Different Worlds? / Batman x Reader (Under Editing)

Sorry for no Invite

 Slowly my eyes started opening, a metallic taste invaded my mouth. My body felt heavy and I was trying so hard to stay awake. I could see somewhat, blurry but I could see to my right light coming in the room, and a flowing white curtain. As my senses started coming back, I could notably sense the saltiness of the sea being carried by the wind that entered the room. I slowly moved my body towards the edge of the bed, and sat there a few seconds. My head felt like it was going to burst, and this sudden urge to vomit came over me which had me rushing towards the bathroom and puking my insides out. I don't know what happened, what gas was used or anything but it sure felt like a bad hangover. As I lingered on the toilet bowl, expecting another wave of nausea to hit I felt the presence of someone else.

- I am really sick and tired of everything. If you are here to kidnap me again, at least let me puke some more- I said staring at the toilet while talking to the presence behind me.

I could hear a warm yet soft laugh. The footsteps getting closer into the bathroom.

- I don't think that would work on kidnappers my love. But you are getting better at being aware of your surroundings.- Bruce said coming in the bathroom with a tray carrying water and some effervescent medicine.

I looked at him, really looking at him. From head to toe, inspecting his face, his talk and his stance. Now wearing an off-white color cubavera looking shirt and light khaki pants with some sneakers. Sunglasses holding his hair back and the smell of his usual cologne.

- It's really you- I said pushing myself off the ground and now standing comfortably in front of him.

- Yes, it is. Let's talk about what happened in a bit now, all your friends are safe. Take the medicine, have a shower and feel better.- He said setting the tray on the bathroom counter.

I nodded, took the medicine, poured it in the glass of water and gulped it in one drink. Immediately after brushed my teeth as I opened the shower stream and started getting undressed. Bruce left the bathroom and took the empty glass and tray with him, while I got ready. After a hot boiling shower I stepped outside and got something from my suitcase to put on quickly. My head pounding was getting lighter but I could still feel some of the after effects of whatever I was on. I rapidly strode outside the bedroom and ran downstairs to the main living area.

All my friends were sitting there, untouched, smiling, laughing and drinking as if nothing had happened. Bruce was there as well, sitting there with a smile, sharing a conversation. As I entered the room they all glanced my way.

- Damn Y/N, that hangover really hit you hard didn't it. We all were out for what feels like a whole day almost two but you. You got the worse one of them all.- Henry said blaming the recent events on a simple hangover. I looked at Bruce and he looked back nodding as if telling me to follow along with the story.

-Oh, yes. I still feel like shit you know.- I said taking a seat in one of the sofas that was available.

- Im glad Bruce had some last minute business here in Spain, he took care of you in your drunk coma.- Allison said laughing. -We all felt like shit, but today, today we drink again. Maybe skip those cocktails the bartenders gave us last time they were really strong.- She added.

-Let's stick to Monique's Don Julio- I said laughing almost too noticeable I was faking it.

I look over at Bruce and said. - Bruce do you have a second,I need your help with some problems back at the company and I know you can help me solve them quickly so I can get back to being in vacation- I said smiling, obvious for him I was lying. He nodded, set his water on the living room table and walked over to me, grabbing my waist and leading me to the outside terrace.

- So, what was that.- I said looking at the ocean infront of me.

- Scarecrow- He said getting close to my ear, smiling pretending he was engaging in another conversation since the guys inside could see us outside.

I nodded, pulling out my phone, pretending to show him something on it. -Never heard of the guy, what was his end goal. He uses some type of gas I see you are familiar with since you had the antidote or whatever.-

-Hmm- He nodded looking at my screen saver, pointing as if we were truly trying to solve a business issue. - From what I heard, when you call went through the morning they gassed you. Someone paid him to make you suffer, not kill you but put you through some temporary suffering. He was not even in sight, he was working remotely with some of his people from Spain. Therefore why your whole crew and tour guides and all changed last minute.-

-So, who hates me so much I needed to go through that gas induced fear game- I faked my smile for the other watchers.

-They mentioned Adrianne- He said looking back at the sea, I put my phone in my pocket and nodded.

- I see- I said grabbing the railing a little bit too hard as I stared at the sea with him.

-Well, this is not going to stop here isn't it- I said looking now back at him.

- No worries, the JL have been informed he's back in the game. Dick and Tim are helping me back in Gotham to track him and once we get back we can get a plan going to capture him. Once we do that, if there's any proof of his clients that have paid him, they're all being sent to the DA so they can proceed with attempted murder and kidnapping as well. Adrianne included.- He now moved his hand towards were mine was gripping the railing and softened my hold. He took his hand into mine.

- Sounds good. What I don't know is where she got the money to pay that guy. She must have used up all that she had if he is such a wanted criminal- I looked down at our hands, as I talked calmly.

- We will find everything out eventually, now just enjoy your time with your friends. I installed a tracking device on this, wear it.- He said pulling out a bracelet and placing it on my wrist. - Your friends were all given similar items with tracking devices by some locals pretending they were welcoming gifts so I have them all accounted for.-

-Thank you Bruce- I said looking back at them and smiling.

- I will be heading out tonight after dinner, you stay and enjoy. I have to help the guys with this scarecrow thing and keep focusing on Damian. He well, he has been growing at a very rapid rate. I am about to figure out the cause. Everything is fine for now.- He said planting a kiss on my forehead.

- I understand, again thank you- I said now walking hand in hand towards the living room space, incorporating ourselves back into the conversation.

I leaned back in the couch, looking around at my friends smiling pretending nothing had ever happened. 

-So, anyone up to going to the beach for a while?- I said trying to sound encouraging.

In unison, they all responded positively and headed to their rooms to change into bathing suits.

We all walked down to the beach, Bruce stayed behind probably taking advantage that we were all gone to continue investigating the recent events. After a while, as the sun went down we all headed back to the villa and had some dinner and drinks. After dinner Bruce left saying his goodbyes and we all headed to the pool to keep talking and have some more drinks. 

The week eventually passed, uneventful, we finally did the tour around the island, went to some of the famous Ibiza nightclubs and enjoyed our time together. The goal of distracting me worked, it was good while it lasted but once on the plane back every stressful thought and anxiety came back over me. Let's see what Gotham has in store once we are back.
