Hello again! I have had a lot of questions in regards to my new character Aurelia. To put your minds at ease she's just a character I created a while ago before I started writing stories to the public. Not to worry she's a gentle, loving and caring women, but will easily challenge Banes Authority when she seems fit and you will love her as I have grown to. Also another question that needs to be answered YES! She and Bane will be like parents to Robin and love him like a son they never had.

~ DICLAIMER I will never to this day own Batman or anything revolved around Batman, even if I really want too but I will however, write beautiful stories about Batman

Recapping last chapter:

But then over time things started to change Bruce became more focused in his Business at Wayne's whatever it's called and would always be in a meeting or coming home late. The only person that I could really talk to was Alfred and it was nice and all but… I guess I always wanted a father figure and maybe I thought Bruce could fill in the shoes again.

Chapter Five: Barriers are meant to be broken

(POV ROBIN):

I was now soaked to the bone and no thanks to the puddles, that now scattered across the streets my clothes were now also glued to my body, like an extra layer of skin on an animals fur coat protecting it during the harshest of weathers during hibernation. Brushing away those thoughts I quickened my pace as I tried to search for the only thing that determined my survival at the moment shelter. My eyes finally rest upon an old run down abandoned building with broke windows and graffiti littering the walls, great I thought to myself, just what I needed a place that screamed that someone has died in there or worse. But one in my situation shouldn't be picky.

After what seemed like forever I finally found an entrance into the building. Creaking open the door to my temporally housing quarters I gazed into the building. The sight before me didn't surprise me in the lease bit that's why they call it an abandoned. The buildings surroundings were your typical, old pieces of newspaper and clothes scattered everywhere, shattered glass fragments from windows, and worn down furniture. I gaged at the smell accumulating in the air, which can only be described as an animal's carcase being left to rot for months, and trust be me it is one of the most horrifying smells I have ever come across in all my life. Well to look on the brighter side of things of my situation at least I had packed extra clothing to change into. With a struggle I began Stripping down to my boxers, I throw away my sobbing wet clothing and slip on my black skinny jeans, a plain black shirt, a thick woolly jumper and my red pair of sneakers. Hey l like the colour black so what.

Finding an old lounge chair I snuggle up to one of the cushions and rested my tense and exhausted body after the ordeal I had to face today. To say I didn't miss my old home was an understatement, I missed my lovely soft feathered bed, my soft pillow that felt like I had a cloud for a pillow, the silky smooth sheets and my heated quit, oh how I wished I was snuggling into it right now. As I began to wonder into the depths of my mind I started thinking about Alfred's worried face and how much me running away has broken his heart and then there was Bruce…..tears started to blur my vision, I bet he's probably worried sick about me as well but he was the main cause of this whole ordeal. I wiped away the tears from my eyes and breathed in deep breathes to try and settle myself down. Slowly closing my eyes I coached my mind into thinking about happy thoughts, once I had calmed down and my mind had begun to rest I welcomed the depths of dream land into my mind.

(POV BRUCE)

Slamming down the phone for what seemed the thousand time today, I breathed a deep sigh of exhaustion. I called the police department and numerous missing people's agencies and still no sign of Dick anywhere. I rubbed the tension around my temples to try and relieve the building stress on my mind. I was taken out of my thoughts by a soft knock from my studies door, I already knew the person behind the door, so I called out for them to enter. After my permission to enter the room Alfred walked into the room carrying a tray with two mugs of coffee and judging from the smell radiating from them they were fresh made. The man before me wasn't the same man he normally was, there were dark circles under he's eyes due to the lack of sleep and his clothing was all wrinkled and out of place, but who could blame him dick was like a grandson and to have them disappear from the place of the earth without a trace of course he was worried sick about him.

"Any luck in locating the young master sir" he said while passing me one of the mugs of coffee, which I gladly took and nodded my head in thanks. "There has been no sightings of Dicks description anywhere and the Police said they can't put out a searching party until the weather clears up", I breathe in deeply to calm down my nerves from their already pressure stated fit. "Do not worry Sir they will find him and Master Dick is a very clever boy and he knows the basics of survival from what he has learnt as Robin from you" he said as he also grabbed the other mug of coffee. I look up to the man I have grown to love and care about like my own father "How can I not be worried about him Alfred, yes I have taught him how to survive but that's nothing compared to what he has to face out there, it's Gotham for Gods stake Alfred for all I know he's shivering in the cold hungry and scared". Rethinking what I had just said made me wonder just how helpless I thought Dick was.

I saw the way Alfred just tensed up to what I just said, I could already tell I was in for one hell of an argument or a lecture.

(POV ALFRED)

I realised the moment I walked into Master Bruce's study that he would be stressed and worried sick for the safety and wellbeing of Master Dick and that no one could be more stressed than himself but that doesn't mean I will stand for such language that was being uttered by his tongue. I stood up straight and faced him with determinacy to snap him out of this unforgivable and sinful behaviour.

"Master Bruce to this day I will, will not tolerate this unspeakable behaviour coming from you, your parents would be disappointed in the man you have grown to become. I realise that the disappearance of Master Dick has hurt you dearly but that doesn't mean you have to degrade the boy at thinking he can't look after himself. You know as well as anyone how I treat the young Master as if he was my own grandchild and that it makes my already withering heart shatter at the thought of never seeing him again". I dared not hold back the emotions or brush aside the tears that began to leek from my eyes, "I will do whatever it takes to have him safely back from harm's way, even if it means drawing my last breath to insure the young Master is out of dangers grasp".

I look upon Master Bruce's face and I can see the emotions twisted on his face. I kneel down in front of him and gentle lift his chin with my hand. "I know how much you love Master Richard sir and will do everything in your power to make him happy, but by pushing him away and not opening up your heart to him it will destroy what bond you have left with him". Seeing tears fall from the Sir's face broke my heart but these things needed to be said. "You are a kind, lovely, clever and special person Master Bruce, and it has been an honour and my pleasure to service you and your parents before you. All that I ask sir for my services is that you put aside your busy lifestyle and relax once in a while and to open your heart to the people around you and be the person that you once were and the person that made your parents swell with pride and love".

As the last sentence was uttered the Master's barriers came falling down and all the pent up emotions and sadness locked away from all those years of pain and misery came flooding out in what can only be described as pure pain and loss, as the Master wept against my shoulder. I hope that with this resolution and removal of barriers put up over the years, bonds can be mended and restored to what they used to be, and we can only hope we're not too late.

(NORMAL)

In the darkness two mysterious figures journey to the gates of Gotham where bloodshed and pain were once born.

(POV AURELIA)

Gazing upon the place my beloved has lived once before I shiver at the memories

Of my darling how I have loved you with all of my heart. You are my moon as I am your sun, you are my sky as I lay as your star, you are my waves as you sway and keep me company on the cold nights at sea and you are my yang twisting and turning with me in the circle of life. To others you are a monster, a killer, a plague that only wants to hurt the innocent, but to me you're a gentle giant, a loving caring man, who will die to protect the one's he loves.

I know that the world can be cruel and fate unkind and that many death defining challenges will be thrown in our direction as long as I'm with you I will gladly walk to the depths of hell for all eternity then face this world without you. Through many lifetimes I have wondered many lands to find you and no matter where life takes us or where our destiny leads us, as long as I'm in you embrace me i will never let you go.

I may say all these lovey dovey things but the love I feel towards Bane can't be described. I have seen the love in his hazel brown eyes and the way he holds me when we embrace, I am not treated as a possession or trophy to him I am treated as his lover, his equal and lifelong partner.

I know that the history between Bane and the City of Gotham is grave and filled with memories of bloodshed and misery but now they are all a distant memory, a fragment of nothing. Once we step into the gates of Gotham our life's start anew chapter.

Hope you all enjoyed the update and I also hope you had an awesome Christmas and a Happy New Year! I start work and my studies on the 7th of January 2016 but I hope to get in a few more chapters into my stories and maybe a new story before than! Next chapter is called 'Hope can come in all Shapes and Form'!

Love from me Cleanna xx
