"Bruce?" My voice cracks and I start to shake.
"Chrissy." Bat- I mean Bruce says in his normal voice, no longer using his rough Batman voice.
"Bruce Wayne, the billion dollar playboy, is Gotham's beacon of hope, the dark knight, Batman." I say nodding my head. Bruce stiffs a chuckle.
"The hero and the villain, fall in love without knowing who they are at night." Bruce says smiling softly. I look up at him and bust into laugher. I feel my hip hurt while I laugh and tears come to my eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm so stressed that I just-" I start.
"No I get it, finding out that Joker was going to kill you, your boyfriend is really Batman, and you were paid to kill me." Bruce says smiling. I suddenly stop smiling and frown as the colour from me drains away.
"I was supposed to kill you." I say in a low whisper. "Oh my god..." Now I started to panic. "I had to kill you!" I raise my voice and Bruce gets on his knees like me and holds my shoulders.
"You didn't know it was me. Don't beat yourself up, we never knew about..." He points at himself then me. "this!" I pull him into a hug but pull away from my hip.
"We should get you stitched up." Bruce says standing up. He puts his hand out for me to take but I fall while trying to get up. I feel my head spin and and Bruce holds me while the world goes black.

I feel a drop of water fall on my nose, I wiggle my nose in annoyance. I feel a cold breeze rush into my body. I flutter my eyes open and I'm consumed by darkness. Like a cave. I'm lying on a cot and there are lights, I can hear footsteps walking around. I sit up but let out a groan as I feel my hip tighten.
"You may want to take it easy." I look to my left and see Alfred with a trey pull of medical supplies. I look down at my hip and see white cloth covering my whole hip, I lift it up and see several stitches covering my gun wound.
"Alfred..." I say breathless.
"No need to thank me Miss James. Thank Master Wayne for getting you here when he did. We almost lost you there for a minute." I let out a shaky sigh and slowly sit up on the cot. Then I see the man of the hour.
"Thank you Alfred, could you get some food and tea ready. me and Chrissy have a lot to talk about." Bruce says sternly. Alfred nods and walks away. Bruce is still wearing his Batman outfit but without his mask covering his face.
"So what is this? Wayne Cave, black cave?"
"The Bat Cave." Bruce says and I nod my head. It's quiet now, all you can hear is water dripping from the top of the cave while is pools up in the middle where a tiny pond has formed.
"So Blue Jay? Why?" Bruce asks breaking the silence.
I sigh and explain everything to him, me and Luke trying to help but failing once the police killed him I ran to Gotham to blow some steam but ran into the Joker, and everything took off.
"I see." Is all Bruce said.
"Are you going to turn me in?" I ask feeling shy, like a child waiting to be punished.
Bruce turns away and puts his hand through his hair, letting out a sigh. "I don't want to, but the Joker knows who you are. Your not safe on your own."
"What are you implying?"
"I'm implying that you stay here with me in Wayne manor and Blue Jay becomes good." Bruce says kneeling down as I still sit on the cot.
"I don't know, the police almost killed me last time. I'm afraid."
"Chrissy I know it's hard. Trust me I know. But if you stay with me and in my sight you will be alright. I will personally make sure no harm comes to you. I love you Chrissy. I can't lose you." Bruce says taking my hands.
I smile weakly and kiss his forehead.
"I love you too." I pause and think. "I don't know what I'm getting myself into, but I can't lose you. I'm terrified of the future now." I say lowering my head.
"The past is your business, the present is for us to keep and we can control the future." Bruce says looking in my eyes.
"Okay, I'll try my best. But stop me if I get out of control." I say pointing at him. Bruce smiles and kisses me on the lips and stands up. He gives me a hand standing up and I follow him as he takes his armour off.
"I have a question." Bruce asks removing his chest plate.
"Shoot."
"When I had that dinner at the hotel, the one that Blue Jay crashed, why did you do it?" Bruce asks as he stops what he's doing.
I feel heat rise in my cheeks. "I- I don't k-know, I u-uhh."
"You were jealous, weren't you?" Bruce asks smirking. I shake my head and he laughs, he continues to take off his suit.
"Well if you asked a question then I have one too."
"Okay." Bruce says hanging up his armour.
"How did you know where the warehouse was? How'd you find me?" I ask my voice growing low. Bruce sighs and finishes before turning to me.
"After I found your note I went looking for you. As Batman. And I found the Joker and Blue Jay in the same warehouse. So I thought maybe the Joker or Blue Jay had taken you." Bruce says and I can't help but laugh.
"Little did you know." I say and he nods.
"And I just thought you were a one night stand kind of women!" Bruce says walking away. I drop my jaw and walk after him.
"Well I'm sorry dark knight, I was saving my ass and trying to keep yours out of the fire!" I say with a hint of sarcasm.
"I could have handled it Birdie."
"My name is not Birdie!" I yell after him.
