Nathan P.O.V

Me and Lara had an argument for hours last night and now she won't talk to me. The last thing she said to me was that she hated me and then she just stormed away and slammed the door shut and I hit the wall with my fist. I got up today and she was gone, guns and note, all gone. She didn't tell me where she was going, didn't even think to leave me a note. I just sat there with my head in my hands and I breathed deeply. I've just lost the most important thing that came into my shit lie of a life and I've just let it all just slip away. I finally go up off my ass and walked to the kitchen, got myself a cup of coffee and start to drink it. My phone starts to ring and when I answer it I feel my heart drop down to my feet.

"Nathan it's me Lara, I need your help. I'm at the alley, oh god please hurry." Lara begs. The line goes dead and I start to panic. I grab my jacket and shoes to put on and head straight there. I ran and when I got there, I swear I couldn't breathe any more. Lara was lay on the floor as five men surrounded her, they all had knifes and Lara was crying.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" I yell as I run at one the guys. I punch him square in the face while two others grab my arms and hold me still. The one I punched gets up and grins and then grabs Lara by her hair.

"Looks like your little pup showed up after all. Let's see if he can scream." He chuckles. The two other men that were around Lara grabbed her and made her watch me.

Before I knew it a knife was in my stomach and I let out a scream of pain and anger. The knife was pulled out the dug into my leg then my lower rib cage. I was let go and I fell to the floor. Lara was trying to fight out of the grip she was under and yet she couldn't break loose. My blood came out everywhere, I was soon lay in a puddle of blood. The last thing I was stare before I blacked out was Batman attacking the men. Then my eyes were closed... forever.

Lara P.O.V

I watch as the guy digs the knife into Nathan and I try to fight the grip but it's no good. I watch as he falls to the floor and then Bruce comes and gets the man all together for the police. We rush to the cave and then that's where I start to panic.

"Bruce! His not breathing!" I cry.

"He won't die, I won't let him." Bruce replies as he puts a needle in Nathan's left arm.

"I won't let him." Bruce keeps muttering.


Four days pass and Nathan was still out cold. I sat by him in the medical bay Bruce has in the cave and I just watched as his chest would slowing raise and then sink. Bruce would sometimes come in and tell me to get some rest but I don't wish to sleep. I want Nathan to come back, I'm scared if I leave that I'll return to find him... dead. I shake the thought from my mind, I can't believe how much I've let myself fall for a man.

"Lara, seriously, go up stairs and rest." Bruce tells me as he sits next to me.

"No, I'm not going to leave him." I reply, I am tired but I'm not leaving Nathan.

"Lara I did my best, there's nothing else we can do. We just have to wait, if he dies then I'll make sure he gets the best send off ever." Bruce comforts me. Then it hit me, the emptiness of the world without Nathan, the sight of his body not moving, eyes cold and skin colder than ice. The thought bought tears to my eyes and I cried into Bruce's chest as he hugs me.

"I can't lose him... I can't." I cry.
