The Bat's Dragon

Chapter 12

Emylee's POV
I count all of the students before ushering them on the bus. We are going to the museum today for a tour of it. They have a villain and hero gallery in it now. I'm walking with Marinette to view the gallery. She is giddy for right now, but I doubt she will like the past Robin suits or even the current ones. I mean they do kind of stand out because they look like traffic lights. Honestly the red and black would've been fine on their own. A darker red would also blend in better with the shadows and not stand out as much. I'm not a fashion designer, but I can say this was poorly chosen for kids that become Robin. What? B, you need to change the colors sooner or later because you'll loose another Robin if you aren't careful. That's hurtful. I wouldn't allow them to die again. Tell that to Jason Todd. How much do you know? More than I probably should. You'll need to start cutting the link off if you lose a family member. I'll talk with you later. Work calls. Alright. I sigh and cut off the link. Marinette and I continue to walk around for a bit before Batman's villains attack and an explosion happens above us. I tackle Marinette to the ground taking most of the debris from the explosion. I let out a sharp gasp feeling something pierce my leg. I grunt out in pain and push myself up to allow Marinette to move out from underneath me. She moves and I collapse back onto the ground. "Bugette, what is stuck in my leg?" I ask. She looks and gasps before explaining what she can see. "Fuck." I mutter under my breath. "Do you have your connection open?" She asks me. "No, you?" I ask. "Yes, do you want me to warn my soulmate?" She asks. "Yeah, that'll be our safest option." I say. "EMYLEE?!?! MARINETTE?!?!" Travis shouts sounding far away. I'm worried shouting out to him will let the villains know where Marinette and I are at. I can just get my phone and message him my location. That'll be better than shouting. I reach for my bag, but it slid into an area I can't reach due to the thing keeping me from moving. "Bugette, see that bag? Grab it and take my phone out of it. Either one of us will have to text our location to the others." I say. She nods and grabs it before handing me my phone. I quickly go to Travis's contact and message him

I hear a snap from above me and look up. The support keeping the rest of the debris from falling broke. Now it is all falling towards us. "Bugette move!" I shout. I put my phone back into my bag and try to get up before falling back to the ground as it all falls right on top of us. Spots are starting to decorate my vision.

Bruce's POV
I'm with the French class along with Damian in our alter egos. Superman is also here and he is keeping Travis from going into the museum. Why does he look so worried. I look around and don't see Emylee or Marinette. "Father? Where is Miss Lamb and Dupain-Chang?" He asks. I can tell he is worried about both of them, but doesn't know how to show it. "Superman let me the fuck go! My friend is still in there along with Marinette Dupain-Chang!" Travis shouts. A giant crash is heard from inside. "That didn't sound too good. I'll go look." I say. Damian follows me and we found the Vigilante and Villains exhibit. I stop in my tracks seeing a mess of debris and in the middle of it all an injured Emylee and Marinette. I rush over and start to move everything off of Emylee. Damian doing the same for Marinette. "Is mom going to be okay?" He asks. "Since when did you start calling her that?" I ask. "Two days ago." He says. I sigh and shake my head and focus on helping Emylee. I can see why she couldn't move her leg was pierced and a beam was on top of it. I gently pull her to me and pick her up along with her things. Damian doing the same thing with Marinette. We exist the building and take them to the ambulances waiting outside. Travis gets into the one with Emylee in it while Miss Bustier gets into the one with Marinette. They are taken to the hospital and I leave following them. Damian rode with me to the museum so he came with me to the hospital too; although, he could've gone back with Jason. The others from the class came because their chaperones are here too. We are told that Emylee will have to be here for tonight and tomorrow, but Marinette is free to go after 5 pm. I left but went back after patrol to check up on Emylee. How did I not know you were in danger?! I'm suspecting you are my soulmate because I had the same ache in my leg while I was on my way to the museum. Fuck! I need you to be more careful while you are here. I won't let you get hurt again. I hear a groan come from her bed and look over to see her waking up. I see her eyes flutter open and she looks around and sighs in either relief or something else. Then gains a look of panic. She sits up before wincing. "Those villains of yours need therapy. This whole city needs it." She says. I chuckle before going back to being stoic. "Why were you so injured?" I ask. "When your villains attacked the museum. An explosion went off above Marinette and I. Without really thinking about it I tackled her out of the way taking most of the debris for her." Emylee says. I walk over to her and lean over her. "Try not to get hurt like this again. Your cousins won't like this." I say. "Then why are you so worried and the one that is here? Shouldn't they be the one having this talk with me?" She asks. "Well yes they should. But they have no knowledge about what happened. And I suspect we have a deeper bond than what you have with them." I say. "Hmm. And you're not scared that I'll get even more hurt by just knowing you?" She asks. "I am worried, but trying to control you is out of the question." I say. I look between her lips and eyes trying so hard not to kiss them. "B, you should leave soon. The sun is about to come up." She says. "I'm sorry for this." I whisper. I lean in closer and kiss her. She grabs my arms tightly is surprise. I pull back and go to leave, but she pulls me back into a kiss. I pull away a second time and tell her I'll visit her once she's out of the hospital. "Goodnight then B." She says with a smirk. I leave and go to the Batcave dropping the stoic expression flushing at what just happened. What I have done? She could be in danger. I sigh and get changed out of my Batman suit going to my room and going to sleep.
