Bruce & Selina
They had been sat holding each other on the edge of the roof top for a few hours now simply watching the city move and continue as it always had, the winter night had grown colder with every passing hour and snow had started to fall making the night feel colder than it actually was. Yet them sharing there heat with other made it feel like even the killer cold of the Arctic couldnt defeat them at this moment. The pigeons had qiuetend down now and the sound of silence had rested them both in to almost falling asleep, as both Bruces and Selinas eyes where growing heavy and they where drifting off to sleep both of them suddenly where woken up by the whimiscal sound of Selina's stomach grumbling quickly followed by a loud laugh from Bruce. The girl threw her elbow directly into his side with a face of embrassement following along.
Once Bruce had managed to stopped laughing and streching to wake himself up, he smiled saying "I guess we got caught up in the moment and forgot to get somthing to eat as we planned." Checking his fathers watch and clearying seeing that it was half past eleven.
Selina's ears picked up to the sound of food and with her cheeky smile she sarcastically said "Shame you happend to forget once it came to you paying huh, you forget to carry money again billionaire blunder?"
"Of course not, just its been a while since Gothams been this serene, this calm. Its nice to spend it with good-"
Selina Interrupting suddenly and grabed his hand and said "Don't get all soppy with me B, we don't have time, the local dinner closes in thirty minutes so we got to hurry"
Selina begins pulling Bruce across the old roof top towards the exiting ladder to begin climbing down. Bruce didnt mind her interupting or even puling him along infact he loved it when she took charge. Made him think that for once he can let loose and let someone in and she was the only person he could be with that filled that hole in his heart that was once held by his parents. Even though he would never admit it being with her helped dull that pain and the lonliness he always felt simply melted away.
Upon arriving at the diner the owner instantly reconized the both of them not because one of them was known as the prince of Gotham but the man knew them as the couple of love birds who would come in almost everyday a few years ago or atleast he though they where. When they came in before he found himself making a small story about them in his head, he saw it like the classic love storys of old, his daughter was always reading. Two young teens trapped homeless on the streets of Gotham simply clinging to each other to surrive through the thick and the thin that the world throw at them. However recently that fantasy has left his mind the boy only ever came in clean and dressed to impress, which he found hilarous how he hadn't noticed that the girl didn't care how he dressed as long as it was him with her. He thought that the kid of a man must of ran into some good fortune and the only real thing tieing him to streets anymore was his lady in black which he found even more romantic. As they came and sat down in the second booth along from the door where they normally sat he prepared them there regular order which he knew after five minutes of clever planning between them they would still order the same thing. As they decided he made a fresh cup of Yorkshire tea that he ordered in specially for the boy since he was the only tea drinker in Gotham and a simple black coffee for the girl. He never charged them for these drinks since when they had first started coming here they barely had a cent between them but know even knowing the boy had money now, he preffred keeping the drinks free out of habit more than anything.
After a few minutes of making themselves comfortable Selina and Bruce ordered the same thing they allways did and began talking about where Selina's next mark was and which criminal was on her hit list of easy money. Selina was keeping up a her normal cool persona to attempt to reassure Bruce that her next mark was going to be no hassle even though deep down she knew he saw right through it.
"So after my man on the inside opens the skylight, I simply wait an hour and do what i do best." Selina says with that mischevous look of hers.
"Which is not getting caught i assume?" Bruce said hiding his concern for her well being.
"Yes, B it is. I promise, this one will be no hassle at all and will put me up for a couple more weeks" She said softer understadning his concern.
"Ok Selina, but remember im always a call away if it gets bad." He said feeling as he was required to say it even though she knew and had heard it all before.
After that the food arrived, the owner of the joint smiling away as he often did gave them a refill of there drinks. They didnt talk much while eating, which was normal for them Bruce always kept to 'Proper table manners' even though if there was anyway you could think of that people woundn't people use table manners it would be here. And Selina ate silently, mainly as when she was in the Saint Mariah's Orphange she learnt quick that the faster and the quiter you ate the more you got to. She never got out of the habit of eat first talk later, however these complete oppositesides of the scale's had lead to them having similar eating habits. After finishing there meal the place was locking up however the owner said they could have an extra ten minutes aslong as they left the moment they where asked, this is because he knew they liked talking for a while after and he could get some paper work done beofre heading home for the night. It was just turning one in the morning the diner was usually open to about one due to the late night life that was Gotham.
Bruce began talking to selina about his current curiculam and how he was researching diffrent ways to grapple, absail and scale buildings. All of which Selina found boring when he could use the alley ladders like everyone else but Bruce seemed well infused on the topic and she didnt want to disprupt him. When she ahd the sudden thought about how him and her acted around each other, Bruce never ley himself talk normally even to Alfred and then agian niether did she. This only happend once they where in each others comapny this played on selina mind for a bit and eventually curiosty got the better of her and she had to ask him. So she simply waited for the perfect time to interupt him and get off the subject of hand held gas powered grappeling hooks.
"So using a thin titainium cable with a carbon alloy it would reinforce the-" Bruce was saying untill selina interupted him.
"B? Have you noticed how your the only one to call me Selina, everyone else calls me Cat?" She said with a slight sad tone to her voice.
"Sure I have, I just thought it was nice having someone call you that every once in a while." He said taking her hand with a reassuring smile.
"But why do you think that B? "hen we first met i clearly told you my name was cat" She said looking down at the table.
"Because your the only person who doesn't call me Bruce Wayne or see's me as him, and when you call me B. It reminds me that I'm not the empty mask of the boy people want me to be. I'm me not just a Billionaire." His hand began to shake slightly but he tried his best to hide it from her.
"Funny, Don't you think B? When I see you, I see B and when you see me you see Selina kyle. However once we walk out of that door the world see's me as Cat and you as Bruce Wayne. Me and you really are opposites yet where also so similar." She said lifting her head up and smiling at him.
"Selina, where not opposites. Where two jig saw pieces, two completly diffrent shapes that fit perfectly togther. When ever you forget who you are Miss Kyle ill be there to call you by your real name, always and forever." He said holding her hand tighter.
"And ill be there to help you remove that empty mask Mr Wayne. But if i have to be honest if theres only two pieces to a jig-saw it would be a pretty boring puzzle." She said as they both began to laugh at her remark.
The time had caught up on them and they headed out after to paying there tab and headed out side together, the street was empty with only them and the sound of the soft snow creeking under there feet as they headed down the long street. Winters long fingers had slowly wrapped itself around Gotham and the cold sctrached across them with a vengance. As they got to the end of the street Bruce's face grew dull turning to Selina knowing that he would have to head back to the manor leaving her hear to fend off the cold. Selina notcied this almost instantly and grabbed his hand one last time, the heat of this tiny bit of skin made the snow almost melt to them in there mind. She turned to him smiling with a mischevous grin once again saying.
"You know B, My current squat is only ten minutes away from here and Alfred would hate to be woken at this foul time of night." She was slightly blushing at this but played it off as just the cold.
Bruce catching onto to what she was making out his face lit up almost instantly but he as well tried to play it off. "Well Selina he did always say a proper man must always walk a lady home."
"Well we can't disapoint him now can we" She giggled as they headed toward her Squat.
D
An hour earlier
D was standing on a roof top ignoring the cold and stairing down at the Diner in which Bruce and Selina where currently in. He had a smirk on his face when he was suddenly distracted by a presence he all to use to behind him.
"What you looking at D?" The boy said from behind him.
"An old friend of ours, working her claws into her next mark. She's doing the old pretend to care deal." He said with a snese of pride to his voice.
The boy looked down at the diner seeing the two hold hands over the table. They both smiled as the isntanly reconized the woman sat at the table. The boy looked at D for a second before turning back to the diner.
"D, so Cat's still in Gotham and up to her normal tricks but whos the mark? A school boy where the money in seducing school kids?"
D turned to him and smirked saying "Oh Floyd you have no idea how much that mark is work, we taught her to go for the top and thats exactly whats she doing. Have the rats look up where shes staying time for a little reunion between the orphans of saint Mariahs."
