Chapter 8

Bruce POV

    "I think it's time for you to tell me what happened." (m/r) sits up slowly and looks at the window with a sad face. "He was right, I should have died in that hell hole. If I had then nobody would be hurt and I wouldn't have..."

He starts mumbling again and I sigh then pick him up. "Just tell me what happened then I can help." (m/r) frowns looking at me and he had glassy eyes. I grab him and he gasps as I hug him.

He starts to relax a little and then I put him back onto the bed. (m/r) takes in a few deep breathes and closes his eyes. "My roommate murdered someone and I found out about it. He had a gun to my head but then someone killed him.

They started to punch me so I fought back, then he pulled a gun. But... he shot the gun and when I turned there was a little girl. She had gotten shot and I turned back he was gone. I couldn't save her, she didn't do anything wrong, not to me or anyone."

He opens his eyes again and looks down at the floor. When he closes them he falls back onto his bed. "I'm going to leave this with you in case you need it." Before leaving the room I look at him and he stares at me falling asleep.

(m/r) was gone when I came back and his suit was gone. I run to Gotham in my Batman suit afraid of what he might do. He wouldn't hurt anyone or anyone that didn't deserve it. Right now he might break his rule he can only see anger and sadness.

When I find him he was sitting on the edge of a building. Then he sighs and grabs something from his pocket. "What are you doing (m/r)?" He turns to me and stands up then looks behind me.

But I keep my eyes on him and he just sighs turning away. "Batman I'm not doing anything, just out for a walk. Maybe I'll beat some bastards or something then go home." He walks closer to me and then turns away about to walk away.

But before he can walk away I grab his wrist and I pull him close to me. I was at a loss of words I didn't know what to say. (m/r) scoffs and walks away from me then stands on the edge. "Leave me be for right now, I don't want to fight with you."

He jumps and I sigh following him as he jumps using a grappling hook. Then I stop and I go back to the manor to work on my case. Right now I have my alarms on so if anything happens I'll know. When I get to the manor I walk to the batcave and start working.

Nothing has happened, no alarms or anything just utter silence. It was strange so I walk out of the batcave and I walk upstairs. Alfred was in his little house by the manor and I look around suspiciously. Then I hear clacking and shushing, (m/r) was home.

Did he bring someone to the manor? Why the hell would he do that? How annoying I sigh and walk closer to the noise. "Hurry, hide in there" when I get to the living room I see him grabbing something.

"Is someone with you?" He shakes his head quickly then turns away. (m/r) was clearly drunk his jacket slightly open hung on a shoulder and his hair was ruffled more than usual. "Why are you bleeding?"

"You know I was really trying to ignore that but now you've reminded me." I walk closer to him and I lift his shirt up a little there was a gash. It wasn't too deep but he was still bleeding and that was bad. "Come on let's go" we walk to a chair and he sits down.

Then I grab the first aid kit under the table and I put my gloves on. "When did you get so good at stitching people up?"I keep silent and he just sighs then I finish bandaging him up. "You think I can get a lollipop for being good."

He smiles as he stands up and starts walking to his room. I sigh as I hear him giggle then I go back to the batcave. It was probably me anyway nobody was there why was I so worried? He can have a girlfriend or whatever he wants I don't care.

But tomorrow he has to tell me how he got that gash. When I get to the batcave again I look at a file. There was a connection to a murder with it. A family was murdered but it was thought that the father killed them then committed suicide.

In reality they were all murdered by someone. The person who murdered them murdered again a year later. That was their pattern they also took the dogs. It was strange to take the dogs and not women or children.

    Then I step away from it and turn around to grab another file. When I turn around I see something and I walk closer to the files. They were a puzzle, then I put it together and it was a street. I instantly recognize the street and I start driving to Gotham.

    When I come back to the manor I see (m/r) laying on his bed. He was still asleep but it was only 5 am I guess. Then he sits up quickly and looks at me then to the window. "Don't do it, don't-" he jumps out the window and I sigh.

     He was now hiding somewhere in the manor and I sigh. "Why don't you find him and I help with your case?" Alfred smiles at me and I sigh then start walking around after getting changed. Soon I hear clicking and I open the closet but he wasn't in there.

    Then there were more clicks and I follow the noise suspicious. I see a dog in the manor and I sigh looking at it. The dog barks then walks away from me and I follow after them. Then it stops in front of a closet and I open it, there was nothing.

    It barks and I hear a soft thump and look up seeing (m/r) laying on a cupboard. He was holding a beer bottle it only had a little left over. "Come on get down from there." (m/r) sighs then turns and I grab his hand then he falls down.

    Before he hits the floor I catch him and he rolls his head hitting it on the doorframe. He groans then falls back asleep and I sigh putting him on his bed. Then I turn around seeing the dog laying on the bed with him. It growls showing their teeth, as I go to pick it up so I just walk away.

     After a couple of hours I see him and petting the dog, smiling brightly. He laughs as the dog nudges licking him, what in the fuck was this? I hate having feelings, especially for people who most likely don't care for me. (m/r) doesn't deserve me and it would mess with my missions as Batman.
