THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS I LOVE THEM ALL AND THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME! I CHANGED BELINDA'S LAST NAME TO JUST ROSE.

onetreefan - I'm adding you're idea of the necklace, but it won't be seen till the next chapter, which I hope I update soon on that LOL.

AnnabelleLee13194 - As, you read this chapter you'll see that I'm putting you in the story. IDK if you got my message, but if you can send me a picture how this character might look like or I'll choose one (I already got a picture, but maybe you'd prefer another one and I'll change it. I have it up in my profile). And also, the name of the girl. OK, thanks!

Dragonsinger13 - I'm so sorry, but Joker's henchwoman has been taken already as you can tell. Please forgive me. But I'm loving that you're loving my story. And your idea is fantastic, but I don't think Bruce is ready to know that she's Lily, but I will put it in this chapter so watch out for that LOL. Bruce will suspect, but nothing more. Like I said guys, it's going to be a long bumpy ride.

stuff and nonsense - I never said Bruce was a chubby chaser. What I was saying was that (and was explained in previous chapters) Bruce saw in Lily what other girls didn't have. She was sweet and kind and beautiful in her own way. That's what made Bruce fall in love with her.

Lily gasped, sitting straight up. She felt the whole room spin so she closed her eyes for a minute. She reopened them and found herself at her house. All she remembered was being saved by Batman and everything after that was black.

"Oh, good. You're awake," said Cynthia coming in with a glass of water. "Here," she said handing her a pill. "I'm sure your head must be spinning right now." Lily took the pill and swallowed it down with the water.

"How long have I been out?" she asked in a raspy voice.

"About nine hours," she replied, checking her watch.

"Nine hours!"

"Yeah, you slept through the entire night," she said.

"How did I get here?" she said realizing that she was at her house.

"Well, Miss Rose," Cynthia started with a sly grin on her face. "Batman was nice enough to be bring you all the way back home. He left a message telling us where you were and can you believe he tucked you in?"

"He did all that?"

"Yep, I don't know why the Derek and his squad are being worked up about him. You can tell that he's a good man. He saves people and even though recently he's been robbing, but he's robbing for the orphanages especially The Lost Lamb Orphanage, you know the one Lily used to volunteer at. Besides, that money is mostly from mobsters and from people who have too much money that they don't even know what to do with it." Cynthia sighed. "But, all those attacks recently..."

"What attacks?" asked Lily, curiously.

"Well that man who crashed the party, the Joker, he's been terrorizing Gotham since about a year ago. Just around when Lily left to London." Lily nodded now understanding everything. She did hear about the attacks he made the day before she left. "The only way he's going to stop is when Batman reveals his true identity. Maybe that's another reason why the police is after him. Oh, and thanks for the save at the party. I was so frighten at what he might do to me."

Lily smiled. "No problem. Um, do you think he works for the mob?" she asked remembering the conversation Mario was having on the phone.

Cynthia shrugged. "They say that, but I honestly think the mob is afraid of him too. He has no remorse on everyone and by the looks of it he was a new sidekick." She passed today's newspaper to Lily.

"Who is she?" she asked pointing at the girl next to the Joker. Whoever took this snap shoot took it just in time before they escaped. The girl looked about Lily's age maybe a bit older. She had fiery red hair by the looks of it, but her face wasn't completely visible.

"No one knows, but she's dangerous if she's working for him."

"Excuse me." Lily shot her head up and saw Derek coming in.

"Mr. Parker," she said getting off of bed. "I'm sorry of my state right now," she said brushing her hand through her hair.

"No, it's fine Miss Rose," he said smiling.

"Uh, I'll leave the two of you alone," said Cynthia. "I'll see you later Belinda."

"Miss Rose..."

"Belinda," she corrected him.

"Belinda, do you know how you got here last night?" he asked writing his questions down on a pad.

"Uh, no. I woke up here after I passed out," she said curiously trying to look what he was writing down.

"And was this the first time since Mr. Wayne's wedding that you've seen Batman?"

"Yes."

"Any special reason why he was so interested in protecting you so much?" he asked.

"He was trying to save my life," she growled.

"Yes, I know. It just seemed strange that after he saved you he took you straight home, don't you think?"

Lily sighed and crossed her arms. "No, Mr. Parker and I would prefer not to answer anymore questions."

Derek nodded. "Just one more. I heard that you were very close to Lily and still talk to her on the phone. I was a close friend of her's. May I ask, how is she?"

Lily's angered washed off quickly. "Yes, I know and she's fine, Mr. Parker. She sends her love," she said smiling.

Derek smiled back. "I'm glad she found a man that treats her right unlike that Wayne," he spat.

"Not many people are fond by this man, are they?"

"He hurt her too much," he sighed. "Well, I best be going on my way."

"Alright, I guess I'll see you around." And then he was gone leaving Lily alone once again.

About two week later

"Damn it!" cried Lily sticking her thumb in her mouth. The hammer had hit her thumb instead of the nail in the wall. She's been working on her new house after the construction workers finished with the more difficult parts of the house. Such as the carpets on some of the rooms, tiles in other, different ceilings, lamps and chandeliers in the right places, the kitchen. All that Lily was missing were the furniture, which she still had to buy. The only piece of furniture she had was a small bed that she's been sleeping on since she's got here.

She was covered in paint, including her hair. She decided that she was going to paint the walls instead by herself. Even though it was a difficult job, what else did she have to do. She was working on the down stairs parlor first. She needed to fix at least the bottom floor, just in case she had people over soon.

Lily sighed as she past a nearby mirror. She needed an urgent shower. Lily jumped when she heard something fall on the floor. It sounded like it was coming from the kitchen. She slowly walked down the hallway with the hammer in her hand.

"Hello?" she called. Nothing. "Hello?" she called again. She heard something move behind her and gasped as two blue eyes stared her back. She dropped her hammer in surprise. "Batman?"

He didn't say anything.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Lilybell Adams," he simply said. He noticed that her hair was a bit messy and she was covered in paint. It actually made her look cute.

Lily got nervous thinking he was talking about herself. How did he find out, she thought.

"Do you know her?" he asked.

Lily sighed in relief. Good, he doesn't know me, she thought. "Y-Yes, I do."

He nodded and walked to the kitchen. Lily followed him and turned on the lights. Her eyes widen when she saw a brief case full of money, Mario's of course, and a sack of toys on the counter. "What is this," she whispered.

"For the orphanage," he rasped. "Lily must have told you that."

She nodded. "I... I have tried to go there myself, but I've been so busy lately," she said referring the the house. He nodded and walked to the window. "No! Wait!" He turned around and walked back to Lily.

"What?"

"I wanted to thank you. For the other night," she said.

Batman just stared at her with no emotions on his face. Lily felt a little uncomfortable, but she got on her toes and kissed Batman on his masked nose. She still remembered how he would kiss Lily on the nose, maybe he'll kiss Belinda like that too. "I know it was silly of me but..."

She was cut off by his lips pressed against her. Lily gasped in surprise, only for him to deepen the kiss even further. She moaned and kissed back holding on to his shoulder. God, he's a great kisser, she thought. She was sadden when his lips pulled away. "No," she protested, trying to kiss him again, but he turned away.

"I must go now," he said. He gave on last look at her and left.

Lily stood in shook as she watched him leave. What have I done? I kissed a strange in a mask. But it was such a nice kiss. Oh, I think I'm falling for him.
