a/n can someone please explain to me what the heck is going on with the fanfiction website? Why are they deleting stories and what's gonna happen to our accounts?
Well besides that I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
The Black Mercy
This was getting ridiculous. Women were coming in from other countries just to get a chance at possibly snagging a piece of Bruce Wayne. It got so bad that he wasn't even able to step out of his house without being mobbed by reporters and or women saying that they'll marry him. Lucky for Bruce and Dick Alfred came back sooner than expected so they didn't starve to death.
Bruce Wayne still went out daily to work and dates and of course his Batman duties but poor, little Richard had to stay home. Bruce had gotten this fear that some of those crazed women would try to kidnap him if he went out. Not that Dick didn't love Alfred or anything but he did miss his daddy terribly during this crazy epidemic.
Not only that but apparently the plant lady kept coming around the mansion and took up even more of Bruce's time away from Richard with dates and meetings. This was really starting to miff off the little bird. How dare this snarky lady come into his house, talk to his daddy and take up their precious time that was supposed to be just for them.
The only time they really got to spend together anymore was bedtime. Bruce would come in still wearing his work suit, all messed up from the hectic day and lay down next to the boy already in bed waiting with a storybook in his hands. Bruce would read that nights selected story to him until those little eyelids closed. He'd kiss his sons head and go to the cave to change to his night suit.
What he didn't realize was the existance of the flower thoroughly impaled into his chest. The chemicals of the thing had made him completely oblivious of its existence and flooded his body with hormones that made him feel love for a certain redhead with a thing for plants. Almost a week of this routine and finally it changed.
Wayne Estate
"Richard come down here, I have a surprise for you!" boomed the loud voice of Bruce Wayne as he entered his home, not alone. Pamela Isley had both her arms wrapped around Bruce's large bicep. 'It'll be such a shame to kill this one' thought the evil woman 'he has such a great body' she smiled.
"You're early!" cried the ebony in delight as he slid backwards on the railing of the large stair case. "Well good day Ms. Isley" said Alfred coming in from the kitchen, whipping his hands on his apron. "Will you be joining us for dinner tonight?" asked the polite English man. Dick ran up to his father and practically knocked him on his back leaping into his arms.
"Actually Alfred it's part of the surprise I mentioned earlier" said Bruce rubbing the back of his head. "Me and Pamela have decided to get married" he said while Pamela lifted her left hand to show them the engagement ring. "What!" cried the butler in astonishment and echoed by Dick in disbelief.
"That's right we're all going be a family" said Bruce placing the little boy down and kneeling to his eye level. "Would you like that?" asked the older man to his child as he placed both hands on his shoulders. Dick looked to the woman behind his father to Alfred to back to Bruce. He didn't know what to say so instead he just ran.
Back up to his room and slammed the door behind him. He collapsed onto the big bed and silently wept. "How could he forget all about me" he wailed. "That dumb lady's taking daddy away from me" thought the poor boy. He turned over and grabbed pillow that Bruce used and buried his little face into it, at least it smelled like Bruce. "Doesn't he love my no more?"
Knock—knock—knock—knock sounded the door in frantic tempo "Richard…Please open the door" came the voice of Brice. "Please Richard, I want to talk to you" said the man in a sad yet firm tone. Sniffling, Dick lifted himself off the bed and walked to the big oak doors and unlocked it.
The door opened slowly to reveal a confused Bruce that turned into a hurt Bruce when he swathe state of his little boy. Bruce walked in and lifted the boy into his arms and closed the door behind him. "Dick please, tell me what's wrong" whispered the man into the child's hair. "You're going to get rid of me…" wailed the blue eyed baby, rubbing his eyes and sobbing uncontrollably.
"What!" Cried the man in shock. "Who said I'd get rid of you?" asked Bruce lifting the child chin up to look him in the eyes. "Th-th-the ladies fr-from work said" –hick-"that if you g-get married"-sniffle-"you'll s-s-send me aw-way to have your own f-ff-family" sobbed Richard. "No, no, no, no, Never!" said Bruce, enveloping the child with his body and rocking him back and forth.
"I'll never get rid of you Richard. You're my baby, my son and no matter what anyone says you'll always be important to me. I don't what to get rid of you. I just thought you'd be happier if we became a bigger family" confessed Bruce. "W-why?" asked the little boy in confusion. "I thought you wanted a mommy?" said Bruce in confusion.
"But I don't need another mommy. I just want you as my daddy" Dick said wrapping his arms around Bruce's neck and nuzzling his face under the man's chin. Bruce sighed in defeat and felt completely foolish. "I won't marry her if you don't want me to…" he said to his child "but you have to promise me… you'll always stay my son and you'll always remember how much I Love you..." he whispered. He smiled when he felt the Richard nod his head up and down.
"Do you still like her…?" hesitantly asked Dick. "I do… atleast I think I do. But I think it's time me and Pamela start to take things slow" sighed the man. How on earth did he propose to the woman in just a week? He can hardly remember anything they did during that time. "I'll go tell her that we should just be friends for now" he said as he laid Dick on the big bed and pulled the covers up to his chin.
He placed a big had on the little boy's forehead and kissed his temple "daddy wait…" said Dick grabbing onto the older man's hand before he could turn away. "If… if you wanna get married one day…it's ok with me…just" paused Dick looking down. "Just?" probed Bruce. "Just not right now" finished the little bird.
Bruce just smiled and nodded.
"Is the young master alright?" inquired Alfred, from his place, dutifully waiting outside the door when Bruce walked out. "He'll be fine" sighed Bruce "I think I might have jumped into things too fast though. I should go tell Pamela that the weddings off" monotone Bruce. "Good luck with that Master Bruce, you are most defiantly going to need it." "Thanks Alfred" winced Bruce, as he walked down the hall, trying to come up with a good thing to say that won't result in a slap to the face.
"I don't believe this!" screeched Pamela, throwing her hands up in fury. "I just think we both have gotten into this too fast" tried to explain Bruce "I mean there's so much we don't know about each other" like the fact I'm Batman "and it's not a right time for Richard, he feels to insecure right now for me to be with anyone right now" sighed Bruce.
"This is nuts, that brat isn't important to you" she yelled in a commanding voice. Now this got Bruce mad. "That brat, as you so put it, is my son, and nothing—nothing—is more important to me than knowing he'll be happy" his voice wasn't loud but his tone made it seem as if he had boomed it.
"Why isn't it working anymore?" growled Pamela. "What are you talking about?" Bruce asked narrowing his eyes. "This" she said as se grabbed Bruce's shirt and ripped it open, revealing the imbedded flower in his chest. "What the hell!" yelled the man "what is that!" he demanded. "I call it the black mercy, my own little baby power to enthrall men to anyone I see fit, or at least its what it's supposed to do" she huffed."
Bruce grabbed onto the flower and started pulling and tearing at it even with his hands becoming bloody. Ivy pulled out a bottle of pink liquid and tossed it at the struggling man. It shattered and engulfed him in a cloud of smoke. He coughed and hacked until he was on the ground eyes open but unresponsive.
"You are going to marry me whether you want to or not" she sniped.
