Alice

I was sitting in the penthouse when the elevator ringed: signalling someone was coming up.

Looking back now, I should have grabbed a weapon, I should have noticed it was too early for Bruce to come home. But I suppose you can always say that in hindsight.

but the truth of it was, I sat there on the couch. Waiting to see who it was; and when the clown masked men came up, I was more than surprised.

There were three of them. One came towards me; obviously the leader.

He tried to grab me but I grabbed the lamp off of the corner table and smashed it over his head, managing to knock him unconscious a as well as giving him a electric shock.

Then the other two, came quicker. I had nothing. They grabbed my arms and injected something into my neck. I fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke, I looked around. I was surrounded by oil drums. Then I noticed the phone. "HELLO, IS THERE ANYONE THERE?"

"ALICE!" Rachel cried

"Its gonna be alright." I soothed her "don't panic. We need to get out of here."

"Alice they told me...they told me that only two of us are going to survive; and that their gonna let our friends choose."

That's when a groaning came through the phone and then Harvey's voice.

"Rachel... Alice"

"Harvey" Rachel cried "oh, Harvey thank God. Are you okay?"

"I'm in a warehouse, they've got me wired to oil drums."

"We are too- someone going to die. We need to get out of here. Try and find something sharp to cut the rope." I instructed

I kicked my legs around trying to break the chair legs.

I was tuning out their conversation, trying to give them privacy.

I started bouncing up and down on the chair; but the legs wouldn't snap.

My thoughts at the time, weren't sheer panic, they were actually along the lines of:

' I'm going to be writing these chair manufactures a strongly worded letter'

Then all of a sudden the door busted open to reveal Bruce dressed as Batman.

"Rachel, Harvey is anyone there yet?" I asked as Bruce untied my arms and legs

"No, why are you?"

"Br- Batman is here" I corrected

"Oh Thankgod. Your safe!" Rachel cried
"Go!"

Bruce picked me up and we ran down the stairs.

We got out just as the bomb went off, and we were sent flying.

Tears streamed down my face, Either my best friend or her boyfriend was dead.

The Joker will pay.

Sorry it's so short.

I love writing fluff for Bruce and Alice. But as they say 'Shit is about to get real'

;D Much Love

I might update either tonight or tomorrow, Depending how busy I am.
