No one could see past his fake smile. NO ONE. It was either the fact that he was very good at faking it or, no one cared. All everyone cared about was his money. This was when he was Bruce Wayne however. When he was batman he had someone who cared and maybe she would pull his mind out of the darkness.

It was after fighting the joker, he went to a rooftop to find catwoman sitting on the edge of a roof. She knew he was there but everything was silent until she spoke,

"I don't know how you do it. This man plays with your mind night after night and you aren't in a mental hospital. Sure I get it, you take out the anger on the criminals but it doesn't help your emotional pain. Whatever you don't have to answer." The catwoman paused to check he was still there," I just want you to know that you're my idol."

The great batman didn't know how to respond, he was flattered but he didn't know how to take compliments, " thank you, Miss Kyle." And with that said he left.

- BACK AT THE MANOR-

Bruce was still shocked at what she said. Little did anyone know that even Bruce Wayne had problems, he suffered from depression. He suffered from panic attacks had even found him with a rope once but paid no attention. In his life at the moment he felt as if the only person he had was Selina Kyle, he felt as if to some extent she understood. After having a shower Bruce went to sleep despite the nightmares he knew he would have. The next day, Bruce went to work ,like he would on a normal Friday morning, and went the whole day faking a smile. His mind was pre occupied the whole day as he was debating with himself whether to tell Selina who he was underneath the mask ( well the main one at least ). Eventually, Bruce came to a conclusion. He decided that he WOULD tell her.

That night, after finishing his work he decided to meet Selina in his usual place that they met,

"Hello, Miss Kyle."

"Hey batman"

After a few minutes of silence batman finally spoke," do you ever wonder who I am, under the mask?"

"All the time, you won't tell me however so I don't ask."

Batman lifted his mask off to reveal his face Selina was turned around so she couldn't see.

"Selina," Bruce Wayne was now speaking this wasn't batman," I want you to turn around."

Selina obeyed and when she turned around she saw a handsome man with unbelievably bright blue eyes," B -Bruce?"

" Yes." Bruce took her in his arms and kissed her. Finally, when they broke apart, they went to Wayne manor and she agreed to sleep the night. It was 1am when they fell asleep.

At 2:45 Selina was woken up by Bruce shaking violently in his sleep she kissed him, told him everything was going to be okay and fell back to sleep.

At 4 am Selina was woken up by Bruce crying in his sleep she kissed him, told him everything was going to be okay and fell back to sleep.

At 9am Selina was woken up by Bruce having a panic attack she kissed him, told him everything was going to be okay and made them some breakfast.

Selina felt pure sorrow for him it was nothing she couldn't handle but for the first time in her life, she wanted to help someone. She had so much respect for this man because he goes all day faking a smile for everyone else when no one gives anything back.
