He Loved Her Enough
-Drabble-

They were married in the park; the last part of Gotham that hadn't been overrun with a modernized city landscape. There was nothing but trees and green grass, flowers and the silence of nature. They brought their friends out with no knowledge of what was happening, the media had no idea that one of their scandalous billionaires was settling down, and out of nowhere stepped the priest they'd asked to keep mum about the whole thing. It was quick, easy, and completely intimate; just how she wanted it. There were no camera flashes except for Lois' five dollar disposable, there were no fears over whether or not the wedding would be crashed or interrupted. It was just him, her, their closest friends and a vow of forever.

And when all was said and done, he wrapped his arms around her and danced them across the open grass to no music except his humming in her ear. It was enough to assure her that while their future would be bumpy - superhero lives aside, he was always in the media - Bruce would always go out of his way to make sure that they came before all else. He loved her enough to do a small wedding in a park rather than a million dollar bash, to let out his soft side in front of the entire League who saw him more as a foreboding figure than a romantic, and to say "I Do," when she knew the idea of having someone so important become a target scared the hell out of him.

But when he bent down on his knee that night a few weeks ago, she knew that he'd thought it through and was willing to push away any fears if only to have her for as long as he could. Because she wasn't scared, she wasn't going to cower against the ferocity of Gotham's hate. She was too strong for that and fully capable of standing next to his side, facing whatever came their way. So here she stood, Mrs. Chloe Ann Wayne, and she wouldn't want it any other way.

He kissed the side of her neck, sighing contently, and she knew he felt the same.
