I don't own any of the characters in this story other than my own. I'm doing this just for fun! :)

Authors Note:

Ok after reading a ton of Batman Fiction I have finally been motivated to start my own. Now grant it this is my very first fan fiction so I hope you all will enjoy it. Now I'm just doing this for fun and trying to make this story a little plausible. This story is going to be in the present and in the past. The main character of this story will be the woman who has to go through this complete scenario of chaos. She's going to be retelling the whole story of when she was in high school with Bruce and Rachel and how she had came to befriend Jack Napier. Once that's all said and done it will start going more into the Dark Knight and how her life is going to be turned upside down. I really hope you all enjoy this story, Reviews are greatly appreciated and I do not mind constructive criticisms but just plain rudeness is not tolerated. Now with that said let's get on with the story! :)

Chapter 6:

"So Bruce isn't it great that our little Ally finally has a boyfriend?"

Rachel asked in a pleased tone, while she was lounging on his couch as he was sitting on the floor channel surfing. "No." he replied so simply, Rachel arched her brow at him and started to edge her body upwards. "Why do you say that? I think it's about time that Alessandra goes out and meets someone; she can't always hang around you forever. I mean it was getting to be rather much after awhile." Bruce then turned the TV off and turned giving her a hard stare.

"What do you have against her? She has been nothing but nice to you and all you ever do is just knock her down at every chance! Why? I'm getting sick of you constantly bad mouthing my best friend Rach. I really am."

Rachel scoffed, now sitting fully up.

"Because! She's like this little Miss Perfect and she doesn't even have to try! And the fact is that you're so madly in love with her that no one has a chance to truly get to know you like she does! Face it Bruce I can't compete with your precious doll and I never will but the fact that Ally is interested in some other guy gives me that chance! I'm sick of becoming second while she is always your first. If you want me Bruce then want me! Don't treat me like I'm seconds just because the girl you really want is not interested in being with you! I want you! I really do but this love you have for Alessandra is way too big and way too strong for me to fight. And honestly Bruce I don't have that much fight in me anymore! Jack is cute he'll be good for her because he's strong. Will it last? I don't know but let them decide if they want to be together. And decide if you want to be with me because honestly Bruce I pretty much had about as much as I can take."

Bruce sighed, he knew that there was going to be a point where Rachel will confront him on this situation but he just couldn't decide. He was so torn between his feelings for Rachel and Ally that he knew it only created an intense friction between the two of them. But he just couldn't let go… He couldn't let go of the fact that Ally, his Ally was now starting to grow interest in another guy.

Since he could remember he was her guy, her superhero, her knight… And now some other man is trying to take his Ally away and Bruce wasn't sure if he liked this or not. He then slowly looked over at Rachel who was awaiting his answer. Damn why did this have to be so hard? Why did he have to choose? It was something he really didn't want to do.

"Rachel… I care about you. I really do but Ally is my friend, my best friend and I'm willing to change if you're willing to start being more friendly with my friends. And when I mean friends I mean Ally because I will not tolerate you being nasty to her anymore."

Rachel sighed, and softly nodded. "Fine… but you need to let Ally do her own things and cannot keep bossing her around and telling her what she should and shouldn't do. If she wants your advice that's fine but don't boss her in to deciding what is right or wrong for her." Bruce frowned, he really didn't like hearing her tell him this but he knew that Ally was growing up and that she needed to make her own decisions… It's just the decisions that she was making were ones that he really didn't agree with.

"Fine. But if this guy does one thing to her one damn thing I'm getting involved alright?"

Rachel sighed knowing that he wasn't going to budge any further on this topic and slowly nodded.

"Alright, but that doesn't mean that you go and look for something on him. I know you Bruce, if Jack does one small thing you're going to fly off the handle."

Bruce sighed and begrudgingly nodded as he turned back around and turned the TV back on.

It was finally Friday, as Alessandra came rushing down the stairs hearing the doorbell rang. Her mind has been racing since Jack had kissed her. Sure, it was just a small kiss but it held so much impact within her. He has had a huge impact on her and with the way things have been going lately between the two of them she was starting to grow more and more feelings for him as the time came. Ally quickly rushed towards the door wearing a black off the shoulder sweater that rested down to her hips, she had also had on a pair of skinny jeans with black pumps. Her dark hair was completely straightened with some small curls and her makeup was soft.

As soon as she opened the door she saw Jack standing there on the other side with a warm grin on his lips. He was wearing a white short sleeved button down shirt with a dark green khaki jacket. The first couple of buttons were unbuttoned and his dirty blond hair was wavy and wild but in all honesty she loved that look on him.

"Hey Jack! Why don't you come on in?"

She smiled as she walked back into the living room; Jack slowly walked in looking around her place and noticed that she was now putting on her earrings. "You look nice." He examined as she turned around and smiled at him. "Well thank you! You look really nice yourself." Jack smiled at her as he watched her come and walk up to him.

Throughout the entire day of school he couldn't help but keep his eyes off her as if she was his special prize that he wouldn't dare allow anyone to steal. That small kiss he had shared with her last night was really a test of his own. He wanted to see her reaction to see if she'd fight him or would she willingly give in but all that he received was surprise and complete confusion. It was something he figured he will have to try again to make sure which one it really was. "So how is this going to work? We're gonna meet Wayne and his squeeze at the theatre or what?" Alessandra shook her head, as she went to fix his collar on his shirt to fit over his jacket collar.

"They are going to come pick us up."

Jack nodded, allowing out a long sigh. "Great." Ally smiled, she knew he wasn't looking to forward to this and was really only doing this for her which she was very appreciative for. "Look Jack I really appreciate you coming with me tonight… I hate being the third wheel and Bruce always cons me to go because he thinks I don't get out enough." Jack scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Think he can honestly not tell you want to do for once? He oughta know it makes you uncomfortable to be with them."

Alessandra shrugged, giving him a closed mouth smile as she fixed a wild strand of his hair. "It's because he worries about me Jack… other than Marley he's my only close friend and now I have you." She smiled, while Jack rolled his eyes, causing her to laugh.

"Please be nice."

She said softly resting her hands on his shoulders. Jack arched his brow at her. "Can't make any guarantees doll." Ally chuckled and gently traced the cut on his lip with her thumb. "How's your lip feeling today?" She asked softly, Jack slowly smirked at her and shrugged his shoulders. "A little numb so maybe I should…" Jack then crashed his lips against hers, catching Alessandra off guard. Jack lingered for a few moments and was instantly surprised when she decided to respond to his kiss. She hesitantly wrapped her arms around his neck as he pulled her closer to him. Jack smirked against Ally's lips and began to deepen the kiss. After a few moments of Ally becoming completely entranced by their embrace she did not realize that the door bell had been ringing.

"Jack…"

She whispered as he continued to peck her lips as she talked. "I think I should get that." She said as he kissed her once again. Jack slowly smiled a devious smile and pulled her closer to him as he rested his forehead against hers.

"Or we can pretend we're not here and let them leave for themselves and we can stay here and practice. My lip is still feeling kinda numb."

Alessandra laughed and slowly shook her head. "As nice as that sounds and I probably would really need the practice considering that this is my first real kiss. However Bruce would never let me hear the end of it if I just ignored him." Jack's eyes widened in surprise once he heard this.

"That was your first kiss?"

Ally blushed and slowly nodded. "Yeah… I didn't have a lot of boyfriends and most of the ones I did have only lasted a couple of days because Bruce would scare them away or my dad would." Jack secretly smiled to himself, thrilled that he was her first kiss and who knows maybe he could be her first everything if she'd let him.

"Well then… that's good to know."

The door was now being pounded at and the doorbell was ringing incessantly, Ally sighed while Jack looked over at the door agitatedly. "Well we better get going…" Jack sighed as he helped Ally put on her leather jacket. "Yeah I guess." Alessandra giggled and grabbed her purse as she opened the door. Bruce was standing on the other side glaring at her.

"Damn Ally I thought I was gonna have to break the door down, didn't you hear me?"

Alessandra looked at Bruce apologetically. "Bruce I'm sorry I was upstairs, I must've not heard you." Bruce sighed in relief that nothing happened to her. Just then Jack showed up behind her with a devious grin on his lips. "Yeah sorry about that Wayne while Ally was upstairs I was kinda helping her look for something so I didn't hear it either. Should've called before you got here so ya know? So we would have an idea of when you were coming." Bruce continued to glare at Jack while Ally walked out of the door.

"Alright guys come on you both promised that you would be nice."

She said, pulling on Bruce's arm to get him to stop doing a staring contest with Jack. Bruce broke his glare from him and immediately looked down at Ally and started to smile. "You look very beautiful tonight Ally." Alessandra smiled at Bruce and shrugged her shoulders.

"Ah this? I just found it in my closet."

Bruce chuckled and wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her temple. "Well you look really good." Jack was the one glaring now; he knew what Bruce was doing. He was pretty much flat out telling him to stay away from her and that she's his with his arm wrapped around her and the way he kissed her head.

It was more than just a friendly kiss from an old friend, Bruce's kiss had affection with it and Jack didn't like that very much, not when Ally was supposed to be his. Alessandra on the other hand allowed out a soft laugh and pulled away from him. "Well thank you Bruce." She smiled and looked back over at Jack to see the frightening glare he was giving Bruce. Ally frowned once she saw this and gently walked up towards Jack giving him a warm smile. "You ready?" Jack tore his eyes away from Bruce and slowly looked down at her with a mischievous large smile.

"Yeah…"

He said, wrapping his arm around her waist and led her out of the house. Bruce glared at Jack as he followed them out of the house. Ally quickly locked up the front door and quickly rushed over towards Bruce's car while Jack hastily opened the door for her. Alessandra allowed out a soft laugh as she quickly jumped in. "Thank you Jack!" Jack grinned as she moved over for him to get in and hopped in the car and closed the door shut.

"No problem."

He smiled, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. Rachel smiled at the both of them while Bruce got into the driver's seat, glowering completely. "Hey you two how's it going?" Ally smiled at Rachel while Jack kept his eyes on her. "Hey Rachel we're fine, how are you?" Rachel shrugged happy to see that Alessandra had someone new in her life that was interested in her; it was completely obvious to her considering the way Jack was acting around her. "I'm well; I heard this movie is supposed to be really good!" Ally looked over at her innocently.

"What kind of movie are we seeing?"

Bruce then quickly answered. "One of those scary movies that you just love so much Ally." Ally scoffed glaring at the rearview mirror while Bruce chuckled as he pulled out of her drive way. "Bruce you know I hate scary movies! Why do you guys insist on making me go to them!" Bruce mischievously smiled as he started to drive to the theatre. "Because I love seeing you jump at every scary part." It was Rachel's turn to now glare at Bruce while Jack smirked and looked over at Ally and whispered in her ear loud enough for Bruce and Rachel to hear him.

"Don't worry Ally I'll protect you from the scary monsters."

He said snickering, while she playfully shoved him. Bruce clenched his steering wheel with complete anger, almost not noticing the red light suddenly flickering on and instantaneously Bruce slammed on the breaks causing everyone to move forward due to the inertia and slammed right back into their seats. Rachel glared over at Bruce and shoved his shoulder.

"Bruce will you pay attention please! I do not feel like getting in a car accident tonight!"

Bruce sighed and looked up in the rearview mirror, seeing Jack's arm wrapped tightly around Ally, pulling her closer to him so she doesn't get hurt. Bruce now was severely pissed; he hated seeing Jack give her that kind of affection. If anything Bruce wanted to be the one who was in the backseat with her, consoling her that she was going to be alright but seeing Jack do this only enraged him more and more.

"Sorry…"

He muttered, allowing out a long sigh. Rachel rolled her eyes at him and looked back over at Alessandra and Jack. "So Jack where did you move from?" Jack glared up at her, not liking the fact that she was probing him for information.

"Chicago."

Rachel gasped in excitement. "Chicago! I love Chicago! It's an amazing city! Why did you and your family move?" Jack shrugged, subconsciously playing with a loose strand of Alessandra's hair. "Pop's gotta a better job so we moved." Rachel nodded giving him a warm smile. "I see, so how do you like Gotham High so far?" Jack shrugged, smirking at the rearview mirror, knowing Bruce was keeping an eye on him and Ally. "Alright I guess, as long as the company is good." He then squeezed Alessandra into him as he looked over at her and then looked back at Rachel who was beaming at them. "I guess I'll have no problem." Bruce scoffed once he heard this and pulled into a parking spot.

He then turned off the car, while Rachel got out along with Jack who quickly rushed out of the car to run over to the other side. Ally could see Bruce still sitting in the passenger seat and became concerned. "Are you ok Bruce?" Bruce frowned and slowly nodded. "Yeah Al I'm fine. Don't worry about me ok?" He said giving her a tight smile, Alessandra frowned knowing he was lying to her but wasn't able to probe more into it because Jack then opened her door to help escort her out. Ally smiled up at Jack as he dramatically bowed.

"My Lady."

He said in a mocking British tone. Alessandra laughed as she took his hand and got out of the vehicle, she shivered from the cool breeze and Jack immediately caught notice of this and wrapped his arm around her waist. "You should've worn a warmer jacket doll." He whispered into her ear. Bruce then finally got out of the car and pulled off his wool coat and wrapped it around her shoulders. "Here, you always have a habit of not dressing appropriately for the season." Alessandra smiled over at Bruce and shook her head.

"Thank you Bruce but you don't have to really."

Bruce quickly shook his head smiling down at her. "Don't worry about it Al, plus if I bring you back home sick your dad will kill me!" Alessandra laughed and shook her head. "No he'll scold me and thank you for looking after me." Bruce grinned and started to laugh. "Yeah but you know I'll try to convince him it's my fault." Rachel was now getting ticked off because Bruce was once again looking out for Ally and not her and made sure to get his attention.

"Bruce I'm a little cold."

Jack then quickly took the coat off of Ally's shoulders and handed it to Bruce. "Think your Girlfriend needs this more." He said smugly as he pulled off his coat and wrapped it around Alessandra's shoulders. "Here doll you can have mine, I never get cold." Bruce sneered at Jack while he handed Rachel his coat and took her hand and yanked her along with him.

As Bruce and Rachel were a couple of feet ahead of them, Jack then leaned over to Ally as he wrapped his arm around her and said in a low tone.

"I don't think your bestie bestest doesn't like me very much."

Alessandra sighed and quickly shook her head. "It's not that Jack, he's just very protective is all." Jack shrugged, smirking over at her. "Highly doubt that's all it is but if that's what you think doll I'll run with it." Ally playfully shoved him as they walked towards the movie theatre. Bruce glared at the couple as they were now walking hand in hand laughing and playfully teasing one another as they walked further ahead of them. Rachel glared over at Bruce as he held her hand and led her towards the theatre.

"What is your problem!"

Rachel growled, as Alessandra and Jack were now far out of hearing distance. Bruce seething looked back over at her and scowled. "Nothing!" He said gritting his teeth; Rachel on the other hand was not convinced. "Bruce you have been nothing but short and rude since we had picked up Alessandra and Jack now tell me what's the deal!" Bruce sighed as Jack slipped his arm around Ally's waist and started to speak into her ear as he pulled her closer.

"I don't trust him."

Rachel frowned as they walked further towards the theatre. "It really bothers you to see her with someone else doesn't it?" Bruce then glared over at her, he was not about to deal with that tonight. "Don't start Rachel! All I said was I don't trust this guy! I have a feeling he's using her." Rachel rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Bruce you're going to think that about ever guy Alessandra is with! You need to let her make her own mistakes she needs to learn from them and grow."

Bruce then scoffed. "Yeah just let her give her innocence to some guy who claims he loves her but will forget he even said it in the morning and breaks up with her, shattering her heart into pieces! Yeah Rach that's a great idea!" He said sarcastically as they finally made it up to the ticket booth. Ally was about to pull out the cash from her purse while Jack stopped her. "Nah put that away it's my treat tonight." He grinned; Alessandra looked at him completely surprised, while Bruce rolled his eyes behind them, earning a nudge in the stomach by Rachel.

"Jack you really don't have to."

Jack shook his head and smiled. "Consider this as my thank you for all that you have done." Ally slowly smiled at him as he walked up to the booth and requested 2 tickets for the movie. Once he had bought the tickets he then walked back over to her and smiled. "Here you go my lady." He grinned as he handed Ally her ticket. Bruce rolled his eyes while Rachel was grinning from ear to ear. "They are so cute!" Bruce scoffed as they were walking up towards the ticket booth.

"Yeah just adorable."

He said sarcastically as he bought their tickets. Once they all made it into the theatre, Bruce told Alessandra and Rachel to go grab seats while he and Jack got the snacks. Alessandra was a little hesitant on leaving Jack with Bruce but Jack reassuringly smiled at her and basically told her that he would be fine.

So Alessandra nodded and went with Rachel to go grab seats while Bruce and Jack were now standing in the concession line. Jack sighed as he placed his hands in his pockets while Bruce smirked at him. "So Jack… you and Ally are getting kinda tight huh?" Jack raised his eyebrow at him and shrugged. "Yeah I guess." He said looking away from him. Bruce snickered as he looked over at him.

"You guess? Well by the looks of it, it would seem to me that you are more interested in being more than just friends with Al."

Jack shrugged once again and smirked at him. "What's the matter Wayne? Threatened that I'm gonna take your best friend away? She won't look at you as her super hero anymore?" Bruce glared at him for a moment then snickered. "Really? That's all you got? Do you honestly think you can shake me up with that?" It was now Jack's turn to snicker.

"Not at all… Look I'll be honest I like Ally she's my girl as far as I am concerned but I know you're going to throw the whole spiel about if I ever hurt her or break her heart or whatever crap you're going to throw at me that you're going to kick my ass. So let's just save that load of bull and get past it. You don't like me because I'm taking the girl you're in love with and I'm not so fond of you because you have this insane hold on my girl and I don't like that very much… Not. One. Bit."

Bruce glared at him, but then slowly smirked. "If you touch her I'll fucking kill you." He said laughingly, as he placed his hands in his pockets and looked around. Jack then chuckled and slapped his hand on Bruce's shoulder. "Too late we already kissed." He smugly grinned, while Bruce whirled around and glared at him.

"That better be all, because I know what you're doing Napier you are going to try and get Ally in your corner so you can sleep with her and throw her off to the side. But just so you know I'll be there… if it does ever happen I'll be the one picking up the pieces and she will never forgive you for it that is if you even care to get to that point. I know what kind of low life you are and what your intentions are and trust me I will not allow you to get to that point with Ally."

Jack smirked over at Bruce as they moved closer to the concession stand. "One. It's really none of your business how Ally and I spend our time and if she wants me she wants me get over it. Two. You have a girlfriend, why don't you concentrate more on her and the fact that she's cheating on you instead of my little ole Ally!" Bruce's eyebrows rose in complete interest. "What makes you think that Rachel is cheating on me?" Jack smirked, getting him right where he wanted him.

"Come on! It's obvious, she acts all aggravated that you constantly want to spend time with Ally but in reality she's thrilled because you're distracted and she can go be with anyone she wants! The only reason why she's even remotely pissed at Ally is because all this time that she did try to be faithful to you she never had a chance because you always wanted Ally and admit it, if Ally ever gave you one inkling of a chance you'd be all over it in an instant."

Bruce gritted his teeth, even more pissed off as ever. "You're lucky we're in public Napier." Jack started to laugh. "Trust me Wayne you wouldn't even be able to touch me." Bruce sighed and slowly shook his head as they finally made it up to the counter; they ordered their snacks and started to head towards their theatre. "Look I'm willing to put on a good face if you are. No sense in getting the girls upset." Jack shrugged, finally agreeing with Bruce. "I'm fine with that. I promised Ally that I would try and be friends with you." Bruce scoffed. "Yeah good job on that." Jack chuckled and slowly shook his head.

"Look, I'm just gonna say this once. Ally is a really good friend to me and I don't want to hurt her and I know it will hurt her if we don't get along so let's just try on that ok?"

Bruce sighed and slowly nodded. "Yeah… yeah I guess we could." Jack then beamed at him and slapped his hand on the shoulder. "Great! Now this doesn't mean we have to be best friends it just means we need to be mutual with one another and whoever gets Ally in the end well the other will need to back off of course." Bruce clenched his jaw, starting to get irritated again. "Fine." Jack nodded and smiled.

"Good now let's go see our ladies shall we?"

Bruce rationally nodded his head and began to follow Jack into the theatre.

XXXX

"Thank you for coming with tonight Jack, I know it was really not your thing."

Jack chuckled as they walked towards her house after Bruce had begrudgingly dropped them off. "Its fine… me and your bestie bestest I guess came to terms and all is good." Alessandra laughed and gave him a warm smile. "Thank you for that too… I know Bruce can be kinda rough around the edges and intimidating and I really appreciate you trying." Jack shrugged as they walked closer to her door.

"I can't guarantee that we'll be friends but we have a mutual agreement."

As they made it towards the door Alessandra turned around to look back at Jack and smirked. "I can only imagine how that went." She said laughingly, Jack smirked at her and took her hand into his. "Interesting to say the least. But look enough with talking about Brucey alright? How about I take you on a real date tomorrow huh?" Ally's grin turned into a slight frown and she gently looked away from him.

"I would love that Jack but I'm supposed to be working on my project with Bruce tomorrow."

Jack frowned at her and slowly nodded. "Ah I gotcha well um hope you have fun." Ally sadly smiled and cupped his cheek with her hand. "How about Sunday? I'm not doing anything Sunday." Jack slowly smiled and nodded. "Yeah um we'll see I guess." Alessandra gave him a sweet smile as she kissed him on the cheek. "I had a wonderful time with you Jack…" Jack smiled and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "Me too." He whispered and softly pecked her on the lips again.

"I really did have a good time with you Ally."

Alessandra smiled and kissed the corner of his mouth. "I'm glad that you did." Jack chuckled as he rested his forehead against hers and allow out a long and heavy sigh. "I better get back before my father freaks." Alessandra's face suddenly morphed into fear and Jack caught this and smiled.

"Don't worry about me doll I'll be ok. You get some sleep and we'll do that date on Sunday ok?"

Alessandra nodded, giving him an unsure smile. Jack chuckled at this and pecked her on the lips. "Night, night my little sapphire." Alessandra giggled against his lips. "Sapphire?" Jack then nodded.

"It's the color of your eyes."

Alessandra smiled, biting her bottom lip and bowed her head. "Oh." Jack laughed and kissed her forehead. "Night Ally." Alessandra looked up at him and gave him a closed mouth smile.

"Good night Jack."

And with that Jack moved away from her and started to head back to his home, while Alessandra went into hers.
