Batman Beyond: Return of the Scarlet Monster
Chapter 9: Dance into the night….
Bring peace. That's what Bruce told her to do. To bring everyone and everything peace for those that she didn't want to experience what she had experienced. Having that in mind, that meant protecting those that were dear to her. Bruce was one of them; in fact he was on her top 5 list in protecting. He always was and always will be, but now she had a problem. Now that Terry knew why she was running away and who she was running from, he was in her life even more than before. She was growing fond of him. Everywhere she went, he was there. Even when she was lost, he was there, right beside her, even when she told him about her cousin.
2 hours ago…
Terry stared down at the floor, wondering how to respond to that entire she had just told him. "Terry, say something. Please." He rubbed his eyes and slowly raised his head. "Let me get this straight: You have been running from your cousin, that you yourself didn't know existed till 10 years after you left Dakota and you don't know how he has been following you or how he is capable of staying this certain age that, again, you don't even know, but you do know he wants what's inside of you and he won't stop till he has what he wants." Bruce shook his head and gave Terry a stern look. "No, Terry. She's telling you that she wants you to take her out to dinner. It's not that hard." Terry sighed and placed his hands on hips, trying very hard not to respond to Bruce's comment. Sam found herself in a very uncomfortable position. She tried to ease the tension off and said, "I have an idea. Terry, I noticed a few dance clubs on our way back here. Why don't you take me to one of them? It would be nice for you to show me what teenagers do for fun now." Terry looked at Bruce and watched him give him a nod in compliance and gave Sam some money. "I want her home by 12." Terry nodded and walked with Sam out of the dark, dank bat cave.
Now….
Sam could feel herself being torn between 2 people, Virgil and Terry. She knew she didn't have to worry about Virgil as much cause he knew what he was doing now, but she had this urge to always be near Terry for some weird reason. Ever since the first time she saw him, she felt as if she was being pulled toward him. Half of her liked this feeling but the other part of her was being a bitch about being near him, screaming in her head, saying things like 'What are you thinking? Immortality, remember?' She ignored those thoughts and warnings sometimes. For tonight, she was gonna show Terry how she really felt about him. Whether he would refuse her or not and she was hoping he wouldn't.
As Terry bought for their tickets and as he led her to one of the booths that looked over the dance floor, he noticed that Sam was giving him this look like she wanted him or something. It made him feel good inside. As he sat across from her, trying very hard to restrain him from just grabbing her and kissing her like crazy, not caring if she was immortal or not, he could sense her moving around the table and finally sitting next to him. She slowly moved her fingers to his; not wanting him to move just yet, but he stopped her. He just didn't want her to do this and let it be a 'one night stand' kind of situation. "Please, don't do that." He released her arm and paid attention to the people dancing on the dance floor. He couldn't believe was trying any of this, even when she knows that she can't. When he looked back at her, he saw that her head lay perfectly on top of her arms showing a very upsetting face. Terry frowned. He didn't mean to ruin the whole night for her all in an instant. 'Let's try a different way' He sat up, seeing the desperate and confused look on her face. "Well, this is a dance club. Come on, I'll teach you how to dance." He reached out for her hand which she gladly accepted and she let him guide her to the dance floor. When they finally reached the dance floor, he released her hand and placed it on top of his shoulder. "We'll try something simple for tonight, ok?" She nodded and followed his footsteps, mirroring his every move. "You're doing great. Keep it up." She smiled and laid her head on his chest. He figured this was ok. He took this time to study what she was wearing. She had her hair covering some of her face and was wearing this, what looked like light pink lip gloss. She was wearing a dark pink shirt that hugged her chest and her stomach like it was her second skin, she was also wearing a black skirt that only came up to her thighs and swayed with every movement they made, she wearing black heels but not so much as high heels, just high enough for her head to lay on his chest. He rested his head on top of hers. She was beautiful. He couldn't hide the fact that he thought she was beautiful, but he tried very hard to hide the fact that he cared a lot for her. He was probably failing at it now. He breathed her in, smelling the scent of pomegranate in her hair. It was intoxicating. Everything about her was just screaming at him saying 'My god I want her.' He could feel her breath out in a satisfied sigh. He couldn't take it anymore. He pulled her off the dance floor and into a dark corner. "Terry, what are you doing?" He placed his finger on her lips. She was just pulling him into her even more. "You wanna play? Let's play." With that said, he placed his mouth over hers. At first she was shocked, but she soon melted into the kiss. She let out a moan that sent a shiver down her whole entire body. He played with her tongue with his, wrapping it all around her mouth, tasting her, making sure that he would never forget her taste. He moved his hands through her perfect hair, to the back of her neck, pulling her closer to him, pressing his lips even more before they separated to get some air. They stared at each other like they didn't know what happened for the past 3 minutes. As he leaned in again to try and kiss her, he heard a high pitched, female voice behind him say, "What the hell is this? Terry? What are you doing?" He turned to face the only person that he was afraid of the most. Dana.
There's chapter 9. Finally, they kissed. Gosh, even I was waiting for that moment. Well, next time find out what Dana will do to Sam and Terry. Will this one moment of bliss last them long enough or will Sam break it off before it even starts? Find out in the next chapter in, Chapter 11: Love lives or it kills you… Review please. I want your opinion.
