There wasn't much for me to do. Batman, or Bruce Wayne, was easy to find. Now I sat outside of his office, fearful that he would find out who I was and that Joker would found out where I was. His assistant brought me to a door after some time and Bruce sat there, looking at me. The assistant was shooed away and I stood there.

Bruce had squinted eyes at me. "So, did Lex Luthor send you to me?" Well, at least he was still kind of convince I was Genevieve.

I sat down in front of him and shook my head. "No, not at all. I'm here on my own to discuss some things about.." What was I thinking? There was no way that I would be able to go with this. "Okay, I'm nervous. Lex is having a party at his place. Would you be able to come and be my date?" His eyes widened as he sat back, his hand in his mouth. My body was trembling. For some reason, I felt like I was betraying Joker. I knew I wasn't because he's no longer mine. Sadly, I would always be his. This all made me confused as I sat in front on Batman.

His smile was beautiful as he got up and stood in front on me, siting just a little bit on his desk. "It is an honor to accompany you at this dance, Miss Evans. What time would you like me to pick you up?" This was going too smooth in my mind. I have a game to play, however. Even if that meant to play with this sweet mans heart.

"Oh, Bruce, I'll be picking you up. 1900 sharp." My voice was dominate and a kiss was gently placed to his cheek. Slowly, I pulled away before whispering in his ear. "See you then." He smiled to me as I walked out the door and sent a wink at him before leaving.

While I was in my car, I let myself breathe. Everything was so out of order in my brain but I knew that my plan was actually going very well. After I was done having a tiny freak out, I drove to the LexCorp building.

Lex was happy to see me, of course. We kissed each other on the cheek and walked to his office. Once he sat down, I read his list to him.

"Okay so you just have to prepare for this party, really. You've got to go over the list of people so you know everyone there and then go to get your hair done and dress suit on." He pulled out our cigars and I sat in a chair that sat next to the desk.

Lex faced me, a nervous smile on his face. "So, will anyone be accompanied by my lovely assistant today?" I nodded and then gave him a list of everyone with a small description of why they would be there. His lists were always too detailed and he knew exactly why they were there. It made no sense why he had to go over it once again.

I smoothed down my pencil skirt and coughed a little. "Actually, I do." While he was looking at his list, his smile faded. "I will be going with a Bruce Wayne!" He folded the list and gave me a creepy smile. "Splendid! How about you go down and have your hair a makeup done? Also, my people are going to be providing a dress for you." I nodded and left the room. It was clear to me that he was jealous and I felt bad. This is for the best. I really don't need to be with a bad guy anymore anyways.

When I got to his house, a lady grabbed my arm and began to pull me over. "Miss Evans! Please go into the shower and make it fast. The party is in four hours!" This was all odd to me, I've never been dressed up.

His shower was huge and it didn't take me too long to wash my hair and then I realized that my tattoos were no longer covered. I freaked out a little bit because why the hell would Lex have body foundation? Everything was at stake right now and I decided to brush it off knowing I could come up with something. The dress that was waiting for me was the most beautiful one I've seen yet. It fit around my curves wonderfully and I went to do the ladies.

    They started on my makeup and the lady who walked me in, Maria, was shocked at my tattoos, I acted as if I didn't care for them and waved my hand. "Trust me when I say I definitely regret my youth years. Can we keep this between us?" We laughed and she nodded, beginning to put my makeup on. After that, my hair was done and I was given shoes. Maria brought me to the mirror and we both jumped around, happy with the finish. I've never felt so beautiful.

    "Thank you so much Maria. You have no idea how happy I am!" We hugged and I went to my car, driving off to pick up my date.

      As I walked through his building, people looked at me and spoke. My body swayed when I walked and Bruce and I met in the middle. His eyes wandered around my body as he picked my hand up, bowing a little as he kissed it. My face lit up in awe as I pretended to act like I was in love with his reaction.

       We walked with our arms intertwined to my car where I opened his door. He laughed lightly and shook his head when I walked to my side. I started the car and he spoke to me. "So, Miss Evans, you're not old fashioned at all, huh?" One of my hands were on the steering wheel and the other managed the manual transmission. "No, Bruce. Please call me Genevieve! We should get on a first name basis if we are going to be close." He nodded and looked out the door, repeating my name.

       My face was starting to hurt from fake smiling for the whole car ride and I took the moment we began to walk in as some time to be myself for a second. Instantly, my face felt better. Relaxed and stern, I looked around to find Lex. He found me first as he walked up to me, kissing my hand and looking into Bruce's eyes.

       "Oh Bruce Wayne! You've got a dashingly brilliant and gorgeous date alongside with you!" Bruce looked at him as if trying to show dominance and Lex didn't back down. Instead, he did the same. For some time, they were quiet, almost trying to be alpha man to the women they both seemed to want. Truthfully, I could kill them both within a blink of an eye.

       This should be fun!
