Recap:
Phoebe, sighed and smiled as she stirred on the clod bathroom floor, looking up at the black clad figure of batman, his eyes firmly set on hers, watching her every movement. 'What' she asked her voice a little husky from the nights earlier activities, he ran cold, ungloved fingers over her cheek as he bent his head to place a soft kiss on her lips, before pulling back slightly and whispering in her ear, 'Will you marry me?'
'You what?' Phoebe asked, her eyes as wide as saucers as she sat up and turned to look at Batman, clutching the towel to her chest, as if hiding her naked body from the eyes of the man beside her, even though he had already seen her naked, it was almost a defence mechanism. With her free hand she tucked some pieces of long, chocolate coloured curls behind her ears, so he could examine her face better. 'D...Did you just ask me to Marry you?' she blinked rapidly her long eye lashes briefly fluttering against her cheeks as she blinked, her lips held open in an shocked expression.
Batman looked to the ground sadly before rolling onto his back and covering his face with his hands, hiding his expression from Phoebe, 'I know, it's ... it's stupid, forget I even asked' he rumbled through his fingers the sound coming out muffled. Phoebe sighed softly and let her surprised expression melt into a smile, as she leaned forward to remove his hands from his place, leaning against his chest looking up at him, as he gazed back at her from his newly removed hands. 'It isn't stupid, and there's nothing in the world I'd love more.' She smiled up at him laying her head down on top of her that was stretched across his armoured chest, all her hair sliding to one side except one curly strand that remained clinging to the exposed flesh of her shoulder. He looked incredibly shocked, his mouth almost hanging open at her words, 'Are you saying yes?' he asked, his voice still scratchy but somewhat softer as he clasped her face in his hands drawing her up his body and loser to him until her face was hovering inches away from his own, his deep, intensely dark eyes searching hers, as she nodded, a beautiful grin on her face as she whispered 'yes, I am!' Her smile was infectious and it only took seconds for his face to crack into a smile mimicking hers, a look of love and desire in his eyes as he wrapped his fingers in her hair and brought her lips down to meet his in a frantic and passionate kiss, running his tongue across her bottom lip encouraging her to open her mouth, allowing his tongue access to rub and battle against hers, as his free hand gripped her hip lightly, just like before.
'I really have to go, but I'll be back tonight to discuss things, remember if you need me, even if you suspect anything strange, I want you to page me, that pager is linked directly to me and its only for you, so press it if you need to.' Batman said to Phoebe crouching on the sill of her bay window, the wind billowing his cape out behind him. She nodded and tightened her hand around the small black pager he had given her, her eyes focused on his as he leaned forward, placing a soft kiss on her forehead and then her nose, pulling back to look deep into her eyes before once again capturing her lips in a breath taking kiss. 'I love you' he whispered against her lips before rubbing his nose against hers and slinking away out of the window leaving her alone gazing out at Gotham City's early morning mist.
Walking back into her bedroom Phoebe looked into her full length mirror examining her reflection, her long dark curls pulled up into a loose ponytail, pieces falling haphazardly around her face, her usually pale skin flushed with happiness but tainted slightly with ugly bruises and tiny cuts from her time with the joker, her big dark eyes now holding a happiness she hadn't seen in herself since him, this made her heart glow and she nodded to herself 'I am going to make the most of my new life! And it's going to start now!' Happy with her decision she grabbed a blanket off of a chair in her bedroom before plonking herself down on her comfy sofa in front of the tele, flicking through the channels she saw St. Trinians two and smiled to herself putting her control down to watch the film, but found herself reaching for her phone, to check in with her friends, dialling Sophie's number she waited as it rang before Sophie picked up and screeched down the receiver at her.
'Phoebe? It's you! Are you safe? Are you home? Are you hurt? How did you get away from The Joker! We were all so worried, and we miss you so much!' Phoebe grinned at her best friend's garbling, shaking her head before answering.
'Yes, Soph it's me, yes I'm safe and Yes I'm home. No I'm not hurt, well other than a few cuts and bruises, and Batman saved me, he brought me back here. And I miss you too.'
The two girls chatted and filled each other in on what happened and finally the conversation landed on the Subject of Batman.
'See, I told you he has a thing for you girl!' Sophie giggled, not yet aware of her best friend's situation.
'That's defiantly true Soph, I give you that!' Phoebe stated a knowing giggle in her voice.
'Oh My God!' Sophie squealed happily! 'Are you telling me something happened? Please tell me something happened?' she begged 'Oh my god Phoebe did you have Sex with him? Is he good? He has to be with that body? Oh go on, tell me!'
Phoebe laughed out loud at her frantic questions. 'Well there's a lot I need to tell you, I need to you to calm down so I can explain it all, because believe me it'll take a lot of explaining.' When Phoebe had finished explaining her new life and what had happened, she waited for Sophie's reaction, which she guessed would be hyper and happy and was surprised when all she heard on the other end of the phone was Sophie's excited 'Oh My God' and a hefty thud as she hit the floor.
