I had some spare time the last couple of days so I spent it on the story. Going to post 7 and do as much as I can with chapter 8 things should slow down again soon.


Two hours later Ali and Amy were working late at the empty club both working on new dance moves for more shows. "I have a sketch of a costume that would go well with this routine, let me go get it." Amy spoke as she walked off to the back of the stage to her makeup table. She opens a drawer and picks up a folded up piece of paper.

Ali was practicing the new moves when she hears someone walking up to the stage she looked up to see who it was. She felt a strong sinking feeling in her stomach, fear shot through her as her eyes met up with the Joker's eyes that held evil intent. "What d…do you want?" Ali's body began to tremble in fear.

The Joker continued to walk up to the stage, he hops up onto it and walked around closely behind Ali his arm moves around her brandishing a small knife. "Darling, we were so rudely interrupted the last time we met, we have unfinished business."

Ali gasped, seeing the knife, there was without a doubt in her mind of what was going to happen to her, she couldn't stop him. Oh how she wished Batman or the police was here right now. "Please don't do this." Ali whispered.

The Joker brought his lips close to her ear. "Sweetheart, I'll do what I want, and when I want. Finally you are all mine and Batman is far too busy on the other side of Gotham, fighting off my thugs who are creating a bit of chaos."

Amy was about to go back out onto the stage when she saw the Joker standing there behind her friend with a knife inches away from her face. Amy felt fear racing through her, and her heart began to race as she frantically began to think of what to do. Amy slowly backs away, once she felt safe that the Joker couldn't hear or see her, she rushes to get her purse, then she heads out the back door making sure it closes quietly behind her. Taking her cell phone out of her purse, she immediately dials Gotham PD hoping to get in touch with Jim Gordon.

"Hello, Gotham PD." A pleasant woman's voice is heard.

"I need to speak with Jim Gordon, it's really urgent." Amy responded.

"Jim Gordon is busy at the moment, if this is an emergency please hang up and dial 911." The woman responded with a firm tone.

Amy started to feel a bit panicked; she started to walk towards the police station. "Look Jim Gordon will want to hear what I have to say, this is not for 911." Amy knew that Jim Gordon had direct contact with Batman and that was who they needed right now.

"Jim Gordon is busy at the moment, if this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 911." The woman responded with a firm at the club Ali is still in the clutches of The Joker. "You are mine now and I'm going to make sure that you and Batman know that." The Joker laughed, he was no longer making this as getting information for Maroni he wanted the Batman. "Start walking." The Joker growled.

Ali continued to tremble as she took a step forward. "Fine just please don't hurt me."

"No need to hurt such a pretty thing, as long as she does as she's told." The Joker held her tight in his arm till they got to the edge of the stage; he pushes Ali hard she flies forward into the waiting hands of some thugs.

Ali suddenly felt her wrists being bound and a black hood is placed over her head. All she could think of was where was Amy? She hoped that her friend was safe and that she didn't get caught as well.


On the other side of Gotham, Batman and Nightwing were busily fighting off the Joker's goons, Richard is able to pause from the fighting. "Strange that all of the Joker's men are here and no sign of the Joker himself."

Batman had thought the same thing as his fist meets up with a thug's face sending him down to the ground. "Where was Ali and Amy when you left them?"

Richard sidekicks a thug running toward him with a knife in hand. "Back at the club, Ali let me go early; she and Amy are working late."

Batman takes down the last thug and kicks a gun out of his hand. "We need to go to the club now, something doesn't feel right."


Amy was lost in knowing what to do, then she thought of Alfred he might have a way of contacting Jim. Amy dials Alfred's number; she impatiently waits while she hears the ringing on the other end.

Alfred. "Hello, Amy?"

Amy quickly lets out a breath. "Alfred there is trouble at the club, the Joker has Ali."

"Where are you?" Alfred asked Amy.

"I'm in the Alley of the club going to the sidewalk." Amy responded.

Alfred listened to Amy then responds. "Find someplace safe to go, then call me I'll come pick you up."

After hanging up with Amy Alfred immediately calls Batman's cell phone. "Alfred what's up?" Batman's gruff voice is heard.

"Sir there is trouble at Ali's club; Amy just called to let me know that the Joker has Ali." Alfred feared for Ali, he remembers all too well what happened to Rachel, this would destroy Bruce if anything were to happen to this woman. "I will be going to get Amy soon as she calls me from a safe place."

Batman felt a surge of anger race through him, he had to calm himself down enough to respond. "I'm on my way to the club now, contact Jim Gordon let him know what is going on. Did Amy sound okay?"

"Yes, sir she sounded okay, just shaken." Alfred responded, ending the conversation and hanging up with Batman.

Nightwing saw the angered look on Batman's face. "What's going on?" Richard feared the worst.

"The Joker took Ali at the club; Amy contacted Alfred and gave him the details." Batman started towards the Bat Tumbler.

Nightwing rushes out in front of Batman. "Wait; don't do this alone your too close to this."

Batman pushes Nightwing out of the way. "Don't have time to debate this Nightwing, have to get Ali back."

Nightwing suddenly tackles Batman to the ground; Batman quickly recovers taking a swing at Nightwing. "What is wrong with you?" Batman shouted at Nightwing.

"You are too close to this, you are not thinking straight and it could get Ali killed. Let me lead Ali's rescue the Joker won't be expecting two of us, we can catch him off guard." Nightwing explained, he knew that Batman was thinking more like Bruce Wayne rather than Batman.

Batman pushes Nightwing back. "Nightwing! It's Ali I need to get her out of the clutches of the Joker."

Nightwing wouldn't back down he stands in Batman's way again. "We were partners at one time, have I ever let you down? I have become more skilled since then, trust me, I want to get Ali back as much as you I know what she means to you."

Batman pauses a moment to think about what Nightwing just said, he nods. "Fine, you're right, I have trusted you, but it's the Joker you don't know him like I do." Batman realized he was thinking more like Bruce Wayne he needed to be Batman and if he knew that Nightwing was rescuing Ali he could focus on getting the Joker.

Nightwing took in a breath of relief. "Do you know where the Joker might be keeping her? A secret hideout or some place?"

Batman thought about it then remembered. "Wait, I almost forgot I have been tracking Ali since I first met her, there is a tracking app on her cell phone if she has it with her we can find her that way."


Ali heard the van entering a large area the engine echoed inside and she heard a large door being opened to let them in. Soon the sliding door to the van is opened and she is taken out of the van she is sat down onto a chair and the hood is removed from her head. Ali quickly looks around, but her view is cut off by the Joker, who comes face to face with her. "Enjoy the ride princess?"

Ali wanted to call the Joker every name in the book and spit in his face, she knew her safety relied on her being co-operative until help arrived. "The ride was fine." Ali responded with hatred to the Joker.

The Joker smiles. "Ahh no need for that we are about to have some fun." The Joker unbinds Ali and pulls her up off her chair. "Music boys."

Ali was surprised when the Joker untied her hands but was quickly swept off her chair and into his arms, when the music started he takes her hand in his and began to dance with her, one of the thugs began to roll a camera. "What are you doing?" Ali asked.

"Sending a little message to your new friend." The Joker looks at the camera. "Remember your little friend that you went out of your way to save? Well she's with me now, and as you can see we are having a great time together." The Joker spins Ali around. "Guess she wanted to trade up." The Joker laughed and grabbed Ali's hair. "Smile for me darling!"

Ali's eyes closed tightly shut when the Joker suddenly grabbed the back of her hair, tugging it hard he forced her to look at the camera. She does her best to smile, but it would be evident to Batman she wasn't having any fun. Ali forgot she had her cell phone in her back pocket and the Joker's thugs failed to search her for anything.

"If you want to see her again, take off that mask and show us who you really are. Or I will let this pretty young thing see one of my fireworks up close." The Joker threatened. "You have three hours." The Joker has the video streamed all over Gotham.


Batman was in the tumbler he typed in the passcode to Ali's phone, he prayed she had it with her. The tracking device locates an abandoned warehouse down at the waterfront, just then the video that the Joker made flickers on the small screen in the tumbler. After watching it Batman felt another rage race through him, he wanted to put the Joker away for good. He was relieved that Ali had her phone with her.

Ali was locked inside of an abandoned office the door closes she hears the lock sliding into place, there were no windows to get out of. There was an air vent, it was too high up for her to reach Ali looks around the room to find something to stand on, the desk was the only thing she could use but they would hear her dragging it across the room. "I can show Batman that I can take care of myself." Ali thought to herself. Ali looks around through cupboards, finding nothing to help; she opens a closet door and found old cleaning rags. A half smile crosses her face, she grabs the rags and began placing them under the legs of the desk, and the rags would cover the sounds while she pushed the desk under the air vent.

Meantime Batman and Nightwing were closing in on the warehouse traveling at a high speed. Batman was keeping his temper under control. He knew that he couldn't show the Joker how much he cared for Ali like he did with Rachel. Once they reach the warehouse Batman and Nightwing meet before going inside. "I'll get Ali; you take care of the Joker." Nightwing spoke.

Batman looked at the warehouse his eyes narrowed as he nodded in agreement. He wanted the Joker badly. "Bring her to the bat tumbler, and make sure she stays." Batman was not in the mood for any silly run arounds not this night. Batman hands Nightwing his cell phone. "You can use this to track where she is."

Nightwing takes another look at Batman's cell phone to see exactly where Ali was the only way he could get in undetected was by going through the air vent. Batman takes a more forward approach by blowing up the door to the warehouse. Joker's thugs watch the door with machine guns cocked and ready to fire at any signs of anything moving. The Joker looks at the office door where Ali was being held he starts walking in the direction of the door when suddenly he see's nothing but stars from a blow to the head comes out of nowhere. The Joker began to laugh, he had a shocked look on his face, he couldn't figure out how Batman found him so quickly. "Well, what took you so long?"

Nightwing pulled the cover to the air vent off and started to crawl through the small metal tunnel. He could hear Batman taking care of the Joker and began to move faster to find Ali. He stops a moment and heard other noises that were not coming from the room beside him.

Ali had climbed up onto the desk to find the covering had screws holding it in place. "Dammit." She muttered softly. Ali jumped down from the desk to search for something to loosen the screws with when all of a sudden she hears a loud banging noise coming from the direction of the vent then a clang as the covering falls on top of the desk. Ali spun around to look at what was happening. "Who's there?"

Nightwing pokes his head out from the hole. "Hi, I'm Nightwing and I'm going to be your rescuer tonight."

Ali let's out a breath. "I don't need rescuing I was just about there."

Nightwing grinned looking at what she had accomplished. "I can see that, smart thinking on your part but right now I need to get you out of here."

Ali spun around hearing guns firing in the next room. "He's here isn't he?"

"Batman? Yeah he's here and still need to get you out of here." Nightwing was holding out his hand to coax Ali to get moving.

Ali looks back at Nightwing. "Okay, Okay I'm coming." Ali got up on the desk with the help of Nightwing she is pulled up into the air vent. Ali began following Nightwing. "By the way, how did he find me?"

Nightwing swallowed, he assumed Ali didn't know about the phone tracking. "That is something you'll have to ask him." Nightwing wasn't going to be the first guy she yells at about the whole thing, and perhaps Batman will never tell her.

"Oh really? Well I will then." Ali and Nightwing reached the other end of the vent that takes them outside of the building. Nightwing helps her down.

"Batman knows the Joker very well he just took a guess at where he would be and got lucky." Nightwing was covering for his partner. He pushes a button on a device that Batman gave him and the top of the Bat Tumbler slides open. "You are to wait inside, do not run off this would not be a good time to pull one of your pranks on Batman."

Ali rolled her eyes. "Oh believe me this is the only place I want to be right now." Ali is helped inside by Nightwing.

"Good." Nightwing spoke and has the door shut over Ali's head, soon as she was safe he rushes in to help Batman to find Batman beating the Joker. Nightwing rushes over and pushes Batman off of The Joker. "Stop! It's not worth it." Nightwing spoke to his friend.

Batman looked down at The Joker his face was bloodied, his thugs were also seen knocked out on the floor, but The Joker took the worst of it. Batman shook his head and breathed trying to calm himself down. He didn't mean to take it this far, he looks at Nightwing. "Is she safe?"

Nightwing nodded. "She's inside the tumbler as we speak."

Batman takes his cell phone back from Nightwing and makes a call to Jim Gordon, letting him know what has happened and that The Joker and his thugs needed to be taken into custody. Batman and Nightwing secure The Joker and his thugs so that they would be still there when the police got there. Once they were both satisfied that nobody was going to be leaving Batman and Nightwing exit the warehouse.

"Gonna do a little more patrolling." Nightwing stated he wanted to stay out a little longer.

Batman nodded. "I'll take care of Ali, you be careful out there."

"Will do." Nightwing responded and sped off on the bat pod.

Ali sat waiting patiently for Batman to show up till suddenly she felt herself lifting upwards as the door to the bat tumbler opened from above. Suddenly Batman was sitting beside her, he quickly looked her over. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" Batman wanted to pull Ali over onto his lap and give her a hug.

Ali shook her head. "No I'm fine, and I would have gotten out too before your friend showed up." Ali explains what she had done with the desk. The door closes over their heads. "Everything was going great till I got screwed with the vent cover." Ali closed her eyes, realizing what she just said and couldn't help but to chuckle.

Even Batman couldn't help but to smile at what she said. "At least you've kept your sense of humor." The tumbler started down a dark road towards the city. "You shouldn't be alone tonight you could still be in shock."

Ali looks at Batman. "I really want to go home and get out of these close and take a shower, I feel filthy after that man had his hands on me."

Batman suddenly stops the Tumbler and gave Ali a serious look. "He or his thugs didn't touch you, did they?"

Ali looked back at Batman finding his concern for her was sweet but a little over the top with stopping the Tumbler. "Nobody touched me other than the Joker to dance with me, which was enough. I just have an urge to shower. Please just take me home."

Batman wanted to take her back to the manor that should be her home, but he reluctantly takes her back to the hotel, before helping her out he says. "I really wish you would go somewhere for the night."

Ali accepts his help in getting out of the tumbler once on the sidewalk she responds. "I'm fine, I promise that I am all I need is a shower."

Batman stood watching Ali going inside of the Hotel once she disappeared inside of the elevator, he turned and hopped back inside of the tumbler to head back to the cave letting Nightwing deal with the city for tonight. It was getting tougher, not letting Ali know who he was the time was closing in on him to reveal his secret to her. How she would handle it had him worried, if she left him because of it he would be devastated.


Once in her hotel room Ali went into the bathroom, she quickly removed her clothes turned on the shower standing there under the water stream she was feeling so much better than she was before she went into the shower. Ali almost wished she had gone to the manor now; it wasn't too late to change her mind, she could call Alfred the thought of it seemed like a very good idea. Once out of the shower Ali searches for her phone, she forgot that she had it in her back pocket. Then she had a dumb feeling wash over her, she could have called for help if she had remembered that she had it on her. First Ali calls Amy, she knew her friend would be worried sick.

"Ali, are you alright!?" The sound of Amy's voice is heard on the other end.

Ali sat down on the corner of her bed. "Yes, I'm fine Batman and his friend helped me out."

Ali frowns. "A friend? Who was this friend?"

"I don't know he called himself Nightwing." Ali had no idea till that night that Batman had a partner. "Where are you?" Ali asked her friend out of curiosity.

"I'm at the Wayne Manor, why aren't you here?" Amy asked.

Ali laid back on her bed. "I had Batman bring me home I needed a shower in the worst way. I was going to call Alfred after I got off the phone with you to have him bring me there."

Amy looked up from the couch where she was sitting Bruce just entered, he had a worried look on his face. "I'm talking to Ali she's fine and wants to come to the manor."

Bruce gave a relieved look. "Don't worry about this one Alfred, I'll get her." Bruce was quick to turn and leave.

Amy smiled. "Someone is coming to get you." Amy wasn't going to say who.

Ali frowned at Amy's vague response of who was coming to get her, she assumed it was Alfred and didn't question her. "I need to go, have to get dressed I'm still in a towel."

Amy smirked and thought. "Oh, I'm sure he won't mind." Amy had to pull herself together a little before answering. "Okay Ali will see you in a bit."


Bruce took the Lamborghini so that he could get to her faster, if only she had just come with him in the first place, it would have meant telling Ali about his secret. He worried a lot about it, he knew that it couldn't be put off much longer. Bruce finally arrives at Ali's hotel he parks in front of the door and walks inside seeing a pizza delivery boy arguing with the front desk manager.

"But it says here room 114. Someone must have ordered this." The delivery guy was hoping this wasn't another prank call from an ex-employee who had it in for Gotham Pizza.

Bruce stopped to listen in on what was going on.

The manager shrugs. "Look kid, it's not my problem there is nobody in room 114. Looks like you have been duped."

"What kind of pizza is it?" Bruce asked.

The delivery guy opens the pizza box to show Bruce. "It's the meat lover's pizza extra-large."

Bruce reaches inside his jacket pocket for his wallet he opened it and took out a $100 bill and hands it to the delivery guy. "Here, keep the change." Bruce was feeling a little hungry, he wasn't sure about Ali but once she smelt this that might change.

The delivery guy blinks at Bruce and smiles. "Thank you! Bruce Wayne right?"

Bruce smiled at the delivery guy. "You can just call me Bruce." Bruce looks at the manager. "I'm here to see Ali."

The building manager nodded, he didn't need to question Bruce's intentions to be visiting anyone in his hotel. He nods and continues doing his work behind the desk, the pizza delivery guy had already left.

Ali changed into a dress not knowing why she just felt like making herself look nice for Bruce, she hears a knock at her door, that's odd she usually gets a call letting her know that her ride was here. Ali walked up to the door and looked out the peek hole and smiled seeing Bruce standing there. Ali quickly opens the door and looks at the pizza box. "You brought pizza too?"

"Thought you might be hungry." Bruce answered as he walked into her room, Bruce places the pizza box on the small table and turned to reach out both arms to take Ali into them.

Ali stepped into his arms and she wrapped her arms around him in turn. "This has been an intense night."

Bruce smiled and kisses the top of her head. "I'm just glad that you are alright, the Joker is a cold hearted killer. You have no idea of how worried I was for you."

Bruce held Ali out from him, his eyes wander up and down at her dress. "You look lovely tonight."

Ali smiled up at Bruce. "I wanted to look nice for you."

Bruce cups Ali's face into his hands and gives her a deep kiss, breaking the kiss he responds. "You would look sexy as hell in a burlap sack."

Ali chuckled. "Well next time maybe that is what I will wear." The smell of the pizza was making her hungry. "Okay, we got to do something about that pizza its smells so good." The smell of the pizza made Ali's stomach rumble, she didn't realize just how hungry she was.

Bruce and Ali sat down at her table for some pizza after they ate Ali packs an overnight bag and left the hotel with Bruce. On their way to the manor Bruce made up his mind that before things went further between him and Ali he was going to let her in on his secret.

Ali looked at Bruce. "You seem awfully quiet, is everything alright?"

Bruce gave Ali a nod unsure of just how this night was going to end. "Have a few things on my mind, nothing to worry about." At least for now.

It felt to Ali like he was worried about something she didn't push the subject she thought maybe it was because of what happened to her with the Joker. "I wonder if they put that Joker guy away."

"For good I hope." Bruce answered rather quickly; he drives the car past the gates of the manor and into the car garage.


Inside the manor Amy rushes up to Ali and gave her friend a tight hug. "Oh I'm so glad that you are alright."

Off on the other side of the room Bruce whispers quietly to Alfred. "I'm going to tell Ali about my secret tonight. I worry she may not like what she finds out."

Alfred quickly looked over at Ali and Amy talking up a storm then turned his attention to Bruce. "Ali is going to be the woman for you, I just know it. If she needs it give her time to adjust to the news she's been through a lot tonight, sir."

Just then Richard walks into the front foyer of the manor where everyone stood. "Well Bruce looks like you got a party started here." Richard walked up to Ali and Amy, he looks at Ali. "Are you alright? I heard what happened at the club."

Ali nods. "I'm fine thanks to Batman and his friend."

Amy looked at Ali. "Oh right you told me he had a partner, Nightwing wasn't it?"

"I was almost out of that place myself when he showed up; I think I could have done it myself." Ali explained.

Richard smirked, she was right, she was half way there he just wasn't sure how she was going to cope with the covering on the air vent. "Well the main thing is that you are safe."

Bruce walked up to the small group. "I have to agree, things could have gone a lot differently tonight." Bruce holds out his arm to Ali. "Ali, could I speak to you alone for a minute?"

Amy chuckles. "Oh, you two can have more than a minute take the whole night if you need." Amy wanted the magic to happen between her friend and Bruce.

Richard was amused by Amy's need to keep Bruce and Ali together alone for as long as they can. He turns his attention to Amy. "How about you and I go sit in the living room and have a drink."

Amy smiles warmly at Richard. "I would like that very much." Amy looks back at Bruce and Ali. "You two don't rush back…well don't rush at all if I don't see you two tomorrow even better."

Both Bruce and Ali laugh at Amy, Ali had her arm around Bruce's arm Ali secretly wanted this night to be her and Bruce's first night of really being together. Ali walks with Bruce to another room with a piano in it. Bruce looked at Ali. "There is something you need to know before we go any further in our relationship."

Ali looked at Bruce. "Oh please don't tell me you have a dead wife stashed away somewhere."

Bruce gave Ali a slight smirk. "No nothing like that, never been married." Bruce's relationships never got that far Bruce plays the keys on the piano triggering the secret door to open.

Ali frowns and looks at Bruce. "Well obviously you have a secret."

"I do, let me show you." Bruce led Ali inside of the elevator, he continued to look at her to watch her expression as they descended down into the bat cave.

Ali's expression was that of shock she was more in shock of that she knew it and she was right. "This is the bat cave, why are we in the bat cave?"

Bruce takes Ali's hand and leads her off the elevator while she looks around a clear case began to rise up from the ground revealing his bat suit. "I'm Batman."

Ali looks at Bruce and a look of excitement crosses Ali's face. "I knew it!" She shouted out.

Bruce gives Ali a confused look. "How did you know?"

Ali walked inside of the cave a little further looking around. "Oh come on, only someone with a lot of money could afford all of this, and the toys you use for crime fighting. You own a huge business that has everything at your fingertips that one could ever need to fight crime." Ali turns and gives Bruce a stern look. "And that kiss in my apartment is that something Batman goes around doing?"

Bruce almost laughed. "No, you are the first and only woman I will ever kiss while being Batman. I don't know why it is but you have me breaking my own rules." Bruce knew that he wanted to break a few more with her. "Well what do you think?" Bruce asked while he sat down in the chair that was in front of his computers.

Ali walked up to Bruce and sat down on his lap. "I think that you are crazy for what you do, but I know you have a really good reason or you just have the biggest heart in Gotham. Is this what has been bothering you tonight?"

Bruce nods. "After you were safe from the Joker I knew the time was coming that I was going to have to tell you about my secret. I mostly fear that you may not accept my double life and leave."

Ali looked into Bruce's eyes she could see his worry. "Bruce the way I see it there are wives out there who has husbands for soldiers and a few of them are not returning home from war. Knowing what you do out there is not much difference you risk your life for others you are like a one man army…well two with your friend here now. I have my own secret to tell you, I have fallen in love with you and I want to know where this will all lead us."

Bruce felt a sudden warmth rush over him from her words, he wraps his arms around Ali and held her firmly against him. "I hope that you still feel this way in months to come, I have lost relationships over this."

Ali lifts her head up to give Bruce a kiss. "Well you had better be ready for this, because you won't be rid of me so easily." Ali giggles a little. "I can't believe my new boyfriend is Batman."

Bruce chuckles with her. "And you are you going to tell?" Bruce spoke, giving her a hard look.

Ali continued to smile. "Nobody." Ali sighs. "Do you know how much that is going to suck?"

Bruce nuzzles Ali's neck. "I do, but you have to keep this a secret. I know that I am asking a lot of you, but I promise to make it worth your while." Bruce kisses Ali on the lips again. "So now that you know that your boyfriend is Batman does that mean you'll go easier on him?"

Ali narrows her eyes at Bruce. "Oh hell no, if I do that then Amy would get suspicious sorry honey, but the games will continue."

"Just be careful or I may come good on my threat and turn you over my knee." Bruce taunted, and began to turn her around.

Ali laughs and squirms her way hard out of Bruce's arms, and pulls away from him. "Oh uh no." Ali makes a dash for the elevator.

Bruce was right behind her, once the elevator door was closed Bruce wraps his arms around Ali and whisper's in a deep voice into her ear. "You think you can get away from me? Ali, I can come at you from anywhere, any time and place and you won't see me coming."

Ali turns herself around in Bruce's arms. "Wait, you wouldn't come after me as Batman would you?"

"It's when I'm at my best Ali, I can't come at you through the daytime you'd see me and ruin the surprise." Bruce was beginning to like this little game. "Your safe places are your club, Hotel room and of course if you are riding in a vehicle." Bruce was doing this to try and keep Ali off the streets as much as possible by adding a bit of fun with it.

Ali felt excitement mixed with a forbidden thrill rush over her body, this was against his nature as Batman but why was he doing this? She wondered. "Okay, bring it on but I have to warn you I won't be easy prey. Also I want the manor as another safe zone."

The door to the elevator opens Bruce smiles down at Ali. "Good, I hope you won't be, and done." Ali and Bruce walk up to the second level of the house.

Bruce is about to go his separate way when Ali catches his hand. "Stay with me tonight."

Bruce takes both of Ali's hands into his. "Are you sure?"

Ali slowly nods. "I don't want to be alone tonight and I would really enjoy your company." Ali wanted more only she wasn't sure if Bruce did too, or was he just trying to be a gentleman? Bruce opens Ali's bedroom door and waits for her to walk inside first he closes and locks the door behind him.

Bruce gently places his hands on Ali's shoulder and turns her around, he leans down to kiss her. Their mouths explore one another with their lips and tongues. Excitement and heat spread throughout their bodies Bruce reluctantly pulled his mouth away. Bruce looked at her with passion in her eyes, he kisses her again and in a breathless tone he says to her. "Are you sure Ali?"

Ali was more than sure she nods. "I am very sure." Ali was trying to contain her desire to have him, she didn't want to come off as being too eager. Ali frees her arms from the sleeves of her dress Bruce pulls Ali's dress down to the floor and around her ankles; she lifts up each foot allowing him to pull the dress free from her. Bruce stood back up and removed his shirt while Ali removes her bra clothing at this point felt unbearably confining. She reaches down and removes her panties now standing completely naked in front of Bruce.

Bruce removed the rest of his clothing, his eyes drank in the beauty of Ali he walked over to her and swept her, weightless, into his arms and carries her over to the bed and gently laid her down on her back. While his hands moved over her heated skin his eyes devoured her. Lying beside him, Ali seemed tiny but he knew that inside that tiny body there was tremendous strength and energy. Bruce found Ali to be intoxicatingly beautiful to look at, and incredibly arousing. Ali's body trembled as he brushed his lips and the tips of his fingers over her skin, the awareness of her arousal increased his own.

Ali watched Bruce intently as his eyes looked her over she could tell that he was appreciative of what he saw. His hand glides back up her leg, his thumb caresses the inside of her thigh, his hand floated over the surface of her skin, barely making contact, her body shivered wherever he touched her.

The sensations she felt were overwhelming, she couldn't think, not that she wanted to think all she wanted was to feel, and want. Bruce seemed intent on kissing every last inch of her skin, and her body seemed to be moving of its own accord, lifting to push against his hands. Ali moves her hands along his shoulders and tightened in his hair. Using his lips, Bruce continued his slow exploration of her body, until he found her mouth again, he kisses her hungrily, and he rolls to his side pulling her against him. Ali's body was feeling like it was on fire as her breasts pressed against his chest, skin molded onto skin.

Bruce felt himself becoming erect as he tightened his arms around her, crushing her against him. Their mouths locked, hearts were pounding together, barely able to tell where one body ended and the other began. Ali's hand began to explore Bruce's body, she marvelled at how strong he felt under her exploring fingers. Her fingers explored further, lightly moving over his erect penis. Ali felt Bruce tremble in response, and he rolled over pinning her beneath him.

Ali's body welcomed the feeling of his weight against her, she let out a shuddering sigh, and they kissed again, this time desperately. Bruce suddenly breaks the kiss and lifted himself on his elbows, concentrating his weight on her lower body, Ali's head jerked back; she arches her back as she felt his pelvis pressing against hers.

Bruce's hands move up and down over her breasts, stroking them rhythmically with a steady pressure, and she felt her nipples respond to the stimulation, they became very hard, so sensitive, that they ached as if they were begging for his attention. The ache washed over her body, concentrating itself between her legs, and she moved them apart, barely conscious of what she was doing.

Ali could hardly breathe she was so overwhelmed by the sensation. Ali never though she could experience such an intense need; never imagined it was possible to want someone so badly as she did now. They kiss again their mouths locked as his arms went around her, holding her body so tightly against him that he seemed to become a part of her. Ali tilted her hips, lifting her pelvis toward him.

Bruce's penis was hard against her thigh, Ali heard him groan as he moved his hips, seemingly about to enter her, but instead, he pulls himself back, and let her go, Ali almost cried in frustration. Bruce rolls off of Ali and lies back beside her. "Ali," Bruce gasped for air, "Ali, wait. Try to slow down a little. I don't want to rush our first night together. I don't want it to be over too fast."

Ali tried to focus on what Bruce just said and she tried to slow her breathing, once they were both breathing normally again Bruce gently takes Ali back into his arms, saying, "Don't move. Just let me hold you for a while."

Ali looked at Bruce. "I'm sorry if I was being too forward."

"No, Ali, no, don't apologize." Bruce protested he lifted her face to his and made her meet his eyes. "You were not being too forward, I wanted you too, the problem is that what you were doing felt too, right I just want to make this night as good for you as possible. I don't want to have any bad memories of our first time together. I don't want this to be over before you've had a chance to…to be completely satisfied."

Ali softly kisses Bruce's chest, sliding her arm along his shoulder and then around his neck, Ali was very moved and touched by his concern for her pleasures. "So," Ali whispered. "What do we do now?"

Bruce smiled and kisses her before answering his hand slid down her side, caressing her, his fingers moving lightly over her skin to the small of her back, feeling her body stiffen as his fingers traced her spine to its end, slipping between her hips. "Well, no we get back to what we were doing before; only take it a little more slowly so that I can figure out what really pleases you."

Ali's breathing began to quicken again she gave Brue an amused look. "And how do you determine that? Why don't you just ask me?"

"Because I'm an explorer at heart," he answered, rolling Ali over onto her back again. "I love to discover things for myself." Bruce grinned as he continued. "And I absolutely hate to leave anything uninvestigated it's my nature."

Ali knew that Bruce was going to be an intense lover but never thought it would be this intense. Bruce lays beside her, propping himself on his elbow, studying her face. As she returned his gaze, Ali's eyes were the most eloquent eyes, he ever known, and made so much apparent—her desire and anticipation, tinged with anxiety because she wasn't sure of what to expect, but above all else she had complete faith in him.

"I love you, Ali," he told her seriously, hoping she could see how much he meant it; how hard he intended to try to make sure her trust in him was never disappointed.

Bruce slid his hand underneath Ali's head and lifted her toward him to kiss her lips at first gently then becoming more demanding as she responded. He could feel her body becoming more aroused her hand was on the back of his neck pulling him harder into the kiss. Bruce moves his own hand down her body, reawakening her desire; he teases her nipples till they were hard under his fingers. Breaking the kiss with Ali he replaces his lips where his fingers were. His hand continued down over her stomach, he rests his hand on the tuft of her hair covering her pubic bone. He felt Ali's body stiffen and tremble as he presses the heel of his hand against her, he slowly slips his fingers between her legs, teasing through the tangle of hair, seeking and finding the wetness there.

His touch was incredible Ali gasps, his name as she felt him, stroking her with slippery fingers, and gave up any pretense of self-control. Ali could no longer hold back his touch was almost unbearable, too much, and yet not enough. Each time his fingers moved, her body rocked, her spine tensed, and she groaned out knowing she would die if he stopped again.

Bruce seemed to know her body better than she did or at least she thought she did. He knew exactly where to touch her, and how, and for how long. Ali was surprised by her own actions, even though it wasn't her first time with a man Bruce made it feel that way. Ali wasn't sure that anything could possibly be more exciting, or give her more pleasure that she had ever felt. But she was discovering that she was wrong. Each breath she took was becoming a gasp; each exhalation, a shuddering sigh.

Bruce could no longer hold back, he wanted more than to be just touching her, he moved his body on top of hers, slipping his fingers away, he encloses his arms around her, capturing her mouth with his. Bruce uses his knee to separate her legs.

Ali parted her legs wider, lifting her own knees slightly, gripping him with her thighs not wanting him to escape this time. Bruce waited, holding his body still, doing nothing more than kissing her, giving her time to adjust to his weight.

Ali wasn't sure what was happening to her the one thing she did know was her entire body accepted him, wanted him, ached for his touch, for the joining of his body with hers.

Bruce shifts his body, and Ali felt the tip of his penis slowly pushing inside of her, Bruce was not a small man in that department and she felt an overwhelming fullness as she slid further inside of her. Bruce asks. "Am I hurting you? Do you want me to stop?"

Ali was far from being in pain, it was very hard for her to find enough breath to answer him. "Oh no, no, no, don't stop. Please don't stop." Ali reaches up and grasped his face between her hands. "I want this…I want you."

Bruce began to move deeper inside of her again he felt her body accepting him as he slid in with ease. Bruce wanted to be inside of her completely Bruce sighed in pleasure as he slid deeper inside the moist heat of her body.

Ali wanted all of him; she needed to feel him deep inside her, she wraps her legs around him trying to pull him closer. Bruce felt her legs wrapping around his body and felt her hips lifting up to meet him, he felt himself sliding into her, and gasped as she took him in completely. Ali groaned loudly in pleasure, right now everything that happened before this was completely gone all that mattered right now was Bruce pleasuring her.

Bruce lowers his face down to hers to capture her lips in a very passionate kiss, his tongue parts her lips to explore her mouth, Ali responds doing the same.

Bruce feared this moment would end too quickly he forces himself to hold still for a moment. Bruce looked down at Ali and saw her looking back at him with her passionate stare, wondering what he was doing and why did he stop? Bruce was thinking of her, of what she needed, he refused to acknowledge the urges of his own body. He leaned down to kiss her, gently, deeply, and then began to move inside of her slowly.

Ali wraps her arms around Bruce's neck while he kissed her, his slow, easy thrusting, was sending her into a new level of pleasure. Bruce was incredible and he was far more skilled of a lover than Jack was, she didn't care what Tess had to say about this one Bruce was defiantly a keeper. Ali releases her hands from around Bruce's neck and slid them down to caress the tight muscles of his shoulders and back.

Bruce's mouth moved from her mouth to her throat and shoulders, kissing, biting, sucking on her sensitive skin, Ali lost all train of thought of what she should be doing and just let herself feel what he was doing to her and how her body was responding. Bruce felt huge inside of her, filling her so completely, her hips began to rock, moving with him as he moved rhythmically inside of her; pulling back then pushing into her again.

Bruce tightly grabs her hips in his hands holding her still as he thrusts himself inside of her again. Ali cried out in pleasure as he penetrated her more deeply, and he began to move a little faster, harder, her breathing became more shallow and rapid as her pleasure intensified. Her body felt unbearably sensitive and she was acutely aware of his body moving against hers. The feeling of his chest rubbing against her breasts, her nipples aching and tender, she tightens her arms around him, trying to pull him tighter against her.

Bruce partially withdrew from her then thrusted himself back inside of her. Knowing that he was giving her pleasure, hearing her groans and watching the look on her face each time he penetrated her, excited him even more. His thrusts quickened, Bruce kisses Ali's lips again, this time there was nothing gentle in his kiss now; it was passionate, demanding, he crushes her mouth against his. Ali could barely breath it didn't matter; nothing mattered, nothing except the feeling of their heated skin moving against skin.

Ali began to rock her hips again to meet each of his thrusts, matching his rhythm, her body undulating beneath his. Ali felt her pleasure intensify and localized. Ali was aware of the sounds of pleasure she was making and was not able to control them. Ali tried to speak, but her words came through in gasps. "Bruce, Bruce, I can't, I can't, stand anymore." Her words did not match how her body was responding to him.

Bruce smiles down at her. "Yes, you can," he reassured her, his rhythm slows a bit but he doesn't stop. "You're almost there." Bruce slips his hands under her, to tilt her hips so that the base of his penis came into contact with her clitoris with each stroke, skin rubbing against slippery skin. The increased stimulation was almost more than she could bear.

Ali was glad that the walls were sound proof because her cries of pleasure would have been heard throughout the manor. Her body stiffened she screams. "OH BRUCE!" As she felt him moving inside of her, his hands continued to hold her into position he began to rock his hips a little faster. Bruce's intention was to drive her crazy and it seemed to be working. Ali's hands grabs the blankets tightly the top of her head pressed into the pillow. Ali gasped, "Bruce…Bruce… Bruce…"

Each time Bruce moved inside of her, she felt closer to the brink of an orgasm, her muscles began to clench around his large penis Bruce pushes harder against her wanting her to explode in her own pleasure. Ali's excitement peaked and the tension began to explode into a series of tiny, rippling explosions, beginning where she held him in between her legs and spreading, sending waves of pleasure surging through her entire body.

When her orgasm subsided and it was over, he held her quietly for a moment, his lips moved over her face and throat while Ali gasped for air. Once her breathing calmed a little his mouth found hers, kissing her passionately at the same time he began to thrust inside of her again, at first gently, then harder, faster deeply, he was now working to his own release. Ali was exhausted and barely able to move or so at least she thought till she felt her own body begin to respond to him again. Soon her own excitement was peaking again, she moved with him it felt as though he had complete control over her body.

Bruce continued to move inside of her, feeling her silky wet walls beginning to tighten around him again he felt his own release arriving his thrusts become harder Bruce gave her all he had until he surrenders himself to his own climax with a shuddering, gasping cry. Ali felt Bruce's release it was a warm and welcoming feeling, she felt closer to him now more than ever.

Bruce pauses a moment, trying to catch his breath, he whispers to her in between deep breaths. "I love you Ali."

He clearly hears her answer. "I love you too Bruce." Ali breathed out.

Bruce collapses on top of her, both of them were exhausted, but still did not want this moment to end; Ali wraps her arms around Bruce's heated skin as his lips slowly moved against her throat traveling up to her chin then to her lips that met in a soft tender kiss. Ali felt a sense of loss when Bruce shifts himself to lie beside her, her body didn't feel complete without him. Ali reaches out and touches his face as he puts his arms around her; she laid her head on his chest and fell asleep in his embrace.
