The Girl That Changed The Wayne (Book 2)

5. Closer

I carried her and she held on tight.

"Ow....." she said.

"What's wrong? Am I hurting you?" I asked worriedly and abruptly.

"No....it just hurts alot." Coraline winced.

"Don't worry, Dick and Helena are here." I said.

I carefully lowered her into the car and sat next to her.

"Oh sweet heart, what have they done to you?" Helena stared at her in shock.

"She got beaten up by kids......she might have a potiential sprain and has a few cuts and bruises on her. We need Alfred to look at it when we get home." I said.

We got home and I carefully carried her to Alfred.

"Miss Coraline has a sprain, but not severe. Her wounds and bruises are minor, but I can only dress them if it is clean, therefore she must take a bath." Alfred said.

I carried her to the bathroom and got her towel and carefully shut the door.

"Hey, Cory," I said outside from the door, "if you need help ask for one of the gals."

"Ok," she said.

Poor kid.

"How's Cory?" Jason said.

"Fine, I guess. She has a sprain and a few cuts." I said.

"Hm."

"Hey Damian." Jason said.

"What?" I said.

"I can see how much you care about her. Its cute." Jason teased.

"Shut up Jason." I flushed.

"Aww....does wittle Damian have feelings for Coraline?" Dick came out.

"You're playing with fire....." I warned.

"Wait.....do you have a crush on her? Ha! Wait till Alfred finds out!"

"Like I said Grayson, I know where you sleep....." I threatened.

He laughed.

"Ooh. Scary."

I heard Coraline scream.

...............................

I rushed to the door, and barged in.

She was spawled out in the floor in a pink shirt with pink and purple striped pajama pants.

"Cory, are you okay?" I asked.

"Ow.....I tripped." she said.

I carried her to Alfred. Dick and Jason cooed.

"You're lucky I have my hands full so that I don't choke both of you right now." I threatened.

"You hear that, Cory? He's acting strong around you to impress you."

They made stupid kissing noises.

She giggled.

"Tee hee." she said.

"They're stupid." I said straight out.

"Its adorable." she looked at me.
"So do you like me?"

I blushed.

"I-I"

"Aww you do!"

She kissed me on the cheek and I flushed deeper.
