The End, chapter 8
"Where have you been? This had been over two days…you missed university integration day" he asked her right away as she entered her room.
He was sited on her bed, flipping though her high school yearbook.
"Out, had an old friend to visit" without looking at him, she went to her wardrobe, grabbed her travel bag and began stuffing things in it.
"You wouldn't disobey me on purpose, right? And where do you think you are going?"
"I'm a grown girlMr.Wayne, I don't owe you any explanations"
As she gave him that 'Mr. Wayne' she knew she had hurt his feelings, she could see it in his eyes. But that didn't stop her, far from it, it fuelled her.
"Barbara needs me. She and Dinah are the only family I ever had"
Standing up, he stood in front of her, hands on her shoulders, efficiently blocking her. An irritated sigh escaped her lips as she threw the jacket she had in hand on the bed, and then looked up at him, her pupils those of a cat.
"Don't ever touch me again," she growled.
She bent to get free, grabbing her bag in the process before heading to the door. As she felt him lay a hand on her shoulder again, she turned around harshly, took his hand in a firm grip before sending him flying across the room. As he struggled to sit up, she hovered over him, her eyes locked with his.
"I'm going back home, where my family is. If you want to stop me, give it a try, I'll be happy to return any blow. Oh and that belongs to you."
She deposed next to him on the floor the pair of sapphire earrings he had offered her as a reunion gift on their first dinner together.
"Next time you try to control my every thought, or track me down, try to make it less obvious. I might not be as brilliant as Barbara but the stratagem was rather childish."
Winking at him, she ran downstairs, kissed the cheek of a blushing Alfred, then headed towards the hospital.
Alfred went to Miss Helena's room to find Master Bruce rubbing the back of his neck, wincing at the pain. He took pity of him, gesturing for him to sit on the bed. He returned a few minutes later with a handful of glass.
"Master Bruce if I may say so, Miss Helena is a very brilliant woman, I told you you'll be proud of her" he remarked, grinning behind Bruce Wayne's back, knowing he couldn't see him, and unable to resist the urge.
