Good Night dear readers, first of all, this note will be copied and pasted in my other stories so if you read the note in one of them you can just enjoy your chapter. THIS is a very important note, so here it goes: I know I've been off the grid for a couple of months here in FF, while I didn't stop writing completely I've had a few rough months, my health has not been good altogether and I changed jobs (to a better one thankfully) and I also started my thesis investigation because I will soon be graduating and I actually have to write the thesis, so yeah, I've been busy. I also wrote a few short stories about me being bitter AF about civil war that you can find in my AO3 account under the name of LadyNoir if any of you are interested.
If the fic you're reading was not updated this time around, don't worry, chapters are halfway done as I've encountered a few blocks along the way, the stories will be updated, they are not abandoned. I will someday in the future be retaking other WIP's that I have in my computer and in my AO3 account, those will be updated (probs in December 2017 or January 2018 after handing in my thesis project) so please don't despair.
Also the Supernatural Fic chapter one will be posted one of these days so if you like Supernatural and belong to the SPNFamily and like me got a terrible case of the Hellatus, the fic will be posted soon, probably in the next few weeks. What I can tell you is that it will be Dean/Alex, and that I will be exploring another side of Alex (hopefully one you will like).
And for those of you who like The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, I finally found the muse for the story, so by october or november (depends on how hard the plot hits me, seriously most of these stories write themselves until they don't and then this happens) Just please keep in mind that I'm a student that's finishing her career and that I will be devoting most of my time to my thesis in the next few months.
But I'm alive and well, and still writing (mostly in my iPad with lots of typos that I can never seem to fix completely) so you'll have also several one shots running around.
Thank you for reading my stories, it means a lot to me.
Alex.
Ps. I have a few questions for you, please answer in the reviews if you may :)
1. Did you really read all the note?
Writing Style. Third Person or First Person? Does Alexandra often seems like a Mary Sue? Am I making the characters justice? Do you like this particular story? Why? Would you check the AO3 stories? What is your favorite color?Bruce woke up with a jolt, he forced himself to a sitting position, he looked to his side to find Alexandra peacefully sleeping by his side, she was sleeping on her stomach the bed sheet down to her lower back, her bare back exposed to him, her hair covered the pillow, she looked so innocent, so young, Bruce noticed that she had small scars on her back, faint almost invisible lines marring her tanned skin, by the sight of them they were old. He traced one of them with his finger wondering what had caused them; she stirred ever so slightly mumbling something. Bruce looked at his clock it was half past three, he sighed.
"Bruce?" Asked Alexandra softly, she lifted her head from the pillow, holding herself up with her elbows, her long hair keeping her chest away from his sight "something's wrong?"
"No" he said a little too quickly, she squinted her eyes.
"Come here" she said patting the space next to her, Bruce shifted so he was laying right next to her, she latched on to him using his chest as a pillow, her skin was cold against his.
"You're cold" he said, she patted his abs.
"Go to sleep Bruce" she ordered sleepily, Bruce held her closely and closed his eyes willing himself to sleep, now comforted by the fact that Alexandra was right next to him and she was not going anywhere.
When Alexandra woke up again she was still half on top of Bruce, she smiled at his sleepy form, his hands were wrapped securely around her waist, so she was not going anywhere for a while, she smiled as she remembered how Bruce had made love to her the night before, first rough and passionate as if to burn all the tension and desire and then sweet and gentle as if he could somehow break her. She started tracing patterns on his chest; she ran her fingers over a particular nasty scar, the skin felt rugged under her finger,
"Found something interesting?" He asked groggily, she looked up like a deer caught in headlights and blushed.
"Everything about you is interesting" she said, a shy smile on her face. Bruce smiled at her.
"Am I?" He asked; she nodded.
"Yeah, you have that tall, dark and mysterious thing going on, its pretty hot" she admitted, Bruce smirked.
"How about you, you have that sweet, innocent and kind thing going on" he said, Alexandra pouted.
"I can be mean if I want to" she said; he chuckled.
"I think its safe to say there's not a mean bone in your body" he said, she smirked at him.
"Well not at the moment" Bruce's eyes widened.
"Did you just?" He asked bewildered, Alexandra just giggled. "Was that a?"
"Dick joke?" She asked innocently, Bruce narrowed his eyes.
"Come here" he said, she slid up his chest until their lips touched, Bruce kissed her lazily running his hands down her bare back. "You are one naughty woman," he murmured against her lips.
"Am I now? I thought you said I was innocent" she said with a cheeky smile, Bruce kissed her again and flipped them over so he was on top of her.
"My mistake, you and innocent don't go in the same sentence" he growled against her neck, Alexandra squirmed under his kisses.
"Really?" She managed to say as Bruce's light stubble tickled her; she scratched Bruce's back as he bit down a particular soft spot on her neck. "Bruce" she warned, but he kept kissing her, his right hand running down her stomach in a teasing manner.
"So fucking beautiful" he murmured before capturing her lips again, the very intimate moment coming to an end when Alexandra's alarm rang, he moved to the side so she could turn the offending thing off.
"I have to go to work," she said pouting; Bruce rolled his eyes.
"You should stay here" he said, she sat on bed and smiled at him.
"As much as I would love to stay I have a company to run, your company" she said, Bruce huffed and she smirked, she stood from the bed, Bruce's eyes following her every movement, she grabbed a bathrobe that was laying on a chair covering herself with it "You know, your shower's big enough for two and I'm going in" she said with a sly smile, Bruce didn't need to be told twice before he stood and followed her in.
Alexandra sat on her desk reviewing her day's work, it was still early, barely eleven am, and her secretary had just brought in coffee. Gotham was strangely sunny but cold; one could feel the icy winter breeze starting to settle. Her first Christmas in Gotham City; Alexandra wondered if Bruce or Alfred bothered with decorations or anything of the likes, she had always loved Christmas, her family always got together on Christmas, she smiled softly as she remembered the good times of her old life, moments that seemed so far away now. Her secretary who cleared her throat brought Alexandra out of her musings, Alexandra looked up a bit dazed.
"I'm sorry Angela, were you saying anything?" she asked; Angela nodded.
"There is a woman Miss Amanda Waller, she wishes to speak to Mister Wayne, I informed her that he is not in the building, but she insists Miss Pennyworth" explained Angela, Alexandra nodded and stood from her desk.
"Let Miss Waller in Angela, I'll see to her needs, thank you" said Alexandra as she walked to one of the glass panels.
"You're not Bruce Wayne" said a voice behind her, she turned keeping a straight face.
"I believe Miss Waller that Angela informed you that Mr. Wayne is not here anymore, while he is still our boss he named me CEO a couple of months ago, Alexandra Pennyworth at your service" said Alexandra extending her hand, Amanda Waller shook her hand "How may I help you Miss Waller?"
"You could start by getting Mr. Wayne here, is an urgent matter" she said, Alexandra's eyes narrowed.
"Problem is Miss Waller that while I do know Mr. Wayne he is not scheduled to be here today, but I assure you that I can relay any message that you may have for him" Alexandra, her voice gaining an icy edge.
"And what would Mr. Wayne do instead of managing his own business?" asked Waller, Alexandra rolled her eyes.
"Well you must be living under a rock Miss Waller, our Metropolis offices suffered enough when the Superman incident, Mr. Wayne has enough trying to resolve the matters, we lost personnel and a whole building, compensating the families and the wounded have been the company's and Mr. Wayne's top priority" Alexandra explained, Waller nodded unhappy. "So, what can I do for you Miss Waller?" asked Alexandra with a slight smirk.
"Tell Mr. Wayne to expect my call Miss Pennyworth" Waller said, Alexandra raised an eyebrow and watched as Waller left, she waited a few minutes before calling Bruce.
"Amanda Waller was here a couple of minutes ago looking for you" she said.
"How do you know her?" he asked, Alexandra rolled her eyes even though Bruce couldn't see her.
"Honey, did you forgot already where I come from?" she asked, she heard Bruce sight.
"Right, any ideas why she was looking for me?"
"I may have an inkling, she will contact you so be ready"
"Anything else?"
"Not at all, the metropolis offices are coming around quite nicely, maybe in January we'll start operating there again"
"That's good"
"That's excellent, but since we all want that to happen I have to go"
"Have fun?"
"Mmmm… maybe once I get back home we will" her voice sounded teasing.
"Alexandra" he warned, she giggled.
After ending the conversation with Bruce she went back to her desk, there were a few things that she needed to review before going home.
Bruce sat on his chair in the cave holding a small box in his hands; Alfred was observing him with an interested look on his face. He placed the box on his desk and looked at Alfred, the butler shrugged.
"I've known her for almost half a year Alfred, she's been living here for that time" said Bruce, Alfred raised an eyebrow.
"And what would your point be Master Wayne?" he asked. Bruce sighed.
"I want her to be mine, officially, but also she deserves better than me" he said, Alfred raised both eyebrows.
"It is human nature to want someone at any given point of life Master Wayne, and miss Alexandra is an exceptional person who has not only put on with your life for the past six months but she knows the other aspects of your life and accept them and even encourages it" explained Alfred, Bruce nodded.
"She's one of a kind," Bruce said.
"She reminds me of your mother, sometimes I can see Martha Wayne come alive in her" admitted Alfred, Bruce raised an eyebrow.
"I can understand then why they bothered with love" Bruce said, Alfred crossed his arms.
"They would've liked her"
"I know"
When she arrived home everything was strangely silent, she placed her keys by the table along with her purse as she walked in, when she walked into the living room Bruce was sitting on the couch looking straightforward.
"Bruce, is something wrong?" she asked, he looked up at her and frowned.
"No" he answered as he stood "I want you to come somewhere with me" he said suddenly grabbing her hand and leading her outside.
"Bruce? Where are we going?" she asked.
"You'll see" he answered, they both got into his car, he easily drove them coming to stand in front of the old abandoned Wayne Manor, he walked out the car Alexandra close behind him.
"Bruce honestly you're creeping me out " she said as she tried to keep of with him, he didn't walk into the Manor, instead he took her to the graves of his parents; Alexandra hesitated in the doorway. Bruce turned to look at her, he extended his hand to her; she took it and walked inside.
"I wanted you to meet my parents" he said softly, Alexandra squeezed his hand.
"Bruce" she said looking at him with a small smile on her face "Thank you"
"What for?" he asked.
"For trusting me, for showing me that life doesn't have to be dull, for being you" she said tenderly, Bruce smiled at her.
"I want to thank you too, for bringing me outside the routine, for supporting me" he said, she cupped his face in her hands.
"How could I not? Since the moment you found me you became my dark knight, it's the least I could do" she murmured, Bruce pressed a kiss to her nose. "I love you Bruce Wayne, been loving you for quite a while now"
"That's a good thing" he said pressing a chaste kiss to her lips "Otherwise this would be extremely embarrassing" he said before going down in one knee; Alexandra's eyes widened. "Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Yes" she said softly first, she then laughed "YES!" Bruce stood and scooped her in his arms, he carefully slid the ring on her finger and Alexandra captured his lips in a kiss.
"I love you" he murmured against her lips.
"I love you too"
"Alexandra Wayne, has a nice ring to it," said Bruce, he and Alexandra were both on his bed lounging, she giggled.
"It does" she said with a smile on her face, "How does a winter wedding sounds to you?" she asked after a while, he looked at her.
"Are we going for a full ceremony?" he asked, she shrugged.
"As long as I get to have you forever we could get married in the cave for all care, although I'd love to wear a white dress" she said, Bruce smiled at her.
"I'm a public person, they press would roast me if I get married in secret" he joked; she smiled.
"They will roast you either ways for marrying a young, innocent girl" she teased, Bruce pressed a kiss to her cheek, she loved seeing him so careless, he looked so bright in those rare moments, she wanted to live in a moment like that forever with him.
"I thought we agreed that you and innocent don't really go together" he said making her smile; she traced his jaw with her finger.
"I forgot" she said, a sly smile on her face.
"Guess we'll have to remedy that" Bruce said pulling her closer to him. He started kissing her neck.
"Let's not get sidetracked" she managed to say, Bruce stopped kissing her.
"Sidetracked? Me?" he said sounding offended, "You want to wear a white dress at the wedding and get married in the cave, I'm pretty sure Alfred can get an internet degree to do that" Bruce joked, Alexandra smiled at him.
"And while we're at that, why don't you get married in the batsuit?" she teased; Bruce raised an eyebrow.
"Its not a bad idea" he said, a smile playing on his lips.
"As long as you don't wear the cowl I have no problem with that" Bruce pressed a kiss to her lips, she giggled into the kiss.
"I still don't like this" Alexandra said as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.
"I don't like it much either but Bruce Wayne has obligations to the gothamites" Bruce explained as he started to knot his tie, Alexandra turned to face him grabbing the blue tie from his hand and tying it expertly, Bruce raised an eyebrow.
"Only girl living with a bunch of guys" she said as an explanation "And my mom was not the girlish woman around, although she could be really elegant if she wanted to"
"Always surprising me" Bruce said, Alexandra rolled her eyes.
"Its just a tie knot not rocket science, trust me we would be pretty fucked up if your car was to break down in the middle of the road" she said with a smile.
"We would not and my car wouldn't break down," Bruce countered, Alexandra rolled her eyes playfully "You look beautiful tonight" he said out of the blue.
"You look extremely handsome yourself Mister Wayne" she said fixing up his collar, he grabbed her hands and pulled her into a kiss.
"Let's go, Gotham's Natural History Museum awaits" he said offering his arm to her, she took it gingerly and so off they went.
As expected they caused quite a stir when they arrived, Gotham's Prince in arms with his CEO, and the press was keen to spot the ring that adorned her finger. It was a beautiful delicate thing that had once belonged to Martha Wayne. Alexandra was dressed in a dark blue slim backless dress with a low V-neck cut; her long hair fell in soft curls down her back and the dress shimmered lightly under the lights. Bruce wore a navy blue suit complete with waistcoat with a dark grey dress shirt, the outfit ended with a blue tie that matched Alexandra's dress, his hair was swept back in a stylish manner that looked that it only could be achieved by him only. They looked like the socialite couple that they were, Bruce arm stayed protectively around Alexandra's waist and he smirked occasionally as other men eyed his date with hungry eyes.
"Bruce honey, if you keep looking at that man any longer he will piss himself" she murmured to him as they stood in front of one of the pieces in the exposition.
"Well he should not be looking at you like that" he said as he pressed a possessive kiss on her neck, Alexandra chuckled.
"I think everyone here has gotten the message, I'm property of Bruce Wayne, back off" she pointed out; Bruce smirked.
"Good"
"You know with your playboy persona I never took you for the possessive type" she said after a while, Bruce raised an eyebrow.
"Playboy persona?" he asked, she smiled at him.
"It was all in the comics love, and the movies, and the animated series" she said trying to conceal a smile; Bruce glared at the painting in front of them.
"I'm not completely sure how to feel about that" he admitted, she giggled.
"Don't mind it much, you won't see me complain about it" she told him.
"Sometimes I wonder if it's the character you see rather than me" he said softly, she frowned.
"Well, you know, its not an animated character that has been making me scream his name for the past few nights in a row, if I had known that you were this good I would have jumped in bed with you a long time ago" she said, a smirk on her face, Bruce looked pleased by her commentary.
"I live to please my lady" he said tightening his grip on her waist, he dipped his head so he could whisper in her ear "And I'm just counting the minutes down so I can have you back on my bed begging for me to fill you up" the hairs on the back of Alexandra's neck stood as Bruce voice gained that rough edge that she loved.
"Mr. Wayne, Miss Pennyworth" interrupted a voice, Alexandra had to stop herself from sighing, they both turned to come to face with a small stocky man "Edmund Madison" the man presented himself, both Bruce and Alexandra shook his hand "Are you both enjoying the exposition?" he asked, Alexandra smiled at him.
"It has been fantastic Mr. Madison, thank you for the invite" she said, the man grinned at her.
"There is nothing to thank for Miss Pennyworth, you and Mr. Wayne will always be welcome to come, oh and congrats in your engagement, about time Mr. Wayne" the man blabbered a few more things before leaving.
"It seems that people have taken the news of our engagement well" commented Bruce as they made their way outside of the exhibit.
"Not everyone" assured him Alexandra "Many women looked like they wanted to rip my head off" she joked; Bruce rolled his eyes.
"They're just jealous" he said, Alexandra laughed.
"Oh I realized that, most of them will probably bet on how long our engagement or marriage will last" Alexandra pointed out; Bruce gave her a sharp look.
"And what do you think? Do you think we'll last?" he asked, she grinned at him and gave him a quick discreet kiss.
"Oh honey, I have news for you, since the moment you slid that ring on my finger you just became mine, forever, no going back" she said teasingly, Bruce smiled.
"Good we're on the same page then" he said leading her to the car.
