Faster Than A Speeding Bullet: A Batman/Superman Love Story

Chapter 6

   KIANNA'S POV

  I woke up to being in Batman's arms. Bruce just forgot to take his suit off, that's all. Hey, I wasn't going to complain, though, because I was deeply in love with Batman. Don't tell Bruce, but I have always had a thing for him in that suit.
  It was just something about Batman that completely messed with my head.
I was too busy thinking about Batman that I didn't even notice that he was up already. I yelped in surprise, which caused Bruce to chuckle.

  I playfully rolled my eyes.

  Bruce said,"Honey?"

  I loved it when Bruce called me that. I really did.

  I hmmed in response before Bruce lifted my chin and confessed to me,"Ki, I love you."

  Those three words were just so powerful. It made me feel so good whenever Bruce told me that he loved me.

  I put my hand over Bruce's hand and said,"I love you, too, Dark Knight. You're so incredible."

  I covered my mouth, and Bruce laughed at me.

  He held my chin and smiled down at me saying,"Why, thank you, Kianna. You're incredible, too. I don't think I've ever met a woman that could compete with you, Kianna."

  I awwed and pecked Bruce's lips saying,"Baby, I really adore you, too. Bruce, I'm so sorry that I allowed my fear to keep me from just being honest with you. I was just afraid that I'd lose you if things had been a little bit different. I understand if you don't love me as much as you would have in the past."

  I looked away from Bruce, not wanting my brown eyes to give away how I was feeling right now. Bruce lifted my chin, and I couldn't make eye contact with him.

  Bruce kissed my nose and said to me,"Hey, I will always love you. There's nothing that you could ever do that could make me hate you or be deeply upset with you. I may have been hurt, but that was the past. Let's just move on and forget about it, all right? I don't like seeing you upset."

  I nodded. Bruce kissed my nose again before he turned me around. Bruce wrapped his arms around me. I smiled and leaned into Bruce's touch before I heard someone entering the Batcave.
  That someone was Commissioner Gordon. Batman pulled me up, and I pouted. I didn't need to look at Bruce to know that he was smirking right now.

  I leaned on Batman's arm, and he wrapped his other arm around me. I smiled at Gordon before Gordon sent me a smile, too.

  Jim chuckled and said,"Look at you, Kianna. I haven't seen you in months! I see you and Batman are getting along just fine. Well, you and Bruce. I'm sorry. I'm still trying to get used to knowing who you really are, Bruce."

  Immediately, I buried my face in Batman's arm. Gordon laughed and talked to Batman for about an hour.

  Once Gordon finished talking to Batman, Gordon said to me,"I'll tell Barb that you're back, Kianna. Maybe you two can do something together if you'll be in Gotham for more than a day or two."

  Then, Gordon turned to Batman and said to him,"I gotta get back to the G.C.P.D. I'll reach out to you if I'll need your help with anything, Bruce."

  I hugged Gordon before he left. Not even two minutes after Gordon left, I chose to look up and admire Batman. Unfortunately, Bruce's blue eyes were hidden from me. I frowned but smiled, knowing Batman would always be here to protect me and for me to admire how amazing he was.

  Batman wrapped his arms around me and said,"Dinner?"

  Did he really just ask me that? Did I imagine it? Did I or did I not? Which one was it?

  Bruce searched my eyes for an answer, and I nodded saying,"Sure. Lead the way, Batman."

  I forgot that Bruce needed to change into the suit, so I gladly walked up the stairs.

  I owed it to him to give his privacy to change back into his normal choice of clothing.

  I walked into the kitchen and noticed that there were only two seats out. I went to ask Alfred about it, but I felt hands on my shoulders.

  Bruce pulled out a chair for me, and I smiled as I sat down in the chair. 

  Bruce scooted his chair close to my chair and looked me in the eyes saying,"Honey, I...I just wanted to ask you something. I don't know if this is a good place to start, but I already know how I truly feel about you. I want to be the man who you trust and come to love dearly with all your heart. I want to be the one that holds you, kisses you, and makes you feel when you're upset. I guess what I'm saying is: Kianna, will you be mine?"

  Tears of joy fell down my face.

  I nodded as I yelled,"YES, YES!! BRUCE, I'D BE HONORED TO BE YOURS!!"

  Bruce let out a sigh of relief and put a beautiful, golden necklace around my neck.

  Bruce held my hands and kissed each of my fingers saying,"I'm so glad that you said yes. I thought that you were either going to pass out or just run away from me."

  I laughed at Bruce, which caused him to smile down at me. I kissed Bruce passionately and held onto him so tightly. There was no way I was ever going to let go of Bruce. Ever.
