So! A story I found while cleaning my room.


Cragen called his best detectives into his office. "Pack your bags!"

"Malibu? Oh Cap't you shouldn't have!" John swooned sarcastically.

"Shut up John. Gotham City is opening its first special victims unit and we are going to supervise the first week." Cragen announced.

"Gotham?" Olivia asked smiling slightly.

"Yep, why? An ex live there?" Fin teased.

"As a matter of fact, yes." Olivia replied shoving him.

Elliot immediately stepped in, "We'll probably be busy all week, anyways."

Olivia rolled her eyes and followed Fin out of the office. "Don't have a coronary El. He's a good guy."

"Gotham City, that should be interesting." John mused.

"Whatever." Fin said grabbing his coat and leaving along with the others.


Olivia sat between Elliot and Don at the dinner to celebrate the recently opened Gotham City Special Victims Unit.

Commissioner Gordon was in a very heated discussion with Cragen about Gotham's crime rate while Elliot joked around with Munch and Fin.

Olivia poked at her food completely bored, until a shadow hung over her and covered her eyes whispering in a deep voice, "Guess who."

Olivia squealed and turned around hugging him tightly. The rest of the table looked at her, shocked by the sudden outburst.

Elliot stood, "Olivia?"

Olivia separated the hug, "Sorry… uh… Guys this is Bruce Wayne. Bruce this is Elliot, John, Fin, and my captain, Donald Cragen."

"So, you became a cop?" He teased her.

"Yeah, and you became a rich bachelor?" Olivia shot back.

Bruce laughed, "It has its benefits."

"Join us Bruce." Olivia requested sitting back down. He gave a small smile and sat beside her in a chair a waiter offered.

"So Liv, is Bruce that ex you were talking about." Elliot asked drinking his wine.

"Um, no. Sorry, we are just good friends." Olivia sighed poking at some pasta. Bruce stole it off her fork.

He laughed, "Yeah old friends, since high school actually. Olivia was way different back then. On the opposite side of the law, if you catch my drift."

John laughed, "Our little Olivia? A juvenile delinquent?"

Bruce nodded loving how Olivia's cheeks were bright red. "She had a thing for graffiti and streaking."

"That's enough!" Olivia's face was unbelievably red. "It's a good thing you were always with me though, no matter what I did, you did something worse."

Elliot hated their easy banter. He stood. "Well, I'm going to head to the hotel."

"You're staying at a hotel? No, I insist you stay at my house!" Bruce said wiping his mouth.

"Bruce no, we can't." Olivia protested.

"Come on Olivia, you can have your old room back. Haven't touched anything since you left." Bruce smiled at her, pouring on the charm.

"It's up to the guys." Olivia looked at her co-workers.

John shrugged, "Beats a ratty motel room."

"Yeah, I'm in." Fin agreed.

"What do ya say, El?" Olivia asked placing a hand on his arm.

He looked down at her and softened. "If it's what you want."

"Great." She smiled.

"My limo is outside if you're ready." Bruce cut in.

"Okay." Olivia took Bruce's offered arm but not before taking Elliot by the hand and pulling him with her.

The limo sat out in front of the building ready to go. Alfred opened the door and they climbed in. Bruce sat opposite from Elliot and Olivia. He noted that they hadn't released each others hands yet. Neither wore a ring but they seem to act like a married couple, glancing at each other every so often.

They started to pull into a long winding driveway.

"I see you upgraded Bruce." Olivia commented on the large mansion.

"It had some damage done to it. I re-built it the same way, but it still looks different." Bruce replied.

"Afraid of change?" Elliot asked snidely.

Bruce smiled at him ignoring the comment. "I assume you are single then?"

"Why? Are you hitting on me?" Elliot shot back.

"No." Bruce laughed. "I just find it hard to believe that someone could put up with that brooding intensity."

Elliot laughed, "I'll show you brooding intensity."

"Woah guys! Calm down." Olivia warned.

Elliot looked at her, "Sorry Liv.""Yeah, I'm sorry. To make it up to you, I want to take you out tonight. We can take a walk down memory lane." Bruce suggested.

"Sure Bruce." Olivia relaxed and leaned against Elliot subliminally.

Elliot wrapped an arm around her and looked at Bruce. "Ha! Take that you smooth, rich, bastard." he thought.

They climbed out of the limo and were shown to their individual rooms. Elliot sat on his bed throwing a rubber ball against the wall, repeatedly. Olivia slipped into his room. "Hey."

"Hey." he smiled standing and walked to her, "What are you doing here?"

"What do we usually do every Thursday?" Olivia smirked tugging his shirt out of his pants.

Elliot sure as hell knew. They had started sleeping together two months ago. It was supposed to be just sex but lately Elliot found himself wanting more. "You have a date, remember?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm here early." she started kissing under his jaw. That was another thing they did, no kissing on the mouth. It was too personal.

"Liv, I can't anymore." Elliot pulled away.

"Why not El?" Olivia asked biting her lip.

Elliot looked at her, "I… I keep finding myself wanting more. I can't stop wanting more than just sex."

Olivia shook her head, "Elliot, we can't."

He didn't listen. He approached her slowly admiring her hair and her eyes. The way her hips were cocked just slightly and her arms hung loosely at her side. He took her elbows in his hands and pressed his lips against hers. Olivia froze, her eyes widening. After a second, she found herself moving towards him, her eyes closing and they stood their kissing in the moonlight that crept in through the window. Elliot pulled away slowly before pressing his lips to her forehead and whispering, "Please, tell me the feeling is mutual." Olivia looked like she was in pain. Elliot caressed her face lightly. "Liv?"

"I'm sorry Elliot. " She whispered before running out of the room tears threatening her composure.

Elliot fell backwards onto the bed, his mind spinning.


Olivia was quiet as she sat with Bruce at a small restaurant later that night. She sipped lightly on her drink.

"Are you alright?" Bruce asked softly.

"Yeah, just tired." Olivia smiled taking a larger drink.

Bruce set his fork down and leaned forward. "You can't lie to me. It's about your partner isn't it?""Bruce, I came out to spend time with you, not dwell on stupid things." Olivia replied.

He smiled, "Okay, how have you been then?"

"Good, finally became a detective." She answered. "Looks like you became richer."

Bruce laughed, "Just a little." he looked outside, Olivia followed his gaze.

"Arkham has grown quite a bit."

"Unfortunately." he replied.

"Bruce you can't put 'em all away and expect no crime. There's always gonna be a new bad guy."

"Not lately, and that's what scares me." Bruce stood. "Let's get outta here."

"okay." she agreed following him out to the crotch rocket parked out front.


Elliot laid in his bed listening to the world outside the window. He closed his eyes when he head the door opened and Olivia's familiar footsteps. The bed dipped and he felt her cuddle up to his side throwing a leg over his. "Are you awake?"

"No." he answered.

"I'm sorry about freaking out earlier." She whispered.

"It's okay, I shouldn't have said anything." More silence surrounded them.

Olivia bit her lip, "Do you hate me?"

Elliot gave her a serious look, "Yes." he whispered, "I do."

Then at the same moment they both burst into laughter. Olivia and Elliot's laughter ceased after a few minutes. More silence, the Olivia uttered the words, "You should."

Elliot didn't know what to say to that. He simply pulled her into his arms and held her as she cried silently.


So there it is. Im sure there are some of you who are like, what? where's the batman fighting stuff? trust me that's coming later, the story will unfold itself in good time.
