A/N- So here is the second Chapter as usual I don't own batman only my characters blah blah blah. Sorry this is shorter than the first chapter. They are only like 4-5 pages on word. ENJOY :)

The sound of the obnoxious alarm clock sent Amanda rolling out of bed, and hitting the floor at 8:30. "Well that's going to leave a mark" Amanda complained looking down at her arm, then her knee.

She got up to get ready, she jumped in the shower, used her new shampoo that smelled like cherry blossoms with the matching conditioner, she got out, and combed her dark brown hair to get all of the knots out, thenwent to go pick today's clothes. She wasn't going to leave this apartment for the entire day since she had so many things to unpack. She put on a plaid shirt and some corduroys, it had gotten cold the past week.

From Jill: Amanda CALL ME (11:50 pm)

From Jill: AMANDA CALL ME! (2:30 am)

She went to her missed calls and saw that Jill called around six this morning, and an hour later at seven. Usually Jill isn't the one to call and text me millions of times. That was typically me.

To Jill: Whts so important tht you had to tell me. (9:23 am)

Amanda looked down at her phone, which had a giant crack in it, and saw that her best friend Jill was calling.

"Hello?" Amanda said questionably even though she knew it was Jill.

"WELL! I am not telling you over the phone so I am on my way down to your apartment. Be there in five.

"Wait Wha—" Amanda was cutoff by a deadline.

Five minutes later Amanda turned her head to the door that sounded like it was being attacked. She walked over taking her sweet time. When she opened up the door she saw Jill jumping up and down.

"Jill calm down!" yelling over the squeals of her best friend. "What was so important that you wanted to tell me?"

"Jake proposed to me last night! He proposed!"

"Oh my God! Ahhh Jill I am so happy for you!" Amanda was genuinely happy for her best friend, and hugged her.

"Well I have to go, I promise tomorrow we will have lunch, and I will tell you everything."

"And alright just call me tomorrow on where you want to go. I am so happy for you Jill!"

Amanda had been working non-stop with unpacking, she had two rooms left and she would finally be done. Then around four she heard her door knock. Thinking to herself, who would that be? Jill is not home she is with Jake right now… She walked over to her door opening it and seeing him.

"I forgot you were coming!" Amanda said embarrassingly.

"Well here I am, and I am going to help" Bruce said. He was wearing an old white t-shirt with a faded orange logo and some faded jeans. He looked tired, like he only got a couple hours of sleep. She knew that feeling.

"Well ok. I was actually just about to clean the kitchen so do you want to help with that?" Thinking that she wanted to avoid the inevitable of unpacking the boxes in her room and bathroom.

"Sure, show me the way." Bruce said looking her directly in her deep brown eyes.

Taken back by his intense stare she made her way through the kitchen in a fog. The kitchen was in need of a good cleaning. Empty boxes everywhere, some dust, and some filth from outside.

"So, why did you decide to move to Gotham?" Bruce followed her into the kitchen.

"There were many things that led me here, but I just wanted to get out of my ignorant hometown. Everyone there turned their heads when anything bad happened." Amanda looked down at the floor. Bruce knew something bad had happened to her but would ask her another day when they knew each other a little more.

Stepping closer to her, pinning her against the counter, "So where should we start?"

"Well we can start with moving these boxes out of here." She said noticing the closeness of him, "And then we can clean the counters, and finish off with mopping the floor… Or is that something new for a spoiled billionaire?"

"Nothing new to me, I have always helped around when I was younger."

After they moved out the numerous boxes, and cleaned the counters, they went to mopping. It was a messy job and half way through the tedious task there were soap bubbles everywhere.

"I think we used waaayyy too much soap to clean the floor." Amanda giggled.

"Yeah, I think so. How the hell are we going to clean it up?" But then Bruce picked up some soap bubbles of the floor and threw it at her.

"You know what this means now…" Amanda smiled like she was up to something.

"What?" Bruce said knowing what was going to happen.

"War." She picked up handful of soap bubbles, started walking towards him and assaulted him. An hour later they were hysterically laughing on the floor covered in bubble and bubbles of soap trying to catch their breaths after their 'war'. They lounged on the floor for another hour. During tat hour they were sharing stories from their past.

"Well the party was huge, it was out of town since I hated like 70 percent of the people in my school. But the cops busted it. Everyone scattered. There were people jumping out of the second story, and I was hopping peoples fences in the back of their yard with two of my friends, then like twenty houses down we crossed the street and a cop stopped us and was about to take us in so then we sprinted I we jumped into a pile of leaves and stayed there for like a half hour until we knew the cops were gone. A week later a found a leaf in the sweatshirt I was wearing."

"You sounded like a trouble maker when you were high school." Reminding Bruce of his high school days.

After they lay in silence staring up into the ceiling with the faint tune of Back Against the Wall by Cage the Elephant in the back round. Bruce then turned towards Amanda and looked deeply into her eyes, Amanda looking back with the same intensity, moving in slowly intending on him to kiss her. Just when he was about to kiss her, his phone went off. Reaching into his pocket to pull out his phone glancing down at the caller ID and identified that Alfred was calling. He pressed ignore knowing what Alfred was already going to tell him. He got up, extended his arm towards Amanda and helped her up onto her feet.

"I have to go, but would you like to have lunch tomorrow with me?" Bruce asked hoping she would say yes.

"I can't I am meeting Jill for lunch to help her plan for her wedding." Amanda said disappointed that she was unable to meet with him.

"Then dinner." Bruce said successfully

Amanda got up and found a pen in a random drawer and wrote her number on his hand.

"Call me tomorrow and tell me the time and place." She winked at him.

Bruce smiled and left her apartment excited for tomorrow. Closing the door behind him he took the elevator up to his penthouse suite and began to get ready for tonight's upcoming events.

After Bruce had left Amanda gazed outside the window and noticed a light in shape of a bat in the sky. Another big city thing she thought to herself, noting that she would have to ask Jill about the mysterious light tomorrow. That is if she could get off the subject of the proposal and the plans for her best friend's wedding.

Chad walked out of the apartment building after having another boring day of work at the snooty bar around one- thirty. The dark streets of Gotham were deserted because nobody walked these streets at night, unless you wanted to get mugged, or killed. When he made his was down to the Narrows, he walked into the back door of Angelos a sleazy restaurant. He usually didn't go here often because is screamed trouble, but he had to meet Alex here to tell him what he saw. He called him up the night before to tell him that his little ex was at the bar he worked at. And that she was not dead.

"Damn it!" Alex chucked a half empty lowball glass, and it shattered against the wall. "Why the fuck she here, if she finds us we're dead!" He was fuming. He would have to get rid of her once and for all.

He left without paying the bar tab, and stormed out of the hole in the wall bar. Leaving Luke at Angelo's to find his own way home; he left for the motel he was staying at. Preparing for what he thought had happened a while ago.

Having a slow night, Batman turned in for the evening. When he arrived back at the penthouse Alfred was calmly waiting for him in the library.

Without looking up from his book, "I assume that you had an easy night Master Wayne, since you are home so early."

"With the Joker gone, and many other criminals behind bars or at Arkham there has been low criminal activity. I can't help but feel that something is going to happen soon."

"Well, I know that you are up for anything, and I think it would be wise of you to start heading off to bed. You want to be in a good mood for you date tomorrow." Alfred said satisfied that Bruce was finally reaching out to someone other then mourning over his late friend Rachel.

R&R it will make my day! Probably no one has read this yet XD but yup, I will have the third chapter soon so yeahh :)))
