Chapter five: Forming Bonds WithThe Enemy.
(ROBIN POV):
Dame that was a hard workout but at least they'll maybe start respecting me more and not underestimating me in next time. Every move I take I can feel all my muscles groan in protest, geez I've got to start stretching and working out more because my muscles are starting to sees up and my body's becoming less flexible than it normally is but hey being kidnapped by your arch enemy does that to you
I slowly make my way back to the room I was put into when I first arrived, and see a pile of clean clothes laying on the bed, at least Bane has the sense to get me more clothes. Making my way into the walk in bathroom I strip off and turn on the water. As the hot water runs down my body I can feel my aching muscles loosen and my whole body relax and all that can be heard is the soft drops of water hitting the shower floor.
When I exited the shower I quickly put the clean clothing on which consisted of a black long sleeve shirt and knee length sweat pants. Making my way back into the bedroom I flop myself onto the bed and slowly crawl up the bed until I'm near the headboard before then pulling back the covers and climbing under the sheets. Looking up at the ceiling I think about what Batman's doing now, is he worried or looking for me? Maybe he doesn't even notice I'm missing let. He's probably too busy with his business and saving the world to think about me.
Letting my mind drift away from those thoughts and relax, my eyes began to droop and before I knew it I had fallen into a deep and calming sleep.
(BANE POV):
Once again Robin has proven himself to be more of a challenge then he looks. After defeating my men the boy turned to leave but not before saying around "Maybe next time you shouldn't underestimate someone, no matter how small or tall they are" and with that he was gone. Maybe I should start treating him as a capable and strong individual instead of an innocent and fragile child.
I stop outside of the room Robins been kept in and open the door quietly. Peering around the room I see Robin sprawled on the bed while snoring softly, I couldn't help but chuckle at how cute and venerable he looked. Cute? Surely I didn't just refer to my arch enemy as cute but somehow having that boy near me has melted my once ice cold heart.
(ROBIN POV):
God my muscles still hurt from yesterday but hopefully from a nice stretching lesson will do the trick. I look at the bed side table clock and it reads 5:30 am, well there's no point going back to sleep because knowing me that's never going to happen. Walking over to the bathroom I strip out of my pyjamas and jump into the shower. As I exit from the shower I find a clean pair of knee length black pants and a simple grey short sleeved shirt.
Trying my luck with the door, I'm surprised that it's unlocked because Bane always locks the door before he retires for the night but maybe he's had a change of heart, but seriously this is Bane we're talking about not just some stranger. Peering out of the door, I look up and down the corridor, I let out a breath of relief, empty just m luck. As I walk down the corridor I can hear distant noises of heavy breathing and thumping, curiosity getting the better of me I quietly tip toe towards the noises that lie ahead.
The sight before me bewildered me, Bane was wearing nothing but baggy workout pants and red boxing gloves, I could see small sweat drops rolling down his muscular sun kissed back and his six pack abbs. I couldn't help but gasp at the way he beat into the boxing bag, such precision and determination and the emotion he showed on his face with every hit.
As I continued to watch him he started to speed up his rhythm, hit after hit until a ripping sound was heard and the boxing bag when flying into the furthest wall in the gym. Bane was taking deep uneven breathes due to the heavy workout he just had, he slowly made his way over to a bench which hanged a white towel. I saw he survey the room which caused me to panic and I quickly hid behind a nearest pole. He let out a sigh "I know you are there little Bird, there's no use in hiding", dame even when I tried to be invisible I was no match for him. I stepped out of my hiding place and moved towards him, "Don't worry child, I do not bite" he said while grinning.
I couldn't help but stare at his muscles as they flexed when he moved, I blushed as I looked up into his eyes and realised that I had been caught staring at his body and he chuckled "you should take a picture it lasts longer" I went even redder at that.
I hesitantly stepped out of my hiding place.
(BANE POV):
My minds been wondering everywhere but my work lately, I just can't seem to get that boy off my mind. If I can't even focus on my work what the point in even trying. Stepping out from behind my desk I look up at the clock which reads 5:30, might as well hit the gym while it's still early and quiet.
God it's been awhile since I've been in here but you can't really tell when looking at my muscled body. Observing the room I see the usual work out machines, treed mills and weights but the only thing I wanted to do now was exert some much needed emotion and rage into the only thing that could with stand my strength. Tightening the tape around my hands I slip on the boxing gloves and begin a slow punching rhythm which I intend to quicken momentarily.
As I quicken my pace unwanted thought started to cloud my mind, 'ever since Robin has been here I have noticed the atmosphere around here has changed maybe for good or for worse'. 'Robin has made memories from my past resurface from the deepest corners of my mind which I thought had been shut away forever'. Thump….thump…thump was all that could be heard in the gym, 'Robin is my foes son which makes him my enemy but then again not my enemy, I strike hard at the boxing bag making the chain connecting it to the ceiling beam shake with strain under my strength.
'Perhaps Robin being here could help my frozen heart of steel beat once more, Never the less Batman still had to pay the price for what he robbed me all those years ago on that fateful night'. Just thinking about that night makes my blood boil with rage. With rage fuelling my hits I gradually pick up speed thud…thud…thud until I push all my emotions and anger into the last hit ripping the boxing bag completely off its chain and spiralling into the furthest wall in the gym.
I breathe in and out deeply trying to regain my breath and the much needed oxygen back into my lungs, dame how I have missed being like this. Standing up straight I made my way towards the bench which hung my gym towel. So focused into my thoughts I had almost failed to notice someone spying on me from the entrance of the gym had it not been from the grasp of breathe intake.
Surveying the room I see a shadowed figure behind one of the poles, seems my mystery spy is my little Robin.
