Chapter 6

Corinna walked up to Terry and stood right in front of him. She stood eye-to-eye with him, and she leaned closer. She felt his breathing speed up because his breath was slightly blowing her hair. She lifted her hand up slightly and held it beside his cheek.

Terry cringed and shut his eyes. His mind was thoroughly confused with his surroundings, and he was getting mixed signals about what to do. He wanted to stay there with the strange woman, but he wanted to get to his job as Batman. Neither side of his mind gave in an inch.

"I have to go," he told her and began to walk away.

Corinna grabbed hold of Terry's arm. She had a tight grip and caused Terry to stumble back towards her. He stared at her bewildered by her strength, and he began to struggle against her iron grip. But, Corinna just pulled him over into a nearby alley.

Corinna pushed Terry against a steel wall and held him there. "Where are you off to in such a hurry? Some girl's place?" Corinna knew better but asked just to break Terry's mind down.

There was a pain stricken look that crossed Terry's face as he shook his head. His jet black hair tossed about as he shook his head. "No," he whispered.

Corinna felt a moment of sympathy for Terry seeing him so vulnerable and pitiful. She'd never experienced love and never cared to. Her family had been taken away from her at a young age, and she feared losing people close to her heart. She was surprised that Synthroid was still there, but he was half-machine and super strong. So, Corinna had no idea what Terry was going through; but then again, neither did he.

"Please, just leave me alone." Terry said as he stood up straight and tried to play it cool; Corinna saw right through his act.

"You're in no condition to go anywhere." Corinna replied.

"I've got work to do tonight." Terry informed her.

"Looks like you're going to miss it."

"No, I won't." Terry said bringing his leg up between Corinna and himself and pushed her away.

Corinna stumbled back a few feet as Terry began to run, so she ran after him. Even in boots, Corinna was able to catch up with him. She slammed her body against his and pinned him to the ground. Cars passed by as she felt his body tremble under her hold. His reactions frightened her, and she lifted her hands off of his back.

Terry didn't try to get away, and he didn't have the strength to even try. So, he laid under with Corinna's knee against his spine, which was terribly uncomfortable for him. His thoughts drifted back to Dana, and his breathing changed. He was mourning her leave once again, and it was a weakness that would kill him yet.

Corinna slowly rose off of Terry's back and watched him closely as he laid there on the asphalt. She crouched down and was about to touch his shoulder when he got up on his knees. He turned and looked at her with a mournful look, and Corinna couldn't control herself. She felt sorry for Terry and softly stroked his back. His back muscles tensed up at her touch, and she stood up.

Corinna walked over to Terry's fallen motorcycle and picked it up. He rose off of the asphalt and walked towards her. She mounted the vehicle and started it up, and she watched Terry's eyes go from pitiful and mourning to hard and cold. It was a look she could relate to. She pulled off with the motorcycle, and Terry jumped out of the way.

Terry wasn't about to let Corinna get away with his motorcycle, and he hopped onto the back of it. Corinna turned and faced him, laughing as she watched him hold on tightly. She had new plans, and they involved getting Terry to her hideout. Of course, she would have to make sure Terry wouldn't remember how to get there. So, she pulled out a spray bottle from a pocket on her right boot and sprayed a thick liquid in Terry's eyes.

Terry cried out and rubbed his eyes. The liquid made his vision go black, and he began to freak out. "What the hell did you do to me," he yelled.

"Just a small dose of a toxin a friend designed. Don't worry, you'll eyesight will be back in a few minutes." Corinna replied grinning.

The motorcycle arrived at the building that Synthroid had chosen for his hideout. It was dark, darker than usual, so Corinna knew Synthroid had all ready made his leave. So, she drove Terry's motorcycle around back next to the elevator that went up to her room. She glanced back at Terry, who was still rubbing at his eyes; she was sure his sight was close to clearing up.

Corinna shut off the motorcycle and hopped off. She strolled up to the eye scanner in front of the door. It scanned her retina's and pupils before processing. "You are clear to enter," it told her.

Corinna thought, 'No kidding,' as she strolled back over to Terry and pulled him off of the motorcycle.

Terry didn't fight Corinna, mostly because he couldn't see her and didn't know what she'd do to him if he fought back. So, he let her shove him through a doorway; he knew it was a doorway because his right shoulder hit the frame of it. He cried out in pain, and Corinna let out a frustrated sigh. "Where are you taking me," he asked angrily. Terry didn't like not being able to see where he was.

"Somewhere more private for discussing private matters," she informed him as she pressed the activation button on the elevator.

The elevator roared to life as it dropped down to floor one. The translucent, neon blue doors parted for entry. Corinna gave Terry a nice hard shove into the elevator before stepping in herself. "Hey, what was that for?" Terry grumbled as he rubbed the arm that slammed into the back of the elevator.

Corinna had a rush of ecstasy surge through her, and she held Terry against the wall. Not being able to see made him really worried, and his breathing was more of a pant. Corinna leaned in close and hesitated for a moment before pressing her lips hard against Terry's. She was curious to know what his mouth tasted like, and she forced his mouth open with her tongue. He didn't fight her, but he didn't move from where he was standing.

Corinna's hands slid down the wall, onto Terry's strong shoulders, then down his muscular chest. He tensed up at her touch, but she pushed through his reaction. Making out with Terry had opened up new and exhilarating doors to curiosity.

The elevator doors opened, and Corinna pulled Terry out of the elevator before releasing him from a kiss. She saw him blinking repeatedly, and she knew his sight was coming back to him. She walked over to the eye scanner in front of her door, and it cleared her to enter. Corinna reached over, grabbed Terry's wrist and pulled him into her apartment.

Terry was struggling against his mind, but Corinna had brought feelings to the surface that Terry was ashamed to feel. He wanted to follow Corinna wherever she would lead, and that brought protest from his conscience. But, he ignored that nagging voice and let Corinna pull him into a new room. His sight could make out blurs, but that was it.

Corinna quickly shoved her ninja gear underneath her bed and pulled Terry in front of her. She slid her hands underneath his jacket and began pulling it off. He stood still as the brown jacket was pulled from his body and tossed aside. Once again, Corinna ran her hands down Terry's chest and thought over what she was doing. She didn't feel there was anything wrong with what she was doing, so she pushed Terry down.

Terry was a little worried until his back hit the softness of Corinna's bed. Up until then, he thought she'd just pushed him over. His sight was a little more clear, and he could see Corinna's eyes pretty clearly. They were icy blue but had a warm quality at that moment. Her raven hair spilt down over her shoulders and onto his arms. He reached up and his touch told him that Corinna's hair was soft and silky.

Corinna leaned down and stared into Terry's light, light blue eyes. They were searching her face, and stopped at her mouth. Preoccupied with his eyes, Corinna jerked a little when Terry's hands grasped her hips. She wasn't sure what to think about that, but it made her heart flip.

Corinna slid her body down flat against Terry's, and caressed his cheek. He was handsome; she had to admit it. Knowing that Terry was Batman made what she was doing even more thrilling. Never had she broke barriers in her work, but she was breaking nearly every barrier she had there with Terry.

While Corinna was lost in thought, Terry leaned up and brushed his lips against hers, which caught her by surprise. She hadn't expected Terry to react, but the heat that rushed through her body told her that it was a good thing. So, she pressed her mouth firmly against Terry's--forcing him down further on her bed.

Finally, Terry's conscience had no control over him. He put all problems in his life to the side as he welcomed Corinna's affections. However, he did realize that he didn't know her name. So, he pulled his mouth away from hers.

"You didn't tell me your name." Terry was breathless from the kissing.

"Corinna," she whispered in his ear before resuming the kiss. Corinna had to admit she certainly had Terry distracted.
