Hiya I'm back! What's up? Nothing? Good! So I'm back with more Batman and me! I don't know how it benefits you guys but it sure benefits me.
No One's Pov.
Bruce stumbled backwards as Necoe walked towards him.
"Bruce aren't you happy to see me?" She said with a little bit of a painful look on her face as she slowly took step after step toward Bruce. After a few steps his back was against the door and Necoe was only a foot away.
"O-of course I'm happy t-to see you." He was now trying to open the door but it just wouldn't open.
"You don't look like it. Are you angry with me because I had to leave?" Instantly he stopped what he was doing and looked at Necoe.
"What? No. No. No. I'm glad you're back, it's just, after your performance I didn't know who I should be Bruce or Batman?" He pulled her into a hug, one hand on her back and one on the back of her head, petting her head.
"I've seen enough of Batman I want to talk to my old friend Bruce. If you don't mind." She said lifting her head up and looking at him with a twinkle in her eye.
"Of course I don't. Tomorrow lunch?" He said, looking at her straight in the eye. She smiled that warm smile and nodded.
Although that smile didn't last long, it went away when then the knock at the door started. It was a hard knock, like the police do when they think you're hiding a convicted criminal.
Bruce's Pov.
Necoe had on a warm smile until there was knock at the door. Her eyes widened and she gasped quietly. I was about to ask her what was going on but then I heard a guy say, "Darka you open this door or your fired!"
She pushed me into the corner and waved a hand over my entire body, and an all-black wave rolled over me blocking me from seeing anything in the room, but I could hear just fine.
"What is it Louis?" I heard her say as she opened the door. I heard a smack sound and a small grunt come from Necoe.
"Marian said she saw a man come in here and heard you guys talking. Where is he?"
"I don't know what you're talking about Louis nobody's in here." I heard something hit the wall not too hard but hard enough to hurt. I tried to get out but I couldn't move.
"You win this time Necoe, but if I get something like this happens one more time, you're out of here."
I heard the door slam close and the darkness creep off of me leaving no trace it was there. I looked around the room to see Necoe on the other side on the ground. I ran over to her as fast as I could. I felt for a pulse, she would be fine but she took the hit a little harder than I expected her too, and was knocked unconscious. I picked her up, bridal style, and I carried her to my car. I put her in the passenger seat, then I got in on the driver's side and drove back to my manor.
At the Manor
Necoe's Pov.
Ugh my head hurts. I'm lying down? I don't remember going back to my apartment. Wait, where's Bruce? I opened my eyes and sat up a little too quickly and knocked heads with whoever was standing over me at the time.
I rubbed my head and opened my eyes to see a large room that looked vaguely familiar. I looked to my right saw a bookshelf and a bedside table with a lamp. Looked to my left saw Bruce sitting in a chair rubbing his head as well.
"Bruce?" I asked slowly.
"Nice to see you're okay, although I don't think my head is." He chuckled.
"Where am I and how did I get here?" I said standing up.
"Well you're in my house and I brought you here." I tried to stand but I couldn't exactly get my feet to work correctly.
"Thank you but why am I here?" I said as I fell back on the bed. Bruce scurried by my side and helped me up.
"That Louis guy pushed you against the wall and you were knocked out. How's your head?" I pointed over to the light switch.
"Turn off the light and it'll be fine." He didn't question me, just did as he was told. I walked over to the window and pulled open the curtain to reveal night sky with a crescent moon hanging in the sky.
"So Bruce?" I turned to look at him and he did the same. "Alfred still around?" He smiled and pointed to the door. I smiled and walked over to his side, all the way down the hall to the kitchen.
"I see your home Master Bruce can I ge-. Who's this Master Bruce?" I smiled so big, you'd think I was crazy. I didn't say hi or anything I just ran over and hugged Alfred. He was surprised. I put him at arm's length and smiled again.
"What I can't hug my favorite butler every now and then?" Alfred loosed up and smiled, pulling me into a tight hug.
"Miss Necoe, it has been quite some time. How are you?" He said letting me go but holding on to my hands.
"Just as fine as The Queen of Darkness can be." I said looking back at Bruce. "But how are you? You haven't aged a day." I said smiling.
"Yea, he's aged 10 years." Bruce said as he laughed. I rolled my eyes.
"No you don't Alfred." I said as I hugged him again. I let go and walked deeper into the kitchen getting things ready to make me something to eat. "The manor hasn't changed much in the past 20 years, has it?"
"Nope just the way my parents left it." Bruce said as he took a seat in the living room.
"Miss Necoe I could fix you something if you would like." Even as a kid I never let Alfred serve me, even in the castle in the Dark Kingdom.
"Now Alfred I haven't changed in the past 20 years either, and I still don't like you serving me." I said to him not turning my attention from the boiling water on the oven.
"Very well then." Alfred said as he went out of the kitchen. "If only Master Bruce was like you maybe I wouldn't look like I was 10 years older." I giggled at his remark, as I found some egg noodles. I put them in the boiling water and walked into the living room to find Bruce watching TV. I plopped down next to him watching the news.
"So you never did answer my question." I raised an eyebrow not knowing what he was talking about. "You know the whole 'Batman' thing."
"Oh that. Well I kind of figured it out when I touched you. I got these visions of a dark place with a long black car, huge computer, and bats. After a few more touches I was able to figure out what it was, the Batcave. And the rest was pretty simple from there."
I told him he grabbed my wrist and dragged me over to the old grandfather clock. He turned the time hands to midnight, and the clock moved aside creating a small entrance.
Bruce's Pov.
I decided to show her the Batcave, she was my best friend and I felt like our trust was as strong as when we were kids. The entrance opened and I pulled her down to the cave showing her around.
"Wow I had no idea that it would be this cool! And I know you're a member of the Justice League, the original 7." She said as she sat at the computer.
"Actually I'm a part-time member, but yea. So how good are you at self-defense?" I asked her getting in to a fighting position. She turned around as she talked.
"Well pretty good I've trained with a few of the best in the world. Oh I see where this is headed." She got up and walked over to me just standing there with her arms crossed. She slowly raised her hand and gave me a 'come at me' signal so I did. I ran towards her and she just stood there and when I was about to hit her and she did was a front handspring using my shoulders landing a good foot behind me crouching slightly.
"Not bad now let's see how you do with speed." She nodded and stood up once again. I ran to her punched and she dodged it. I did the same with my other hand and so did she. I kick and she grabbed my leg twisted it and I ended up on my stomach. I got up and before I could get myself back on track she punched me and kicked my legs out from me.
"That's good now let's take a break. Please." She giggled and helped me up.
"Sorry about that I must have gotten a little too into it." I smiled as she helped me up the stairs.
"It's ok, I've been worse." I said rubbing my back as I did. She looked around the cave for a while. The old costumes, the car, and the batcomputer. She was sitting down at the computer, looking at it intently." I could show yo-"but before I could finish she was typing away. It took me a whole month to teach Dick just the basics and here she was typing away.
"Not bad, but all your criminal reports are missing something." I looked at them, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. "Ah I know." Then she was back to typing away. "There just a few things I needed to add. See all your criminal reports had all the basic info. But only a little personal. Like the Joker and Harley Quinn. They were listed as A-list villains when they should be listed as AA-villains because they have cause a total of 5 murders." I was impressed even I forgot to change that.
"How did you know all that?" I asked looking at her. She smiled, "I talk to Gordon when you're not around and he updates me on what's happening." After that she spun out of the chair and ran back into the house.
