Stories of Gotham

Hello! I have a story for you guys! This is about my second favorite couple made by DC Comics. My first is BBRae (Beast Boy and Raven) and my second favorite is BatCat (Batman and Catwoman). This will be just a couple of stories that I have no idea what most of them are going to be about but once I get an idea I will write it. This is my first one. It is Thomas and Martha Wayne's death anniversary. Bruce Wayne is feeling down and very depressed. He blames himself for their death. Alfred and Catwoman Aka. Selina Kyle are there to comfort him. Yes, there will be hugs because you can't have a hurt/comfort fan fiction without hugs! So here you are. Stories of Gotham. Enjoy.

It was midnight and a stair creaked. Bruce Wayne had just got home from patrols. A quiet night. A bank robbery and a drug deal. Simple tasks for the Batman. If it was a bad night he would get home a two in the morning earliest. Tonight was a good night. Except for one thing. Today marked the day Thomas and Martha Wayne had died in that alley.

It was midnight and Selina Kyle had just got home from scouting for something to "borrow". It had been a good day. She had found a beautiful cat pendant that she wanted to steal. She had also found out some interesting information. There was a rumor that tonight Batman would go all out on any criminal that broke the law. "That must be why I didn't see as many crimes as usual," Selina thought as she fed her cat Isis.

It was midnight as Alfred heard a stair creak and he quickly got out of bed to greet Master Bruce as he came up the stairs to the second floor. "Quiet night tonight Master Bruce," Alfred asked. Master Bruce just nodded. "Get to bed sir. I will take care of the rest," Alfred said with a gentle but firm voice. Master Bruce nodded as he headed towards his room.

Bruce walked into his room and quickly changed. He went under the covers and stared at the ceiling thinking about the night. He had a relatively quiet night which surprised him. This was the season where most of the crime happened all at once and he had to deal with only minor crimes. He had picked up some very interesting information while dealing with the bank robbery. One of the robbers; the scrawny looking one of the two had said something that caught his attention. "Are you sure you wanna do this tonight boss? I hear the Batman is extra harsh tonight. I heard he even kills you if you steal," he had said. Bruce wondered why they would think that. "I would never kill," he thought as he drifted into sleep.

A few hours later…

Selina had just awoken from her dream less sleep. As she went to look out of her window she saw a woman getting mugged on her way to work. Now keep in mind that Selina wasn't on the side of the law to help but she thought that it was the right thing to do. As she headed down to help she saw a shadow pass above her. When she looked back at the woman and her mugger she saw the Dark Knight already at work. She saw that punch by punch that the woman was slowly getting a look of fear on her face as she watched Batman attack the mugger. Selina made her way over to the woman who was kneeling on the ground in terror of what just happened and was happening. Talking to her in a soft and gentle voice she said, "I know he looks scary. I know you are scared, but you have trust me. He will not hurt you." The woman breathed deeply and replied in a shaky voice, "I was just walking to work when he appeared out of nowhere and demanded money and when I gave it to him he punched me and I screamed."

Batman was on his way to the Bat Signal when he heard a scream from the same alley his parents were killed in. He feared the worst. When he got there he soared over Catwoman who was apparently going to aid the woman as well. As soon as he got on the ground he went to work. Giving punch after punch and kick after kick. What he didn't notice was that the woman who had been mugged was quivering in fear. He didn't notice that Catwoman was trying to comfort a terrified victim. Once he had scared away the thug he went over to the two women and offered a hand to each of them. Catwoman accepted his hand but the other woman was hesitant. In response Batman straightened up and said to Catwoman, "What happened." Catwoman put her hand on her hip and said in mock irritation, "I'm not even going to get a thank you for helping?" "Yes. I guess you're right. Thank you," he replied whole heartedly. Then he walked back to the other woman leaving a stunned Catwoman in his wake. He kneeled and said to the woman who was mugged in a gentle and comforting voice that surprised both women, "Can you tell me your name and what happened?" "My name is Hannah and I was going to work. Then out of nowhere he appeared and demanded all of the money I had. I gave it to him and then he punched me and I screamed," she replied in a stronger voice than earlier. Batman nodded. "Well Hannah. How would you like a ride to work in the Bat-mobile," He inquired. Both Hannah and Selina looked at him in astonishment. He stared back at them with a straight face. "Well okay then," Hannah replied with her voice thick with excitement. "You can come too," he said to Catwoman. She just followed in silence to sit in the passenger seat of the Bat-mobile as Hannah sat in the back seat.

"So. What's the big bad Dark Knight doing letting strangers into his mighty Bat-mobile," Catwoman asked with a hint of amusement as they were passing the movie theater. "I was just feeling generous today," he replied with just as much amusement in his voice. Catwoman just smirked. Hannah was too busy to pay attention with their conversation. Hannah was waving and smiling to all who passed by her. All of the civilians looked at the Bat-mobile in awe. As the group in the car approached the same theater that Bruce and his family went to the night they died. As they were getting out of the car Batman held the door open for both women and held a hand out for them. Both women took it and Batman shut the doors after them. The group walked in a triangle; Batman and Catwoman next to each other and Hannah walking in front, leading the way. As they entered the theater a crowd of people gathered around them taking picture after picture trying to get a good shot of the Dark Knight. Batman held the door for both ladies and then followed them in. (Now picture this. Batman, Catwoman, and a random civilian enter your theater. What would you do? If you answered whether out loud or in your head that would just stand there with your mouth hanging open then you are just like the people in this theater.) All of the employees and movie goers just stopped and stared as the group walked up to the ticket booth. "Hi! I am here for work Mrs. Johns! I'm not late for a change," Hannah said in an excited and joyful voice to joyful for a Gotham resident. Mrs. Johns just nodded, still staring and Batman and Catwoman. "Do you want to watch Out of the Past", asked Mrs. Johns in a shaky voice. Batman and Catwoman looked at each other and shrugged. "Sure. Why not," they both replied in unison. Mrs. Johns gave them tickets free and they sat in the way back so if needed they could sneak out.
