  I hang up the phone, my face blank without emotion. Causing Bruce to worry.
"Aria! What happened" he asks pulling my onto his lap. I burry my head in my hands, trying to think of a way to tell him. He wraps his arms around my waist and hugs me tight, comforting me.
"It's my dad" I start, "they found him dead, some kind of robbery mishap they said" I finish with a lump in my throat.

I start to sob hysterically,but I don't know why. It's not like he loved me. When he left me he said it was because I wasn't good enough
My breathing hitched as my shoulders move every time I sob harder. "Why didn't he love me" I cry, turning around warping my arms around him. "I'm sure he did" he says rubbing my back. I shake my head violently, "No No No" I announce. "He left me because I wasn't good enough" I take in a deep breath, "a-and my M-mother left me because I wasn't good enough"

This brought me to my edge, my eyes making more tears if that was even possible. I unexpectedly pull myself from Bruce and stand up. I scrunch my hands in my hair, my face squeezing together as I let out a whimper of heartbreak. "They all left" I state, pacing back and forth. "Why is everyone leaving me?" I collapse on the floor, my knees pulled to my chest.

This makes Bruce quickly scramble off of the bed and rush to me. "What's wrong with me?" I ask myself with streams of water down my face. I feel his arm around me, and I let myself fall into him. He lifts up my chin with his finger so I can look at him. "Nothing is wrong with you, I promise" he sternly says with glistening eyes. He abruptly attaches his lips on mine, kissing me roughly yet passionately. As if he took away all of my strong emotions away, I kiss back harsher tugging at his curls at the nape of his neck. He gently pulls back, "there's nothing wrong with you, and they're never will be, you got that darlin?" He whispers soothingly.
"Can we do something?" I question. "Like what?" He inquires. A smirk spreads across my face. "Arcade?" I ask looking up at him. "You bet"

I stand up and grab some clothes to change into, as I walk into my bathroom I noticed how much of a wreck I was and it disgusted me. I turn on the faucet and splash some cold water on my face. I take off my old clothes and change into black skinny jeans an a white crop top. I swiftly run a brush through my hair getting out some of the tangles.

I walk back into my room and slip on some shoes then look at Bruce, "let's go babe" I say sweetly. He smiles at me and softly kisses my cheek. "This'll be fun" I hear him exclaim, making me chuckle.

Time skip*
After about two hours of laughing,kissing, playing ski ball and the other impossible games to win. Bruce had enough tickets to get a stuffed animal and after that we decided to go.

While we walk through a dark alley, hand in hand with my head on his shoulder. A couple of big guys slither out of a building. "Well my my my, what do we got here?" One says looking me up and down licking his lips, making me uncomfortable.

"Leave her alone" Bruce demands with a straight face, causing the guy to walk up to him. "And what are you gonna do about it?" He asks pushing Bruce harshly. "This" he swings his fist making it connect with the guy's nose making a cracking sound. The guy groans as he stumbles back holding his nose. "Ricky, get the chick" he orders. The big guy walks to me as I spread my legs apart to steady myself and put my fists out. "Oh, that's adorable" he says with a smirk. I spin around while I extend my leg out, kicking him in the jaw. Pretty hard I might add. He falls back completely into the cement.
"That's my girl" I hear Bruce mutter.
"You fucking slut" the other one says walking to us. Bruce clenches his jaw then uppercuts him.

Bruce watches him fall then he walks over him, "Don't ever talk about a lady like that" he growls and spits on him. He turns to me, "Well, to be honest. I didn't think you had that in you" he admits. I cross my arms over my chest, "What do you mean?" I ask not amused. He scratches the back of his head, "um.. it's just that, you know. You're a girl and that girls typically don't have the same strength or-or power as guys..."

I knit my eyebrows together in anger, "so you're saying I'm weaker because I'm a girl?"
He looks at me dumbfounded, "uh..no?" He says more like a question.
"Wrong answer Bruce Wayne" I say walking away, frustrated and heated. "Baby wait!"
"I just need space right now"

I walk to the building that I knew that she would be at. A year ago she gave me an offer that she would help me train for fights like what just happened,of course if I wanted to. I hope her offer still stands...
