Sorry for the very very late update, I'm been recovering from surgery due to a medical issue and I have tried to update my stories but the pain has been delaying me BUT not to worry I'm making a slow recovery and I should be feeling better in no time Now last time Bane and Robin got into a heated conversation, and I don't mean an anger aggressive or things been thrown at someone conversation, no I mean hot, luscious and heart racing conversation. All most finished with my Batman stories but I am always up for requests too! ENJOY!

Last chapter recap:

(Robin POV)

How could I have let things get so out of hand so quickly, sighing I rub at my eyes and decide that I would think about it more in the morning after a night's sleep because to tell you the true I'm exhausted from today's events.

Chapter Eight: Turning a new stone

(Bane POV)

Groaning as I sat up I scanned the room looking for any traces of the early morning sun. As my thoughts drift off into my mind, memories from last night's event came flashing back in my mind, the soft touch of his lips, his feather like touches, his panting breath on my neck sending shivers down my spine, and who could forget those deep blue eyes, they were just like the colour of the ocean but with a tint of fire flickering within them.

Pushing aside those memories, I begin dressing in my normal black clothing and reposition my mask on my face hiding away the forgotten memories of the past from those around me. Opening the door that lead into the hall way I began making my way towards the kitchen area, where I suddenly I stop mid-step and take in the beautiful aromas coursing through the air of cooked bacon and egg scramble. I Continued walking wondering down the hall trying to figure out which of my men was making all these delicious smells, well I know for certain that it wasn't Marcus because whatever his hands came in contact with only meant death itself, and I wasn't too sure if the other men could actually cook either. Cautiously I peered into the kitchen entrance and the sight before me caused me to cease all movement and stare in surprise.

(Robin POV)

My eyes began to crack open and take in my surrounding and the light of the morning sun. Steadily I sat up and stretched my muscles, reliving what strain I had inflicted upon them while sleeping. Rubbing the sleep dust from my eyes I begin to think about the events that occurred last night and that caused my cheeks to bloom to a deep red colour. Oh how I had wished I had dreamed the whole thing, but I can still smell his rich musky scent on my body and my lips still had traces from our passionate kiss, shaking my head from those thoughts I get up out of bed. I then sluggishly make my way towards the direction of my clothing, which was a clean pair of loose draw string pants and a simple black t-shirt.

Before I began what seemed like a long journey back to the bed my stomach made a growling sound of protest, which meant in English words 'I'm starving and I need food now', groaning I turned in the direction of the door leading towards the entrance of the hallway. Not bothering with putting on my shoes I turned the door knob slowly and hopefully quietly too and peered out into the hallway.

Upon realising I was the only one awake, I crept down the hallway towards what I had prayed was the kitchen because last time I tried exploring I got caught. Finally, I had managed to find the kitchen area and the only description I could say it was absolutely huge! I mean there were four tables with six chairs around each one, two bulky looking fridges and the benches were almost 20 feet long and not to mention there was also dozens of different shaped cups, cutlery, utensils, cutting boards and some other things that I have never seen before in all my life. This kitchen was built for royalty I swear.

Opening both fridge doors I could only stare mouth grapping at the various meats, herbs, dairy, vegetables and fruits that lined the fridge doors and shelves, well there were a lot of mouths to feed but I didn't think people could really eat this much.

Since I'm going to be staying here for a while I might as well start gaining the trust of the men and Bane, so why not gain their trust by making them a hearty breakfast. Grabbing some herbs and spices from the cupboards and grabbing the eggs, mushrooms and other things I would need to make breakfast with from the fridge I began organising breakfast. Thank god I had listened to Alfred when he was teaching me how to cook and the different names of all the herbs and spices otherwise I'd be calling out for help right about now.

Now that I had most of everything organised I started Searching around the kitchen in hopes of finding an apron or some type of cloth material to keep myself clean from the messes in the kitchen. Looking in all the cupboards and pantries I find a purple and black apron folded up on one of the pantries shelves, even though it was a bit big on me as long as it did its job I didn't really care.

I began cracked a least three dozen eggs into a mixing bowl and then I chopped up some mushrooms, celery, milk, cheese, capsicum, onion, salt and pepper, I then finely diced up some herbs like parsley and coriander. When all the ingredients were ready I mixed them into a large mixing bowl and then proceeded to combine all the ingredient together, until they were mixed in to my liking. Reaching into one of the side draws near the stove I grabbed out a wooden spoon to cook the egg scramble wit, and then I reached underneath one of the bench cupboards for a large fry pan.

When I had hooked up the fry pan to the power point and turned it to the middle setting and then poured a small amount of oil onto the fry pan, before then pouring the egg mixer in. Now that the egg scramble was coming together, I quickly grabbed the bacon from the fridge and a large pan from the same cupboard where I found the fry pan. Pouring again another small amount of oil into this pan I turned the stove element on the middle heat, before then removing the bacon from the packet and putting them into the pan to cook.

Due to being so court up with preparing Breakfast for everyone I didn't notice Bane and his men crowding the door way into the kitchen.

(Bane POV)

I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but yet here was Robin running around the kitchen preparing what looked like bacon and egg scramble, mixed with vegetable and other foods I couldn't quiet see from my position. He was using quiet a lot of ingredients for one person or was he meant to be cooking breakfast for everyone? I'm taken out of my thoughts as I feel a hand on my shoulder, I look around to see that it was Marcus.

Marcus had a big smile on his face and was smelling the air, "Gezz there hasn't been such a pleasant smell going from this kitchen for years and I mean years, who's cooking?", He was right about that, it has been years since any good aromas have come from this kitchen. My mouth curled up into a smile "I believe our little Bird has a few more talents up his sleeves", Marcus looked at me confused "what do you mean?"

I motioned him to peer into the kitchen where I saw him stare mouth a gape at his findings, he looked up at me with shock, "Since when does he cook?", I could only shrug my shoulders in reply, "I didn't realise that he cooked either until I smelt this beautiful aroma coming the kitchen". Looking past Marcus down the hall way I could see doors been opened to my men's rooms and them smelling the air before making their way down to the kitchen.

"Morning Boss" one of them said, another one shouted out "Gee that does smell nice, whatever someone's cooking, Who's cooking Boss?", I tried to shush them but that loud outburst didn't go unnoticed by the boy in the kitchen. He accidently dropped the wooden spoon onto the floor in fright and quickly turned around to see what had given him a bit of a fright.

(Robin POV)

As I'm stirring around the egg scramble and flipping over the bacon, a loud outburst from behind me startles me from what I'm doing as well as making me drop the wooden spoon to the ground. I quickly turned to face whatever distracted me from my concentration and was surprised to see Bane and all his men crowded around the kitchen door way.

I shook off my shock of seeing them and pointed my finger towards the plates and cutlery on one of the benches "Now that your all here there are plates and cutlery over there for you guys and I hope you like scrambled eggs and bacon because I made enough to feed an army, so please help yourselves". They just kept on staring at me with mouths gape w=like fish out of water, until Bane raised an eyebrow and barked out orders to his men "Well you heard the lad boy's, grab a knife, fork and a plate and dig in or are you afraid he'll poison you all", after Bane said this they started gathering utensils and plates before then making their way up to me for their breakfast.

After serving the last dish to Bane, they sat down and all started digging in. In mere moments the room was filled with groans of pleasure and delight, "God this is the best bacon and egg scramble I have ever tasted" said one of the men, "even if he's our enemy, he sure can cook up a dame good feast" said another one. I couldn't help but blush at all the good feedback I was receiving about the food, I didn't realise my cooking was that great.

After all the men were finished many of them came and thanked me for the meal in their own ways either saying thank you, ruffling my hair, groaning a thanks or even just nodding their head in my direction. As I was washing up the dishes I didn't notice that Bane was right behind me, until I felt his warm breath tickling my neck. "First your fighting skills are astonishing and now you're even a skilled cook my you are a clever little one aren't you', He said before walking off down the hall.

Shivers ran down my spine as my mind crept back to the memories of the night before, shaking my head I keeping cleaning all the dishes and cutlery in the kitchen.

After a couple of day's things started turning around for me, the men had started trusting me more and even respecting me more too, even Marcus and I started to bond a lot more too, we started to act like we were brothers following in each other's footsteps, he showing me a few tricks in weaponry and martial arts.

Bane had change too, his normal fierce and threatening atmosphere around him had changed to a more relaxed and caring aura and now you could actually get a smile or a laugh out of him. Before heading back to my room after a long day, I passed by Banes room and then the room next to his, I hadn't really recognised this room before because I was so caught up with things, shrugging my shoulders I was going to keep going, but something about this room held an aura of mystery and uncertainty within it and I couldn't help but be drawn into it with curiosity and wonder.

Oh no cliff hanger time! What's going to happen next? Well you'll just have to wait for the update I'm afraid…. hehehe and let me tell you something it's one chapter you'll want to read!

Until next time, Cleanna xx
