I don't know how long I stood there before I realized that he was speaking to me.
"Gordon will be here soon." I was well aware he didn't answer my question that I had originally asked him, who gave a shit though he kissed me and it was brilliant. I noticed that he was whispering again. In his raspy way and his brown eyes, the same brown eyes that I dreaded seeing on for the longest- oh my god there I go again. Wait. The Eyes, The smell, the chemistry, the lips. I know those lips but it can't be. There is no way. This was Bruce I was thinking about, he was a play boy. He wasn't selfless. Jesus the guy was terrified of bats when we were younger. The more I thought about it though I believed that be the perfect symbol for him then. To become the thing he feared most. I was staring down Batman when the officers all walked in, we hadn't been talking anymore just staring. I don't know if he knew my thoughts but if he did he didn't try to stop them. I don't know where he went when Officer Gordon and I went to go talk about the patient files and what was in them. It took all night to go through my patients one by one and try to remember what was in the file and by the time Gordon dropped me off at the pent house it was 4:30 in the morning. I drug my body in to the pent house and was greeted with Alfred. Except he wasn't expecting me.
"Master Br-Lilly! Where have you been I was worried sick!" I stared at him and just continued to walk to the couch.
"Lilly-"
"I went to my home Alfred. I wanted to see it." I then told him everything that happened, including about the Batman. Alfred was good though he didn't let anything on. I needed to prove it though. I just didn't know how. I had planned to stay up till Bruce got home but when I heard him come in I was already asleep. I was so mad at myself. He picked me up and went to carry me in my room but I tried to push myself down.
"Lilly, Lilly what's wrong I am just taking you to your room."
"I was supposed to see you when you came in. I was supposed to prove it." I mumbled. I felt his steps falter a little bit but then he gently laid me down. I was already out though. I dreamed that Bruce kissed me goodnight and then I slept the day away. When I woke up I woke up with a plan. I did my normal day off things and that night I went to the gym. Like most nights when I go to the gym the batman was there waiting for me when I got out.
"You know you really need a hobby."
"And you really shouldn't go to the gym late at night."
"I have to stay in shape and I am too busy during the day."
"Not today-be safe." He cut off and went off to fight some crime I'm sure but I knew he was about to tell me I wasn't busy today, and that was true I was a complete bum today. When I got back to the Pent House Alfred told me it was time to go back to the Wayne Manor so we packed up and headed out. Once there Alfred bid me goodnight while I sat on the couch and watched television and worked on a few things for . At 3:30 Alfred came out of his room and startled at the sight of me.
'Miss Lilly what are you doing up?"
'I'm waiting for Bruce, Alfred."
"Master Bruce was-"He didn't get to finish because Bruce walked in. He looked exhausted and he looked beat up. He took in the sight of Alfred and I and then collapsed on the couch.
"Rough night?" I knew for a fact that the Batman had a major run in with the Joker, it was on the news and it had only ended an hour prior to him coming home. If my theory was right Bruce was going to need some medical attention, some ice at the least.
"Rough sex." My head jerked up. What?
"What?"
"I said rough sex. That woman wore me out, that's about it." I knew he was lying but at the same time the girl part of me that was overly emotional stung at his words. I glanced at Alfred who seemed upset that Bruce would say something like that to me as well.
"What are you doing up anyway?"He moodily asked me. I kept my eyes on my hands. I felt stupid. I had actually been worried about him. Why couldn't Bruce just tell me the truth? I knew he was the Batman; did he really think that he could be so close to me and hide it? I am not an idiot and when it comes to Bruce Wayne I know my stuff. I practically majored in him in college well in heartbreak but with a minor in Bruce Wayne.
"I-I was waiting up for you, I was worried." I looked up at him to see his eyes piercing me; it was almost like he was having an inner battle with himself. I didn't look away. I willed for him to tell me the truth because if he didn't I was going to let him know myself that I knew and it wouldn't be in a simple conversation that just wasn't my style.
"You had nothing to worry about, trust me I was in the most capable of hands, more capable than yours even." Ouch. Even though I knew Bruce had no idea that I was still a virgin that little comment was still a stinger. Mostly because I knew he thought me very capable last night. He was purposely trying to push me away.
"You're an ass." I stood up and stormed up to my room I whispered my goodnight to Alfred hoping neither noticed the tears coming from my eyes. I had to be pmsing or I would have simply punched him for making such a nasty comment. But that was the power of Bruce to me he knew what buttons to push. I heard him call out to me but I just kept walking, I would let Alfred take care of him tonight.
The next morning I woke up to hearing Alfred talk to Bruce.
"I will bring your breakfast down there sir. If she ask what should I tell her?"
"tell her I went to the office."
"You don't want me to tell her you were with a lady?" I heard Bruce sigh.
"I had to think of something Alfred it was all I could come up with."
"Yes I believe being an ass is what she said, it did seem to have the desired effect of putting her off." I stopped listening then. I was going to follow Alfred and find out where Bruce was going. I threw on a pair of jeans and a black t shirt with classic chucks. My hair was too crazy to even bother trying to tame the curls so I just quietly walked down stairs. I silently watched Alfred, I almost felt like he knew I was watching but didn't care, or maybe he wanted me to see. I watched as Alfred went in to the main study and pressed a few keys on the Grand Piano, with that a door opened. Holy Shit things just got intense. A secrete door. I quickly scampered back into the kitchen and started to pretend like I was just getting breakfast.
"Good morning Lilly, I trust you slept well?" I turned to Alfred and smiled. He knew, I knew he knew. I could tell by the look in his eyes.
"Yes, yes I did. I hope you don't mind me getting my own breakfast. I was thinking about going and enjoying it down by the lake."
'No, no of course not. I have to run a few errands so I won't be back till later this afternoon. Is there anything you need while I am out?" I told him a few things I needed and then we parted ways. I waited until I knew he was definitely gone and then I went into the study. I copied the actions that I watched Alfred do and afterwards an elevator appeared when I hopped in it started to descend. This was so fucking creepy. I have seen way too many scary movies to be actually doing this. But I was definitely doing it. When finally the door opened I walked out and was shocked to not see Bruce. Where was he? I started to walk around. I was amazed with this place. It was like a command center, there was high tech technology everywhere. I was walking around when the baddest ass car I have ever seen appeared in front of me. Well I appeared in front of it because I found it when I was walking around looking for Bruce. The Bat mobile. The Tumbler. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen it was a mix of tank and sex. Car sex. I had a thing for cars. I was running my hands on it when I heard a noise from some other part of the cave. I panicked but before I could run away a compartment opened on the vehicle. I jumped in without even thinking and shut the door.
"Oh god. Oh god oh god." I whispered to myself. I was in his bat mobile. I was sitting precisely in the back seat. Well if you want to call it that. Bruce was going to KILL me. This was just not good. I started to try and climb out but I couldn't exactly find how the hell I got in here. I was leaning forward when I heard talking next to me. FUCK!
"She must have gone out sir she isn't home."
"I'll try and find her and bring her here, keep her in Alfred things are not good right now. I don't need here running around alone. Especially since the media knows she's staying here, that makes her a target." That was Bruce talking about me. What was I a target for? Should I let him know I am in here? The door opened and the Batman got in. I had ducked behind the seat quicker than I have ever moved before.
"I will make sure she stays in once she gets here sir. Are you going to check the gym?"
"I'll check that are first, then I'll see if she maybe went to Arkham." HA! BRUCE WAS BATMAN! I KNEW IT! Okay well I had my doubts but eventually I knew it! How do I tell him…crap, how do I deal with this? This is a big deal. I didn't get a chance to deal with anything though because Batman-Bruce ugh how do I refer to him now? Hit the gas and we went flying out of the cave. I had to bite my lip to keep from making a started to bleed i bit it so hard. Once we were out and smoothly driving I decided it was time to let him know that he wasn't going to find me at the gym.
"um I am not at the gym or at work Bruce." I said sheepishly as I sat up in the back. My body was starting to cramp from the crouch ball position I had been, and his slamming on the breaks didn't help. He didn't say anything to me he just turned the tumbler back around and the next thing I knew we were back in the cave. Alfred hadn't even left the cave yet. When Bruce flew out and I crawled out Alfred's mouth fell open. I saw him smile but when Bruce looked at him he quickly covered it up. The only thing you could hear was my bones cracking from the weird position I had been in. Alfred cleared his throat.
"I'll just be upstairs then." Bruce still hadn't taken off his mask. I was biting my lip from anticipation, I didn't even register the pain from biting it when it was already split open. I knew he was about to kill me. He finally took off his mask and I looked at him.
