Luna remained glued to the wall as gunshots continued to ring out. Her hands covering her ears as the shots got louder and closer. Who the fuck would crash a gala with bullets? She thought to herself. Why the fuck did Bruce leave her alone? To her knowledge he wasn't a military man but she didn't know much, just that he had many girlfriends and he was rich. Still didn't give him a right to leave her alone.

"Well what do have here? Hiding like a snake in the grass."

Luna's eye flew up to look at the source of the voice. A man wearing a burlap sack with holes in it as a mask towered over her. He grabbed Luna by her bun and yanked her up and shoved her up against a wall. His hand remained trapped around her neck. Luna moved her knee up to kick him where it would definitely hurt but he blocked her kick and squeezed tighter. Luna was not much of a fighter. Rick was the fighter out of them and he was a damn good one.

The man leaned in closer to Luna and licked the side of her face. His breath smelled like cigarettes and cheap beer.

"You are quite the piece of ass. Well to look at anyway. Let's see if you feel just as great."

Luna's eyes widened in horror at the realization of his words. She began to kick and scream. The man squeezed even tighter around her neck causing her vision to fade around the corners and screaming to turn to whispers. Suddenly Luna was released and she slumped down to the ground coughing and waiting for her vision to clear. Whoever had helped her was dressed in all black and was beating the other man unconscious. The man dressed in black turned around and his eyes met Luna's. She quickly scurried away from him. Afraid maybe he had the same fate planned for her.

"I am not going to hurt you." The voice was rough and rugged. Most certainly very masculine. Luna just stared up at him wide eyed and confused. Was this the caped crusader she had heard so much about?

"Stay here." The man commanded her and she nodded her head. And backed herself into the corner as much as possible. Luna wasn't sure how much time went by but eventually the gunshots stopped and the police showed up and her brother and Bruce were out on the balcony talking to her. Their words were falling on deaf ears. Luna was replaying everything that had happened to her. There words sounded muffled and the lights seemed too bright as the led her out of the building towards and ambulance.

Reporters had shown up and were taking pictures. The bright lights from the flash caused Luna so snap out of her catatonic state.

"I'm not going to the hospital Rick. Please just take me home."

Rick looked down at Luna and clenched his jaw. He did not want to take her home to Steve. Who was probably going to be mad she was out late.

"No, you're going to my hotel suite. I just want to make sure you're okay tonight and then we can talk about you going home tomorrow. Bruce do you mind dropping her off for me? There is some stuff I need to go over with the police."

Bruce nodded his head and guided Luna away from the reporters and their cameras. His hand on the small of her back. She was pressed up against his side. For a moment her anger flared. How dare he leave her alone on that balcony to almost get raped? They were in his car and pulling out onto the main road. It was quit. Deathly quiet.

"Why did you leave me alone?" Luna said just above a whisper. The anger had dissipated and turned into hurt. Which Bruce could hear in her voice. A small part of him, the selfish part felt some small victory because Luna cared. He wasn't the only one who couldn't stop thinking about her. The other part felt bad because she thought he had abandoned her.

Bruce tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Hoping that this wouldn't come up. He hoped that she would just be thrilled she was saved. But of course she brought it up. Luna was always aware of her surroundings. Probably something her brother taught her.

"I was going to get help."

Lightning cracked through the sky and the heavens poured down on everything around them. Luna shuddered as the thunder followed suit. Thankful she was inside of the car. She had always hated thunderstorms.

"The man dressed in black on the balcony, was that Batman?"

Bruce nodded his head.

"Do you know him?" Luna asked curiously.

"I do not. I know that there is a light used to signal him and I only contacted the right people to do so."

Luna sat back in her seat, seemingly accepting Bruce's answer. It didn't add up to her why he had to leave her to go contact someone else so they could get help but whatever. He had saved her and at this point that's all that mattered to her.

"Well, if you ever see him again. Can you tell him I said thank you?"

Bruce nodded his head and the rest of the ride was spent in silence. He pulled up at the hotel and handed his keys to the valet. The rain was coming down hard and unfortunately Luna would have to get wet for about 5 seconds until they were under the awning.

Luna waited near the elevators as Bruce procured her brothers room key from the front desk. How he did it she didn't know. Well she suspected because he was well built and very handsome had something to do with the cute little blonde passing him the key and her number. Luna rolled her eyes. Of course women always made it easy for men. Which made it harder for the woman who didn't want to make it easy for them. Men should have to work hard to even gather their attention.

The elevator dinged and all too soon they were stepping out of it and walking up to the room door. The storm could still be heard wreaking havoc outside. Bruce was kind enough to walk her inside. Luna headed straight for the bedroom. Her brother was skinny so she could definitely fit into a pair of his sweatpants.

Bruce waited patiently in the kitchen as Luna went to go change. He needed to leave and go do some recon on why the scarecrow had busted up the gala. When usually that was Joker's thing.

"Can I get you something to drink?" Luna asked Bruce causing him to turn around. She was wearing a black t-shirt with no pants. Exposing her thick brown legs up to mid-thigh. It wasn't lost on Luna that Bruce was checking her out. She didn't mind. Most men did.

"Some water will be fine." Bruce finally replied, his eyes meeting hers. Luna nodded her head and went over to the refrigerator hoping it had water in it. Prayers being answered she tossed the bottle to Bruce and grabbed her cell phone out of her clutch. 9 missed calls from Steve. He was going to fucking kill her.

She pressed his name and put the phone up to her ear. He answered on the second ring.

"Where the fuck are you Luna? Do you have any idea how worried I've been?"

"I'm fine. I'm at Rick's hotel. A lot of stuff happened tonight at the-"

"Oh what you mean like you being seen leaving with Bruce Wayne. The same man who dropped you off last night? You're with him right now aren't you?"

Luna pinched the bridge of her nose. The fear of the storm and the fear of Steve's wrath making her panic. Bruce approached her and took the phone from her hands and ended the call. He powered it off and set the phone down on the counter and led Luna over to the couch where he sat down next to her.

'Luna you're shaking."

"It's the storm. I've always been afraid of them."

"You're afraid of him to."

Luna took a deep breath and slumped her shoulders. She didn't want to talk about her and Steve's relationship with a complete stranger. Yes he hit her but the two of them had experienced a loss that no one should have had too.

"Luna I know why you stay, I know what you've lost. You don't have stay because of that. Your brother cares about you. Maybe you should stay here for a bit with him and at least give you and Steve some space."

Bruce grabbed her hand and held it firmly in his hand.

"He didn't even ask if you were okay."

"You don't understand-"

"I don't need to." Bruce interrupted dropping her hand from his. He hadn't noticed when she walked in before but sitting on the couch he could see the bruises on her legs. Even the one forming on her neck but that wasn't from Steve.

His hand instinctively reached out and caressed one of the bruises on her thigh. Luna shuddered from his touch. It had been so long since Steve had touched her lovingly. Bruce's hand on her thigh had her skin on fire. She knew he didn't mean anything by it and she felt like such a teenager being turned on from his touch but it was so sensual.

Luna didn't understand what was going on. Why did Bruce have such an interest in her? They had just met each other.

"Why?" Luna asked taking a deep breath because he still hadn't removed his hand from her thigh.

"Why what?"

"Why do you care Mr. Wayne? Why an interest in me?"

Bruce smiled and moved closer to Luna. Her legs were now across his lap and she leaned back as he approached her.

"You are a beautiful woman Luna. I like beautiful women. I don't know why you have been the object of my attention for two days. But is it so wrong that I am attracted to you? That I want to get to know you?"

Bruce's face was inches away from hers. Luna looked at his lips and licked hers. She had never been one to cheat on someone before but her body was screaming for Bruce. Seeing her lick her lips was all the permission Bruce needed. He pressed his lips to Luna's and grabbed her so she was straddling his lap. Her hands were tangling themselves into his hair and his hands were squeezing the outside of her thighs. Bruce's kiss was dominant, he was definitely a leader. Lips, tongue and teeth were molding together, for what seemed like hours. Bruce even trailed little kisses down Luna's neck. His watch beeped alerting him he needed to go. Bruce gently pulled away from Luna. Kissing her lips again.

"I have to go."

Luna nodded her head and got off of him.

"Thank you Mr. Wayne. For everything."

Bruce stood up and pulled Luna closer.

"I want you to call me Bruce." He kissed her again just as the hotel room door opened revealing Rick. Luna stepped away from Bruce who said goodbye and walked out of the hotel room. Rick crossed his arms and smirked.

"I rushed here worried you would be traumatized. I was almost traumatized."

Luna rolled her eyes and turned around and headed into the bedroom.

"Shut up Rick."

"Oh I will not. So does this mean you guys are like a things now? You know the press was totally into the two of you. I mean you would think they would have been concerned with armed goons storming a fancy party but noooooo, they were all about you and Bruce." Rick said teasingly following her into the room.

"Shut up Rick, please." Luna busied herself turning down the bed.

Rick paused and parked himself up against the dresser.

"Hey, this is my bed."

"Your bed is the couch tonight. I'm tired." Luna threw a pillow at him and slid into bed. Pulling the covers up to her chest. Rick sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at his sister.

"I'm glad you're here Luna."

"Me too."

Rick kissed the top of his sister's head and headed out into the living room. He was beat and for the first time since June disappeared, he felt a little better. It was nice to have his sister back.
