Pain in Arkham (Batman X Catwoman)

Chapter 12

BRUCE'S POV

My vision came back slowly, only to see the ceiling of the cave. Nobody is here , but the bats. My head still aching a bit. I tried to move, but my body is weak, I lost to much blood. I guess I can't do anything but rest 'til someone comes.

I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, nearly running. I searched with my eyes for somebody only to find a really angry Selina. She wore usual clothes, her hand on her hips. Her eyes on filled with anger, but also worry.

"What were you thinkin'? Going out alone?" She punched the pillow next to my head.
"I would really punch your face now." She said and sat on the bed I was on.

I'm sure that Talia was the one who stabbed me on the rooftop. She is still after us, what is that she wants? Vegeance? But for what? No, she sure is just as insane as her father.

"Sorry to make you worry." I said but my voice was still cracking. She just smiled and give kiss on my cheek, with that she walked away.

"You need to heal, so be a good kitty and sleep." She said, but not looking back. Probably smirking.

Six Days Later

My body almost fully healed, thanks to Selina and Alfred, who took care of me. Today I want to treat Selina with something, so I decided to invite her to a fancy restaurant for dinner and after could be the perfect moment to give her the ring.

Dick,my eldest adopted son walked in and noticed me standing in the minddle of the room.

"You're finally standing on your own legs." He said with a wide smile. I rarely see him laugh, so I'm just glad.

"Are you mocking me? I missed you too." I said also laughing, we dont have such a good time like this, but since Selina is living with us, I can see my boys laugh even more than ever.

"Will you come to patrol tonight?" He asked but I think he alredy knew the answer. I know he isnt a little boy anymore and he can handle the patrol by himself.

"You know I would like to go, but I am in no condition for that right now. And Sel wont let me on patrol I'm sure." I said and he started to laught really hard.

"Damn, womens suck." He said still laughing. He was looking down, still chuckling so he didnt see Barbara standing in the doorway, no doubt she heard everything. She had a really angry expression on her face, wich scared me a little bit, but I didnt warned him . It's not my problem,he said reckless things . I started to smile from the idea what will happen next and Dick noticed it.

"Huh? Is something on my face?" He said confused. In the next moment Barbara twisted his arm and dropped him the floor. She grabbed both of his hands and sit on top of Dick.

"How dare you say womans suck? " Barbara said smirking, Dick still tried to catch his breath.

"Urr...emm.... You know I didnt mean it.I was just kidding. " Dick tried to sit up, but Barbara forced him to stay on the floor.

Selina walked in the room, this meant she is ready for heading out. She was in sparkling black dress, it perfectly matched with her long black hair. I couldn't belive how delightful she is.

"You.. look beatiful, Sel." I said and she blushed a bit, I never used to she her like this, she used to be confident. But now she feels more sensitive. She can always show different sides of herself.

SELINA'S POV

Bruce invited me to some restaurant. I'm really nervous about going out with him, whenever I am with Bruce I just act like a weirdo. Whenever he comliments me I can't help, but blush. It's really weird for me I never had problems with boys. I guess its my frist love. How lame.

Bruce gently grabbed my hand and lead me out to the car, then opened the door for me and I sat in. He sat in too and started to drive, something was odd, he looked really stressed. I wanted to ask him if everything is okay, but I didnt want to bother him with it.

He used only one hand to drive, with the another he held my hand. These little thing made my hearth beat. We arrived to the restaurant and he went to speak with the waiter. Our table was next to window so I could see the lights of Gotham.

"I knew you would like it." He said when he saw me lookin' out.

"I like it whenever you are with me. Thank you. " I said still watching the lights. I couldn't look in his eyes, my face was red all over.

"What are you thanking me I should be the one thanking --"

He stopped when the lights suddenly turned off in the whole building. The whole city turned dark. Bruce didn't said anything, just held my hands. Everybody panicked and screamed, they tried to escape but the doors were already blocked from the outside. I feelt Bruce's hands thigtening around mines. He knows what will come.

It's been 5 minutes since everything went black in the city , yet nothing happened . Just when I nothing will happen, I heard the window break and with I was kicked to the ground. It was her. That Talia whore. I know Bruce wont kill people, but I do, I will kill her.

She was on top of me, a sharp knife in her right hand. Bruce didn't move. He knew if he moves, she will kill me. She brought some of Ra's Al Ghul's ninjas and they let everybody out, except us. After that, they left and it was only the three of us.

"What do we have here? Are trying to put your filthy hand on my Beloved?" Talia said looking at me with murderous eyes. She have gone utterly insane. Now she was holding the knife against my neck. I felt a little blood pour out. She was holding it too close.

"Huh? What do you say 'my'?He never was your and never will be." I said but she just started to laugh. Why?Bruce never said he knew her, so what? There is no way that there is something between them. Right?
