The Documentary: The Rooftop
Alone, he stood or rather kneeling against the old half molded face of an gargoyle. Looking down upon the figures through the cold night in Gotham. A bell went off, he thought to himself
"It never stops. Not a heartbeat to slow, not a pin drop to fast."
He extended his arms, and jumped the eight stories to the ground below, drop kicking one of the three late night thieves. "IT'S BATMAN!" another screamed. Just as quick as he had landed, Batman threw a bat-a-rang with enough force behind it to shatter the ground he stood on. The two men continued running towards their getaway truck till they were halted by the mammoth size fist that happened to belong to a man like no other. Both men were sent flying through the air till they landed at the feet of Batman. The man who took care of only a small part of Batman's late night shift, was no other than Superman. After the three men were taken care of by the proper authorities, both heroes rose to the rooftop above.
"No one in that damn tower seems to listen anymore." said Batman staring into the bright lights of the city streets.
"What do you mean?" Supes replied.
"You're here, I do recall specifically saying not to enter Gotham."
"Im here not for the league's sake, but for yours." Superman said finally gaining an eye-to-eye view of his face.
Batman continued to be silent, mentally refusing not to speak, forcing Superman to speak again. "Its hurting her too, Bruce. Im starting..." he started before the knight cut him off.
"Does it really matter? Your opinion on what I do won't change what 'they' do. I have my reasons."
The cold night grew colder as both men seemed to ignore each other. Till one spoke...
"I love her. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't think about what could be." said Batman now looking into the black sky above.
"What should be. Your not invincible, none of us are. We are all imperfect, and thats what makes us special." Supes replied.
"Spare me the motivation speech, im not a child."
"Fine, just understand its not Joker, Two-Face, Clayface, or any one else's fault that you have no relationship, its yours. Im here as a friend not as enemy. Not for her alone, and I know that you know this. Bruce not as Batman wants this, so just let it happen." As Superman stood and turned his back to him, Batman spoke once more.
"I know I want it to happen. There's to much of a risk, and I care too much for something to happen." he said never turning around.
"Humph." Superman grunted with a hint of laughter. "You do realize, she is an Amazon warrior princess, don't you...Think about it some more Bruce. She needs to know and I won't relay the message."
Short, I know. Boring, again I know. But still review. Its going to be a pretty short story. This was just a quick write after I saw the "BATMAN BEGINS" preview on WB. Well read and review and review some more.
