Different Worlds? / Batman x Reader (Under Editing)

New Me

It had been almost 6 months since the incident that changed my life, I know nothing happened but just thinking about how close I was and how my training couldn't do anything for me at that moment, I just imagined the millions of other women and men without training that have gone through similar situations and who sadly might have been taken advantage off by despicable people. This just made me want to train myself harder and push myself over past limits so I could help people in Gotham City against evil doers. This was no longer about me but about what I was capable to do with what I had been learning. I am completely different person now, I don't know if its for the better or for the worse. Honestly I don't give a fuck.

Bruce in the other hand, had disagreed with me on it all. Yes, I had been living at the manor, but only because I honestly still couldn't be by myself. Every-time I was by myself everything came flooding back and I was filled with rage and felt so powerless. Bruce and I were still not together, I barely spoke to him at all, all of this time. I don't know how he allowed me to stay in his house without even having contact with him, I was grateful I guess...  Relationships were not my concern right now.

4:30 am

I had just woken up and it was time I went to train in the bat cave usually tried going before Bruce but he always spent the night in the cave doing research. He barely slept at all, it was hard to avoid him but I still managed.

I went straight to the kitchen before Alfred woke up to get some protein bars and breakfast.

I was confidently walking into the kitchen thinking nobody was going to be there, as soon as I reached the pantry all the lights in the kitchen turned on.

"Y/N we need to talk." Bruce said sitting next to Alfred in the kitchen table having some coffee.

"About?" I said 

"How you have been acting since that day, its unacceptable, this is not who you are. You completely changed."

"Acting like what? Less naive, Less stupid? Bruce I am no longer going to let people run over me. I am going to train and help those people who are like I was. I am no longer weak."

"Caring is not being weak Miss.Musk." Alfred said chiming in.

"Alfred is right Y/N, you are on the hunt for revenge and are being lead on by anger and pain. It is unacceptable, and if you continue to act like this I can't allow you to wear cape and cowl, at least not part of the bat family. I am giving you one more chance to stop acting like this."

"You giving me a chance? Alright whatever. Im going to go train. Thanks I guess." I said sarcastically.

Bruce POV:

I don't know what to do, Y/N has not been acting like herself and the confrontation didn't go the way I expected. Honestly, she doesn't even seem like the same person but I should know better than anyone else how it feels to be in pain and anger and not knowing how to properly express myself. This happened to me when my parents died and I had a insatiable thirst for revenge on the guy who did it. Even though Y/N didn't go through something similar I know that she is feeling something similar, and feeling powerless does affect ones mental health.

"Alfred I don't know what to do, I have tried talking to her multiple times, she brushes me off. She is being sarcastic and not taking my words seriously. I honestly don't know how I can get through to her."

"Sir, you have gone through similar situations in the past and the only one who was able of getting you back in the right path was yourself, so just give her some time and she will react and come back to us."

"You're right, I guess I'll try to play along into some of her craziness, but im going to try my best to stop her from doing something she will regret later."

I walked to the entrance of the bat cave, there she was leaping and jumping. Throwing batarangs at targets and doing every exercise in the book. She looked so determined to do whatever she was thinking about doing that it scared me. I knew that trying to talk to her was going to get me nowhere so I just walked past her and sat down in front of the computer and concentrated on tonight's patrol. Secretly, I was still trying to hunt down the guys that tried to abuse her, I was making sure I got to them before she did. I was afraid she was going to try and get her revenge by killing them or worse resorting to torture and the assassin way.

Y/N POV:

I can't freaking get the whole throwing technique right, I have been trying for days. I really needed some help but I don't know if asking Bruce was going to be the best decision. I mean I could use it as a way to learn faster I guess. I don't have to think so deep about it.

"Bruce." I said looking at him sitting in his computer looking lost at all the information he had up on the screen.

"Ye-Yes?" Bruce said standing up rapidly from the chair.

"Can you show me how to properly throw this at an angle I would appreciate it." I said handing over the batarang.

Bruce started showing me how to throw properly, at first it was going well. Then he decided to bring up the elephant in the room again.

"Bruce, I appreciate you helping me with this but stop honestly stop. I know what i'm doing and I don't need your advice or help."

"I really hope you do know. By the way, we are leaving in 20 min. We have to go do recon by the docks. I got a tip that there's suspicious movement down there."

"Alright, I'll suit up." I said getting my suit from the closet down in the batcave. I was feeling a little too bold and decided to get dressed right there and then in front of Bruce. I just wanted to make him feel a little uncomfortable.

From the corner of my eye I could see he was glancing this way trying to be discrete.

"Can you not do that please?" Bruce said turning his chair away from where I was changing.

"My bad, thought you wouldn't mind since you have seen it before." I said trying to sound indifferent.

"It might be fun for you Y/N, but I don't find your childish behavior a slight bit funny. Now hurry up."

"Alright Bruce, whatever you say. Let's go then."

Bruce started heading to the batmobile, and I followed.

"Is it only the two of us?" I said.

"Yes, the others have college duties. Tim is studying for finals and Dick is away with Barbara on a research trip."

"Great" I said as I awkwardly got in the passenger seat of the car.

"So you follow me and help me with the surveillance, we are just there to get information we are not going in. No matter what." Bruce said.

"Uuuh Alright? Why are you being so weird about it. Its not like its my first time."

"Just listen to me this time please."

"Whatever you say boss." I said while scrolling through my instagram. Yes, Im on my phone while riding the batmobile it just isn't as exciting as before.
