"Sorry I'm late." Helena was already apologizing before she landed next to Barbara on top of the clock tower.
Barbara smiled. She wheeled to where their private table awaited just inside the clock tower. She lit the candles before looking back to her love. Their flickering flames danced in her green eyes as she assured her, "You're just on time." They'd had a harrowing night, and Barbara was determined that not even all the crooks in Gotham would keep her love and herself from celebrating their special day.
Helena smirked down at her as she leaned in for a kiss. "Yeah, right. I should've been back hours ago, but - "
Barbara silenced her sweetheart by placing a single finger upon her soft, full lips. "Alfred kept the food warm, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that we're here together again now. I'd stop the world, fight the world alongside you, or wait forever to get to melt with you."
Helena's eyes sparkled with mirth. "Sap," she teased in a soft whisper against Barbara's finger, but she didn't get a chance to say anything more as Barbara replaced her finger with her lips and a passionate kiss that proved her truth.
The End
