Working Among Vengeance

Chapter 10: Meaningless

WARNING! Mention of suicide BE AWARE!

        As I peeked into the room trying to get a better view of who wanted me, a hand went over my eyes. 

       "STOP TRYING TO SEE INTO BOSS'S ROOM!" The security guard yelled.

       I was then smacked against the back of my head and forced into another room. It was a dark room consisting of many trinkets, which I assumed to be torture devices. The lady I was with threw me into the chair and strapped me down.

       All she did was tell me to wait as she exited the room. My head was spinning I didn't know what was going on. I was stuck in this dull room for so many hours now. I had fallen asleep and woke up when I heard the noises of muffled screaming from another room. I couldn't cover my ears so I was forced to listen.

      The door of my new domain opened and I was shocked to see the Penguin there. Questions ran through my head. Why was he here? His men could have easily taken care of me. Before I could even let out a word Penguin began speaking to me.

      "Listen here, you are in debt to us for all of your parents transgressions. You will serve us no matter what, if you fail to do so you will be killed."

        They then let me go after Penguin stated I would be under surveillance and they would contact me for their odd jobs if I were needed. They told me if I spoke a word to anyone about any of this I would be killed.

       The woman security guard typed in a code on the door as we reached my way of going back into the real world. I stared at her hands as they moved across the numbers 5 - 9 - 3 - 9. The door opened and I was pushed out into the middle of Gotham City.

        I couldn't believe that the torture chamber I was stuck in for who knows how long was in the city. I looked up and realised it was one of the Penguins many clubs he owned. I guess it was a good idea since the sounds of people and music blaring covered up the screams of others.

       I went back to my apartment because I thought Bruce wouldn't want to see me after I had stolen his car. He probably thought I used him, stole his car, and disappeared from Gotham. Disappointment ran through me as I stared at the ground. Was I a bad person?

       I loved my parents but did they actually love me? Was I worth the trouble of raising? No one came looking for me while I was gone for all that time so maybe it was meaningless for me to live. I should just end it.

     My apartment finally came into view. I walked over to it but then I noticed something odd. Bruce's car was missing. Did he take it back or did someone steal it?

     I went to the entrance of my apartment door just to see it taped off. I guess the police were investigating what happened. Maybe it was best if I told them I was ok and back from the Penguin's lair. 

      I moved the caution tape to the side and walked in there. Batman was in there searching along with Commissioner Gordon and other officers. As I moved in there Batman looked me directly in my eyes. It felt like my soul was being sucked out of me. It was hella attractive but also slightly terrifying.

    Officers pointed their guns at me "Hands up! Identify yourself!" One of the officers yelled at me.

     "I am y/n l/n. This is my apartment ,I have returned to after being kidnapped by Penguin's men." I surprisingly sounded very calm.

      "Can we trust her?" Commissioner Gordon spoke to Batman.

       "Yes." 

       His deep rough voice sounded awfully familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I just grabbed my family photos and left so they could continue their investigation. 

      I had nowhere to go. Everything felt so bland I even considered ending my life. I felt trapped. I decided to just walk and see where I can take myself with having no money and no one to ask for help.

      Many cars drove past me but one of them stopped. It was a fancy looking car and the person rolled down their window. I was in shock to see Bruce Wayne sitting in the driver seat. He told me to hop in and he could let me stay with him for a while.  

      Never in my life did I think he would give me a second chance. This man was a billionaire who could get any woman yet he chose me. Tears formed in my eyes as I ran to the window, which was still rolled down, and kissed him. His warm saliva slipped in my mouth as we kissed for a minute or two.

     I finally went into the passenger seat after placing my family photos in the back. I held his hand as we drove off to his house. I looked at him with watery eyes. These tears weren't sad but happy or grateful. When we pulled up into his garage he opened the door for me. I jumped into his arms as soon as I got out of the car.

      I hugged him until I realised I probably stink after being stuck in Penguin's lair for a couple days. As I backed away after hugging him I heard him mutter something. I didn't know if my ears were just bull shitting me or if he actually said what I thought he said.

      Staring at me with a large grin spreading across my face I asked him to repeat what he said. I knew he wasn't good at speaking his mind so it made me happy to hear him repeat himself.

      "I love you."

        I couldn't believe he said that! I stared at him and spoke back.

       "I love you too."

        We embraced once again. Maybe my life wasn't meaningless.
