Very short one shot between our two favorite birds, the beginning to a series of unrelated one shots, Dedicated to Alena-chan and Emaniahilel. Alena because when I told her I wasn't sure about posting something so short she said why not post it in a series of one shots...she is a genius lol and dedicated to Emania because her writing is one of the things that inspires me and she constantly answers all my little annoying questions (besides she has her 'moments' series and other one shot series that gave me the courage to do this) SO to the two of the kindest and dearest people I know online, I hope I don't disappoint you :) If you haven't read anything by these two authors...go find them, they are both in my favorites. :)
Disclaimer: If I owned them, you think I would have time to be here? uh nope I would be somewhere drooling over one of my heroes (embarrassing but true)
"I think I made you up inside my head." Her voice shook a little, out of character for her.
"What do you mean?" He was careful not to look at her and gazed solemnly out over the rooftop to the city that they protected.
She sighed, her face turned out just as his was, but her eyes were glazed as she remembered incidents in their past where he had gone above and beyond friendship to save her.
"I wonder some times if a real person would have gone through hell for me, or even believed I was worth saving after what I did."
"You did nothing but what you thought you had to and you gave us the ability to fight back." He finally turned to look at her, her short hair was mussed by the breeze and her pale cheeks were pinked by the cold that spoke of winter. "Don't disparage yourself, or me. I am real, I always have been." He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her to him, lifting her chin and forcing her to meet his unmasked eyes. "And I love you, which is real as well."
"I don't doubt that." She looked at him, "Everything else maybe, the reality of you, yes, but the fact that you love me and I love you, that I can't doubt." She gave him one of her trademark smirks. "It's one of those inalienable facts none of us can escape from."
"I never wanted to escape." He leaned forward and laid a kiss on her forehead and then tucked her beneath his chin, he was used to these discussions with her, and she was one who had difficulty when good things happened. "Well hardly ever." He smirked as she poked him in the ribs for his joke.
