Martha stood in her office at a loss, she had just told Perry her secret and left, just like that. She loved him, there was nothing that could stop her from admitting that but she didn't know if she could trust him anymore. Her coat long gone along with her shoes next to the coat rack, staring out a window that over looked the whole city. She could see everyone but no one could see her, leave it to Lionel to have one way glass, if that was even possible. A glass of scotch was held in her hands, untouched.
"Lionel, would be proud." Martha whispered to herself as she thought about him. She loved him as well but she was damn scared to admit it. Lifting the glass up and bringing it to her lips she swallowed all of the contents in one gulp, life at that moment sucked.
"Don't fall into what I did." Martha quickly turned at the sound of the voice.
"It doesn't make the pain go away, believe me." Perry concluded once Martha looked at him.
"I know." Simple but clear was the only way Martha could reply as she set the glass down on top of the desk and turned away slightly.
"You think I am going to write that you are, were the Red Queen don't you?"
"Why wouldn't you? It was your big story!" Martha replied harshly as she again turned directly towards him.
"Who cares about a big story! I am Editor and Chief of The Daily Planet! I don't need a big story anymore, only ones from the writers. All I want is you, don't you see? I love you!" Perry replied honestly as he stood in front of Martha. "I just want to be with you." He ended as he put his hands on Martha's shoulders.
"The things you said about me, the Red Queen. I did those things, me not someone else. Can you except that?" Martha asked worriedly.
"Martha, I still loved you even though I didn't know you were the Red Queen and you had still done those things. You are still you and I love you no matter what." Perry reached up and lightly placed Martha's loose hair behind her ear, then lightly touched her cheek. "Next time though, don't leave me hanging on the side of a roof, please." Martha and Perry lightly laughed.
"I didn't plan on that, I got scared when I saw you. I just…"
"I know." Martha smiled again at him, this time the two leaned into one another and kissed the other passionately. The two found themselves on top of the expensive desk in Martha's office in to time, the future looked promising but is it really going to be?
I know, I know it took me forever! I just now got an idea as to where I wanted to go with this. I will update the next time I can, I am in college so it will take a while!
