Another take on nightmares, but something rather different this time. ;-P
Warning: Again, this has very, very, very, very mild M. Rating of story will not change.
Timeline: After the events in TDK.

Nightmares II
"No..., no..."
The girl awakens, squinting at the sun that shines through the windows.
"No..."
The blanket is suddenly pulled away and naked, she shivers in the sudden chill.
She looks at him. His hair is tousled, his face blank, inscrutable - and then it contorts painfully and she hears him moan, "Rachel..." before he turns away.
She sighs, stares out of the window, watches the snow fall.
Looks back and starts to stroke his hair. He jerks, then relaxes. She stares at the scar on his shoulder.
Then lies down and holds him, as he dreams of another woman.

It's not easy being the other woman.
For some reason, I really like this drabble. Maybe because even all those gold-diggers also have a heart. Or maybe simply because it's Angst!Bruce again. LOL. I can't resist.
Thanks for reading, and have a nice day!
