   Y/N'S POV

  Right now, I was really stressed and worried about Bruce. Scarecrow, The Arkham Knight, and many other villains had taken control of Gotham, and Batman was in the middle of it. I knew Bruce could handle it, but something seemed off about this whole thing.

  I leaned on my arm, and someone rested their hands on my shoulders.

  Alfred sent me a weak smile and squeezed my shoulders saying,"Master Bruce will be all right, but I fear that he may turn himself in to Scarecrow. Keep faith that he will return."

  I nodded, and Alfred held out his hand. I smiled and put my hand in his hand, giving it a small squeeze. I let my hand fall, and Tim anxiously rushed into the Batcave. I went to tell Tim about Barb, but Alfred shook his head and motioned something to me.
  I sighed and shook it off. The truth was: Barb had gotten kidnapped by Scarecrow, but now she was...she was dead. Barb had been such a big part of my life for so long I did not know what I was going to do without her.

  I double blinked and realized I was crying.

  Tim put his hand over mine and said,"Y/N, are you all right? What's the matter?"

  I wiped my face and calmly said,"Nothing, I am just really worried about Bruce. Look, my hands are shaking."

  Alfred handed me tissues, while Tim changed the subject saying,"Have you seen Barb? Is she okay? I have not heard from her in a while."

  I gave him a smile and said,"She is fine. It is just...Bruce has her working on some stuff at the Clock Tower. Very complicated stuff. By that, I mean things I could never figure out."

  Tim chuckled, and I smiled, knowing that I had made him chuckle.

  I suggested,"Need any help with the cure? I could-"

  Tim cut me off by putting a hand on my shoulder and saying,"No, Bruce would kill me if I involved you any further in any of this. Bruce will need you, so we cannot afford to have any more deaths on our hands. No offense, though. I will be back as soon as I can."

  I kissed Tim's cheek and gave him a hug, before he left the Batcave.

  I sighed and leaned on Bruce's desk saying,"Alfred, why can I not just tell him? He deserves to know the truth."

  Alfred said,"Because Master Bruce should be the one to tell him about Ms. Gordon. I fear that Master Bruce's timing of telling Master Timothy will weaken their relationship, but we will see what happens between Master Timothy and Master Bruce."

  Speaking of Bruce, Batman arrived inside the Batmobile and jumped out. I squealed and ran to him, tackling him to the ground. Batman let me, before I apologized and helped him up.
  I slowly lifted his cowl and was met with those blue eyes I had come to fall head over heels for. Bruce chuckled and pecked my lips, before he headed over to the Batcomputer.

  As Bruce walked over to the Batcomputer, I could tell something was wrong.

  I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist saying,"Baby, is everything okay? Bruce..."

  Batman sighed and said,"Alfred, would you please give us a minute?"

  Alfred nodded and held my hand for a moment, before he headed up the stairs. Bruce turned around and faced me. Tears were already forming in my eyes, because I thought Bruce was gonna break up with me.

  Bruce cupped my face saying,"No, no, that is not what that means, sweetheart. I am not going to leave you, okay? I do need to talk to you about something."

  I nodded and sniffed saying,"About you trying to turn yourself in? BRUCE, NO!! I NEED YOU HERE, AND I AM NOT LOSING YOU AGAIN!! I LOVE YOU!!"

  I held Bruce back and tightly held Bruce's Batman suit.

  Batman looked down at me with sympathetic eyes and stroked my cheek slowly saying,"If I turn myself in, then the family will be safe. This is my choice. I am not gonna lose anyone else I care about."

  I let my tears fall and rested my head on his chest saying,"I know that, Batman, but there is always another choice. You even said it yourself, Bruce. I am coming with you. Maybe we can figure something else out together."

  I grabbed my jacket, and Batman gently grabbed my arm saying,"No, you are staying here. I need you out of harm's way and away from me. I know it is hard, Y/N, but I have to save Gotham. Don't you understand?"

  It was painful, but I understood why.

  I nodded and weakly said,"Yes. I love you, Bruce. Try to come back for me, please?"

  Bruce nodded and kissed me passionately. I kissed back and held him so tight, there was no room left between us. I held on for the longest and did not want to let go. I knew I had to, so I slowly pulled away from the kiss.

  Bruce put his forehead on mine and said,"I love you, too, Y/N. Stay safe and protect the family. Yes?"

  I smiled weakly and said,"Got it. Be on your best behavior, Bruce. Batman?"

  Batman turned around, and I sent him an encouraging smile saying,"You do what you have to and remember I will always be here to help guide you."

  I blew Bruce a kiss, before he smiled and sent me a nod. I leaned on the desk and talked myself into letting Bruce handle this, even though I wanted nothing more than to go with him. Bruce knew what he was doing, and I had to trust that me staying here was the best decision.
