Broken Memory, and Making Up

Regret. Oh boy, regret is hitting me hard now. I kick a police officer and watch a robber run off into the night. I sigh and start to climb the side of a building, leaving the unconscious officer behind. I stand on top of the building and watch over the city. I feel horrible for what I did not some reason. I know what I did will be in the papers tomorrow. I would walk into work and see me as BJ with Bruce everywhere, and Alice would flip. Crap... Alice. I groan in frustration at the mess I've made. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear gun shots from a few streets over. I jump off the building and glide to a nearby building from where the shots came from. I stand near the edge and see men with clown masks on. The Joker. I watch as they break into the Gotham bank and watch for Batman. I do my usual and stand guard. For the first time ever they get away from the crime scene with no trouble and head back to the warehouse. I make my way back to my apartment when I'm suddenly pushed off a building by an unknown force. I fall to the ground, being about 6 floors up. I lay on my back, breathless as Batman jumps down.
"What was that for?" I ask standing up, feeling my back crack.
"You crashed a party." He says with his voice giving me goosebumps.
"Yeah, Bruce Wayne's stupid party. It was just to pass the time." I say glaring at him. There's a moment of silence.
"I'm supposed to kill you."
"I know." He says not losing eyes contact.
"And your not gonna do anything?"
"I don't have to." He says. I nod my head a smirk under my mask.
"What do you want?" I ask. He looks away from me than starts to walk forward. He doesn't stop and forcefully grabs my arm.
"Stop causing trouble." He says in a low growl, his face is only a few inches away from mine.
"Your not my mother." I say growling back. He lets me go and stands back. I move my weight on one foot than look at him. His dark eyes are burning through my skin, his looks could kill.
"Why do you care so much?" I ask and he turns around. I sigh in frustration and stand in front of him.
"I don't need someone like you making a mess of Gotham." Batman's gaze falls onto mine.
"You remind me of someone." I say putting a hand on my hip, Batman looks at me for an answer.
"I can't put my finger on it." I tap my foot on my boot and I stare into his eyes. He looks into mine and we gaze at each other for a moment.


I feel something in me, like, butterflies. I haven't had this feeling in a long time, besides with Bruce. My mind goes back to a younger me, and a younger him.


"Luke..." I whisper as I look away from Batman. I feel tears prick my eyes and start to blur my vision. I start to panic and Batman just stares on. My breathing gets rough and I feel angry. At people like Batman. I quickly kick Batman and he falls back with a thud, clearly surprised by my sudden action. I turn and jump off the building as tears fall down my face. What am I doing? Why have I gone so far?


"Your an idiot!" I yell laughing as Luke leans over me a little. I look up at him as the moonlight shines on his face. He looks at me and I turn away blushing.
"So, you wanna go out tonight?" He asks smirking a little.
"Sure, let's cause some justice."


I blink a few times trying to push my tears back and stare at my hands.
"Chrissy, are you alright?" Alice asks as she turns around from talking with one of our coworkers. I shake my head and look up her a give a weak smile.
"Yeah, just tired. I had a rough night." I say moving closer to my desk looking at copies of this weeks paper. There's a fresh new article added. About me, crashing Bruce's party. I feel my heart drop into my stomach and I rub my eyes feeling like an idiot. At least no one knows it's actually me as Blue Jay. I was lost in worrying that I didn't notice that the office had gotten quite and peoples heads were looking at the front of the office. I glance at Alice as she looks at me and nods her head towards the front of the office. I follow everyone's gaze and my heart stops.


Bruce's eyes are scanning the office, everyone is watching. His eyes land on me, his gaze is strong but worried, and for some reason, I feel like I've seen the same gaze before, I've had the same feeling before. Bruce lifts his head up and smiles a little. He then turns away and starts to walk out the door. Everyone is now whispering to each other, I glance at Alice who looks just as confused as I do. I look back at the door and see Bruce turn the corner and disappear from view. I grab my coat and purse and run full speed out the office and turn the corner. I can hear people yelling at me, I continue to run and accidentally slam into someone with a pile of papers, making them go everywhere. I mumbled a sorry and see Bruce going into the elevator. I run and the doors start to close and I slip in just in time.
"There's nothing like a good work out, to wake you up." Bruce says, I noticed that I'm not sweating or out of breath.
"Really though." I say with a smile. The ride is silent, no until Bruce pushes me into the wall, kissing me. And I kiss back.
