My Dearest Batman

Chapter 11: No More Losses

The next morning Selina woke up next to Bruce. Her head ached and she had wondered what had happened the night before, almost like a hangover. "What the hell happened?" She asked, and Bruce slowly rolled over wiping his eyes. He yawned,"Good morning Selina. I believe you slept well." "And you didn't."She said with sarcasm. "No." He answered with a serious look in his eyes.

"We need to talk about what happened last night." He continued. "What happened with you? This doesn't ever happen. Were you not focused?" He asked with a sincere look on his face. She looked into his eyes and said,"I don't know. I've never really had to do something like that. Normally I go into the building, take what I came for, and get out before anyone comes. This was just... It's just different." She said under her breath.

He looked at her and knew she would hat him for the words coming out of his mouth. "I'm not letting you go with me anymore. I can't risk you getting hurt." He looked into her eyes as a tear began to trickle down her face. "Teach me." She said. He looked at her startled by her response. "No. I won't do that. You'll get yourself killed." He said in a stern voice. "I don't even know why you worry so much. It's not like you can't get another girl to replace me by the next day." She said and then her tears ran down her face like rivers.

She got up from the bed and started gathering her stuff. "What are you doing?" He asked. She replied with a cracking voice,"I'm gonna go. You don't need me anyways. And if I can't work with you I'll just go back to working alone." She turned around. Her emotions had changed, her tears began to slow down. Her face then filled with anger. "You don't even care!" She said as she stomped her way out of the bedroom and down the stairs. He followed closely behind her. "Selina. Selina wait! Where will you go?"

She stopped at the bottom of the staircase and he stopped at the top. Both of them staring into each other's eyes. She then said,"I'm leaving Gotham." One last tear trickled down her face as she continued to stare. His began to water. His eyes were already a deep ocean blue and now they watery as well. Tears began rolling down his cheeks. She turned around and walked out the giant doors. He whispered to himself staring at the door,"Please don't leave me Selina."
