Types of Heroes

Ch. 14

Chloe laid her head against Bruce's broad chest. as she swayed across the dance floor she tilted her head up towards him.

"So Mr. Wayne, the evening is almost over. What now?"

He looked down at her with deep longing. He smiled, "Well..." And then he leaned in to kiss her. Chloe wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him back. It was a deep and full kiss. She backed away gasping for air when she realized people were staring. "Well Mr. Wayne that is quite an ending to the evening. So what did you say we get out of here?"

"Lets."

Hand and hand they headed for the entrance and into the lobby of the hotel.

"You know this is the hotel that I am staying at." Bruce whispered in her ear.

"Hmmm. That's interesting Bruce. So if I ever want to stop by for a surprise interview I'll know where to find you."

"If that's what you want to call it."

Chloe smiled, "Why Mr. Wayne if you're suggesting wat I think you're suggesting..."

Then her cell phone rang. "Excuse me, I'll have to get this."

"Of course, I'll call for Alferd." he said taking out his cell phone and walking across the lobby giving her some privacy.

With her eyes still lingering on Bruce she grabbed her cell phone oouot of her black purse.

"Hello?"

"Chloe, hey girl. I have some disurbing news."

"Oh, hi Andrea can it wait I'm still on my date, remember?"

"It kind of has to do with that chica."

Chloe bit her lip, "Oh, great. What do you mean?"

"It's Bruce he was the one who had Nick traced."

Chloe shrugged as she looked at Bruce who looked so handsome as he talked on the phone across the room.

"Just my luck, are you sure about that?"

"Si. Sorry amiga I didn't find out until after..."

"It's okay. Not your fault Andrea. How could you have known?"

"So what are you going to do?"

"I'll handle it.I'll keep in touch."

"Adios mi amiga."

"Adios."

Chloe put her phone back in her purse the feeling of anger and suspicion came flooding back. All of her worries about Bruce just dating her to get information had come back a long with her resolve to find out exactly what Bruce was up to. Too bad. She really was enjoying herself. She didn't know if she was completely falling for Bruce but she certainly laid victim to his charms. Not just the part of him that was this charming billionaire guy but she had saw something more there, something deeper. Could that all be an act too? There was something about him that couldn't put her finger on. He intrigued her. There was something behind that mask he wore. Se knew it was a mask because she wore it too. She wanted to find out. So she would investigate it's what she does.

He came up to her giving her his hand. "Your chariot awaits, my lady."

She took his hand, "Well, lead the way my dear knight."

The limo ride back to her dorm was very quite. Bruce would steal looks at her ever so often but she sat quite looking away. Finally he spoke, "Is everything ok?"

Chloe turned around shaking herself out of the daze she was in, "Huh?"

"Are you alright Chloe?"

"Oh, yeah, never better. I...I just... Bruce we never covered what you did in your free time."

"You asked me what I did for fun. I must say this was pretty fun."

Chloe nodded and couldn't hold back her smile, she wished she could hold it back.

"You're avoiding my question."

"And that is?"

"What do you do in your free time?"

"Oh you know regular billionaire stuff. I go to charity balls, rock repelling, jumping out of planes, and things like that."

"Billionaore stuff huh?" Chloe said unsettled. Her experience with billionaires and what they did in their free time was something she didn't like to reflect on. But could Bruce be just like the two billionaires she was used to. She hoped not. But then why would he be tracing Nick?

"Are you sure everything is okay? Was it the phone call?"

Chloe shrugged her shoulders and then she looked up at him sincerely, "Bruce, I really did have a great time."

"I really did too." He scooted closer and put his hand on her cheek. She blushed. He leaned towards her and then brushed his lips against hers sweetly and then he let go. Chloe smiled and then the car stopped. She was about to get out but then she turned around and jumped Bruce, decked him down on the seat and started to kiss him passionately. He gave in completely move his hands all over her body. Her left hand lingered to the side reaching to her purse and grabbed a tracer and smoothly put it on his jacket as she smothered him with kisses. After she had gracefully put the tracer on she knew she should probably stop kissing Bruce but she had found that more difficult to pull away then she liked to admit. Then the door opened with Alfred on the other end. A strange smile had crossed the gentle mans face and Bruce and Chloe sat up awkwardly.

"We are here Master Bruce. I'll give you a moment." And then he walked away. Chloe couldn't help but giggle.

Then Bruce put his hand over his face suppressing an amusing smile.

"Well let me walk me to your door."

"Yeah." Chloe got up a bit flustered. Getting out of the limo she straitened herself up.

As Chloe walked along Bruce's side to her dorm she was a little giddy and at the same time wary of herself. What was she thinking? She knew she had to know what he was up to so she had to get the tracer on him. She just didn't think she would get that carried away. She knew she really couldn't let something like that happen again. She really didn't know him and so far she had found out he was a snoop and a stalker. Ok so she was a snoop too. But she knew that stalking wasn't very good boyfriend material characteristics. Boyfriend? No she was not thinking about that at all. This was just a harmless date. That's all, she had fun and now she'll move on back into her life as super hero side kick.

As they arrived to her dorm room Chloe spoke, "Well good night Bruce."

She said it very quickly and to the point she did not want to linger so she got her key and started to unlock her door. Bruce did not leave. He stood there for a thirty seconds until he took her hand turning her around. He lightly caressed her lips with his hands fell against her waist and then she quickly pulled away and then pushed him slightly away from her.

"Good night." She tried to say as firmly as possible.

And then he laughed, "Good night Chloe, see you soon."

She nodded saying nothing and then turned her key and opened the door before she could do any more damage. She leaned against her door falling down and sighing. This was not happening; she was not falling for dangerous billionaire stalker guy. No way. She gazed straight into space and then she stared at her wall of weird. For some reason she was staring at the picture of the vampire bat. She shook her head, she needed to focus, and she had a job to do. She was an investigative reporter and she was needed to investigate. She headed for her closet and got out her box of gadgets. She took out the receiver of the tracer that a map of where the tracer would be.

She looked at it and saw it go to the neighboring streets. Then she opened her closet and found her best breaking and entering clothes. The night was still young and she had some stalking to do.

Bruce got back to the hotel and took out his lab top that was tracking this Nick character. To his dismay he saw that it was deactivated.

"Just great." He said to himself.

He had enjoyed his night with Chloe and had hoped he hadn't caused any trouble for her. She had certainly gotten to him. He knew it was better for the night to end. He really did not want to hurt her. While taking off his jacket he noticed something on it. It was a tracer. It wasn't identical to the ones he uses but he could identify it any where. She had put a tracer on him. How did he miss that? He laughed grimly. He had trained ninja's, sensei's, and monks from all over the world. He learned how to notice things that the untrained normal eye could not. And he had missed this. Who was this girl? He was starting to think that she was more then a resourceful reporter that had gotten in way over her head. There was something more to her. He had notice something when she was talking to Lex and then after she had gotten off of the phone. She was hesitating, and then she didn't hesitate. Did she just do that to get the tracer on him? Was all of this just about some story? Had she had planned this all from the beginning? Was she merely playing him? But didn't he just get upset for playing her and hurting her. Didn't he start all of this to get information about what she knew about Nick? Either way it really didn't matter, either way he had a job to do. This Nick character had caused erectable damage and was working with Lex. Bruce needed to ring these criminals to justice. And no matter what his motives he had to protect Chloe.

He took the tracer and put it on his ninja outfit. He had some protecting to do.
