Hey there! I'm a HUGE fan of Gotham and a few nights ago, I came up with the idea of writing a story that takes place 10 years after the events of Gotham when Bruce and Selina have their masked counterpart. I hope you enjoy chapter 1!
I do not own Gotham.
"This is Vicki Vale reporting live from Gotham City Police Department and I'm here with Commissioner Jim Gordon. Commissioner, Can you tell us if we are in any threat with the Penguins all-out war?" Vicki moves the microphone she is holding and points it at Jim Gordon.
"Well, I can assure you that the citizens of Gotham will be safe from any harm and I ask all of Gotham to not worry about this situation-"
Bruce Wayne turns the television off and sighs while lounging back on his couch in his study room. The Penguin these past 10 years has been the one enemy Commissioner Gordon could not defeat. Even Bruce is having a hard time tracking him down.
His thoughts were disturbed when his butler, Alfred came inside Bruce's study room.
"Master Bruce, I hate to disturb you from your thoughts but Miss Kyle is here to see you." The butler says elegantly to Bruce while standing in the doorway.
The young millionaire stands up with a bit of a shocked expression. "Selina is here? Bring her in, Alfred." Bruce tells his butler.
Alfred starts to walk down the stairs while saying, "Very well, Master Bruce."
It didn't take long for Selina Kyle to appear in his study room. A while back, Selina has taken accustom to coming to Wayne Manor through the front door. Selina has become quite the elegant woman these past 10 years thanks to Jim Gorden's ex, Barbra.
Bruce stands up from the couch and walks towards his childhood friend. "Selina, what brings you here?"
Selina gives Bruce a wide catty grin. The young woman still had short curly blonde hair but she would often style it every now-and-then. Bruce has grown a few inches taller than her over the years. Selina seems like a midget compared to Bruce. It would sometimes bother her.
"Just thought I should visit you to make sure you aren't doing anything crazy without me." She says with humor in her voice.
"Why would I be doing anything crazy?" Bruce asked Selina while smiling. But he knew she was right… he has been doing crazy things such as dressing up as a bat and fighting the criminals in Gotham. But he won't tell Selina that part.
Selina smiles back and references herself from a conversation 10 years ago. "Just thought you should know."
The witty woman makes herself comfortable on Bruce's couch while the young millionaire takes a seat next to her.
Selina takes a deep breath before speaking up. "So, have you heard about this new so called crime-fighting hero, Batman?"
Bruce stiffens up when Selina mentions Batman in their conversation. He had to calm down… there is no way Selina Kyle suspects Bruce Wayne as Batman. No way.
The nervous man coughs to take away the lump he felt in his throat. "Well, I would prefer Batman over this crazy cat bugler roaming around Gotham-"
"Her name is Catwoman!" Selina silenced herself after realizing her outburst.
It seems like Selina has a little secret of her own. But there is no way Bruce could find out she is the cat bugler, Catwoman.
Bruce chuckles Selina's outburst off. She has always done these types of things ever since they were kids. He used to get so offended by it but now he learned how to laugh it off.
"Sorry to offend, Miss Kyle." Bruce says huskily while staring into Selina's deep eyes.
Over the years, Bruce has become quite the playboy. Bruce has dated more woman than Selina could count with her two hands. She admits, it does get her on edge sometimes since she did know Bruce when he was just a scared, grief-stricken, child.
Selina wished she could stand up from the stupid couch and leave the old decrepit mansion but she knew she couldn't… not when Bruce Wayne is just inches away from her lips.
It has been over 6 months since Selina or Bruce made a move on each other. It's mostly Selina backing away from a romantic relationship with the millionaire Bruce Wayne. She isn't the type of person to get too close to somebody… even if it's a childhood friend.
Selina steps back into reality when she was now able to feel Bruce's breath hitting her face. She could step back right now if she wanted to. She could push him away and leave Wayne Manor. But she didn't.
The young woman closes her eyes and leans into the lips of Bruce Wayne. The minute Selina's lips met Bruce's, he deepened the kiss further. Selina pushed herself closer to Bruce and wraps her arms around his neck while Bruce wraps his arms around her waist. Selina, feeling a little daring, bits Bruce's lips and it earns a moan from him.
The woman had to admit, Bruce's kissing skills has improved a lot since the last time they kissed. Must be because of all those other women he dated…
Bruce and Selina kept up their make-out session for a good 5 minutes before she pushes herself away, coming to her senses. While panting heavily, she looks at Bruce who is just as flustered as her.
"I… I should get going. Barbra is going to give me an earful if I'm out too long." Selina said while trying to avoid eye-contact with Bruce. But that was easier said than done since Bruce's piercing eyes kept searching her eyes.
Selina stands up from the couch and walks towards the door. "It was nice seeing you, Bruce. I'll talk to you soon."
The woman closes the door and starts pacing down the stairs. Why was she so nervous? Selina kissed Bruce many times! But she only kissed him at the heat of the moment! Wait, did she kiss Bruce earlier because it was in the heat of the moment? The whole event confused her like crazy.
She left Wayne Manor without saying a word to Alfred. Selina isn't in the mood to talk yet. She still can't trust her own voice. But later on tonight she'll get her mind off of the millionaire…
"So Bruce, when do you think we could go on that romantic date you spoke about a few days ago?" A feminine voice said to Bruce over the phone.
"Not tonight Vicki. Maybe we can go tomorrow night?" Bruce suggested.
"Sounds good? You'll pick me up at seven?" The reporter asked.
"Sure. Sounds good, Vicki."
Haha! This is sure to be interesting! I figured if I added in Vicki Vale, it'll make things more dramatic! This is also my first time writing a Gotham fanfic so, excuse me if I made a few mistakes here and there.
