Chapter 11-
I am back with the next chapter, and I am so sorry it took me so long to update. I just hope this chapter will somehow makeup for its lateness.
"Is this going to happen every time we are left alone near a bed," he asks from next to her.
Veronica turns around to look into the eyes of her bed buddy and gives him a weak smile.
"The lack of bed never stopped us before now that I remember. Not to mention that I thought we were going to take it slow this time around," she answers with a small wince.
He just shrugs and smiles broadly after a while.
"I guess things don't change that easily."
She rolls her eyes before laying flat on her back on the bed.
"We need to talk," she says in her business like voice. "That is why I came here. Not what we just did, and I don't know who else to go to."
"What is wrong," he asks sitting up and staring down at her stunning face.
"Do you think we can put on some clothes first," she asks a little bit embarrass at their current state.
"Yeah, it might be best if we are fully covered. That way we won't worry of things repeating," he says grabbing the clothes that is laying everywhere around the room, before handing over her clothing to her.
He turns around and changes quickly before turning around and seeing her finish putting on her blouse.
"Ready?" she asks.
"Yeah," he says. "What is going on, Ronnie."
She turns around and looks at him while biting her lower lip. After a while like that she opens her mouth and once more closes it, going into silence once more.
It takes her two more minutes before she answers the patiently waiting man in front of her.
"I am worried about Bruce," she finally blurts out. He raises an eyebrow at her confession. "When I left earlier I bumped into him in the halls. He seemed off. His eyes were, well just weird. He was incoherent," she shakes her head and feels a shiver rundown her spine as she remembers entering his room. "Then I drag him into his room. It was dark, very dark. I couldn't even see my own fire no matter how hard I tried."
Superman frowns at her words.
"That does sound peculiar."
"Once he looked normal he said he was looking at something before, well whatever it is that happened to him? More than that actually, that was the last thing he remembers doing. However long ago that was."
"You think it has something to do with what he has found out?"
"Don't you? If it is true what he thinks is going on then I wouldn't be surprise. They must be hiding something major. There is just way to much security around this stuff to be anything 'normal' or 'good'."
"Other than kidnapping innocent powered humans you mean?"
"There not just kidnapping kids Clark. It's bigger than that," she looks right into his eyes. "It is almost like they are building some kind of army. The question is, for what?"
"And with our son in the front of it, it seems."
"With both of our powers in him…" she shakes her head. "We need to do something about this. We need to save them. Save him," she says almost in desperation.
"We will," he says taking her in his arms. "We will try and save them all. You just need to realize some of them might be out of reach of saving. They might be bad forever."
"Including our son," she finishes his unsaid words.
She shakes her head as tears begin to go down her fair skin. She has never felt so vulnerable before. Just so helpless.
Her son might be being use. If so saving him can be hard, if not almost impossible.
"We need to go back to Bruce's room," she says as she pulls away from him. "I need to see what he was looking at."
"Batman is a very private man, and I don't think he would like the thought of us snooping around his room. So we should wait for him to come back and do our own research here. Maybe…"
"No Clark. This is our fight. Our battle. No one else should get involve unless it is totally needed," she interrupts knowing what he wanted to say.
"But Ronnie…"
"I already feel bad to get Bruce involve in this."
"We might need back up."
"Fine we can get some help, but I only want Shayera, Wally, and that smart Martian, green dude."
"Jon Jon?"
"Yeah him."
"Deal," he says and they shake on it before going off to work.
…
"Who is there," Wonder Woman asks turning to the shadows. "I am warning you that I am the last person you would want to mess with."
'Mortals,' the Amazon thinks as she walks the dark streets of Gotham.
"So much anger in such a pretty woman, Diana," a bone chilling voice says.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" the princess asks standing defensively.
"I thought you would have recognized me by now," the voice says changing a bit less horrifying.
"Bruce," she whispers out.
"The one and only," the dark knight says stepping out of the shadows, and with him a weird green gas that makes the Amazon prison pass out within seconds.
Dum, dum, duummm.
