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 7:
It was late afternoon when Alessandra made it over to Wayne Manor. She parked her car in the driveway, then grabbed her backpack and climbed up the steps of the large mansion. As soon as Alessandra made it up to the front door, Alfred immediately opened the door before she even had a chance to knock. Alfred smiled down at Alessandra while she completely beamed at him.
"Hello Alfred! How have you been?"
She asked laughingly as she gave him a warm hug. Alfred hugged her back and slowly released her. "I am doing well Miss. Alessandra and yourself?" Ally sighed, still beaming. "I'm good just stressed with all this homework and trying to get into John Hopkins and all." Alfred chuckled as he escort Ally inside the manor and took her coat. "Well I have no worries for you Miss. Alessandra you will be just fine." Alessandra allowed out a soft laugh as she looked back over at the older butler who was like a second father to her.
"Thank you Alfred. You always know what to say to make me feel better."
Alfred gave her a closed mouth smile as he escorted her towards the living area. "I only say the utter truth my dear. I believe that you are going to make an excellent surgeon when you get the proper training to do so." Alessandra grinned over at Alfred and was about to say something until Bruce came walking into the room.
"She's going to be a damn good surgeon I already know that."
Alessandra chuckled as she turned to look over at him. "And you will be an excellent CEO and President of Wayne Enterprises." Alfred smiled at the both of them. For the longest time Alfred had thought that these two would be a perfect couple however they had constantly fought with their emotions for one another. It was obvious to Alfred how much Bruce cared for Alessandra and it was obvious as well how much she cared for Bruce. He only wished that they were mature enough to understand what those feelings really meant to them.
Bruce grinned down at her and pulled her backpack off of her shoulder and placed it on his. "Well in order for any of that to happen we should start working on that project so we both can graduate." Alessandra laughed, and nodded her head. "Yeah I think so." Bruce with his smile still on his lips, held his arm out for Alessandra to take and as she looped her arm around his, he then led them up towards his room to start their project while Alfred went to go get dinner ready.
As Bruce and Alessandra climbed up the stairs, Bruce looked over at her with a small smirk. "How was your afternoon?" Ally rolled her eyes and slowly shook her head. "Spent majority of the day with my father going to all these car shops because he's looking for a specific car part for his baby. I swear I am never ever doing that again!" Bruce chuckled as they started to walk down the hallway. "Oh come on Al you know your dad loves that car." Alessandra nodded, smiling over at him.
"I know, and he honestly felt that this would be a good father, daughter bonding experience so I shouldn't really complain. He also wants to know if you could come over sometime to help him out, I think you have became the son he's never had."
Bruce laughed as they both now walked into his room. "Well next to Alfred he's the closest thing I have to a father as well so that ties it up pretty well." Alessandra giggled and gently bowed her head. "Yeah I suppose your right." She said softly as she finally looked up into his brown eyes.
As she was staring at them she couldn't help but get lost. Bruce's eyes were so much more different than Jack's where Bruce's eyes were softer and light, sure he has handle so much throughout his childhood but the light in his eyes never left. However, Jack's eyes were dark and told a story of terror and anger, there were days that his eyes would turn literally black and it would almost seem that the anger he held within him would practically consume him.
She softly smiled at Bruce once she noticed that she was staring a little bit longer than usual and slowly looked away. "We um should get started on that project." Bruce smiled as he placed her backpack on top of his bed and nodded. "Yeah I agree…" After a couple of hours studying and arguing with what was going to be on the project Bruce was now sitting in the chair next to his desk, staring up at the ceiling and twirling around in his chair while Ally was laying on her stomach on his bed looking down at her book with her pencil in her ear.
"I still think we should add this in Bruce."
Bruce agitatedly sighed and glared over at her. "Fine… I don't see the point in it but fine." Alessandra groaned out of frustration and slammed her book shut. "You know what? Let's take a break we've been going at this for hours!" Bruce whirled his chair around towards her and nodded. "Yeah I agree." Bruce then sighed as he bowed his head down and started to massage his neck.
"So did you have a good time last night?"
He asked, still massaging the kinks in his neck. Alessandra arched her brow at him but slowly nodded. "Yeah did you?" Bruce slowly nodded, still looking down. "Jack was decent with you after I dropped you two off?" He asked Ally shrugged thinking back to the conversation they had the other night. "Yes he was… I take it that you guys had an interesting conversation last night while Rachel and I grabbed our seats." Bruce shrugged. "I suppose you could say that, that is if he didn't lie to you about it yet." Alessandra glared at Bruce and immediately sat up.
"What is that supposed to mean!"
Bruce then immediately glared up at her. "It means I don't trust him Ally, especially not with you." Alessandra rolled her eyes up towards the ceiling and sighed. "Bruce you don't trust anyone when it comes to me! No matter what guy I'm interested in there's always something wrong with them in your eyes! At the rate I'm going you're never going to like anyone I bring to introduce you too! If you had it your way I would be alone forever!" Bruce grew angry with that statement and slammed his fist on his desk, causing Ally to jump.
"That's not what I want!"
He yelled as he slowly looked back towards her. "I want you to have the world that you deserve! I want you to live the perfect life." He then slowly rose up from his seat and went to sit down next to her, giving her a completely serious look as he caressed her cheek with his hand.
"I want you to be happy…"
He whispered as he gently placed a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"Ally, you have no idea how much you mean to me. I'd give up the world just so I can see you smile. Jack may care for you Al but he is going to lead you down the wrong path. Guys like Jack well they lead a life of destruction and play with people's heads to get where they need to be. He's a chameleon Al and I know I can't tell you to stop hanging out with him but I just want you to be careful. He's a very dangerous person and when we had that conversation last night at the concession line he told me all I need to know about him. He's the type of guy who will screw with you, alternate the way you think and in the end when it's all said and done he will destroy everything you hold so dear. Ally I know that this is something you don't want to hear but he will do what it takes to get where he wants to go, he will trick, con, and sway and the last person in the world I want him to get involved with his vicious little disease is you."
Bruce sighed as he rested his forehead against hers.
"Ally you're my everything and if anything happens to you I cannot guarantee you that I won't do something about it. I might even kill him; I just want you to know that."
Alessandra's eyes started to well up after hearing him say all this, Bruce slowly moved away from her and stared into her sapphire eyes and gave her a sad smile. Tears now started to roll down Ally's cheeks as Bruce went to wipe them away, he then wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her temple as she continued to cry. "Hey… Ally its ok. I know you're confused and torn and it's going to be ok. No matter what I'm always going to be here, I'll always be here for you Ally." Alessandra wrapped her arms around Bruce's neck as she cried even more.
It was so hard for Ally to fight this feeling, she really genuinely cared for Bruce, in all honesty she really could love him but she was so afraid, she was scared that she would lose him, or he'd lose interest and just leave or most of all she was afraid that he would break her heart. Bruce sighed as she buried her face into his chest; he gently kissed her forehead as she moved back from him. How could this one person take over his heart so completely? He thought to himself, Alessandra slowly looked up at him as he looked down at her, for some reason the intensity between the two had increased incredibly.
Bruce slowly rested his forehead against hers and allowed out a long sigh as he closed his eyes. Alessandra's heart had started to race rapidly, she noticed that Bruce was slowly inching closer to her and in all honesty she wasn't about to fight it as Bruce began to move closer, Ally was now slowly inching closer to him until suddenly there was a knock on the door.
As soon as Bruce and Ally heard this they immediately backed away from one another as Alfred slowly opened the door. "I apologize Master Wayne and Miss Alessandra from disrupting you from your studies but dinner is ready." Bruce turned over to the older man and gave him a tight smile. "Thank you Alfred we'll be there in just a minute." Alfred gave Bruce a slight nod and left Bruce's room. Once Alfred was gone Bruce immediately looked back at Ally to notice that she rose up from his bed. "I think I'm going to skip dinner and head out." Bruce's heart dropped, he quickly rose up from the bed and placed his hands on Ally's shoulders.
"No! Please Ally I don't want you to leave, can you stay a little bit longer?"
Ally sighed and slowly shook her head. "Bruce I just think it would be best if I headed out." She said softly, knowing if she stayed she may not be able to control herself. "Ally come on, I just want to hang out ok? I'm sorry." Alessandra immediately looked up at him completely confused. "Sorry for what?" Bruce shyly shrugged, giving her a crooked smile. "For being a jerk." Alessandra slowly smiled and started to laugh.
"Bruce you're not being a jerk, I um am just confused that's all."
Bruce then just chuckled as he placed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Don't feel bad I'm kinda confused too." Ally widely smiled and gently bowed her head. "Alright Bruce I'll stay, but when I say I have to head out I have to head out or my father will kill me." Bruce chuckled as they both head out of his room and towards the dining room. "Alright Ally, Alright."
Once dinner was finished, Alessandra and Bruce were laughing as they walked back into his room. "So Trent Stevens tried to convince you that you needed to go to the dance with him?" Bruce asked laughingly as Alessandra scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Yeah… but then Jack freaked him out so he laid off." She smirked as she climbs up onto his bed and lounges herself against his headboard while he turned on the movie player. Bruce arched his brow over at her once he placed the movie in the player and slowly moved to the other side of the bed.
"What did Jack say to freak out Trent Stevens?"
Ally shrugged her shoulders. "Just kinda creeped him out by saying he got in a fight because some guy was trying to hit on me and that he won, so I guess it freaked him out." Bruce scoffed as he now lounged upon his bed next to Ally. "Did he get in a fight for that reason?" Alessandra shook her head, giving him a small smile. "No… I think he just said that to get Trent to leave me alone." Bruce slowly nodded deep in thought as he placed his hands behind his head and lounged against his pillow.
"And it doesn't scare you that he's so good at lying or playing mind games?"
Alessandra frowned as she looked down at him as he now was laying on his side looking up at her. "It concerns me a bit but I think deep down he has a good heart, he's just been through a lot to make him seem like a very eerie person but in reality he's not like that at all, he just gives off that kind of vibe that's all." Bruce silently nodded and then grabbed his remote to turn the TV on. "You need to promise me that if he does anything to you that makes you feel uncomfortable that you will tell me. No matter what." Ally smiled as softly ran her fingers through his hair.
"I promise."
Bruce smiled and gently took her hand into his and placed his lips against her soft skin. He then looked up at her with a look of complete seriousness. "There's going to be another hearing for my parent's murder. They're going to decide what they are going to do with him." He said in such a quiet and serious tone.
Alessandra frowned, knowing how hard this really was on him; the fact that Bruce couldn't even still say the man's name was still a huge aspect to Bruce's hard demeanor and showed how much he just couldn't accept that his parents were gone. He couldn't let go, no matter how long it's been his heart was still a piece of stone towards everyone except for her, Alfred, her parents, and Rachel. Alessandra knew that they were the only people Bruce really trusted and really cherished. She knew how much he really had to deal with, the bouts of depression, the late night phone calls just because he had another nightmare that involved his parent's murder or bats.
Bat's was a huge fear of Bruce's, he absolutely hated them. Ally remembered when they were 12 years old her father and mother took them both to the zoo and as soon as Bruce saw the bat cage Bruce immediately panicked and they had to cut the trip short. She also remembered that night how badly Bruce felt for making them leave early and would hide in her parent's guest room and would not come out. So Ally decided to cheer him up by mischievously unlocking the door and carried her boom box out and started to play You're my Best Friend by Queen. She remember how she dressed up as much as she could as a Rock Star and started to dance around the room and lip synching the song just to get him to smile. Bruce eventually ended up smiling and began to sing and dance along with her, that night was one of the most memorable night for the both of them.
Alessandra softly smiled at the memory as Bruce looped his fingers with hers. "I want you to come with me. I can't go by myself." Alessandra gave Bruce a gentle smile and kissed his forehead. "Don't worry I'll be there." She whispered, Bruce immediately grinned at her and quickly rose his body up from laying down and wrapped his arms around her tightly, forgetting the movie completely. "Thank You…" He said in a relieved tone, Ally laughed and looked up into his dark brown eyes. Alessandra couldn't help but get lost in those big ole brown eyes. The same eyes that were able to convince her to do anything he asked.
Bruce was notorious for giving her that little puppy dog look, looking at her with those big brown eyes and every time Ally would give in and this was one of those moments where she was willing to give in. Bruce gently caressed her cheek with his hand, he kissed her forehead and went down to kiss the bridge of her nose, Ally closed her eyes as he now started to kiss the corner of her mouth. She started to breathe heavier as her heart started to race. Bruce then looped his arm around her waist and then finally closed the gap between them.
At first Bruce was soft and gentle, not sure how Ally was going to react to this but as soon as he felt her responding to his kiss, he then started to kiss her even more passionately. He pulled her completely against him, deepening the kiss to the point where they both were now so lost within another. Ally softly placed her hand behind his neck to pull him closer.
Bruce then slipped his tongue, hoping she knew what he wanted and Alessandra obliged by gently opening her mouth enough for them both to fight dominance against one another. Alessandra moaned from the amazing feeling of having his lips against hers as Bruce then became bolder and slowly started to move on top of her, Ally laid back against the pillows looping her arms completely around his neck as he now was practically lying on top of her severely enthralled by their embrace. Bruce groaned against her as he ravaged her lips with his, her body practically molded against his and that is when he realized how perfect she was for him.
How was something so wrong feel so right? How was it that these two best friends cared so much more for one another than just on a friendly basis, at this moment they didn't care. All they cared right now was to be with one another after a few more moments of their embrace they both finally broke away from one another breathing heavily as Bruce rested his forehead against hers as he closed his eyes and smiled.
"Wow…"
He whispered as Ally smiled up at him and ran her fingers through his dark hair. "Maybe… we should try and finish the movie." She whispered laughingly. Bruce grinned down at her and immediately rolled on his side pulling her with him and kissed her once again. "I guess we should." He grinned with that crooked grin of his as Ally laughed. Bruce then moved up to situate the pillows and laid his back against them as he laid his head against the headboard. He then pulled Ally upwards as she laid her head against his chest while he wrapped his arm around her; he then kissed the top of her head as he rewound the movie and started it back from the beginning.
Throughout the entire movie they both sat there laughing at certain scenes or started talking about how crazy some of the characters were, never once throughout the entire night had they talked about what just recently happened. As soon as the movie finished Bruce then turned the TV off and looked down to see that Ally was sound asleep. Bruce smiled at this and softly rubs his hand up and down her back. Alfred peeped his head in Bruce's room and gave him a small smile once he saw the scene before him. "Master Wayne, Miss. Alessandra's father is on the line asking when Miss. Alessandra is coming home." Bruce gave Alfred a closed mouth smile.
"Can you tell Mr. Abberline that Ally ended up falling asleep and is too tired to drive home? And that we'll prepare a room for her to stay in tonight?"
Alfred nodded as he went back to speak on the phone, explaining to Mr. Abberline what they would like to do since Alessandra was obviously extremely exhausted. Bruce knew that Mr. Abberline would have no problem with Ally staying here at the Manor since she has done it plenty of times.
Alfred then opened the door slightly and peeped his head in again. "Mr. Abberline said that is completely fine sir and thanks you for looking out for Miss. Alessandra's safety." Bruce smiled at Alfred and nodded. "Thank you Alfred." Alfred nodded, placing his hands behind his back. "Not a problem sir, I shall prepare a room for Miss Alessandra." Bruce nodded as he continued to rub Ally's back as she nuzzled her face deeper into his chest as she allows out a soft sigh. Bruce chuckled at this and looked back up at Alfred.
"I'll stay in the guest room tonight Alfred, no sense in waking her just to move her in a different room."
Alfred smiled at the young man and slightly bowed.
"As you wish sir."
And with that Alfred had left to go prepare the room.
Hello Everyone, I apologize for the delay my laptop was acting up but I finally managed to finish chapter 7. Sorry that there was no Jack in this chapter but I wanted to show how much closer the relationship between Alessandra and Bruce was becoming. I promise though that Jack will be in the next chapter though. Other than that what do you think? Do you think it's wrong of Bruce and Ally to act in this sort of way while they both are kinda involved with someone else? Or did you think that maybe it was about time that they started admitting how they felt for one another? I promise that chapter 8 will be out soon, possibly this weekend but I just want to thank everyone for the adds and the reviews they really do help keep me motivated so I really appreciate that. Once again thank you all for taking the time to read this chapter, the next chapter should be out fairly soon so stay tuned. :)
