Just a one shot I thought of while listening to 'Goodbye to Romance' by Ozzy Osbourne and soaking in my bathtub. After recently watching TDKR Bane has become one of my favorite characters. I own nothing, and I realize these characters are OOC. Reviews are welcomed.

Just a Hot Bath:

Talia came in the door and had one thing on her mind, a hot bath. After fucking Bruce Wayne she wanted his smell, the feeling of his touches, everything to go away. She doubted they made water hot enough to burn away as much as she wanted it to. She walked down the hall, and went into her bedroom, grabbing some fresh clothes she made her way to the bathroom. What she found there made her giggle. Bane was sitting in her bathtub. His fur lined coat had been discarded on the floor along with the rest of his clothes on a small pile in the corner. His boots were paired up next to the sink. She stood in the doorway, leaning against the frame and let a silent laugh escape her throat. It looked like he had fallen asleep. His eyes were closed and his muscles were relaxed. One of his arms hung over the side of the deep tub, while the other was resting on the other side. His head was leaned back; he looked like a slumbering bear.

"Bane?"

She half whispered it; padding her way to the bathtub she placed her hand on his broad chest. His eyes instantly flew open.

"Hello Talia, how are you?" He sat up farther in the bathtub. He stretched himself a little, hearing a few cracks as he did it. The small amount of bubbles shifted and sloshed around in the steaming water.

"Bane what are you doing in my bathtub?" She asked. Although a hot bath is just what she wanted right now, and him being here was ruining that she couldn't keep the smile off her face. It looked so funny, some big brute in a deep old fashioned bathtub, complete with bubbles…

"I thought I'd surprise you, are you not happy I'm here?" He asked, raising one of his eyebrows.

She sat her clothes down on the sinks countertop, and looked at him.

"I suppose… Though I was in the mood for a hot bath. I guess I'm not going to get it."

There was a gleam of mischief in his eyes.

"You could always, join me….If you were so minded…" He let his words trail off.

She cocked her head to the side.

"Really? Is there even room in there for me?"

He tilted his head to the side as well imitating her. "Of course."

"No way, no chance." She turned her back to leave when a small wave of water hit her in the back and head, soaking the backside of her shirt and hair. When she turned back to him, he looked the other way, pretending to be interested in the decorative plant she had hanging near the window on the other side of the room.

She went back over to him, letting her hands rest on the side of the porcelain bathtub. She leaned near him; she stuck her hand in the water and lightly splashed him in the chest, so not to get his mask wet.

"I think I will join you." She whispered in his ear, planting a small kiss on the side of his head.

Forty five minutes later they still were laying in the bathtub, of course they had to add more hot water. He was actually very comfortable to lie on, and she was happy Bane decided to invite himself to her bathtub.

I really wasn't sure how I should have properly started this, if anyone has any ideas on how to make the beginning, or for that matter any of this story better let me know! Thanks for taking the time to read!
