Bitchy Barnes: I'm not sure what arc I'm doing because I'm envisioning the Joker from the Arkham games. I'm also not sure when the next update it. It's pathetic but I already have writers block.
Emily grabbed a drink from her fridge and the TV remote. She got on the couch and turned on the TV. The news was on so she started flipping through the channels.
Emily never really felt paranoid but if the Batman could into her bedroom through the window anyone could. She put her drink on the table next to the remote and got up and went to her room. She went over to the window and locked it. She looked down at the street and noticed a random guy looking up and doing a double take. Emily stepped away from the window. Maybe she should get curtains.
The next morning Emily woke up at normal time and went to the kitchen to have breakfast.
After breakfast Emily leaned against the counter and sighed. She was stuck home with nothing to do. She had nothing to clean, she didn't do normal things like sow or draw or paint as a hobby. She never had time for a hobby. Even when she had a planned day off she always asked Kevin if she could just work instead. Of course he said he couldn't let her work seven days a week. Emily never looked for an excuse to get out. If she had to go shopping she would put it off until last minute. With nothing else to do Emily checked her fridge and made a mental list. She went to her room and pulled on a pair of jeans and a shirt over her tank top. She grabbed her sneakers and bag. She got her key from the bowl and left the apartment.
Once outside Emily looked up at the sky; it was going to rain today. Emily always loved the rain, it calmed her, and she loved it even more at night. Emily looked down from the sky and mentally frowned looking at the people walking on the sidewalk and the cars passing by. With an internal sigh Emily started walking to the store.
It didn't take her long to get there and it didn't take her long to get what she needed. Even so by the time she was checked out it had started to rain. Even though she did enjoy the rain she knew getting caught in it for too long would get her sick; the last thing she needed was an excuse for Kevin to have her stay home.
Emily turned around and scanned the store. It was an only food store so she wouldn't be able to buy a new umbrella. She mental cursed herself for not going back to get hers when she saw it was going to rain. She thought she'd be home by then. She didn't even have her jacket so she had no hood. She was going to get sick for sure and the rain was coming down harder. She sighed and left the store. It had a small shaded area. Emily tried to formulate a plan where wouldn't get as wet. She could run with the bag or she'd drop things. Emily was pulled from her thoughts when someone stepped near her and opened their umbrella over her.
"I forget mine all the time." Emily looked up at the tall, handsome man who looked down at her with a smile.
"You look familiar..." She looked at his eyes. His smile faltered slightly.
"Oh yeah, names Bruce."
"Wayne?" Emily asked raising an eyebrow. He nodded. "Doing your own shopping?" He shrugged.
"I needed to pick up a few things. Anyway I saw you just standing here. You'll get sick if you down get home soon; you don't even have a jacket."
"Thought I'd get home before the rain started." Emily said. "Are you gunna walk me home or just stand here?"
"I wouldn't want you to get sick."
"You've never met me before, why do you care?"
"I'm trying to be nice. You already look cold, come on lead the way." Emily looked at him a moment.
"Your eyes seem so familiar." He chuckled and looked away to hide his eyes.
"I don't even know your name and you're flirting with me." Emily couldn't help but scoff.
"I'm not flirting with you, and if that was an attempt to learn my name it failed."
"I guess I can just call you the mysterious woman."
"Alright" Emily said with a shrug before she started to walk down the sidewalk, Bruce walked with her keeping his umbrella above both of them.
"I have to warn you, I can be very stubborn."
"I'm not telling you my name." She said without looking at him. Bruce chuckled.
The two walked in silence and Emily could help but notice that Bruce almost knew where to turn and when to stop once they got to her building.
"So I'll see you around?" Bruce asked.
"Not likely." Emily said as she took out her key. Bruce chuckled.
"Well if I'm never going to see you again can I get a name?" Emily unlocked the door.
"What fun would that be?" Emily smirked and went inside. She rolled her eyes and went up to her apartment.
Once she'd put her food away she went over to her laptop, which was in her kitchen charging, and looked up the nearest store to buy curtains from. Once she found a store and a route she grabbed her jacket and umbrella.
She looked around and saw Bruce was gone. She rolled her eyes again before opening her umbrella and walking down the sidewalk.
Emily was clenching her fist and teeth as the sales woman was talking to her asking what colour the rooms were what kind of look she wanted.
"I just want black" Emily repeated for the fifth time.
"Unless the room is dark it'll look tacky."
"The rooms are dark."
"Well alright then." Emily inhaled and resisted the urge to hit this woman as she led her over to a shelf. "Do you need any more help?"
"No."
"Alright, if you do just ask" the woman walked away.
"I didn't ask it your help to begin with" Emily growled to herself. She grabbed two packages and headed to the check out.
Once outside Emily let out a sigh. 'I'm sighing a lot today I need a distraction.' The rain was letting up a bit but an umbrella was still required.
When she got home she didn't even bother putting the curtains up and just collapsed on her couch. 'I'll put them up later' she thought.
Emily ended up falling asleep on her couch. She sat up and looked out the window and saw it was still raining but it had gotten dark.
"How long was I asleep?" She looked at the clock on the shelf. "11:30…" Emily rubbed a hand over her face. Her stomach started grumbling, she had only eaten breakfast. She got up and went to the kitchen to make herself something to eat.
After eating she grabbed the new curtains and put then up in the living room. She then took the second one and went into her room and put that one up. She kept them open and went over to her dresser to take off her pants and shirt before falling into bed.
Sorry it was short… I'm out of ideas. Still looking for co-writer.
