"Jaaaaannnnnneeeee" a voice sang.
"Wake up or you'll miss the fireworks!"
My head was pounding as my vision began to slowly become clear. All I could see was the night sky around me with the stars shining bright it were as if I could reach out and be enlightened or something. I don't know, I was still fuzzy from the gas. As I suddenly jumped back into reality I realised where I was.
"Clown, why am I on the roof of a building?"
"Not just any building Beautiful, Wayne Towers! The tallest building in the whole of Gotham."
I began to fidget but realised I'd been tied to a chair. Nothing was near me to help me get out! Oh shit what was he planning?
"And Beautiful ..." The chair jutted forward a little. I looked down panicking.
"Every minute you spend up there, you get closer to the fireworks!"
"I don't understand your meaning!" I shouted into the blue.
"Johnny is on the opposite building with the same thing happening right now. It's up to Batman to choose who he saves. Either way he ends up being caught up in the fireworks or being thrown over the edge. He has to choose. You or the boy."
"Mum?" I heard Johnny yell.
"It's okay Hunny, Batman will be over for you in a minute! Just sit tight and think happy thoughts!"
I did the same. Johnny said nothing. I said nothing. We were both deep in our own thoughts. I hope batman saves Johnny and gets out safe.
SCRREEECCH. The chair jutted closer to the edge.
What happens if he saves me instead of Johnny! What will I do knowing that my boy is ...
SCRREEECCH. The chair moved closer to the edge.
Oh god I can't take this anymore!
SCRREEECCH. I was at the edge of the roof looking at the cars below. This was it, if you die you get closer to Dan ... Think about it that way!
SCRREEECCH. One more tug and I was gone.
"MUUUUMMMMMYYYYY!" Johnny screamed. "YOU HAVE TO GET MUMMY!"
He'd saved my boy. Thank god.
"PLEASE GET MY MUM, PLEASE BATMAN I NEED HER!"
A door was shoved open from behind me. The sound of boots came closer to my ears.
"Commissioner Gordon here! Give us the girl clown, no one needs to get hurt."
A small footstep and ...
SCREECH BANG.
I was flying through the air. The cars on the ground were getting ever closer to me. This is it. I'm a goner. The lights began to blur my vision. My eyes were filling with tears.
"DEAR GOD SOMEONE LOOK AFTER MY SON!" I yelled to anybody listening.
OOOOMMPPPHHH. Someone had caught me mid fall. But we were still hurtling towards the cars below. Whoever it was enwrapped me in a black sheet and faced me towards the sky. It was getting further and further awa...
CRASH.
We'd landed on a car below. I didn't dare open my eyes. Was I dead?
I rolled over and realised I had been encased by the batman. I was laying on top of Batman.
"Are you okay Jane?"
"Let's not do that again." I gasped, out of breath. "Where's Johnny?"
"He's with Commissioner Gordon and on his way to Gotham City Police Department."
"Thank you." I breathed. I lay on him as he began to move. Swooping me into his arms he carried me into his black car. I drifted off to sleep to the sweet sound of the engine.
"Mum! Guess what, Guess what?" Johnny woke me up by jumping on my bed. We were back in Wayne Manor, thank god for that!
"What's up Hun?"
"The Batman asked me about my thinking and how I solved the riddle and said that I had telecan eats this!"
"You mean you have telekinesis? Really!"
"Yeah, watch this!"
I watched as Johnny crumpled his face and shut his eyes. He began twitching then stopped. I turned to my right to see the photo frame on my bedside table rise in the air. My mouth dropped open as it moved closer to my head and suddenly dropped on my lap.
"Johnny ... That was amazing!"
"I know right? Batman said I could learn from him how to do more stuff with my head." Batman, where was he? I didn't get to say thank you. I turned to my bedside table again.
"Johnny what's the date?"
"The 25th of April, why?"
"I've been asleep for three days then! And we were with the Joker ..."
"Ooh, and the Jokers been put back in Arkham a Smile um. He's under maximum security!" Johnny began jumping up and down on the bed. I guess that's the best news he's heard since coming on this trip.
The bedroom door slid open and in walked a topless Bruce Wayne. Wow, I'm not going to lie ... He's SOOOOO hot. I kept my cool though. I don't know how I've ignored his beauty for so long! I mean the dark hair, green eyes, tanned skin and his buff upper body. I felt like a teenage girl getting all flustered when a boy looks at her and winks. In his hands was a homemade breakfast with a newspaper and a cup of coffee. As he placed it on my lap I started snickering.
"Yeah, I know the bacon's a bit burnt." I laughed a little harder.
"And the egg is raw." I was in hysterics, I couldn't contain myself.
Bless him, Bruce had bought me two slices of bread, a raw egg, burnt bacon and cold coffee.
"Do you know how to use a kitchen Bruce?"
"No, Alfred usually does it all for me!"
Ping it finally clicked.
"Where is my dad, is he sick or something?"
"Grandad flew back to England to see Grandma!" Johnny shouted happily throwing his arms up and hitting Bruce in the face.
"What, why?" I asked with a smile.
"We had an argument about my safety and said how he refused to bury me." Bruce answered.
"Ohh, well at least you've got the Domestic Goddess herself to teach you how to cook!"
Pushing the food to the side I threw on some trackies and a sweatshirt with the Gotham Bees on and went downstairs. The boys joined me and I began to teach Bruce how to cook if he ever needed it.
"First you start with this."
"An egg!"
"Good boy Johnny!"
"Then what?"
"You crack it open!" I tapped the egg gently and it slid down the bowl.
"Sorcery!" Bruce yelled.
"I'll show you how to make a cake, that's the most fun!"
I began prepping the sugar and butter and got Bruce to mix. Unfortunately he pressed too hard and broke the bowl but I found another one.
"Next add the eggs."
"I need to crack them first, right?"
"Yes Bruce!" I began laughing. I couldn't stop! As Bruce chucked the eggs in he grabbed a handful of flour and threw it at my face.
"What did you just do!" Johnny shouted. After seeing the mess he too grabbed flour and threw it at me.
"Two on one? That's not fair!" I grabbed a handful per hand and threw it at both boys.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Johnny shouted as chaos commenced. Flour flew through the air, Bruce cracked eggs on our heads but Johnny got him back by pouring milk on his head. It was madness. It was hilarious. The cake batter got poured down mine and Johnny's back. That's when Johnny went full force.
He shut his eyes and mouth and scrunched his face in tight. Bruce and I looked up as food from all around the large industrial kitchen rose into the air.
"GO!" Johnny cried as all food in the kitchen flew towards us. Luckily that was only bread, some carrots and some freshly baked biscuits.
"Can we not play this game anymore! I'm all yucky!" Johnny opened his eyes and laughed at all the mess.
"You made most of this young man!" I pointed towards him.
"Yeah but I'm only four, I can't clean this and Bruce doesn't know how to!" I looked to the Billionaire who shrugged.
"You know what, I'll take Johnny upstairs and clean him up and you can ..." What can a billionaire with no idea how to clean start helping me clean? "You can pick up all the eggs and put them in this plastic bag." He nodded and smiled, flashing his shiny white teeth.
We ran upstairs and I quickly got Johnny washed up and changed. He dragged me back down stairs so he could sit in the family room and watch TV. That boy has been missing his cartoons. Too my shock, the kitchen clean when I walked back in.
"Hey, don't come in here I've just washed the floors!"
"You can clean but can't cook!"
"I spent several years in Thailand sharing a small room with two large families. I know how to clean a mess." He walked towards me and put his hand on my face, gently running it down my egg smothered cheeks.
"Jane, I was so worried about you. I was worried about them hurting you ..."
"I was fine, for most of it. Just glad to be back here."
"I'm glad too." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close. "I'm glad batman saves you when he could. I'm glad he's teaching Johnny to use his special powers."
"You're just happy about everything."
"I'm head over heels now you're here." Our heads got closer and closer. We were centimetres always from kissing. My heart WANs pounding against my chest. I hadn't felt like this since I was with Dan. I could feel his breath on my face when ...
"MUM, BRUCE. METAL MOUTH IS ON THE NEWS!"
We ran towards the family room which was literally a room with three big sofas, a fire and a big ass TV. On it showed a very concerned news reporter with blonde straggly hair and tried green eyes.
"Breaking news. Bane, a notorious criminal has struck the stock exchange the same day Bruce Wayne becomes bankrupt and becomes one of the People."
"You're bankrupt? I swear your family had loads and loads of money!"
"Yeah well not anymore. Doesn't change a man well it hasn't affected me in anyway."
"No it hasn't." Oh god the words just fell out of my mouth. The newsreader continued.
"Bane had hostages held at the stock exchange all day yesterday and made it away due to the distraction of the Batman."
"BATMAN CAME HERE AFTERWARDS AND HELPED ME WITH MY TELLY CAN WHATSITS." Johnny shouted happily.
Bane ... Bane. Where do I remember that name?
A picture of Metal mouth appeared on screen.
"This is what Bane looks like. If you see him, do not approach him." The newsreader briefly closed her report and the TV returned to cartoons.
Bane was Metalmouth. He'd been working with the clown the whole time. He knew of Johnny's powers. He knew what we looked like.
Oh god. We're screwed!
