It was just another night for the Batman, protecting defenseless bystanders from shameless crooks. The moon hung full, large, and bright in the dark night sky bringing an odd ominous feeling. Something is going to happen tonight, he thought, taking in the people walking the streets below him. Everything seemed fine.
That is until he noticed the two shady men walking toward a closed jewelry store. It was opened just recently and had been all over the news.
Across the street, a woman noticed the two somehow manage to get in and smiled to herself as she seemed to disappear into thin air.
Batman followed the two men into the shop and stayed in the shadows as he watched them look through the glass cases for anything of interest.
"Hey, Carl, do you think Mandy would like this ring or that pearl necklace over there?" The taller one of the two asked.
"I don't know, Vince," Carl answered as he stared at a Cartier watch across the room.
"I can help you decide," a female voice seemed to appear out of nowhere. "Personally I'd want both."
The thieves' eyes widened as they whipped their head around, trying in vain to find the source of the voice.
"But on the other hand, it would probably be better to just bring her one just so she doesn't get suspicious," the voice continued seeming amused at their attempts to find her. "Unless she's in on this too and just didn't have the guts to come."
"Where are you?" Vince yelled, trying to seem brave.
The woman laughed. "Once you've found the Batman you've found me."
Bruce had been filled with shock from the moment he'd first heard the woman speak. She sounded like she was playing with all of them. When she said that once they'd found the Batman, they'd find her, he knew exactly where she was. He looked up.
She was sitting on one of the beams casually blending in with the shadows like he was. She glanced down at him and met his gaze. She smirked. He doesn't know me, she thought. Yet.
The two men began to panic. "The Batman's here?" Carl cried.
"I told you we shouldn't have done this!"
Finally, Batman stepped out of the shadows.
"Aww, why'd you have to do that, Bats?" The woman called before he heard her jump down to the spot where he'd been standing before.
He couldn't help it. He looked back. What he found was a woman in a skintight jumpsuit covering almost every inch of her body except for a bit of her chest and the lower half of her face. Her hair was long and black. The top half of her face was covered by a mask. Her lips were covered in black lipstick and her skin seemed to have been painted white. Or maybe it was just makeup. Batman couldn't really tell. He was too distracted by her bright green eyes.
While her lips were curved in some strange kind of smile that showed no signs of faltering. Her acid like green eyes were filled with a strange hatred that made even Batman want to take a step back. They didn't seem to be pointing the hate at anyone in particular, they just seemed to hate anything and everyone.
She walked slowly toward him seeming to know her effect on him and stopped only when she was barely an inch away from him. "What do you say to getting rid of these guys and going for a drink somewhere later, handsome?" She drawled, staring him straight in the eyes.
"I don't know if going out for a drink with you would be such a good idea."
"Why not?" She pouted.
"Well, for one, I don't even know your name."
"It's Desiree," she grinned. "Can you guess why?"
"I'd rather not," Batman couldn't help the grin that was tugging at his lips.
"You're no fun," she pouted before turning to the two men standing there in shock. "What are you goons still doing here? Too stupid to even try to run?"
They seemed to snap to their senses then and nearly tripped over their own two feet trying to make it to the door.
Desiree laughed gleefully before opening her mouth and beginning to sing:
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
She sang the chorus twice before stopping at glancing at the three men before her. They were all under her spell.
She smirked to herself as she walked over to the Batman. He watched her, transfixed by her beauty. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she placed her head on his chest, breathing in his manly scent. She thought briefly about removing his mask but, in the end, decided against it. She did like a little mystery in a man.
She lifted her head from his chest and leaned in to kiss him. At first, it was just a brush of her lips against his, but, as expected he pulled her in for a deeper, more passionate kiss. She laughed a bit as she kissed him. "Who knew you were such a Casanova?"
That did it. He snapped out of it and all but threw her across the room. He turned to look for the other two men and found them in exactly the same position he'd been in only moments ago. He tied them up before turning around to look at the spot where Desiree had been not too long ago. She was gone.
When the police had arrived and Batman was back on the rooftop where he'd been previously, he remembered the kiss that they'd shared and it seemed to take over his thoughts. Her voice. . . Her lips. . . Her laugh. . .
Batman shifted a little uncomfortably under his cape as he felt his arousal.
He thought he could still hear her voice continue singing from not too far away.
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
I know I could've named her the Siren but for some reason I went with this. Tell me if you think I should continue this or leave it as a oneshot. PLEASE REVIEW! Thank you for reading!
