Hi, everyone
After reading a lot of new Rises's fics, I kinda started to think about how I could develop something about Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle by myself. And here begins my ideas. I don't know exactly yet where I'm going with this, but I want to develop something that fits with was left at the end of TDKR.
Thinking about the writing itself, I would like to say I never, never wrote something narrative in my life. So, I'm all ears for suggestions and critics to do it in the best way. The other thing is English isn't my first language but I decided to do it in English because is almost universal. If I wrote anything wrong, just tell me.
So, this is it. I hope you all guys like it
Starting Fresh
Chapter I
In less than two minutes, he was on the air, saving the day. And Selina hated him for that. How didn't he thought about escape? Why did he thought that city deserved his sacrifice? Questions that she, guided by her own moral code, never could understand, now more than never.
After watch the explosion in silence, next to Gordon, Selina walked back to the batpod, wanting to leave the place as soon as possible. After passed by Gordon again, while was pushing the vehicle with your hands, Selina talked to him for the first time, while started the motorcycle:
"Nice to meet you, comissioner", she said, while climbed on the bike to leave the place.
"You know what, miss? During all these years, a few times I saw him let people approaching him and some of them wasn't trusted". Gordon said, looking down, remembering something and looking again for Selina after: "If he If he allowed the closeness I saw here between you..."
Gordon smiled when thought how weird was saw someone that he almost didn't believed was human kissed another one in front of him: "You must be a valuable person."
Selina was almost leaving: "I'm not so sure about that" and let Gordon behind.
After some miles of empty streets, Selina decided to leave the batpod where Batman kept it. Even she liked the bike, keep it could give some problems to her . After let the batpod in the container, she came back to Oldtown, walking. In the streets, people were starting to reappear, because everyone noticed the bomb exploded out of the city.
On the way to the tunnel she oppened hours before, a traffic jam was starting. Selina only thought about leave Gotham as soon as possible. In her apartment, a few things survived the thefts, but she was cautious and hide some stuff in a false bottom in a wardrobe, like some food, drugs, clothes, money and a laptop, guarded with an object that was the most valuable of them now: the Clean Slate program, the only thing she wanted to use before leave the town.
With the laptop in hands, Selina sat on the floor and while waited the computer starts and load the program, she took off her night vision glasses from the head, with the belt and the gun she was carrying, keeping it close just in case.
The program was ready, asking for the data to be cleaned. She took a deep breath and put your informations, almost didn't believing she finally got what wanted during all this time. She couldn't avoid think about Bruce and all he had done since entered in her life. She still didn't understand why he insisted so much with someone that seemed to have no salvation.
The program finished loading all the data was required. Selina began to select what would disappear forever: criminal records, stints in reform schools, reports about her behavior... but she didn't dare erase one thing: her own name. With no criminal data, she could keep it and restart without problems with the law. If anyone crossed her way, she thought could handle that.
Selection made, Selina took a deep breath and dialed "enter". While the data were deleted, she took parts of her suit for see if there was any damage. Checking done, Selina looked at the laptop again. Everything was erased. With a slight smile, she took the cursor to the right top of the screen to close the program, and the laptop didn't answer the charge. She tried again, unsuccessfully, when the Clean Slate opened a new window.
"That bastard!"
Bruce had introduced a new command in the program, activated only when Selina used it. After reading what was written on the new window, she checked the time on the computer and with a slight smile, turned off the laptop and rose. She had just realized that he had much to do ahead.
