Chapter 3


You got dressed in your black feathery dress and slipped on your black louboutin heels.

You touched up your makeup and did your hair and grabbed your birkin.

You waited for Bruce to finish changing.

Bruce came out in a black suit, as always. "Are you ready?" He asked.

You stood up from the couch and responded, "Mhm."

Alfred came in about 3 minutes later. "I'm sorry I can't come, I have a business meeting to attend to for Wayne Enterprises," he said.

"It's fine. No worries," you said giving him a warm smile.

You guys left, and got in Bruce's car.

Since your parents died in a 2 week span, you decided you'll hold a public memorial service for both of your parents.

You looked out the window, letting out a sigh. You felt a hand wrap around your hand and a peck on your head.

"Are you okay?" Bruce asked.

You shrugged. "I guess it just kind of all happened really quick," you said, continuing to look out the window.

"I'm sorry," he said. "It's not your fault," he reminded you.

As you guys arrive to the City Hall, you hear chants chanting 'No more lies' and people holding up signs with a question mark. A symbol of the riddler.

Bruce parked the car, and came around your side to open the door.

He opened the door and grabbed your hand to help you up from your seat.

People were shouting his and your names. You put on your sunglasses due to the paparazzi's flashing cameras. It helps with the blinding lights.

Hand in hand, you guys went up the steps and entered the City Hall.

Walking in, both of you guys noticed armed officers up on the balcony, waiting to attack to any terrorists.

You both went to sit down on the chairs closer to the caskets.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming to today's memorial for our beloved mayor, Bradford Collymore, and his wife, Chanel Collymore. Our program will begin shortly. As a reminder, the family asked that those wishing to honor the mayor and his wife's memory, consider a donation to the cause most dear to his heart...the Gotham Renewal Fund, our city's safety new," the speaker from announced.

Many more people came up to the caskets to pay their respects and people coming up to you as well.

Minutes later, screams from people were heard outside. You got up from your chair and turned around where the doors were.

Tires squealed and a loud bang was heard. Many people, including you, were confused on the noises that could be heard.

You took a step further to see what was going on. Bruce looked behind at you for a second and turned back around.

A car bursted through and Bruce rushed over to you to pull you out of the way, making both of you fall to the ground.

Groaning, you put your hand to your head. "Are you okay?" Bruce asked examining you. "Yes i'm fine, I just hit my head that's all," you said as he helped you up.

Officers rushed over to the car, guns aimed for the driver in it.

"Get out of the car! Get out of the car and show your hands!" Detective Gordon shouted getting closer to the car.

"Get out!"

The door slowly opened, revealing a familiar man. Then and there you just remembered. Gil Colson, he was apart of the D.A.

"Get 'em up!"

Shouting again, "Get out! Show 'em!"

Gil got out, putting his hands up.

"There's a bomb around his neck!" An officer shouted out.

Bruce moved you right behind him, shielding you from the bomb.

A cellphone came ringing from him, making everyone gasp and get down.

"Let's get this place cleared out now!"

Bruce turned to look out you, even though you already knew what he was going to do.

"Bruce no! It's not safe!" You whispered to him.

"Get yourself to the manor, ill give you my car keys. You can drive," he quickly said.

"Bruce, just, please be careful," you said. "I promise, i'll try," he said giving you a kiss.

"I love you, just please stay safe," you said grabbing your purse. "And I love you too," he said giving you one more kiss.

You left to go and get in his car and drove back to the manor.

You parked his car and grabbed your purse and rushed over to the front door. You pulled out the keys Alfred gave you and opened the door.

"Y/n you're back, where's Bruce?" Alfred asked going towards you. "Gil Colson, he crashed into the city hall, supposedly it has something to do with the riddler," you said closing the door behind you.

"Oh. Here I'll make some tea for you," he said going into the kitchen.

You sat on the couch and buried your head into your hands.

You had many questions going on in your head. But one specific one.

What the heck just happened?

"Y/n, your teas done," Alfred said coming in the living room, making your head pop up.

"Thank you Alfred," you said.

"Of course," he said setting it down on the coffee table and leaving.

You sipped your tea and turned on the TV. You flipped the channel to the news to see if there was any updates on the City Hall.

Before you could sent down the controller, there was an explosion sound on TV.

"Oh my goodness.."

Getting up from the couch, you walked closer to the TV.

"Please be okay," you said, having hope that Bruce might not be hurt.

You finished your shower and put on your navy blue silky nightgown. You brushed your hair out and got in bed.

You scrolled on your phone, seeing if there's
anymore updates from Bruce.

You turned off your phone and went to bed, seeing that there was none.

You woke up in the middle of the night, hearing an explosive sound.

You immediately got out of bed and went to the living room from where it came from.

"Alfred!" You and Dory ran over to him, seeing the burns on his face and cuts. Unfortunately, he was also unconscious. "Let me call 911," Dory said running over to the phone.

Finishing the call, she hung up but then answered another call. "Ms Y/n, it's Bruce," you looked up and went over to the phone.

"Bruce?" You asked. "Y/n, are you hurt?" Bruce asked. "No i'm fine," you said looking towards Dory.

"Does he know?" You whispered to Dory. She nodded.

"Please, just wait for me there. I'll be home soon," he said. "Okay," you said hanging up.

Without a doubt, Bruce knew there were going to be firefighters and police swarming the house. So, he made sure he wouldn't show up in his batman costume.

He bursted through the front door, many police went over to him, telling him what had happened.

After he was done getting informed, he looked for you. You were seen in the living room, getting questioned.

"Will he be okay?" You asked the officer.

"Just some burns and cuts, but yes he'll be fine," she said getting up as you nodded.

"Y/n," Bruce said coming over to you. You got up and went over to him

He embraced you in a hug. "Are you hurt? I saw what happened at the City Hall," you asked pulling away from him.

"I'm okay. I'm just glad your not hurt," he said giving you another hug.

Moments later, you both pulled away.

"Im going to go and get some clothes on," you said going to Bruce's room. He nodded as you left.

You put on a black long sleeve turtleneck with black tweed shorts. You grabbed a matching black tweed jacket and slipped on your Prada loafers.

You grabbed your birkin and got in the car, Bruce already in the car waiting for you.

"Sorry I took awhile," you said buckling up. "It's fine," he said grabbing your hand as you guys drove to the Hospital.

You guys arrived and asked the receptionist for Alfred's room number.

You guys got told not to go in, so you guys watched him from a window.

A nurse left his room and went over to you and Bruce. "We've sedated him. We just have to hope he stabilizes," the nurse said.

You looked over to her, Bruce doing the exact same.

"You should go home, Ms. Collymore and Mr. Wayne. Get some sleep," she suggested.

You and Bruce looked back over to Alfred. The nurse
was right, hopefully he does stabilize.

"Is there anyone else to notify? Next of kin?" She asked.

"No. It's just us," he replied.
