Stranded

Chapter 12

Mari's POV

After Talia left,  I felt exposed. I established that I was in a hospital but I couldn't find Damian in any of the wards.That worried me, everyhin that happened was a bit fuzzy after the capture by what if something...No,  Damian was alive. He was a fighter. I tested my flight and was happy to find it working. I went up to the roof and flew to Wayne Manor. There I floated to my room window and went in,  not wanting to wake everyone up. Inside,  I felt safe already .
Until I saw another figure standing in my room. I was about to starbolt the shadow but he turned around to reveal the face of Damian.
"Damian",  I say with relief,  I flew to him so fast , he didn't have time to prepare. My arms were around him,  making sure he was solid and him.
" I was worried when I didn't see you." He'd been standing shocked,  but now he wrapped him arms around me.
"I was worried about you too."he whispered in my ear.
He pulled back and his hand cupped my cheek,  pushing my hair back his eyes concerned,"Are you okay?"
I smiled,  "Healthy as a bildersnap."
He kissed me then,  a hungry kiss,  as though he'd been starved. A reassuring kiss so we both knew we were real and alive. And more,  it was loving.
I pulled away, touched my forehead with his and grinned," So you missed me huh?"
He gave me the smallest smile,  "Indeed."
I looked at the bags under his eye,  "Have you slept at all?"
"I don't require sleep." He said stubbornly.
I rolled my eyes and said, " Okay fine,  I need sleep,  stay with me?"
He nodded,  "It would be wise considering what we experienced on that island."
I slipped into the left side and he went around to the right. We were silent for a while until I asked, " Damian you sleeping?"
"No."
I turn and see him staring at the ceiling.
"Why were you in my room?"
He hesitated but answered, "I desired to be closer to you. This room has elements of you."
"Did it work?"
He shook his head and said natter of factly, " Nothing compares to having you beside me."
At that soul-lifting comment ,  I snuggled onto his chest,  "You're amazing ,  Damian."
"Yes of course,  I am."
I giggle.
Then he asks, " Do not think I am not happy at you arriving here,  but why did you leave the hospital? "
I snuggled into his chest,  "I don't really wanna take about it Dami... Can we just have a normal night?"
He began to draw on the side of my arm, "Alright,  a normal night with a half alien and a vigilante."
I giggle sleepily,  Damian's traces soothed me,  "Exactly."
Soon I drifted into a peaceful sleep.
