Chapter 7: I'm sorry Lucy

The next day Lucy couldn't wait to get to work. She wanted to question Bruce about how he ran away and left her. Lucy didn't bother telling Sara about what happened she didn't want people to feel sorry for her. Besides after what was about to happen the only person they were going to feel sorry for was Bruce. She went to work earlier than normal she wanted to be there before Bruce she wanted to be waiting in his office when he got there. The building was quite when Lucy got there, it was usually loud and filled with excitement. But today there w few people and they didn't seem to be in any kind of hurry like usual. Lucy spotted her co-worker and decided to ask her about it.


Lucy:"What's going on? Why is it so quite?"


Sara:"Wow you're early for a change."


Lucy:"Yeah I needed to talk to someone. Now what's going on?"


Usually when the building was quite it was for two reasons the first reason was someone was about to get ripped a new one and everyone knew except that person. That person was usually Lucy but she hadn't done anything to make Bruce mad...yet. The second was usually because Bruce was nursing a hangover. Guess its hard owning a company, and being a partying playboy.


Lucy:"Mr.Wayne isn't hungover is he?...Wait am I in trouble again?"


Sara chuckled a little then said.


Sara:"No he isn't here yet and I don't think you're in any kind of trouble."


Lucy:"Oh. Then?...."


Sara:"There was a standoff between that crazy Joker guy, his girlfriend and the cops last night."


Lucy:"Oh."


Sara:"But don't worry I heard Batman took his girlfriend back to Arkham...but Joker got away."


Lucy tought back to last night to what had happened. She remembered how brave she was and wanted to tell everyone what the "crybaby" Lucy did last night. But she didn't she just smiled a little to herself. Sara was finishing what she had started when Lucy tuned back in.


Sara:"So that's why it's so quite."


Lucy:"Sorry could you repeat that?"


Sara:"Ugh! You're so spacey sometimes. I'll start over."


Sara:"The streets are crowded with overturned police cars, and stuff so everyone had to take the long way around all the mess so everyone is going to be late."


Lucy:"And Mr.Wayne?"


Sara:"I don't know no ones heard from him yet. But everyone thinks you'll be the first one he contacts."


Lucy:"Me? Why?"


Sara:"Well you are his secretary."


Lucy:"Oh."


Sara:"But if you ask me, you treat him way too good."


Lucy:"What do you mean?"


Sara:"You do a lot for him but he never seems to notice."


Lucy:"I guess you're right."


Sara:"I know. Well I need to get back to work. Bye."


Lucy:"Bye."


They went their spent ways. Lucy went to her office and waited. About two hours later she was still waiting, everyone finally arrived and were working as hard as they usually did. 'Where are you Bruce???' It was noon now and still no Bruce. Every 10 minutes someone would come by Lucy's desk and asked if she had heard from Bruce yet but she hadn't. The work day was half way over and Lucy's anger subsided. Instead of being angry she was concerned about Bruce, why hadn't he called yet? Lucy was to worried to focus on her work so she decided to go and get Bruce herself. She was in so much of a hurry she wasn't even paying attention to where she was going. The elevator was just around the corner as she turned she bumped into something hard. This time she couldn't catch herself and she fell backwards. Lucy's face turned red with embarrassment then a hand appeared in front of her face and the man spoke.


???:"Are you alright?"


Taking his hand Lucy looked up at the man, noticing who it was.


Lucy:"Bruce?"


He was wearing sunglasses and looked like hell. He pulled Lucy onto her feet.


Bruce:"What?"


Lucy:"Are you okay?"


Bruce:"I'm fine, what about you?"


Lucy:"Oh um... yeah I'm fine."


He still made her nervous. Whenever she was around him she became extremely shy.


Burce:"Good. Now back to work."


He turned away and headed towards his office. As he reached for the knob he heard someone yell.


Lucy:"WAIT!"


He turned around to see Lucy hurrying towards him. Her voice surprised him, it made him stop dead in his tracks. He waited for Lucy to get closer. Her boldness interesting to him, after all this was the first time she rised her voice at Bruce Wayne. Batman had gotten a taste of it before, now it was Bruce Wayne's turn.


Lucy:"WHY ARE YOU SO LATE?! WHY ARE YOU WEARING SUNGLASSES INSIDE?! WHY..."


He wanted to stop her but she was already to far gone and nothing could stop her. He could tell she was livid and it kind of excited him. Crybaby Lucy was actually yelling at Bruce Wayne (her boss). Bruce was impressed with her new found convenience. So he let her finish.


Lucy:"AND WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!"


She took a deep breath and waited for his response.


Bruce:"Are you done?"


Lucy:"Yes...for now."


Bruce:"We couldn't get passed all the cop cars so I went to find a way around it but when I went back to the car you were gone. I thought you had gone home so I did the same."


Lucy:"Oh... so you were going to come back for me?


Bruce:"Of course I was. Were did you run off to?"


She was tempted to tell him about Batman. But she didn't.


Lucy:"I was looking for you, but I couldn't find you so I went home."


Bruce:"So everything worked out then."


He turned around and headed to his office. But Lucy grabbed his hand before he could take his first step. It took him by surprise, he looked at his hand and saw how much bigger it was then her's. That was the first time he truly noticed how small and fragile she was. She let go before it got too awkward.


Lucy:"I..I was really worried about you."


Bruce could see the concern in her eyes, he knew he was the one who put it there. And couldn't help but feel bad about it. He grabbed her by her shoulders and pulled her into a warm and comfortable embrace.


Bruce:"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you worry."


Lucy was shocked. 'Bruce Wayne is actually hugging me!' she didn't know what to do. So she hugged him back. And Bruce hugged harder.
