Why Me?
Hey everyone, ya sorry for the not updating soon or ending the story, but thanks to Probe and Graci Satchell not to mention Invader Abigail I finally have an idea, I might rewrite this chapter later but I'll just leave it like this for now unless someone complains. BTW I am changing the formatting of the other chapters O.K now on with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters at all or anything that sounds as if you've heard before.
Chapter 3
Bruce hid in the dark closet, breathing heavily as beads of sweat slowly fell down his face. He heard footsteps and forced himself to take slow and steady breaths.
He was the last one; the others either were hit or gave up under pressure. The cans of paint started to shake softly on the shelves as he quickly scrambled to the side of the door. He was going to make it out alive one way or another.
He was supposed to make it to the monitor room and shut down this plan once and for all. That was their plan until they got caught and taken captive. The door swung open and he sucked in a sharp breathe. The eyes squinted and looked around the closet noticing the cans of paint immediately walked to it. Seeing it was his chance he slipped out as quietly as he could.
The monitor room was only a few doors away.
He looked back and saw him rummaging thru the closet. He closed the door and dashed to the sanctuary. Just a few more steps.
Bruce saw him running after him gaining speed with each step he took. His breathe became ragged and heavy as he forced himself to run faster. He made a sharp turn and the man slipped by the door.
"NOO!" The man yelled as he grabbed the flag.
"I win." Bruce smiled.
What you didn't think he was in danger did you?
"That's the fourth time you won hide and seek." GL huffed.
"I will not lose, I am-!"
"A show off?" Hawk girl smiled.
"Well I was going to say the great Bruce but that works too." He smiled leading the others to chuckle.
"Hey Guys." Superman called grabbing their attention. "Come here, you too Bruce."
Bruce looked at the others curiously but reluctantly followed. He looked at the monitor and saw a very familiar face.
"Alfred." He smiled.
"M-Master Bruce what happened." Alfred sputtered.
"I don't know." He answered.
"Ehehe It was a Morgan le Fay." Superman said.
"Morgan la who?" Bruce's face scrunched up in confusion looking up at Superman.
Before he was able to answer a couple of voices sang in a chorus.
"ALFRED!" they yelled.
Bruce's head shot up in confusion.
"You brought friends over?" Confusion leaked in his voice.
Alfred had a sweat drop falling down his hair.
"Hey Alfred where's Bruce I haven't seen him since Christmas day?" One of the boys' asked.
Bruce felt a sudden dread come over him at the reminder of Christmas. He looked down for a quick second then hid his sorrow with confusion when he looked back up.
"Ya Alfred I want to see the old man." One of the boy's joked humorously.
"You two are so immature." A girl was heard.
"Um Alfred who are they?" Bruce asked.
The three no four kids suddenly went up to the monitor making Bruce fall back.
"He adopted another kid…Seriously come on!" the eldest boy yelled.
"You have to admit he is kinda cute." The girl giggled.
"Oh brother." The youngest groaned.
"Master Richard, Master Jason, Master Timothy, Miss Gordon, this is Master Bruce." Alfred said making the other look at him in shock.
"No way had he got a kid named after him that is low even for him." The boy presumed as Jason yelled.
"That is Him you dork." Tim yelled.
"Shut up Tim, I was being sarcastic." The boy seethed.
"QUIT IT!" Richard yelled Making Bruce Flinch back.
"Sorry 'bout that Bruce." Richard laughed nervously then it hit him. "NO WAY WAS HE THIS SCARRED AS A KID!"
He fell on the floor with laughter Jason and Tim following soon after.
"Sorry about them Bruce, Their immature." Barbra forced a chuckle.
"Um are they going to be Ok?" He asked arching up as if he could see them through the monitor.
"We'll be fine, Hey Can you guys beam us up?" Richard smiled jumping up.
"Ya Please." Tim pleaded.
"Come on it'll be Fun!" Jason let out a cheesy grin.
"Ok!" Flash smiled pressing a button.
"Flash NO!" Diana yelled but it was already too late.
The four teens beamed up and Bruce was in the arms of Richard in no time flat.
"Hey Bruce long time no see." Richard smiled evilly.
"Uuuhh I don't remember meeting you before." Bruce answered truthfully despite the fact he was extremely scarred right now.
"Come on quit joking we all know this is an act." Tim laughed.
Bruce looked at him in confusion.
"I thought we were playing Hide and seek not An Act." Bruce was talking to Green Lantern.
"Come on Bruce we all know you want to mess with us but seriously." Jason complained and Bruce looked at him.
His heart stopped dead as he noticed the guns on his belt, he remembered their screams and the blood that spewed from their bodies.
He jumped out of Richards arm and dashed behind Diana quaking in fear as tears were at the verge of falling.
"What did I say?' Jason asked.
"Bruce?" Barbra knelt down to make eye contact with Bruce but he just tried to keep himself hidden.
"Bruce it's ok I won't hurt you." Barbra said soothingly. "I won't hurt you."
Bruce looked at her; the tears were flowing down his face slowly as he remembered the horrid night. She smiled softly feeling Pity turn in her stomach.
"Richard, Tim, and Jason are being jerks Bruce." She turned to glare at them and her eyes softened at Bruce once again. "I can punish them later, but are you ok?"
He nodded slowly as if unsure he could trust her.
They all watched with fascination as Barbra kept calm and steady on such a delicate problem.
Green lantern shook his head and looked at the monitor noticing it was past eight thirty, Past Bruce's bedtime.
"Time for Bed Bruce." He announced causing the three boys to look at him in shock.
Bruce pouted slightly but nodded in agreement as he felt his eyes begin to drop letting a small yawn escape his lips.
Diana chuckled.
"I'll take him to bed he seems more comfortable with me around." She scooped him up in her arms and flew out of the room.
"That was unexpected." Tim was the first to speak mouth and eyes open in disbelief.
"He's still a kid and kids, whether their Batman or not need rest and must be taken care of with love and compassion, not teasing and making him cry." Barbra seethed.
"Hey I didn't know Bruce was that good of an actor?' Jason countered.
"RIGHT, I forgot to tell you his memory was erased so he's super sensitive about everything, the kid had nightmares since the day he lost all memory, he actually Fainted in front of a group of superheroes and…Well that's pretty much it." Flash replied nervously and made sure to leave out 'Evil Bruce'.
"WHAT!" They yelled.
"Ya even if Batman hadn't lost his memory he still would have been super sensitive despite the fact he's Batman." Barbra was still seething.
"Shit we are fucking dead." Jason yelped as Barbra got a hold of their arms and dragged them to the teleporter.
Superman quickly typed in the coordinates as they beamed out of there.
"Great we could be dealing with a crying Bruce right now." Shayera sighed. "Come on he likes it when we wish him goodnight."
The others followed as they quickened their pace to reach Diana's room where Bruce would be sleeping. Shayera knocked on the door softly afraid that it might scare Bruce if she knocked to hard. The door opened slowly meaning Diana choose to fly rather than walk.
"Come on in he was just asking for you anyway." Diana smiled as they entered.
They entered to see Bruce lying on the bed, covered under the sheets, and his eyes dropping slightly.
"Goodnight squirt." Flash smiled ruffling his hair.
"Goodnight Flash." Bruce replied.
"Goodnight Bruce." J'ohn and Superman said with a smiled.
"Goodnight J'ohn, goodnight Superman." He yawned rubbing his eyes tiredly.
The three boys left leaving the three other heroes with Bruce.
"Goodnight, Show off." John chuckled earning a small smile from Bruce.
"Goodnight GL." Bruce stuck his tongue out motioning he also meant loser.
John chuckled again and left alone the two girls.
"Goodnight my little Bruce, I'll see you in the morning." Shayera lightly pecked his forehead,
"Goodnight Shayera." He smiled.
She caressed his cheek one last time before leaving.
"Goodnight my little knight." Diana smiled as she snuggled up next to him.
"Goodnight Diana." He yawned before drifting off to sleep.
I'm sorry I couldn't help with this cheesy stuff plus I wrote this on writers block so it is crappy, short and I know I didn't add the Previously on why me stuff but I was honestly too tired to do so I won't add that anymore. So Bye have a beautiful night...or day…or afternoon. Anyways Bye Bye.
