What Do You Love About Me?

I do not own anything just what I made up and added enjoy: LibraDiva83

Max made it home unsure how she felt about the question she kinda considered it her homework. Once inside she kicked her shoes off and laid down on the couch. Her body felt so relaxed from her chair massage. It was easy for her to kick back and think. She knew eventually she would drift off to sleep, but she was deep in thought on the way there. Asking that question before she let herself feel what she felt for Terry, would have been easier before the engagement part one and two. Now things were different she allowed herself little by little everyday and moment to feel her feelings. Terry could hurt her hard and fast to the point that she could break into a million pieces if knocked on the floor hard enough. What could he say that she would believe. Everything would sound like it was coming from a best friend point of view, and not the woman that was soon to become his wife. Max thought of the possibilities of what his answer could be, her personality, her sense of humor, or even figure. Anyone of these things could have been the answer. Max wasn't sure either of them were good enough. One thing she didn't wanna hear him say was the word everything. Because what would that mean, and most of all Max thought it was a shortcut to not answering the question honestly. She felt the sleep coming in and let her final thought be "I guess I'll have to wait and see" then she fell asleep.

Wayne Manor

Terry on the other hand was with Bruce and hoping Max's session was okay. It was around three in the afternoon and he was worried of the outcome of Lisa's thoughts and Max's answers. Bruce called Terry to answer the front door, as they were expecting Lisa Lovely's visit. Terry opened the door and Lisa smiled and extended her hand with a smile. Terry was as everyone else response to her was a state of shock. Lisa grabbed Terry's hand and giggled.

"Terry, would you please let Lisa in"

"huh, oh, sorry I'm Terry wow your just...lovely"

"thank you Terry it's a pleasure to meet the young Bruce, although I'm sure you have your own qualities in your personality I'm sure"

"oh, thank you"

"Bruce it's been quite some time"

they embrace in a hug.

"likewise Lisa and thank you again for coming. I hope I haven't inconvenienced you in anyway"

"oh no Bruce it's no inconvenience at all. I'm happy I could help Maxine is a very intellectual young lady"

"she is in deed how did your session with her go"

"first I promised I wouldn't break our doctor patient, but I will give you a copy of our session for yourself Mr. Caped Crusader. But Maxine is dealing with such a great deal of pain and hopelessness on top of depression to the point, that she can't fathom the thought of her being wrong with the negative. She really does feel good and happiness is not meant for her and I fear she will indeed hurt herself badly if you don't step in. In the wrong hands she could be brain washed and kill herself and possibly someone else"

"thank you Lisa I will go over these"

"But she is a beautiful and smart young lady with morals. And Terry you are very lucky whatever you do don't let her go"

"thank you Ms. Lovely, wait did you say Caped Crusader. Hey dad she knows you were Batman"

"Uh correction my young lad, is Batman. Remember he is the original and for that he will always be Batman to me"

"okay one of you have got to tell me something"

"I saved Lisa from Joker once and ever since then she knew who I was"

"and I will never forget, if he ever needs my help on anything I will give it to him"

"what made you tell her"

"I didn't Lisa's a lot like Max, she figured it out the next day"

"how"

"well lets just say I had a tiny crush on Batman, but was more curious about the man behind the cowl. I gotta get going Bruce we'll talk later just give me a call if anything"

"alright I will Lisa take care and thank you"

"it was a pleasure meeting you Terry"

"same here"

Lisa walked out and closed the door behind her and Terry looked at Bruce.

"what, why are you looking at me like that"

"because that lovely lady is in love with you"

"and what makes you say a thing like that"

"because you just said she's a lot like Max and she's great. All that stuff she taught you about woman and you can't see she's in love with you not to mention she's beautiful for her age. I gotta say she's aging nicely"

"she is not in love with me, she just had a little crush on batman at one point in time"

"but you just said that she knew you were batman. Meaning she had a crush on you"

"Terry"

"yeah"

"shut up"

"fine be in denial but Max taught me once it's not just a river in Egypt"

"really you can pay attention when it doesn't concern you"

Just then a knock on the door sounded. Terry opened it and there again stood Lisa, saying her car broke down and Terry invited her in. Bruce told her it was getting dark and she was more than welcome to stay the night in his guest room and have her car fixed in the morning. Bruce and Terry walked her to her room and walked back to the cave.

"so old man car breaks down I say fate"

"and I say this cane breaks a rib"

"so who do you think I'll run into on patrol tonight"

"as I thought you said"

"my my so testy they say old people get meaner the older they get, but I don't think they came up with a term for you yet. Which is as my generation would say so unshway Brucie"

"I told you never to call me that. I'd take old man over that any day. For calling out loud what is a Brucie"

"I think that would be you my old and season father. Come on don't be such a dreg"

"and I think you wanna be relieved of that bat suite. Now suite up before I change my mind. And would please learn to speak, what is wrong with today's generation. I swear it's like the further we get into the future, the more literate the next generation is "

"okay, okay I'm on it my aren't we extra sensitive today. But just answer one thing"

Bruce looks at Terry stern with no expression on his face.

"why didn't the two of you date, you seem to like her. And sense were talking about Ms. Lovely, can we listen to her session with Max before I go"

"she was a great friend and I was somewhat of a "ladies man" as they say. I didn't wanna break her heart what with batman in all. And as for Max's session is concerned, no I will listen to it by myself. You can't handle it yet"

"ah ha you just said you didn't wanna break her heart. Meaning you did like her, that doesn't sound like the Bruce Wayne I know. He has no fear what happened for you to have fear"

"first off that was more than one than one question. And second it wasn't fear, see Lisa and I met in high school first, and after the first day we met. That's when she learned about my parent's death and for her to pick up all of that with our first conversation. I knew she was smarter than her years. She was the type nothing could get passed and you have to be careful with people like that. In college it was spring break and everyone went home except Lisa. She stayed to do more study because her parents were away for vacation and they were rich too. Lisa didn't see a reason to go home to be alone, therefore she used the time to sharpen her mind as much as she could. The first night someone working for Joker kidnapped her for ransom. But not for money Joker wanted to pick apart her brain, he had been keeping watch over her. He wanted to use her for his own twisted sick and demented games. When I got to her she was tortured really bad because she refused to help him. She even had a broken leg, the grey strands in her hair are from shock treatments not DNA. I brought her here to the cave and Alfred help me nurse her back. Even though when she awoke she was in a guest bedroom, and still out of it from the medication she knew I was batman. And that it was partly cause of my parents death. Out of gratitude she wanted to help me, and she knew I had no experience with woman. And that was were she had the knowledge"

"shway Bruce now what"

"you go on patrol"

"why can't I listen to Max's session"

"because your in love with her which means your not ready to hear whatever is on this session"

"always the detective"

Terry leaves out in the bat mobile and heads off to patrol. Bruce puts the vid disk in the bat computer and begins to watch. Max seemed a little uneasy at first then Lisa was able to bring her to ease. Bruce watched every moment and listened to every word Max said. Bruce thought it over on his own and played the disc for the second time. Bruce ran the analyzed program with the touch of a few keys. The computer was able to pull up every emotion from Max as the vid played on the screen. The computer listed every one on the left hand side of the huge screen. Max then mentioned about the cut she gave herself and showed it to Lisa. Bruce saw and knew immediately Max's problem was serious. And he had to step in right away before he lost her before she even made it to become his daughter in law. Max was tortured and hurting and even though it seemed to start and end with Terry. Terry wasn't the root of the pain, he was just the source. The root was Max and the pain feed off of Terry. Bruce saw that there was no limit to what Max would do. It was all self inflicted, which made it double dangerous. Bruce decided Terry was not to see this vid disc because he would only act off his emotions and not with his head. Suddenly Bruce heard a voice say "I see it hasn't changed much since the last time I was here" Bruce turned in his chair to see lovely Ms. Lisa standing there at the top of the stairs to the cave.

On Patrol

Meanwhile Terry had a run in with Shriek, who was just released from Arkham Asylum recently. So naturally he was bruised up some, say about a left side rib and shoulder. Once Terry put him back where he belong, he had no idea that Willie was watching him from afar. Waiting to see if he could pin point him to his real identity as Terry McGinnis. Terry worried about how Max was on his way to her, after jumping back in the bat mobile. Terry did however was always concerned with who could be watching like Bruce always told him. Hit high speed on his way to Max's so no car on the ground could keep up. Willie back on the ground was beyond pissed but stay true to the goal and went to Max's as a per caution.

At Max's

Terry made it to Max and sent the bat car back with the press of a button. As he climbed in the living room window he saw Max sleeping on the couch. Terry picked her up and walked to her bedroom and placed her on the bed. Max woke as she felt the difference of the bed from the couch's texture.

"hey Ter when did you get here"

"just now"

Max hugged him and Terry flinched at the touch of her hand to his rib.

"ouch"

"sorry let me see, looks like you finally had a good run in tonight. Who"

"Shriek, that damn suite I can't figure out how he always gets his hands on it when he gets out"

"you know criminals they have there way. Here I'll patch this up for you"

Max grabs the first aid kit from the nightstand and begins to clean his wounds.

"so how did it go with Lisa Lovely"

"she was really great I have another appointment to see her in two days. She is persistent with her name Lovely. She put me very much at ease with her"

"so what did you two talk about"

"no Terry I'm not gonna tell you. But I do wanna ask you something"

"anything shoot"

"Now remember I want you to be honest with me. What do you love about me"

"everything"

Max looked down and went blank of all things to say, did it have to be that. Everything in her mind was blank, the world stop, and nothing was the same. Then one simple thought ran through her mind. What the hell does that mean.
