Theme #4 (our distance and that person): Waiting
He is waiting to return to her, but he doesn't realize it yet. They had been close once - when it was just the two of them against the evil in the world, fighting side by side, complimenting each other, always watchful. He yearns for that closeness again unconsciously every time their eyes meet, hers glancing off the mask, his boring into her face.
There is urgency in the space between, because another has come to disturb the blissful ignorance of his path toward and away from her. His arch-enemy, Slade - that bastard, wants her for his own nefarious plans, has violated her in ways he can only imagine in his nightmares, waits for her even more intently than he does.
But he keeps his silence, waiting for the right time to make his move even as he watches the immovable moon-kissed palor of her cheek, stark against the starless night. There will be time, and they will connect again in dreams. Every night, he hopes it will last forever. Every day, he forgets she was even there.
And he is still waiting, waiting to touch her again.
