Do not own Batman, Bane, etc. I do own character Kali Blake.
A quick note. I feel silly not posting this sooner. As some of you hae figured out, this is my own twist on Bane's story, so I apologize for any confusion. Thank you everyone for the reviews!

Bane awoke to a strange sound, a whining moan that sent a chill down his spine. He looked over to Kali, to find her trembling slightly. Random violent twitches shook her body. Whimpers and moans escaped her lips as she would flinch and struggle against some unseen thing.
"Kali... Kali!" Bane hissed, but she only groaned louder.
He got up and moved to wake her, but suddenly she let out a scream, shrill and terrifying, tearing at the silence and echoing throughout the caves. That was not good. Bane grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her roughly, trying to silence her. Her eyes flew open as a fist came up, smashing into the side of his face. She continued only a second further to struggle against him before she froze, staring at him.
"I'm sorry." She murmured, breathing hard.
He let go of her and quickly moved to the entrance of the cave. Night was just ending. He looked over the woods, watching for movement, for any sign that her screams had attracted those searching for him. She came up beside him quietly, and he could hear her heart pounding with fear.
"We need to leave. You need medical attention and I don't care for this place." Bane stated, and went back inside.

The girl stood at the edge of the cave, looking down the rock wall uncertainly. The sun was just beginning to rise, a faint golden glow touching everything. Bane wondered how she made it up here, and how one Earth she was going to get down. He knew what the only safe option was, so he gave her his pack, which now held the two canteens full of water.
He carefully moved over the ledge, getting a good grip on the frozen rock. She climbed down beside him, and then reluctantly got onto his back. She'd tried arguing with him about it earlier, to which he had responded he would throw her down if he had to. She clung carefully to him, but she was so light he barely felt a difference. Swiftly he climbed down, and they walked back to where the crash had been, Bane searching for enemies the whole time. There, he found the car had been covered in snow, along with all signs of the crash, and it had not been discovered. Hiding in a cave all this time for nothing. He easily stripped the body of the driver, and handed the clothes to Kali. She looked at them with a mix of disgust and disbelief.
"You have to put them on to blend in, or we won't make it very far." Bane stated.
The clothes were big enough that they fit over the ones she already wore, and she happily put the shoes on the cover her battered feet. They climbed up the embankment onto the road, and didn't travel far before a large truck came their way. Bane had pulled up the collar of his coat, and tied a scrap of cloth around his face to hide the mask. The driver stopped and babbled at them in Russian. Bane tried, but Russian was difficult for him, mostly due to the mask. The driver became frustrated and motioned quickly for them to get in. They rode to the nearest town, and rented a room at a small, sketchy looking hotel.

Bane insisted Kali shower and again try to clean her wounds as much as possible, and while she was doing so he quickly removed the mask, and drank and ate until he heard the water turn off. He quickly put it back on, and soon after she was out, and seemed much happier.
"I will never take a shower for granted again." She said, and dropped onto the bed with a sigh.
Bane looked over the pamphlets left in the room, and wrote down the locations of the bank, of a clothing shop, and a traveling agent to get them out of Russia fast. He then took his own shower. He had never liked warm showers, after becoming so used to the icy water they had used in the pit, yet he felt a coldness come over him and turned the water to hot. After, they walked to the bank, where he took out a large sum of cash from his private account. They bought enough clothes for three days of travel, and then went to the travel agency. They would leave that night, and he could send the girl home and out of his life. He felt nerve wracked from being stuck with her, even if it had been only a few days. As they walked back towards the hotel, they passed a bakery and he heard Kali's stomach growl viciously, even though she was a few feet from him. He felt selfish for realizing she probably hadn't had anything to eat in over a week, while he had his tiny pouches. He motioned for her to go in and pick something, handing her some cash.
"Thank you." She said with a grateful smile.
As he stood waiting, he realized some part of him enjoyed making her smile. He cringed. This girl was growing on him, and the longer she was around the worse it would get. She came out with a paper bag, and once back at the hotel she pulled out two bagels, some small danishes, and two bottles of chocolate milk. She separated them into two parts on the small coffee table, and then quickly devoured hers. She looked up at him halfway through her bagel, and raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you going to eat?" She asked.
He nearly laughed. "No, I'm not. I don't eat stuff like that."
Her eyes went down to his mask a moment, and then back to the rest of her bagel, which she finished quickly.
"Is it because your mask doesn't come off?" She asked curiously.
He blinked, not expecting her to ever question the mask.
"It comes off. I just don't eat those kinds of things."
She looked at him then, clear that she wanted to know more, but she did not ask. Instead, she cleaned up the crumbs she left, put the other half of the food back in the paper bag, and took her bag of clothes into the bathroom to change. Just a few more hours, and they would be in the United States, and she would be gone.

You'll miss her.
