Until marriage-Superbat

Holiday (part 1)

When I woke up I were completely in another position than the one I fell asleep but Bruce's position was the same. I was cuddeling to Bruce and my hand was around his waist. He was still sleeping so I took my hands of him before he wakes up and kills me.

Around eight o'clock I heared a knock at the door. I wanted to stand up to tell Alfred that Bruce is still sleeping but to my surprise he answered. "We're coming Alfred! Ten minutes"
"Very well, sir" he said on the other side of the door and I could hear as he turned around and went to the living room. "Hurry up! We only got ten minutes" he said as he went into the bathroom and took some clothes with him. I went into my other room and I used my super speed to be ready in time and I chaught up with Bruce in the hallway.

We were eating our breakfast and Alfred hold a quick briefing for Bruce about where he have to go today.

"You'll have two meetings in Gotham, sir" he said and Bruce rolled his eyes like he was still a teenager.
"I know. It'll be horribly boring"
"But maybe you'll be able to visit some of your smaller businesses too". He tried to make him more excited.
"I know what you're trying to do but I'd rather stay at home than go to those meetings with those people. And I also have a guest" he said as he looked at me.
"Oh, it's not a problem at all. I'll have to work too"
"Great. May I prepare the car, sir?" Alfred asked but it wasn't really a question.
"Yes, thank you" he said with a resigned sigh. "Well, have a nice day, Clark" we shook hands and he left the house after Alfred.

I stayed alone so after I finished my breakfast and cleaned down the table to help Alfred I took a quick shower and started to work at the dining table. Alfred arrived home at 11 am. I thought Bruce'll come with him but he didn't. I asked Alfred about him.

"Oh, Master Bruce wanted to stay in the city until the next morning. He said that he's got lot of work to do" he said and he started making lunch. I wanted to help him but he rejected it. I see now where did Bruce inherit his stubbornness.
"When was the last time Bruce went on vacation?" I asked him and he was thinking really hard but he couldn't remember anything.
"Maybe the last time was when he went together with his parents when he was a little child"
"And do you think he would be happy to go on one?" I asked shyly.
"No, he won't be happy but he really need a break so if you decide to take him to a holiday I'll help you" he said and he turned back to his vegetables as I was thinking where should I take him where he can finally relax.
"I'll do it today" I saw the surprised expression on Alfred but he helped me planning the trip. At 2 pm the whole plan was ready.

Gotham City 10 pm

Time passed very slowly until evening. Finally I could start searching for Bruce to take him to a holiday. I was very excited but I knew that he'll resist it first. I was searching for him for like twenty minutes now and I finally found him. He's fighting some masked men one on of the dark streets.

He didn't go easy on them. I think he broke one of the man's jaw. It looked very painful especially for me who can't get injured. He deafeted them very quickly and when he already handcuffed them I grabbed him and flew up to the sky.

Somewhere in the sky 10.30 pm

 Bruce frozed down, but only for a few moments before he started fighting me. He tried to jump down but we were already too high for that. Finally he gave up on running away and started arguing.

"What do you think you're doing?" he yelled at me but I ignored him. "Gotham needs me and where are we going?"
"I won't tell you. It's a surprise" I said and he looked at me like I was crazy. Maybe I am a little bit.
"I hate surprises". I bursted out laughing.
"You love surprises. You always come from the shadows and surprise everyone"
"No, I'm not just surprising them. I scare them to death. It's not the same thing. Or you can say that I only love surprises if I'm the one planning it out" he said and he gave me an annoyed look because I still couldn't stop laughing.
"Don't worry. You'll love the place where I'll take you"
"How could you know that? You don't kno..." he said, but he couldn't finish it. I felt pain between my ribs. I hardly saw anything from the pain and we started falling. We were at least 2000 meters from the ground. "You're bleeding" he said in shock but I knew that "We have to stop falling. Can you do something?" he asked more calmly.
"I can try". I managed to slow us down. We were 500 meters from the ground when I fainted out.

Bruce's pov 

I had to figure out how to stay alive. I knew that Superman will survive the fall but I won't. My only luck was that Superman could slow us down and we weren't that high either. I took of my cape and used as a parachute. I was still too fast but I could land on my feet after a rolling on my back. I'll kill him for this.

I put my cape on and I went to check if Clark was still alive. He was alive and I blew out the air I had been holding for a long time. I've been worried about him as always. He does very stupid things sometimes (like kidnapping me) and that's why I can partly agree with the CADMUS about him. I thought the same thing about him ten years ago but he would never hurt anybody on his own. Now I know that.

I examined his injury and I saw a piece of kryptonite in his body. It must be very painful but I can't take it out because I don't have the right equipment to do it. I looked around and I saw lights not too far away from us. I checked my GPS. We were at the state border and there was only one little town close to us which was the worst. I found out a few months ago that they found kryptonite here and the goverment sent the army here and they started mining. This is the only town which isn't free in America. We have to get out of here as fast as possible.

Clark finally woke up but he was very weak. I helped him stand up and we went into the town.

In the town 11.30 pm

In the town there were patroling soldiers so we had to be careful. I knocked silently at the first door but they didn't answered. I did this for a few times but I never got a reply and Clark looked worse than when we left. He lost too much blood. I put his cape around his injury to stop the bleeding but he needs help.

I knocked on the next door (maybe it was the seventh) and finally they opened it. There was a boy in the door and I heard his mother's shouting.

"Who's at the door? Is it your father?"
"No, he is in a black dress and he's looks like a bat" he turned to me now "Are you the real Batman?"
"Yes, I'm Batman and my friend needs help. Could you help us?" I crouched down so I could look into his eyes.
"Yes, come in" he let us in and I helped Clark to sit down on a chair. The boy's mom came out from her bedroom and she almost screamed but I quickly put my hand on her mouth.
"You don't have to worry, we're not here to cause trouble but he need help or he'll die. Do you promise that you won't scream?" I asked and she nodded. "Thank you".

I took off my hand and she remained in silence. She did more than that. She said that she works as a nurse in the nearest city and she helped me taking the bullet out of Clark. I could see that he was very exhausted and the injuries were unfamiliar to him. I really tried my best to make him relax but it wasn't easy, especially that I was in the bat costume.

We were almost ready when someone knocked at the door. It was the boy's father. When he stepped inside I stood up next to Clark.
"What are these creatures doing in our home?" he yelled at his family when he saw us.
"They needed help so I helped them. I'm a nurse and I made a promise to help everyone who needs it"
"It'd be a bigger help if you'd let them die"
"But daddy, they are heroes" the boy said and I saw tears fall down his face. I became angry. He should be glad that at least he has a family. How dare he talk to them like that. 

I think Clark could sense my anger. He tried to grab my arm to pull me back but I was faster this time.

"We're not here to cause any kind of trouble. If you want money for keep this a secret, name a price" I said on my scariest voice and I could see the fear in the man's eyes.
"10.000 dollars" he said and I immediately pull out my check book and wrote two checks. I handed them over to the woman.
"15.000 dollars and another 5.000 for the boy to university. Maybe he won't end up like his father in a mine" I said and I turned to Clark to help him stand up before the man changes his mind about letting us go.
"You've got half an hour" the man said and he slammed the door after we stepped out.
