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

Chapter 15

   KIANNA'S POV

  The very next day, I woke up to Lois clinging to me as she slept. Someone knocked on the door very lightly, and it was Mrs. Kent. She sent me a soft smile before she sat down on the bed.

  I sat up slowly yet carefully, so that I didn't wake Lois up.

  Mrs. Kent pulled me in for a very short side hug and said,"Oh, honey. I know you didn't get to tell him."

  I nodded and looked down at Lois.

  I said to Mrs. Kent,"Mrs. Kent, this is all my fault. I could've done something to stop this from happening. I don't know what I could've done, but I could've done something."

  Lois moved slightly and snuggled more into me. I sighed and rubbed her back for a few seconds.

  Mrs. Kent lifted my chin and said,"Honey, I wish that you could've done something, too, but that's just not how it worked out. I miss him, too. He was my son, but he loved you, too, Kianna. All we can do now is just be there for Lois and try to take care of ourselves, all right?"

  I nodded and weakly said,"Yes, ma'am. Will you do me a favor?"

  Mrs. Kent held my hand and rubbed my knuckles saying,"Anything, Kianna."

  I squeezed Mrs. Kent's hand and said,"When I'm feeling down and I would like to spend some time with you, you'll let me spend some time with you. And if you're really busy, you'll at least allow me to just sit with you for a minute or two. You're like my second mother, and I'll need you."

  Mrs. Kent smiled and put her free hand on my face before she pulled me in for a hug.

  I smiled as I wiped a few tears from my cheeks saying,"I should probably be on my way now, Mrs. Kent. Bruce has been waiting on me for a very long time."

  Mrs. Kent just nodded. I laid Lois back down onto the bed very carefully. I kissed Lois' cheek and hugged Mrs. Kent before I left. I spotted Bruce leaning on his car, and I quickly got into the car with him. It was quiet for a minute before Bruce made me look at him.

  He leaned over the seat and kissed me. I kissed back and brought him closer to me.
 
  Bruce slowly pulled away from the kiss and asked me,"Are you all right, Ki?"

  I took a deep breath and nodded saying,"Fine, I..I just don't wanna think about it too much. I'm sorry for making you wait, Bruce."

  Bruce shook his head and drove down Mrs. Kent's long driveway. On the way back to Gotham, Bruce held my hand. So, yes, he only drove with one hand and not two. I trusted him not to crash, though. Occasionally, Bruce would even kiss my hand.

  I loved him.

  When we made it back to Gotham, Bruce helped me get out of his car. I smiled and kissed his jaw before he led me into Wayne Manor. Alfred pulled me in for a hug. Being myself, I instantly hugged Alfred back.

  He said,"Don't worry, Ms. Kianna. Mr. Kent is in a better place."

  I nodded and smiled saying,"Yeah, he sure is. I just wished I could've said goodbye first."

  Bruce massaged my shoulders as I leaned into his touch.

  Bruce chuckled and smirked saying,"Someone misses me, though I don't know if I miss her, too."

  I rolled my eyes and tried to hit Bruce, but he dodged my attack.

  Bruce grabbed my wrists while Alfred shook his head saying,"Master Wayne, please don't play rough with Ms. Kianna."

  I laughed, but Bruce just tightened his grip around my wrists. I winced in pain, and Bruce immediately let go of my wrists.

  He quickly apologized and said,"Ki, I'm so sorry. I promise I would never mean to hurt you. Kianna, I'm sorry."

  I just hugged Bruce's waist. Bruce tensed at first, but he relaxed eventually.

  I chuckled and said,"You're such a softie, Batman. It's what I love about you, though."

  Bruce chuckled and smiled down at me. I smiled back at him and found myself getting lost in his eyes.

  Bruce leaned in slowly.

  His lips almost met mine, until he mumbled,"Kianna, there's something that I need to ask you."

  I intertwined my fingers with Bruce's and hopefully said,"Yes, Detective?"

  Bruce took a deep breath, and I had to hear whatever he was going to say. Bruce opened his mouth to finally say whatever he was going to say, but the guys walked into the room.
  I was a little upset, but I hadn't seen them in a long time. They all attacked me in hugs and kisses on the cheek, and I just found myself accepting their love.

  I sent Bruce an apologetic smile. He sent me a wink and jogged out of the room.

  Jason said,"I think we interrupted something. Ooo, Kianna looks upset about it. Why is that?"

  I went to say something, but Dick scolded Jason,"Jason, it's none of your business, but I think it had something to do with a certain relationship. That's my best guess. Am I seeing the future Mrs. Wayne?"

  I immediately covered my face. I was sure that they knew that I wanted to be Mrs. Wayne more than anything. Bruce and I have been together for a while now. I wouldn't mind getting married and possibly expanding this-
  I felt hands on my shoulders and looked up to see Bruce. Bruce pecked my lips before he took me up to his bedroom. He laid us down and wrapped his arms around me protectively. I smiled and kissed his nose before I got comfortable.
