.1938572858399495849922 seconds. So here's your chapter.

------------------------------------------------

Sitting in the shower I watched as the water turned a rusty color till it all flowed down the drain. My skin was raw from to much scrubbing but I felt like I was still dirty. After an hour of sitting under the scolding water I dried off, putting on some sweats I walked out. Going straight for the med bay I found where was Dick was. Sitting up in a bed was my husband, his head lifted when he heard me.

"Hi," I said softly with a crack to my horse voice. All he did was put his arm out and I was at his side with his good arm wrapped around me. "I killed him," I whispered. "I said I would never do that again, that I would never take someone's life and I did," no tears fell from my eyes though all of them were gone.

"He deserved to die-"

"Don't you think I know that!" I said suddenly pulling away. Grabbing at my hair I pased the short area in the room. "He was a terrible person! He needed to be killed, but why did I have to be the one to do it! I'm always the one that loses control and kills people! Me! And then Kye comes along and he has the same problems as me and someone finally understood how I felt..but I doesn't matter now, he's dead," catching my hand he pulled me so I was standing in between his legs. Cupping my cheek he made me look at him.

"Make me understand what you feel, you always kept it locked up. Don't hide it, tell me what it makes you feel,"

"Dick no, you may love me now but no one can really love a monster,"

"You are not a monster!" He yelled shocking me. "I'm sick of you always saying your a monster, your not! But you know what you are! Your the love the mother of my children, and my best friend. Not a monster," pulling me forward our foreheads were placed together. Leaning up I kissed him softly.

"Thank you, I needed that," I whispered. "I feel like your my anchor, my reason to stay intact and not let the anger take me over...but when he shot you I lost it. I couldn't loss you, not again,"

"I understand why you did it, no one is angry with you either," kissing my forehead he attempted to wrap his arms around me but winced.

"Hey no using your arm for at least a few weeks," I scolded lightning the mood a little. "Looks like your on bed rest with me," a croaked smile came to his lips as he kissed my lips.

"I can think of a lot more worse things then spending a few weeks on break with my wife," smiling up at him I wrapped my arms around him like he does for me normally. "Your making me feel like a girl right now," he whined as he leaned his head back. Kissing his exposed neck I smiled a little more.

"I love you," I said softly placing my head on his chest.

"I love you too," crawling onto the bed we laid down with me cuddling into his good shoulder as I traced patterns on his shirtless stomach.

"You know we always end up like this," I said out of the blue.

"Like what?"

"One of us injured and the other coming and cuddling with the other. It's a cycle, a routine even,"

"Well I don't know about you but having the sexiest women alive all up on you seems to make me feel a teeny tiny bit better," giving a soft laugh I continued with the mindless patterns.

"I don't want to keep doing it though, it's bad for both of our healths. The constant worrying that the person might not make it this time. You only get lucky so many times," my voice was but a whisper at the end. "I just for once want to go a month without ending up being shot, stabbed or broken! Is that so much to ask for,"

"Well for us it is," he muttered into my hair that was still wet from the shower. "Are you hinting that you want to stop being a hero Char,"

"No, I'd never ask you to do that. This is your life and as much as I hate to say it some times I love this job and you do too. I just want to feel normal for a little while. No responsibilities, no world to save, just me and you living,"

"There's always going to be a world to save, but that doesn't mean you and I can't be normal," leaning up to give him a look he laughed. "Ok so were a little less then normal, so what," the conversation was lost after that as we both let out simultaneous yawns.

"I think it's time we went to sleep," I said starting to get up out of the hospital bed. "Let's go," tugging him up we walked to our room where I placed a few pillows around him so his arm wouldn't be hurt. Cuddling into his side I gave him a soft kiss goodnight before I shut my eyes willing sleep to come. Sadly though it didn't. I wasn't asleep when Dick was. I wasn't asleep at 3 am. I wasn't asleep when the sun came up.

My mind wandered so far in my head I'm not sure my train of thought could even find it. In one night I thought about everything to anything. It went from Kye to the joker to my kids. From how Dick and I were going to be as parents. Everything.

A stirring next to me signaled that Dick was waking up. As his eyes cracked open he smiled when I looked over at him.

"Good morning beautiful, how'd you sleep," not wanting to worry him I lied.

"Like a baby," hopefully the bags under my eyes didn't give me away and it seemed they didn't when he just smiled and kissed me.

"Good," no not good. Not good at all.
