Sequel to 'The Enemy'. I wanted to get this out so you wouldn't have to wait so long for the first chapter at least!

Chapter 1
"This heat is obnoxious" I said as we walked down a gravel road in the middle of no where.
"Complaining will not make it stop.." Bane said, stopping and waiting for me to catch up.
"I know..how much further?"
"Another mile and a half..."
I groaned. We were somewhere...undisclosed. I wasn't allowed to know. I looked around and it didn't look like mexico and the signs I did see earlier were in english.
I had already tried to get him to tell me what he could. He was bringing me to our new home. It was undisclosed to me for my safety. He said he'd tell me eventually because I would have to walk into the nearest town for supplies every now and again.
"Mostly...we are going to be self-sustained. I installed solar panels on the roof..as well as a battery operated generator. There is running water as well "
"so the solar panels power all the electricity?"
"Yes..the lights mostly. The stove is gas powered and the heating is well..a fireplace."
"Great...so it gets cold here?" I smiled
I saw him smirk, he knew I was trying to get info from him.
"I tried to make it as comfortable as possible for you...us" he said, correcting him self at the end
"Did you install everything?"
"Just the solar paneling. Everything else just needed some minor work and I hired a man to do that..."
"Can you trust him?"
"Basard? of course..."
"Oh Basard.."
I had met Basard when we returned to Gotham, after Bane found me in the rest stop.
We walked for what seemed like hours and we went off the trail into the woods.
"Okay...this fence goes all the way around the property. We are far enough off into the woods, people can't see the fence from the trail but people never come out here" Bane said as we reached a fence. There was a lock on it. I noticed the fence was about as high as Bane and had barbed wire at the top.
"I do have security cameras installed as well.." He said unlocking the gate. We went in and locked it behind us.
"So the solar power is reliable enough for that?"
"Yes. I tested it out for a few weeks. The generator is in case of emergencies. There is an Emergency cell phone in case you get hurt in some way and in which case you call the one number in there and someone will be out to get you..."
I nodded.
"Lots of precautions.."
"They are needed" He said stopping to look at me, seriousness lacing his tone.
"I know..you've told me. I am sure I will be grateful for them later when a bear is trying to maul me."
He laughed.
We finally reached cabin. I had expected a run down and dilapidated cabin but it was actually really nice looking. It was painted a green to blend in with the trees. I saw the solar panels lining the roof. It was a small two-story. Off on the side was a small garden, ready to be planted in. on the other side was a stack of wood. We went up the steps onto the porch. He unlocked the door. Inside was just as beautiful. It was decorated beautifully. there was a small living room with a couch and a chair surrounded by a fireplace. there was a corner of shelves lined with my books. I looked around to the kitchen. there was a nice stove and a small table sat in the middle of the kitchen. There was a small bathroom under the stairs. Up the stairs I assumed was the bedroom and full-sized bathroom.
I climbed the stairs and there was small landing. I opened the first door and I was met with a large bedroom. I knew the other doors on the landing must be a closet and the main bathroom with how big the bedroom was. The bed was pressed up against the large window. there was a small desk in the corner of the room with a computer on it and a book shelf right next to the desk.
I heard his footsteps come up the stairs behind me.
"Go take a look at the bathroom" he smirked, leaning against the door frame.
I laughed and slid past him and opened the door to the left.
"That is a massive tub..."
"I had it brought in...I know how you like your big bathtubs"
"I do...but I like it even more when you can join me" I grinned, grabbing his hand and pulling him close to me.
He laughed and pressed his lips to mine.
"Later...there is much to go over. Let's get settled in" He said. I walked ahead of him. I felt his hand smack my ass.
I laughed as I went downstairs.

He cracked open the window in the kitchen as I stirred the pasta sauce. There was a lot of non perishables stocked in the cellar. which I knew would be handy when I couldn't kill my own animals or harvest fruit and vegetables. The cellar door was well hidden, it was under the kitchen table.
"I will show you tomorrow where the proper trails for hunting are as well as the lake for fishing"
"You've really out done your self..." I said turning around to face him.
"I feel like I should take offense...I thought you loved the tree house we stayed in..."
"Trapped in...I was trapped in for over 2 weeks..." I laughed
He rolled his eyes. We had traveled together over 4 months. I had stayed at his side the majority of the time but he was going to be going over seas soon and the jobs he was doing were going to be much more dangerous than just the average, take out the target and then leave, like he was used to. Mostly while he was away doing his work I would work on my training. Basard would be with us a few times helping me train. I liked it better when Bane and I were alone, he was more open with me. He had said in so little words that he did love me after a few days of reuniting. I think it was the first time he had been so attached to someone. He had yet to actually say the words. I had said it to him as often as I could. He would always just smile and kiss me when I said it, but I could see in his eyes where his heart was.
He closed the gap between us. I brought my hands up onto his shoulders and into his hair. He had let his hair grow out. It was not that long yet...but I enjoyed running my hands through it. He let his stubble grow out as well.
"What are you thinking?" He asked, noticing my eyes spacing out.
"Nothing just thinking about how I like your hair" I smiled.
He leaned down and kissed me.
"Let's eat and then we can enjoy the fire..and maybe the bathtub" He grinned.
