Chapter 7

2nd POV:

"If we don't close the doors we're gonna have-"

Detective Gordon came through the curtains to where you and other officers were talking. "MCU," Gordon said cutting off the other officer's sentence.

"-huge problems," the officer finished his sentence. "The water has already started to breach," another officer said. "I thought this was a shelter of last resort?" You asked. "Yeah, for a hurricane, but not if the whole sea wall comes down."

"I am not going to let those people die out there. All right. I'll go calm down the crowd so we can get everyone in," you said. "It's not safe for you here," Gordon said speaking up. "We need to get you out, Ms. Collymore," he said.

"I'm not going anywhere." You stated. "We're under attack ma'am," Gordon said pleading. "Exactly! That's the problem with this city. Everyone's afraid to stand up and do the right thing, but i'm not. Excuse me," you said going out on stage.

"Ma'am..."

You went to the stand and grabbed the microphone. "Everyone, everyone if I could just get your attention. Please! I just need your attention!" Your eyes followed up to the balcony above you. There stood two men in mask with a rifle pointed at you.

You gasped, stepping back. Before you knew it, a bullet came to your stomach, making people scream in terror, afraid to get hit next. You fell onto the floor, Gordon rushing over to cover you.

Gordon dragged you off stage while covering you. Gunshots continuously were heard and bullets aiming for you. "You're okay!" He grabbed out his gun to shoot for the shooter, but was met at continuous gunshots meeting the roof.

The roof bursted, and from the corner of the eye, you saw Bruce in his suit fall from the roof. You grunted as you tried to get a better look. Firefighters came rushing to you with a first aid kit. Gordon got up from where you were laid at to see what was going on.

Moments later, the lights in the Garden Square went out. You looked around, to see what was going on. You heard glass shattering as water bursted through, wiping out chairs that were neatly placed. You looked up to see water come above you and the stage.

"Ma'am i'm going to take you with me," a firefighter said picking you up since you weren't able to walk due to the bullet. Electricity bolted throughout the Square from the wires. Looking around, you saw Bruce grand ahold of a wire. He grabbed something from his chest, what you assumed his bat symbol on his suit, and cut the wire.

Your jaw slightly dropped as you watched him fall into the water. Gasping for air, he arose from the water. "Oh thank goodness," you mumbled. "Hm?" The firefighter asked you. You heard a car creak, and a police car fell right beside you and the firefighter.

Railings from the stage fell this time on top of you and the firefighter. If you peaked over the railing, you saw a red light coming towards you and the firefighters way.

You saw Bruce with a red torch held in his hand as he walks over. He grabbed the railing and pushed it aside, revealing you and the officer. He held out his hand to you for you to grab it.

3rd POV:

"She's shot sir," the officer said. Bruce clenched his jaw, noticing the red stain where Y/n's stomach was on her dress. He carefully grabbed Y/n from the firefighter and sat her on the railing till he got others out.

He carried her and lead others to the exit of the Square as people trailed behind him. They neared the exit, careful to not step on any glass from the doors shattering earlier.

Firefighters and officers began to lead people out. Gordon came up to Bruce. "Well, that was a lot. You may want to take Ms. Collymore to Bruce Wayne's house. I'm sure he will take her to the hospital when he finds out." Bruce nodded and headed towards thats direction.

As they got father away and away from the officer and firefighters view, Bruce takes off his mask. "Does it hurt badly?" He asked as he continues carrying Y/n towards the car since his car is underwater from the flood.

"Just a little," she said. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you from the bullet. When you got shot, I now arrived at the Square," he said looking down at her. "It's fine. It kind of just happened fast," she said pecking him on the lips.

They arrived to the manor and Bruce immediately went to go get stitches, tweezers, and thread. He lifted up her top and revealed a bloody wound. "This is going to hurt," he said grabbing the tweezers. He pulled out the bullet, making Y/n groan due to the pain.

"Sorry." He stitched up the wound after getting the bullet. He carried Y/n and took her to his room. "You should get some rest," he said laying her down on the bed and tucking her. "Okay," she said adjusting herself. He got on the opposite side of her, tucking himself too.

He kissed her on the cheek, and they both drifted to sleep.
