was severed", The detective explained and showed us the mayor's hand.
