Author's Note: Ok, short chapter again. Sorry, but I needed to get this out there first before I could do a huge Dana chapter. So, please enjoy and know that a bigger chapter is coming next time!
For a second, there was complete shock.
Seeing both Diana and Dana being taken by a madman was something that no one—no matter how experienced you were—could get used to. I felt pain in my usually calm heart and looking at Terry, I could tell I wasn't the only one. Bruce Wayne was screaming for revenge and to rescue Diana, but Batman took control. The pain subsided and I turned to Terry.
"We've got to go to the cave," I ordered, pulling him up. "Get up!" He stood, but his eyes were still filled with the shock over losing her—his beloved. Alfred always encouraged me to connect to people and especially with Diana, but look where connecting got them. Terry was experiencing something he could've avoided if he had simply become the Batman. Now, look at him. He was nothing but a weak—
Bruce Wayne cut off the Batman.
He was weak because he had lost the one person he cared for so deeply? That made him human!
"We've got to save them," Terry muttered, stopping the argument. "We have to."
His desperate voice pulled the two parts of me back together.
"We will," I promised because I realized that my life depended on this. If we didn't succeed, Bruce Wayne would die and all that would remain would be the cold Batman. "Let's go to the cave."
He nodded but his eyes had lost the life that they used to hold. I realized then and there that it wasn't just my life on the line; it was Terry's as well.
And I swore that everything would work out.
