In a different universe…

Chapter 4

Weeks had gone by and all Bruce could think of was how Diana got shot for him. Yes that was her job, but was there more? When he held her hand at the hospital he felt a warmness come over his heart that he never had before. He never felt it when he dated selina, or even talia. He wanted to explore that feeling more deeply but how could he when she was no longer there.

He finally got enough courage to look at the note she had left him.

Bruce, wanted to

Say Thank you for everything.

I got a new assignment once

I'm better here. Please take care

of yourself. I couldn't stand it

if something happened to you.

Love Diana.

Why was she thanking him? He didn't understand that at all. He sat at his computer going through all his files trying to take his mind off of her but he couldn't. He pulled p the newspaper article that told the story of her bravery. He was so into it that he didn't hear Alfred come up to him.

"Master Bruce, if you ever listen to any of my advice, let this be the one you follow, go follow your heart."

"Alfred, I cant, I don't know where she is. Besides don't you think I will jut push her away too?"

"Master Bruce since when has Batman ever said I cant? When you listen to your heart, your courage to pursue this will be there and you might try to push her away but Master Bruce I think she is one to hold on tight."

Bruce smiled at his adopted Father and thanked him. He made some calls and found out where her new assignment was. He put on his Bat suit and headed that way.

"So what brings you to Bludhaven Bruce?"

Batman just touched down quietly. He smiled at his son. "You're the only one who would know it was me, without me making any noise."

Dick grinned "I learned from the best. Barbara and I would love to have you over for Dinner since you are here."

"I would like that Dick. I miss seeing you and Babs."

"Ok, what is up, you usually aren't this soft hearted. Why are you truly here?"

"I have to meet someone, I was wondering if you heard of her? Her name is Diana Trevor she is an officer that was assigned here."

"No I haven't but I would sure like to meet her, if she can bring a grumpy man to smiles like she has you."

Bruce nodded his head and decided to go to the Police station to see if he could over hear where she would be.

His plan worked. She was having a day off and was spending the day in the park. He found that park, changed out of his bat suit and walked till he found her. He looked down and saw some of the most beautiful flowers. So he picked a few to give to her.

He found her sitting on a bench.

"Excuse Me but is this seat taken?"

"No, not at all" she looked up, "BRUCEEE"

She jumped up and hugged his neck tight. He wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her tightly.

"Diana, its so wonderful to see you. I picked these for you." He handed her the flowers, and they sat down on the bench. He put his arm around her.

"What are you doing here? Are you doing ok?"

He pulled her to him and held her tightly." "I wanted to find you. I need to ask you a question."
