Terry furiously typed on the computer and it was the only thing that seemed to be holding me to this world. My mind was so scattered and I felt so lost—so helpless. Batman was never helpless. I wasn't supposed to be helpless.
"Anything?" My voice was calm and collected. To Terry, I must've appeared indifferent—I wished that I really was. Diana . . . she had changed me. I had let her change me into something that I wasn't sure I wanted to be. Caring for her would be a sign of weakness. She would be a target that my enemies would try to destroy and I wouldn't be able to live myself if she paid the price for being with me. I had lost people before and I wasn't going to do it again.
"Not yet," Terry replied angrily. "I'm not even sure what to look for!" He pounded the keys and I knew that we were both at a dead end and if we didn't get our acts together, both Diana and Dana would pay the price.
"You know, Master Wayne," Alfred's voice echoed off the walls of the cave. "I've been thinking."
"Uh-oh," I chuckled, typing some things into the very same computer that Terry was using now. "What is it that you've been thinking about?"
"Well, to keep up your appearances," Alfred had smiled deviously. "Perhaps you should get a girlfriend. That would show the world that Bruce Wayne is much too busy to go and play vigilante in the middle of the night."
"That would be imp—"
"Impossible, sir," Alfred had replied accordingly. "But Master Wayne, I've seen how much you've taken an interest in her highness."
"Diana and I are not—"
"Just give it some thought, would you Master Wayne?" Alfred had said as he began to exit the cave. "After all, the heart wants what the heart wants whether Batman likes it or not."
"I found something!" Terry snapped and I cast out of my memories. Alfred . . . I hadn't realized how right he might've been. But, it didn't matter now. I needed to save Diana.
I had to save Diana!
