"You are a moron." This was said calmly that Bruce had to take a step back. He then squared his shoulders and took a deep breath.
"It's for your own good." Chloe shook her head and threw her hands up.
"You are unbelievable. I think that I should be the judge of what is or is not good for me. I'm a big girl I can take of myself." Bruce shook his head and turned his back on her.
"It's best to end this relationship Chloe. Alfred can show you out." He stood there completely unmovable and Chloe felt her heart break. What was the point in fighting him?
"Good bye Bruce." Chloe turned out of the room and tried hard to keep the tears from leaking out of her eyes. Bruce stood unmoving looking out of the window.
"Miss Sullivan has left, Master Wayne," Alfred said. Bruce could hear the disapproving tone in Alfred's voice.
"What would you have me do Alfred? It's safer for her this way." Alfred sighed silently.
"I would like to see you happy and settled down. I like to see you taken care of."
Bruce said nothing and continued to stare out the window. Alfred started to try away.
"I am a moron, aren't I?" Alfred stopped and was relived.
"Yes sir you are." Bruce nodded.
"Well then I guess I better change that." Bruce walked swiftly out of the room and to the garage.
Meanwhile Chloe arrived back at her apartment. She threw her coat off on the couch. She muttered to herself as she changed into more comfortable clothing.
"Most infuriating man." She stalked to the freezer and pulled out a carton of ice cream. She grabbed a spoon and then plopped down on the couch in her living. She turned on the TV and a chick flick was on.
"No thank you." She changed the channel and the scene was of a man proclaiming his love to a woman. She angrily changed the channel and was met with the same results.
"Why isn't there something on involving explosions?" Then there was a knock on the door. Chloe ignored it. The knocking continued, and Chloe angrily got up to answer the door.
"What do you-Oh it's you," Chloe said when she saw Bruce.
"Can I come in?"
"No." She wasn't going to make this easy for him.
"Chloe, please." The please surprised her.
"Okay." She opened the door wider for Bruce to enter. He walked in and turned to face her.
"I'm sorry Chloe. You were right I am a moron. And I'm terrified that something bad will happen to you. Everyone I have ever loved has died. I don't want that to happen again." Chloe felt her heart stop.
"Do you love me?"
"So much that it terrifies me."
"Bruce." He placed his finger over her lips.
"I want to make this work Chloe. Are you willing to be with a man who was serious issues?"
"Yes of course I am." Chloe threw her eyes around Bruce and the kissed. When they pulled back Chloe tried to remember how to breath. She drew back from him.
"But if you pull that it's for you own good crap I'm going to kick your butt!"
