A/N: So here's another chapter. Not too happy with this one but the next one will be better I promise. Let me know what you think.
Pokemon Guest- No this will not be 3-way relationship. Those take a lot more effort to write. I'll end up getting writers block if I do that. Love triangle for sure. Thank you so much for your review.
Welisarne- All answers about Steve will be answered including he and Luna's back story. I've actually been writing that chapter just don't know when I'll finish it up and post it. Thank you so much for your review.
cBrownEyedGirlx- I wasn't planning on him telling her. It just happened. Let me know what you think of Bruce and his bullshit. I always look forward to see your feedback.
angelicedg- You're welcome! I hope you enjoy this chapter too. Thank you for your review.
Bruce had left before the sun came up that morning. Luna just assumed he went into work early. She slept in and by the time she woke up Rick was downstairs waiting for her. They spent the afternoon shopping for their new home and going over what he had discussed with June. She pretty much told him that Luna didn't need to get shit faced and perhaps maybe she should try calling on that energy when she was sober.
Bruce hadn't texted all day which was a little off putting but Luna shrugged it off. The best couples weren't up each other's asses all day and if Bruce wasn't busy he would be texting her. Still Luna couldn't shake the bad feeling she had.
Luna had managed to drag Rick to a paint store located in the not so great part of town. Luna remembered the shop from when her and Steve arrived and bought paints. She refused to look at white walls a day. Their home was going to be a reflection of both of them. Well more so Luna because Rick didn't give a rats ass if the walls were pink.
Luna had straightened her hair and it was hanging down to her mid back and swishing as she held up different color swatches. Rick rolled his eyes as the clerk couldn't even maintain eye contact with his sister. He wondered if she knew about the hold she had over men. If she realized just how much every single one of them who laid eyes on her wanted her. It has always been that way since she was young. Rick had gotten into plenty of fights defending his sister's honor. She was a good girl. Just a good girl with a foul mouth. Then when her accident happened and she met Steve she changed. She became introverted and cynical. She still maintained a level of pleasantries and niceness but she had become weak and boring.
Rick understood though. Well he understood as best he could. He didn't have some funky juju floating around in his body making him do weird shit.
"So which one do you like Rick?"
He sucked his teeth and pointed at both of them. She had to be kidding.
"Luna are you blind? They're both red."
She looked down at the paint swabs and then narrowed her eyes.
"You must be blind because they're two different shades Rick."
"Luna, seriously, I don't care what color goes where. You can paint whatever room, whatever color including mine. Don't make me pick colors. I'm just here as the taxi."
Luna rolled her eyes and put her hand on her hip and shook her finger at Rick.
"I feel bad for your future wife. She's going to have a tough time wedding planning."
Rick shook his head.
"No she won't. She'll have you. You guys will probably plan the world's best wedding."
Luna laughed, which caused some of her hair to fall over her shoulder.
"Yeah you're right about that. You need to hurry up and get married so I can be an aunt!"
Ricks scoffed. "The same could be said for you. I mean you're actually the one doing stuff that would bring kids into the world. I'm celibate."
"Bitch please. If you're celibate I'm celibate."
"Excuse me ma'am I found these in the back. I think you might like this one." The clerk interrupted Rick before he could clap back. Luna winked at him and turned to follow the clerk towards the back of the store.
Rick pulled out his cellphone and had a text from Bruce.
"Having some issues with work. Keep Luna with you tonight?"
Rick thought the request was weird. Why didn't he just tell her himself?
"Yeah sure, no problem. Everything alright?"
Rick waited for a response.
"Everything is fine. Just don't want her waiting up for me."
Well that's was as good as reason as any. Rick pocketed his cell phone and pulled out his credit card to pay for all the stupid paints and painters Luna wanted.
Luna was sitting in the living area using Ricks laptop to do some shopping online. Her Birthday was coming up and she wanted to look really pretty because Rick was throwing her a party. Even though she didn't know anyone in Gotham, Rick did. Also he was inviting his little squad of misfits, which Luna didn't mind. She just wanted Bruce to be there and for him to not be able to take his eyes off of her. She even was flying her old hairstylist out to Gotham because she just couldn't find someone she trusted to do her coils yet.
Looking at the clock it was well after 10pm and Luna had racked up quite the bill ordering kitchen shit, bathroom shit, hallway shit and all the other useless shit that women used to decorate their homes. Seemingly satisfied she picked up her phone and checked for any texts or missed calls. Nothing. Bruce hadn't contacted her all day. He had texted her brother but she hadn't heard from him. Was he mad at her? Maybe he was getting cold feet and regretted telling her that he loved her. Luna decided to text him first. Maybe he was thinking the same thing about her, after all, the phone worked both ways.
"I miss you." Was all Luna texted and set her phone back down on the table. Rick had been picked up by Amanda but promised her he would be back sometime late that morning, so Luna was all alone. She was trying not to let her insecurities get the best of her but something was not right. She decided to take Rick's rental and head out to Wayne Manor. At the very least she could say she missed Marley.
"You can only stay tonight Selina. I want you gone by morning."
Selina took off her boots and smiled up at Bruce seductively.
"Little Brucie doesn't want to play? I haven't been gone that long."
Bruce maintained his position near the door.
"I'm allowing you to be here because you've helped me in the past. Don't take my kindness for weakness."
Selina stood up and walked over to Bruce. She slid her hand up the front of his jacket. The other gently stroking his cheek.
"Mmmm Bruce. I know you. I know you very well. Well enough to know that your mouth says one thing but your actions say another."
Selina pressed her body up against his. Bruce placed his hands on her hips. It was to push her away gently. Or at least that's what he told himself. Selina smiled and purred. She didn't care who he had decided to play house with. All she cares about was the intimacy. She had known no greater lover than Bruce. Especially when he was angry.
Selina latched her fingers into Bruce's hair and hopped up wrapping her legs around Bruce who held on to her tightly. Her mouth was against his and he was just as eager. Hungrily shoving his tongue into her mouth. He set her down on the table and began to remove his jacket and shirt never breaking the kiss. Selina knew how to get under his skin. She always did.
The front door was unlocked. Of course it was. Bruce lived on a big piece of land, why would he need his doors to be locked. Heading up the stairs Luna heard everything before she saw it. She needed to make sure what she was hearing. Bruce was with another woman in his room. Stepping through the threshold she saw Bruce with a woman pinned under him, her breast in his mouth. She tried to cover the gasp that left her mouth. They heard her. Bruce looked towards the door and his heart sank. Luna was frozen in place. A series of emotions flooding her. Anger being the main one.
Luna's feet left the ground and her hair turned white. Her eyes glowed green.
"Oh my God Bruce, what's happening?" Selina asked throwing on her shirt preparing herself for a fight. Bruce quickly backed away from Selina and rushed towards Luna. He didn't get far. She held up her hand freezing him in place. She raised her hand and Bruce lifted off the ground and threw him into the wall. When Selina charged her, Luna grabbed her by her neck and squeezed. Almost snapping her neck but she couldn't. She had some control. As soon as she had transformed Luna disappeared in a cloud of green smoke, leaving Selina gasping for air and Bruce rising to his feet realizing how bad he just fucked up.
Luna started to drive back to the hotel. She was fuming. She didn't drive recklessly. That would've drawn to much attention to her. She hadn't managed to return to normal but she was in complete control of herself and her abilities. Coming to a red light she dug through her jacket pocket to grab her cell phone. Only to discover the Jokers card. She had completely forgotten about it. Pulling her cell phone from the other pocket she dialed the number. He answered on the second ring.
"This better be good." Joker sounded pissed. Maybe she shouldn't have called.
"Looks like I caught you at a bad time."
Joker smiled to himself and flicked ash from the cigarette he was smoking.
"Almost every moment is a bad one. Perhaps you can make it all better." His tone was teasing.
"Flattery doesn't charge these batteries."
"Then what does?"
There was a long pause between the two of them. Joker wanting to know the answer to his question and Luna totally flustered at the fact he asked something so vulgar.
"I just need to get away for a few days. I don't want anyone to find me. I'm not trying to trade sex secrets with you. Can you help me or not?"
"Trouble in paradise?"
"I'm serious. I'll make it well worth your time...financially."
Joker gave his signature laugh and then cleared his throat.
"Keep your money doll. Just promise me we'll have fun."
"Sure Mister J. We'll have some fun."
"I take it you're in a car. Park down by the docks. Leave the keys in the ignition. Throw your cell phone in the water."
The line went dead and Luna set off in the direction of the docks.
Rick was was woken up by pounding on his hotel suite door. Throwing on some sweatpants he answered it with his gun in his hand.
"Bruce? What the fuck are doing banging on my door this late?" Rick looked over his shoulder. His eyes falling on nothing.
"Where's my sister?" He asked closing the door. Bruce rubbed the stubble on his face and placed on hand on his hip.
"She's not answering her phone. She didn't come back here?"
Rick set his gun down on the coffee table and went to grab a shirt and some shoes.
"Obviously if I'm asking where the fuck my sister is, I don't know where she is."
"She's upset. She turned and then slammed me up against a wall-"
Rick stopped tying his laces and looked over at Bruce. There was more to the story. He was leaving something out. Luna wasn't even supposed to go to his house but she did. Then she got angry. Rick wasn't a dummy. Bruce hadn't hit her up all day and didn't want her to come over. He was seeing someone else and Luna caught him.
"She saw you with another woman, didn't she?"
"It's complicated."
Rick gave a humorless laugh, grabbed his gun a holstered it. He dialed June's number and told her that he needed her help. She promised as soon as she was done at the office she would be there. Hanging up Rick turned to Bruce.
"What happened?"
"She threw me against the wall, then she disappeared. She must've teleported back to your car because I could see the lights driving away."
"Alright this is what's going to happen. Go home. If she comes back for any reason try to level with her. Get ahold of me. Try to keep her there. No police. I'm going to see if I can track her down. I'll let you know when she turns up."
Bruce nodded his head and walked towards the door. The guilt he felt consuming him.
"Oh and Bruce?"
"Yeah?" He replied turning around to look at Rick.
"Consider yourself done with my sister. I warned you. I vouched for you because I thought you were one of those guys like myself. That likes to have fun. That could commit when he wanted and didn't lie. My sister trusts me. I'm her big brother. Not only have you taken advantage of my kindness you hurt my sister who latched on to you. She doesn't do that with anyone. She's a loner."
"Rick I-"
"Save it. I take it Marley will be fine until Luna and I move into our town home?"
Bruce nodded his head and left. He was going home, but he wasn't going to stay there.
