My Dearest Batman

Chapter 13: Wrong Idea

Bruce had just gotten off of the plane and was at the baggage claim. He saw a woman with long brown hair, wearing all black and sunglasses. He ran towards her. When he got to the spot he had seen her last she was gone. He looked through the crowd impatiently and saw her again. He followed her and soon she stopped to grab her own bag. She took the sunglasses off to read the tags.

He was disappointed to see that it wasn't Selina. He then went back to get his own bag and got a taxi. When he arrived at his cabin there was a letter on the night stand by the bed. He picked up the letter. "My dearest Batman" it read. Tears formed in his eyes as he opened the envelope. "I'm sorry for all of done to you. All I wanted was to be with you, and help you. But you don't want my help. I'm not needed in Gotham. You are. Go back and be happy Bruce. Forget you ever met me. But always remember, your kitty cat loves you. ;)"

He began to cry as he read the last sentence. She was gone and this time there was no trace left behind. He had no way of finding her. No way of contacting her. There was nothing left of her except for the letter. He put the letter in his pocket and dried his tears. He bought the next ticket back to Gotham and by the next morning he was home. Alfred greeted him and soon realized the sorrow in his eyes. "No luck Master Bruce." He said in a low voice.

Bruce shook his head and said,"No. All she left was a letter." He took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to Alfred. Alfred quickly read it and said,"Well Master Bruce, there are plenty more fish in the sea. You'll find another woman and she'll be twice as good. You deserve better anyway." The sorrow in Bruce's eyes quickly turned to rage. "You don't understand Alfred!" He yelled. "She was the only one I wanted. The only one that understood me. No other women are like her. She's different. She's like me."

Alfred looked at him in a confused manner. "She's a vigilante but that's the only thing you have in common." Alfred said. Bruce looked at Alfred even more angrily. "That's what you don't understand Alfred. She was an orphan as a child just like me." He said with a fearsome look in his eyes. "I went to the wrong place and I'm going to find her this time. She's the only one that understands." Bruce ran into his father's office and opened the entrance to the Batcave. "I'm gonna find you my kitty cat." He whispered to himself.
