-1Chapter 10- Trust Me
Terry is feeling bad while flying with Catwoman in his arms. They are still a long way for them to travel so they can get to the bat cave. But he doubts about taking her to the hospital.
There is no turning back he just hope that the injury is not to deep. Just then he feels the small woman moving in his arms. He looks down and gets lost in those eyes for a few seconds.
"What are you doing?" she ask.
"Taking you were you will be saved." he answers her back irritated by the way she ask him what he was doing.
"Don't I can handle it myself." she says trying to push him away.
"Sure so your telling me you can also fly because we are way above the sky and if I let you go. I doubt you have enough lives to survive." he says sarcastically.
"Then let me down on the next building." she says defiantly.
"Look lady," he says holding her tightly. "you are coming with me whether you like it or not."
She pulls her face up. You can see the pain in her eyes but she doesn't even wince. She gets close to his face and whispers in his ear.
"Let me go." she growls it as an order.
As she pulls away Batman looks into her face and stops at the next rooftop of a building.
"Happy." he says as he puts her down.
"Peachy." she says holding her side.
"Where are we going?" he ask looking at her.
She can barely stand but refuses his help.
"We are not going anywhere together. I know where I am going. You I have no idea and I seriously don't care." she says looking up at him defiantly.
"Yeah like I am going to let you out of my sight after what happen tonight." he says snorting.
"You have no choice and if you continue to refuse to let me out of your sight I will die from bleeding." she takes a deep breath. "Just let me go, Batman. I'll be okay. Trust me."
"I can't." he says raising his arms in frustration. "I don't want anything bad to happen to you."
"Its not up to you. Its my decision." she falls to her knees and looks up at him. "Please trust me. I wont do anything stupid I promise."
The shine in her eyes somehow ease his mind but his heart was throbbing at the thought of loosing her.
'Where did that come from.' he thinks.
He had to let her go. So he kneel in front of her and kisses her forehead softly.
"Just promise that you will come back to me." he says after a while.
Her lips begins to quiver but she then nods at him with a weak smile.
"I will as long as you let me be." she says still pushing that to him.
"I will." he says then flies away.
'I have to go see Elena.' he thinks as he is flying away.

When Terry gets to the door he sees a note taped to the door. In neat handwriting he sees his name.
He opens it and reads it:
Dearest Terry
I know that we said we will meet tonight but I am very tired and I have an early class. Please forgive me but I promise to make it up to you next time I see you. Hope your night wasn't as bad as other nights. Talk to you later.
Love,
Elena
Terry then pulls out his cell phone and dials her number.
He can here the ring tone coming from inside the house but there is no answer.
He feels uncomfortable and feels like he should go in and see that she is okay. He then looks at his watch and sees that is one in the morning. So he decides to leave for tonight. He will see her tomorrow.
But he didn't see her the next day.
In fact it wasn't till a week later that he caught glimpse of her long black hair but just for a moment before it disappear into her house.
