The Many Loves of Batman

Cybernetic Force (Angela Spica, aka The Engineer)

He sighed, massaging his head with circular motions. Trying to calm down the headache that he had at the moment. But he tried to keep on with his work, trying to actually finish one of his latest projects. He was engrossed, and he would rest after everything was done. The project was at the final stages, and he could not keep on delaying it any longer. Though a knock on the door made him stop whatever he was doing at the moment. He had to sigh, stressed for the sole fact that he had to stop doing what he was doing to answer whoever was behind the door.

"Come in" He stated, his eyes glancing up a bit while his attention stayed in the report he was currently overviewing before signing it. However, he completely looked up as soon as he noticed that Angela Spica, the heroine called the Engineer who was a member of the Stormwatch, walked through the door and into his office. He immediately noticed that she had activated her nanites, her mechanical armor covering her body completely. Though as she got closer to him, he saw that the nanites began to recede back into her body. Which only revealed the silky skin tone of the black-haired female which was wearing a suit that accentuated her body.

"Mr. Wayne, I have finished the schematics for the project that is in collaboration with Stormwatch" He let go of the report, a brow rising with intrigue as he waited for the female to completely approach him. He could see that the female had the tablet that he had given her as part of the project that the two of them were leading, the project that was sure to make heroes have an easier time when incarcerating the villains that would be in custody. He would try to help those that still had a chance to redeem themselves, but he could no longer hide the fact that there were villains that did not deserve a chance.

"Thanks, Angela..." He whispered, taking the tablet from her hands. As he took the tablet, he mistakenly grazed her own hand. He was about to apologize for the accident, though he noticed the slight blush on her cheeks. That made him create a faint smile over his face, his eyes looking over the schematics that Angela had just given him. The silence only lasted for the few minutes that he kept his eyes on the tablet before he gave the device back to the female in front of him. "I see that you have improved the project quite a bit. This should make life easier for everyone"

"Thank you for your words, Mr. Wayne" He just gave her a ghost of a smile, thankful that Angela had accepted his invitation to Wayne Industries to help him with the project that he had talked with her a few months ago. And he would not regret asking her again if he had the opportunity to do so. It was with this thought in mind that he gained yet another idea for a future project. He could also see that she had reverted back to identifying as Angela, the previous project helping the female with gaining back her emotions. "It is an honor to be working in a project that will help us all"

"We at Wayne Industries are the ones that are honored about having you with us, Angela" Bruce stated, which made the female immediately blush at his compliment. He could see that the female was slightly embarrassed about the words he had just stated about her. It seems that she has still not adapted to regaining her emotions. "But, you know..." He added, which seemed to make her regain her control over her previous blush. Her eyes looked at him with confusion, yet all he could see was the silver tint that the nanites provided her eyes with. It was a light that managed to intrigue him quite a bit and even drew him towards her. "I really had to thank you for accepting this. You have been a light that has helped all of us, especially me, during all of this"

Her blush came back and with an added force, a shy smile tugging her lips at his compliment. He even saw just how she tried to avoid his eyes, her head moved slightly to the left in the chances to look elsewhere. It only made his ghost of a smile widen a bit, his mind telling him to not let out the chuckle that he was close to letting out. That would serve to embarrass her even further and he was not looking to do so. So he decided to just stare silently at her reactions, his eyes completely focused on the female that was right in front of him.

"Bruce... You honor me, but I am no one special..." She whispered, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly at the comment that she made about herself. He couldn't tell if it was because of previous insecurities that she may have had or because she really felt that she was no one special. But in his eyes, she had been the one responsible for getting him and his company to another level. He couldn't allow her to keep feeling such emotions. Which was why he gently cupped her chin and redirected her eyes to look straight at his own. He stared deep into her eyes, noticing quickly how the blush she still had turned a bit darker.

"Angela, you are very special... Remember that always" He stated, leaning in towards her face as he gave her a kiss. He could feel the immediate moan that came from her lips, gently partaking in the kiss that he had started. The tender moment imprinted into his mind, a connection that made him remember that they were more than partners during these projects that he had her lead. They had shared more than just their secrets and battles with one another, they had a connection that could not be broken. A pillar that not only supported him mentally, but managed to help him emotionally to battle the demons that would haunt him. And he was going to make sure that he would be that kind of pillar in her life as well.
