Batman's Problem

intense

Chapter 9

(m/r) POV

    There was a intense stare that Bruce was giving me at the moment. But I had to ignore it because we had to look normal. People were recording us as we drove to the news station. They wanted to interview us about the company but they actually wanted to ask about the marriage.

It was annoying because they would ask personal questions, very personal questions. But we had to act normal about it and not react to it too much. When we got there I sigh and then Alfred opens our door. We walk out, there was flashing and microphones in our faces.

I'm still not that used to it though so I usually keep my eyes slightly closed. When we manage to get inside we walk in and get told which room to go in. We walk in the room and the reporter smiles at us. "Nice to meet you my name is Nadia Shan.

We don't use a script so you will just have to go with it. I'll interview you in about 5 minutes you are welcome to grab a coffee or snack." Bruce and I nod our heads then I smile at her and we walk away. "Hey, I'll be back I'm gonna go grab some coffee for us."

All he does is nod then he stares around the room. I sigh and walk to a different room to grab some coffee. There were a few people in there drinking coffee and doing who knows what. When I fill the cups up I sigh again and drink some of mine.

"Hey aren't you (m/r) Wayne, I can't believe I'm meeting you." "Aw yeah nice to meet you too I'll see you around." I smile and wave goodbye then I leave to Bruce. Sorta weird, how nice they were to me but not everyone is mean in Gotham.

When I get to Bruce I give him his coffee and he starts drinking it right away. Then the woman, Nadia came up to us smiling. "We are going to start in a few seconds, so let's go." The both of us stand up and follow her to a setup.

    It had a couch and a desk with a chair there was also a small coffee table. "3... 2... 1... go!" "Hi this is Nadia here for the interview with Bruce and (m/r) Wayne! Nice to see you out and about Mr. Wayne, did you come out for your company or your husband?"

    He sighs and I look at her smiling then he takes a sip of the coffee. "At first it was for my company then I realized it would be better for us both. To tell people we were together then for people to find out and a problem happen." She nods her head and smiles at the two of us then stares at me.

    "Did you ever agree to the marriage for the both of your companies?" "Yes I understood that it was my duty to help our companies." She smiles putting her coffee down on the desk. "You do realize you won't have any heirs to your companies.

    How are you supposed to have children for your company?" Bruce's hand squeezes the couch and I grab it looking at him. "We can adopt but we won't have a child just for them to work for our company. But we are far too young to have kids anyway."

    "What about your marriage would you both still have married?" When she says that I freeze a smile still on my face but I say nothing. "We would likely be friends maybe not married but close friends." "Does that mean you have no feeling for each other?"

    The both of us look at each other and I just keep smiling. "Maybe but this is for the company, but we have nothing against gay marriage." She smiles at us nodding her head and then goes on to ask about the company. "Now for a break! we'll be back!"

    The red light turns off and she sighs smiling at us. "I'll be back Bruce" he nods his head and I walk away to the restroom. When I get there I walk into the a stall and sigh. After taking a deep breath I sigh flushing the toilet to not look suspicious to anyone.

    Then I walk out of the stall and start washing my hands. "Did it hurt your feelings?" I turn around quickly then see the person I saw before. "Oh it's just you, um no it didn't hurt my feelings."

    They sigh looking at me then wash their hands. "How'd you know what I was talking about then?" "It hurt a little but not like he cares much." They smile at me and pat my shoulder "Why don't you hang with me, ditch them for fun?"

Bruce POV

    When I hear (m/r) talking to someone I listen closely. "Why don't you hang with me, ditch them for fun?" Then I hear them drying their hands and he sighs. "Maybe, but I have to be here for Bruce what husband would I be if I weren't here?"

    "One that gets to do what they want and not get told what to do." Then I hear (m/r) sigh again and then I hear the paper towel rustling louder. I walk in starting to get suspicious but then see nobody was there. Damn it where did they go, maybe he actually listened to him.

    (m/r) would never do that though, he wouldn't leave without a reason. Then I hear people screaming at the window. When I get there I run and see someone holding (m/r). They jump off the building and then go to a different building.

    "Hurry follow them!" The news reporter says then they go down the elevator. I sigh and run to the back of the station and jump in the batmobile. When I get in I change into my batsuit and I follow them.

(m/r) POV

    "Does he even ask you how you ever feel?" All I do is sigh and take a sip of the beer in my hand. "He does sometimes but it feels like he doesn't actually care." Then I turn to the man and they sigh looking down at me.

    "Maybe you should break it off if it's that bad." "If it was that bad I wouldn't be here I would be somewhere else. But I wouldn't divorce him then the Wayne Foundation might crumble along with mine. Neither of us want that but we have to do something."

    The man tuts and sighs looking at me again. Then I hear a loud noise and I turn seeing Batman. What was he doing here, we were just having a drink. "Give him back to me!"

    There was shaking and I look around me feeling cold. "Come on, fine let's see your fears then?" I saw a flash and red dust go onto my face then I look around rubbing my eyes. "What the- where am I?!"

    When I open my eyes everything was blurry then it was clear. No I can't be back here this is to much I can't move though. Then I feel a pull and someone picks me up with their arms. "You won't win Batman! you can't win against me this time!"

    Then I hear laughing around us and I look up. Batman was carrying me and was trying to get us out. I see a scarecrow and I scream seeing it then I punch it. When it's mask falls I stare at it afraid all of a sudden I felt like I couldn't breathe.

    I gasp for air holding onto the arms holding me. He takes me to the Batmobile and starts driving faster. "Just hold on alright (m/r) stay with me alright?" A hand holds mine and I look at Batman afraid.

    My eyes start to water as I feel different feelings and pain and fear. "This is bad... I haven't even... gotten to say..." Before I can finish I go unconscious from not being able to breathe well. The feeling hurt but at the same time it didn't hurt.

Bruce POV

    When he falls unconscious I panic a little driving faster. "Come on! stay with me (m/r)!" I pick him up then run inside the batcave to get the antidote. "This better work" then I grab the antidote and stab it into his chest.

    After a few seconds pass he doesn't move or even open his eyes. I grab his hand holding it tightly and I sigh looking at him. Then I feel his finger twitch and he sits up gasping for air. "Bruce! Bruce are you okay?!

    I was so worried there were so many things that I saw! You... you can't even!..." He holds my hand tightly and I sigh in relief. (m/r) hugs me smiling as tears go down his face. "Just take deep breaths it's okay now (m/r) we got him.

    You gave him a punch and he was down the police got him." Soon he calms down and smiles at me nodding his head. "I'm just glad your okay I don't know what I would do if you got hurt." He sighs and stands up in front of me putting his hands on my shoulders.

    Then he smiles looking down then back to my eyes. "Thank you Bruce I don't know what I'd do without you. I wish I could repay you somehow or something." He turns away thinking with a childish smile on his face.
