-Cassie's Point of View-
I woke up in a dark cave. I was dressed in a sports bra and shorts. I heard bats shrieking and flying around. I tried getting up but pain from my lower region and my abdomen caused me to let out a shriek out and force myself to lie back down. I started sobbing and panicking.
"You're safe." I looked to my left and saw where the raspy voice came from. It was… I'm guessing Batman.
"Where's… Where's Scarecrow? Where's Jonathan?" I asked confused.
"Crane's being contained; you're safe."
Batman came over and placed his hand on my forehead. I jumped at him doing that.
"It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you."
Something inside me told me to believe him. He didn't look like he was the harmful type. He leaned down removing his hand from my forehead. I slowly sat up at my pace. This man… He saved my life.
"Who… Who are you?" I asked looking at him. I placed my hand on his face stroking my thumb across his cheek.
"You… You saved my life." I said between tears. I leaned in to kiss him as a thank you. He kissed me back and whispered my name between kisses. I pulled away.
"Bruce?" I asked looking at him. I ran my finger across his lips and pulled his mask off.
"Bruce… You're… You're Batman?"
He looked at me not saying anything.
"Bruce… I owe you my life…"
"No…" He began. "I was just trying to save you… Batman was trying to save you… I followed you to Arkham Asylum. I followed Crane when he took you to his hideout. I'm sorry I didn't save you soon enough…"
I hugged him sobbing flinching slightly as I did because of the wound on my gut. He hugged me back in a loving way. I knew he must have gotten caught up with Scarecrow's minions or else he would have saved me sooner. It was still hard to believe that one of my best friends was Batman…
"Cassie," he began looking at me with a loving look in his eyes. It was more than a loving friend look.
"Cassie… Move here with me. Marry me. Please."
I didn't know what to say. I hugged him and told him yes. I owed him my life… He saved me…
-Crane's Point of View-
I was now a patient in my Asylum for a month. I sighed sitting in the corner resting my head against the wall.
"Well look where you got us." I told Scarecrow.
"You know we're not going to be in here forever. We have unfinished business." He told me.
"If you could have controlled yourself we wouldn't have been in here in the first place." I reminded him.
"It was fun and you know it."
I rolled my eyes at his response. He was right though… That sick twisted part of me that was Scarecrow ultimately enjoyed what happened. Then, Batman ruined our fun; as always.
I grabbed today's paper and gripped it in anger looking at the main headline:
"CASSANDRA SNYDER-BRUCE WAYNE WEDDING"
I looked at the color photo of Cassie and Bruce Wayne on the cover of the newspaper. That should have been me with her… Not Bruce fucking Wayne…
"We have unfinished business with her and Bats. Don't forget that." Scarecrow reminded me.
He was right. We did have unfinished business. I suddenly didn't feel so bad for Scarecrow trying to gut her.
I looked over and saw the door to my cell opening. I saw Joker and one of the nurses. It wasn't Harley. It was Melissa…
"I told you we had unfinished business."
I smiled the most evil sadistic smirk I could have ever done and walked over to Joker and Melissa.
Well, that's the last chapter for this one. I am in the process of writing a sequel if any of you are interested in reading it. It should be posted up here in the next couple days. Thank you for those of you that kept reading this and kept sticking it out with me. The sequel is going to have many surprises in it. (Hopefully)
