Crime In Gotham

Chapter 6: Together

Percy P.O.V

Seeing people change isn't what hurts. What hurts is remembering who they used to be. But seeing Bruce like this hurt more then anything I've ever experienced.

I Ieft on my own why question it now? What I did was right....right?

It may have been but I missed him more than the sun misses the sky at night.

He has always been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember and I left him alone.

"I'm sorry Sephone so so sorry please don't leave me.....I'll tell you anything you want to know just don't leave," Bruce said to me.

"I'm not going anywhere. Now come on we can talk while I fix your hand."

I lead him to my old room and he sits on my bed while I grab a pair of tweezers.

I sit next to him taking his bloody hand in my own and begin pulling the glass out.

"Where were you those seven years Bruce?" I ask him.

He looks away from me for a second before turning back to me.

"I was mostly training with the League of Assassin's."

I almost dropped my tweezers when I heard what he said...  The league of Assassins never seen but heard of.

"Are you crazy! Oh my God, I love a suicidal man!" I said to myself out loud making him chuckle.

"So that's how you were able to become Batman....." I say quietly but he still heard me.

"You knew?!?!"

"Yeah It took me a while to piece it together but it makes sense now......is there anything else you want to confess?" I say still picking out the glass.

"Percy if I tell you this you have to promise me you won't leave. It was a mistake your life was threatened." He says beginning to cry hard.

"I promise.....what is it Bruce your scaring me?"

"I'm sorry Percy. I am so so so sorry you didn't deserve this you deserve so much better I just....... please forgive me it'll never happen again." He begs making me confused what did he do?

"What happened Bruce?"

"I-I had sex with Talia al Ghul. It meant nothing I swear I love you and you only."

I stopped wiping the blood from his hands and looked up at him teary-eyed.

He had sex with Al Ghul's daughter. I didn't know what to think or to feel. I couldn't even breathe right.

"H-How could you do this to me?!" It hurt the sting of betrayal.

"I'm so sorry. I love you so much it hurts." Bruce says pulling me into a hug still being cautious of my baby bump.

I couldn't hug back I couldn't move. I just sat there while Bruce grabbed a fistful of my shirt and cried into my shoulder.

"It It's okay," I whisper trying to find my voice. "It's behind us. This was years ago.  We'll get through this together."

Even though I said It I had a hard time believing it. Would we be okay in the end?
