*RECAP*

'Ok,' he started, his voice sending her chills. 'As you know, The Joker has broken out of Arkham ...' as the last word lefty his lips there was a crack of thunder outside and the apartment's power cut leaving them in darkness. Phoebe squeaked in fear and twisted to the side forgetting Batman was their until her lips unintentionally collided with his.

'Uh, let me, uh grab a candle.' Phoebe stuttered as she swallowed heavily as she got up from her seat on the sofa, leaving Batman sat there, his body held in a really tense posture. As she entered in to the dark kitchen finding her way by running her hands along the walls and furniture around the room. A blush stung her cheeks tinting them a pretty shade of pink and her big dark eyes to stay wide open. She leaned against the counter in her kitchen after grabbing a candle out of a draw, clutching it to her chest, letting the notion that she'd just kissed Batman sink into her mind, even if it was by accident. Shaking her head with a small smile on her lips she made her way back into the living room, placing the candle down on the table, lighting the wick and once again taking her place in front of Batman.

Batman shook his thoughts out of his head as he watched her take a seat before him once again. Her cheeks were a faint rosy pink and some stray curls had fallen free from her plait, framing her heart shaped face perfectly, making him think of an angel. His breath caught in his throat, before he coughed bringing himself out of his reverie. 'Uh yeah, so, The Joker has broken out of Arkham, He will likely be after you and you're friend. I will be watching you to make sure you're safe.' Pressing a button on his arm cuff a device popped up revealing a small black pager, that he preceded place in Phoebe's open dainty hand. 'This is a pager that is connected to only me, so if you need me, don't hesitate to call. If anything is suspicious, I mean it Phoebe, I want ... need you to stay safe.' He ran his metal clad hand over her soft cheek feeling the texture even through his armour.

She nodded at him, her beautiful big dark eyes being batted by her thick dark eyelashes, and she unconsciously dragged her tongue over her lips giving them a layer of moisture, and making his heart hurt and his stomach clench oddly. 'Well,' he said standing hurriedly, afraid of what he'd do, 'I have to go, got to try and catch that clown.' He stuttered as he made his way over to the window in her hallway climbing through and pausing to look at her figure in the shadowy doorway holding her candle, her skin being bathed in a pulp of yellowish light. 'Again call if you need me.' And with that he left, the window shutting with a clatter behind him.

Phoebe shrugged and turned to walk away an odd sadness and feeling of disappointment tugging at her heart, a few tears stinging her eyes at the way he had just left her. As she was about to sit down she heard an urgent tapping on the window Batman had just left through. With an eyebrow raised Phoebe walked her way back into the hallway to see Batman leaning his way in through the open pain of glass, his dark eyes gazing at her as she approached him, placing the candle on a nearby table. 'What's ...?' Phoebe started but was cut off by Batman pulling her towards him and placing his lips forcefully against hers, dragging his tongue over her bottom lip begging her to open her mouth and taste her, her hands finding their way to his broad shoulders. He pulled away and shot her a dashing smile and wink as he left, leaving her to have a girly grin on her lips and slide down the wall, coming to rest on the floor.

Phoebe was woken by her phone ringing next to her head, her body and neck were stiff from the position she had found herself in, still laying in a crumpled head on the hallway floor.

'Mmm Hello?' she asked yawning as she got up, stretching, and walking into her bathroom to fix her hair. Upon seeing her smudged lipstick her heart started to thump loudly remembering events of the night before.

'Hey sweetie its Soph!' her chirpy best friend called down the receiver into her ear, 'You know we are supposed to be at Bruce's party tonight?'

Phoebe bit her lip, thinking as she smoothed her hair down with her free hand. 'Uh yeah'

'Well' the excitable blond said 'He has asked if you'll sing a few songs at the party tonight?'

Phoebe's eyes widened and her mouth fell open, she knew her and the girls were going, but being asked to sing was an amazing privilege. 'Uh, Yeah of course! I'd love too!' a hint of excitement in her voice.

'Great, I'll tell you more over lunch! And remember the limo will be over for us at 6 tonight! Love you! Bye!' she garbled down the phone, nearly hanging up before Phoebe could reply with 'bye, Soph, love you too.' Shaking her head as she hung up, she quickly stripped leaping into her shower to get ready for her shift at the cafe.

'Issy! These flower arrangements are gorgeous! They must have taken you forever!' Phoebe said as she ran a painted fingernail over a velvety petal of a deep red rose. Her red haired friend blushed and thanked her for the compliment as the four girls reached for glasses of champagne from a passing waiter's tray. 'You ready Phoebe? The piano and microphone is set up for you.' Bruce said coming over and smiling charmingly at the women. Nodding, phoebe made her way to the stage where a big black grand piano awaited her. Her friends crowded in front of the stage as Bruce introduced her, Sophie with a big cheesy grin, giving her thumbs up, Issy smiling encouragingly as she sipped from her glass, and Emily pointing a hi tech camera at her. As she heard the other instruments around her begin she laid her fingers n the ivory keys and let the words flow out of her mouth.

'I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah'

'Ha Ha He he Ho ha ha, well beautiful, you sure have a beautiful voice.' Called a squeaky, insane tipped voice...
