Bruce slowly opened his eyes and found that he was back at home; he rubbed his head slowly trying to dull the pain radiating from his head.

Alfred walked in to Bruce's front room "sir, you have a meeting arranged in an hour," he told Bruce.

Bruce nodded drowsily feeling very light headed "Alfred? You couldn't get me some."

Alfred cut him off "headache tablets, of course sir" he said looking at Bruce in concern then he slowly walked off to fetch Master Wayne his pills.

Bruce buried his head into his hands and groaned lying back onto the sofa again.

An hour later Bruce sat in the meeting, his headache had died down slightly from the painkillers given by Alfred. He looked around the people who were sitting in the meeting, one person caught his eye, the man looked like he was concentrating very well on what Lucius Fox was explaining, Bruce tilted his head concentrating on the blond curls that bounced up and down when the man nodded towards Lucius Fox, his brown eyes reflecting from the lights. The man reminded him of Francis, a sudden sadness overwhelmed him. Francis.

He would need to remember to have a little chat to him after this meeting, he needed someone to talk to after having so many depressing thoughts remembering the death of Francis.

Flash back

Francis had been acting very strange recently, he had become more clingy towards Bruce, but Bruce hadn't took good care of Francis and he stood there to watch his best friends life deteriorate. On the 20th August 1997 was one of the best days in Bruce's life, him and his girlfriend Rachel had took their relationship to another level and that night he had lost his virginity.

At around two in the morning his mobile rang, it was Francis he sounded scared "Bruce..?", Bruce hugged his sleeping girlfriend next to him pressing her closer to his chest while holding the mobile "Francis do you know what time it is?" Bruce said annoyed.

Francis deep laboured breaths could be herd down the phone he sounded like he was crying "Bruce… I can't do this anymore" he said sobbing, Bruce sat up confused and worried.

"What are you talking about Francis, couldn't you ring me in the morning me and my girlfriend are having a bit of time you know, if you understood that maybe or maybe not because you ain't had a girlfriend have you" he said before he could stop his words he immediately regret them "Francis I'm sorry I didn't.." before he could finish Francis cut him off.

"My dad's going crazy" he said his voice quivering, Bruce frowned looking down at his girlfriend who was staring up at him she smiled rubbing circles into his chest "oh Bruce" she moaned. Bruce grunted with lust from what his girlfriend was doing "Francis will you be ok till tomorrow I've gotta go ok?" he turned of his mobile before Francis could answer back.

Flash back ended

The man turned his head to Bruce tilting his head looking confused why Bruce Wayne was staring at him, he didn't like the feeling of a man with such high power staring at him.

Bruce sighed looking away he couldn't replace Francis of courses not, but someone… someone that could be a little piece of what Francis was. Suddenly his thoughts were cut short by Lucius voice "anything to add Bruce?", Bruce thought for a moment his eyes drifting back to the dirty blond curls that belonged to that fascinating man, "yes I do" he said standing up "I'm going to give one of you a promotion I want you to work for it and you will get that and a pay rise twice the amount your getting paid now", he wasn't really going to hire anyone well no one except for that man he needed to get closer to him, he turned to the man he had been staring at and gave him a big smile.

That night with Rachel had seemed to be the worst idea he had done because at half past five the phone rang again.

Francis had committed suicide.
