THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS I LOVE THEM ALL AND THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME! OK, THIS CHAPTER WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THE PARTY SCENE WHERE JOKER INTERRUPTS IN THE MOVIE SO I DON'T WANT TO TAKE MUCH CREDIT FOR. FURTHERMORE, SOMEONE TOLD ME (AnnabelleLee13194) SO SINCE SHE ASKED FIRST I WAS WONDERING IF YOU ACTUALLY DID MEAN IT AND I'LL ADD YOU TO THE STORY, BUT IF YOU DON'T AND SOMEONE ELSE DOES I WILL STILL ADD A HENCHWOMAN. SAYING THAT PLEASE ENJOY THIS CHAPTER.
PS - I'm sorry for the long update. As, readers from my other story, I was focusing on that one, but no worries ROMINA88, I updated. Oh, and I recently received my first flame from SlashJunky which made me very sad and unfortunately I can't delete those two nasty reviews, but I know there are many of you that do like my story making me feel happy again. So, in other words... SCREW YOU SLASHJUNKY (what kind of name is that anyways?)
"I can't believe you forced me to come to this," growled Lily. Dave only smiled. He was wearing a nice black button up shirt with matching black pants. Lily on the other hand was wearing an ivory long, white gown. Her hair was down with same pearl clips on it.
"I know you'll have lots of fun," he said, opening the door. It was a different ballroom at a pent house Bruce recently bought. Apparently, the newlyweds were having a party of some sort. "Hey, there's Cynthia with Alex," he said waving his hand at them.
"You haven't told them right, Dave?" she asked almost accusingly.
"Not a soul, Bell," he whispered as Cynthia and Alex came over.
"Hey, Dave. Belinda," she said smiling politely at her. Alex greeted them back, too.
"Hi," said Lily. She had missed Cynthia so much over the past year. She had an urge to tell her, but she held herself from jumping into her best friends arms.
"Uh, Belinda. I was thinking... Can I talk to you for a moment?" Belinda nodded, giving Dave one last look and followed Cynthia to the corner of the room.
"What would you like to talk about Cynthia?"
"I heard you're moved into Waterfall Manor," she said casually.
"Yes, it's still not completely fixed, but it's the only roof I have," she said with a small smile.
Cynthia nodded. "How is my Lilybell?" she said sadly. "Why hasn't she called?"
Lily had to restrain herself from crying. Seeing the hurt look on Cynthia's face made her feel guilty. "She's fine. Like I said she moved to Paris with her husband after her aunt died."
"But, she didn't call. I got a call from Liz's personal assistant," she said now forming tears from her eyes.
"I know that's why she sent me. Cynthia, Lily's still hurt, but I know that when she's over it, you'll be the first she'll call."
"But why you? How do you know each other?" she said glaring her.
"I'm from here, but I moved to London a couple years back. I met Lily and she told me everything she went through and we became fast friends, but don't worry, Cynthia. I could never replace you. She loves you much, much more."
Cynthia smiled a bit. "I'm sorry for the questionnaire. It's just that I'm very overprotective of her. When she told me that she was moving away, I couldn't stop crying for a whole week. We've never been that far apart for so long," she said. Her tears finally came down, but she quickly wiped them off. "It's because of that Wayne," she growled. "If it weren't for Alex's sake, that bastard would be castrated right now."
Lily's face turned serious, but the cracked up in laughter followed by Cynthia.
"Hey, pretty lady," said Alex, wrapping his arm around her waist. "You, OK?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," she said kissing his lips lightly.
"Mm, you wouldn't mind if I danced with her, right Belinda?" he asked Lily.
"No, no, of course not," said Lily. She leaned back against the wall and smiled watching the two dance. Oh, my Cynthia's in love, she thought happily.
"Hello, Miss Rose," said someone beside her. Lily turned her head and found Bruce next to her. He looked so handsome like always, making Lily have butterflies in her stomach.
"Mr. Wayne," she spat. "What are you doing here with me? Shouldn't you be with your wife?"
"Yes, dancing with her friends," he said pointing at Diana's group with Lorena and other pretty looking girls.
"What, is she bored with you already?" she smirked. Her smirk quickly vanished from her face when she saw Bruce glared at her. She almost thought he heard a growl coming from his mouth. He grabbed her by the arm and quickly pulled her outside.
"Oww! Let go of me," she hissed.
Bruce finally let go when he turned around. "I want to know who you are and what's your relationship with Lily," he demanded.
"Mr. Wayne I thought you knew that already," she smirked, rubbing her wrist.
"No I do not. Why are you here?"
"I'm here for Lily's sake. She wanted me to tell everyone what happened to her... Well, at least her closest friends. You found out the hard way." With that she went to turn and leave, but she was spun back again facing Bruce. They were so close to each other, Lily felt his hot breath against her lips.
"Do you know how hard it is thinking that she's married with another man when she should be married to me?" he growled.
Lily shook out of his grip. "How do you think she feels? Knowing that you married a woman that made her life miserable when she still loves you."
"Loves me? She still loves me?" he said with twinkle in his eyes and hope in his voice.
"I-I said 'loved'," she stammered.
"No, I heard you say 'still loves'," he pointed out.
"Well, think what you'd like to think. It doesn't matter. Both of you are two worlds apart." Again she went to go back to the party, but was held back by Bruce. "What now?" asked annoyed.
"Do you talk to her on the phone?" he asked.
Lily sighed. "Yes, I do."
"How is she?" he whispered.
The look that Bruce gave her made her stomach quench. "She's fine."
"Is she happy?" he asked.
Lily bit her lip and nodded. "Yes."
Lily quickly walked away from him and went to the bathroom. She went to an empty stall and leaned against the door. Oh, I'm still in love with him. Why after all he did to he, why am I still in love with him? She thought back to when he grabbed her. She liked that side of Bruce. So forceful. What?! No, I can't thinking of him that way. No, no more, she thought. When to fix her herself in the mirror and walk out the door.
As she walked back, she saw Mario on the phone. She tried to sneak in and listen his conversation. "Yeah... Everything is set... No one suspects anything," he laughed. Lily gasped when he looked her way and quickly hid before being noticed. "He's coming right... What do you mean you don't know?" he growled. "Right, right he does things his own way... He better show up... Yeah, whatever, bye."
Lily composed herself and walked down again as if nothing happened. She needed to know what Mario was talking about. As she walked past him, she could tell that he was staring at her. She almost laughed when he pinned her against the wall.
"Well, hello, Miss of the Rose," he said looking at her up and down.
"Please, Mr. Costa. Call me Belinda," she said seductively.
He chuckled. "Belinda, call me Mario," he whispered in her ear.
Lily laughed almost annoyed and pushed him back. "Tell, Mario, what are you doing here at the party? Why aren't you with your girlfriend?"
He smirked. "I have business to take care of."
"What kind of business?" she asked innocently, playing with his hair. Damn, I'm going to take a long bath tonight, she thought in disgust.
He was about to speak when there was a bullet heard through the ballroom. Lily gasped and ran to see what was happening. She stopped when she saw a man that looked like a clown in a purple suit. His green hair looked full of grease and sweat.
"Good evening, you fine ladies and gents," he said. "Hope you're enjoy this lavish party. I know we will," he laughed. The whole crowd of people were being pointed with guns. Lily looked around trying to see if Cynthia and Dave were alright. Her eyes widen when the man walked over to Cynthia and snatched her champagne glass off her hands. "Well aren't you a pretty thing," he said stroking her hair, almost too roughly. Alex got furious and tried to push the man away from her, but he was pulled away by one of the thugs. "See," he said roughly grabbing Cynthia's arm. "I know that whenever there's trouble, Batman will arrive, so let's make some trouble happen," he said pointing a dagger at Cynthia's neck.
"Alright, stop it," said Lily. There was no way this freak was going to kill her best friend or even toy around with her.
"Well, hello, beautiful," he said pushing Cynthia into a nearby Dave's arms. "Aren't you dressed like a goddess," he said circling her. Lily rolled her eyes.
"If you know what's wise, you wouldn't be messing with Batman," she said, glaring at him. Lily made a face when he giggled. What's so freaking funny?
"Got a tongue there, don't you? Come here," he said grabbing her upper arm and slammed her to his chest. "You look scared. Do you wanna know how I got my scars?" he asked, putting the knife on her face, but not enough to slice her skin.
"No," she growled.
He laughed again, but got deadly serious. "Why so SERIOUS?!" he growled, making her jump. He laughed again. "You're too pretty to have that frown on your face. I hate seeing women frown. See my wife was a gambler and then she got deep with the sharks. So, they carved her face up. We had no money for surgeries. And after that she was so sad. I wanted to make her smile again. I wanted to let her know that I don't care about the scars," he said, his voice cracking. "And one day, I stick a razor in my mouth and do this... to myself. So, we could both be happy again. And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves! Now, I see the funny side. Now, I'm always smiling!"
Lily took the time when he loosen his grip and hit him in the gut. He groaned and laughed at the same. "Feisty. I love a fighter," he giggled.
"Then you're gonna love me," said a deep voice. Lily gasped seeing Batman next to her. She got out of the way and watched in shook as Batman fought the thugs along with the Joker, hearing the name by someone who was whispering behind her.
She whimpered when the Joker pulled her by the hair. "Psst, Batsy," he laughed. Batman turned around and saw Lily being manhandled by the Joker.
"Let her go," he rasped.
"Sure, just remove your mask and tell us who you really are," he said in a playful voice going outside where Bruce and Lily was before. Lily gasped as Joker pressed her against the railing, seeing the cars beneath them. "Seems to me that you're Batman's bunny," he whispered in her ear. "So what say you Bats?" he called to him.
"Let her go," he said louder.
"Mm, too bad she was such a pretty little thing," he said. Lily sudden felt being pushed. She screamed as she fell down from the building. She felt arms go around her waist and pulling her on top before being slammed underneath a car. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was underneath Batman.
"Oh goodness," she gulped. "Are you alright?"
Batman gave her a curious look. "I'm fine," he rasped. She smiled a bit and got off him, but unfortunately she fell to the ground feeling dizzy. She moaned a little feeling the stinging pain. She was pulled up by Batman as she fell limp in his arms. My hero, she thought before passing out.
OF COURSE, THAT LINE AND SCENE WASN'T MINE, BUT I TRIED TO CHANGE IT A TINY BIT. THANKS FOR READING AND PLEASE REVIEW!
