Chapter 19
(Bruce's POV)
Bruce heard three words when he woke up: "Hello my Love…" he knew whose voice it was: "Hello Talia…" he groaned
"So…you do remember me? I had a feeling you forgot about me." Talia cooed
"I'd never forget…" Bruce said while adjusting to the contrast of light and dark
"Oh you're so sweet." Talia smiled as she wrapped her arms around Bruce's neck
"The daughter of a mass murdering eco-terrorist with a Lazarus Pit induced mind!" Bruce continued
"Oh Bruce…can we not talk about my father when we are together?" she said while tracing his nose with her fore finger.
"Together…you call: invading my home, assaulting my friends and family, tying me up and dragging me to the derelict warehouses on Gotham's Outskirts being together?" Bruce answered
"So you know where we are…I shouldn't be so surprised…you are the world's greatestdetective. How did you figure it out?" Talia said trying not to be so surprised but she really was impressed
"The time you knocked me out I calculated any and all possible locations you might have me hidden away…there were only three: The Glorious Crown hotel too public, The old Gotham Cathedral but that's too exposed…" Bruce listed off
"And here…" Talia finished Bruce's list "Truly you are the world's greatest…" Talia moved into a kiss but Bruce turned away as he was in love with Harley. "So it's true…"
"What's true?" Bruce tried to feign ignorance
"The Dark Knight has someone he loves…a certain girl…with black hair and blue eyes…Harleen Quinzel per chance?" Talia's voice turned cold and Bruce became defensive.
"Don't you hurt her!" Bruce yelled
"Bruce…I have no intention of hurting her…" Talia whispered in Bruce's ear, she then plunged a syringe into Bruce's neck, as he groaned in pain she whispered again "…yet!"
Bruce's vision faded to a haze, his vision became fuzzy, he felt the restraints being released and he was being let up "What…what did…you do?" his voice was slowing down into a drone like state
"*hush* Bruce…" Talia spoke, as Bruce gazed upon her he didn't see Talia he saw Harley! "It's going to be alright…" Talia finished in a sultry voice but Bruce heard Harley's voice. "Ensure that we're not disturbed." She spoke to her guards
"Yes Mistress." An assassin spoke
"Come love…I'll take care of you." Talia spoke leading Bruce to a secluded room
(Harleen's POV)
*around the same time*
Ivy and Barbara were brought up to speed on the situation, Barbara saw to the boy's wounds as Ivy saw to Sonia, she was still getting over the initial shock of finding her estranged father.
"So…Miss Sonia…your mistress is worth all of us combined and then some?" Ivy said holding back her anger
"Yes…that is…that is correct." Sonia was still in shock
"Well then…I hope you don't mind my…wiles…" Ivy said seductively.
"What do…do you…mean…wiles…" Sonia fell into a hypnotised trance
"Now…little flower…where is your mistress?" Ivy questioned, holding her fingers under Sonia's chin, bending forwards.
"I say…is this really ethical? I mean she is my daughter after all!" Alfred protested
"You can say that again Al…I don't know whether to be aroused or distraught!" Bill said in semi-disgust and arousal
"Uh…" Tim and Dick said drooling and staring into space.
"Ivy, turn our pheromones down? You're ruining Tim and Dick's mind!" Barbara asked
"But I've just isolated it to her!" Ivy explained
"So why…?" Harley asked
"Because Ivy's underpants are showing!" Dick answered
Ivy pulled her skirt down concealing her floral design. "You could've said something!"
"Uh…" Tim continued
"Oh leave him! We'll fix him later." Bill shouted "Where is Bruce?" Bill commanded
"He is on…the outskirts…of Gotham…the derelict warehouses…he's in Talia's basement." Sonia spoke in a daze.
"That's over two hours away, even with clear traffic!" Dick explained "Bill is the tech and armour ready?"
"Tech yes, armour no." Bill answered "You'll have to go on your own with your originals. I'll stay here with Ivy and Alfred and keep these two chuckle-brains under control."
"What do you mean two? What about Ninja-boy over there?" Dick pointed to the Rogue.
"He saved us from Grundy and he fought off twelve assassins. He's earned my trust." Bill said untying him, the Rogue thanked by bowing and rubbing his wrists. "Besides does anyone know how to fly stick?" Bill asked
"Dick can, why?" Barbara said with Bill looking at the Bat-Copter "Ah…" Barbara said coming to a realisation
"Do you think Bruce mind?" Dick asked
"As long as you rescue him, I don't think it matters." Bill replied
"You're not coming with us?" Harley asked
"I'm useless against the assassins; I got knocked out twice during the fight. It'd be more productive if you go and get Bruce."
Dick and Harley donned their armour; the Rogue looked straight at the assassin with dead eyes. Alfred saw the Rogue and asked "Excuse me; could you please stop staring at her?" the Rogue looked straight at Alfred, his eyes were wraith like, piercing blue but fell black with death; they saw: pain…horror…death…fire…anger…he then sat up and looked to the outside of the Bat-Cave, folding his arms. Alfred saw such eyes before… "Master Bruce?" he whispered to himself
"Let's get going! Bill try and get Tim back to normal, Ivy continue the interrogation." Harley ordered
"You got it Harl. Go get your man back!" Ivy smiled
Nightwing, Bat-Shard and the Rogue entered the Bat-Copter and flew off to the derelict warehouses; more than two hours by car or motorbike, about thirty minutes in the Bat-copter. Dick contacted Barbara and Ivy via the Bat-Caller "Oracle, any luck getting info from our Guest? And how's Tim?"
Barbara replied "She's reviled that she was orphaned by the age of eight, raised by the League by the age of nine and made Talia's personal guard by the age of twenty seven. Tim well…"
Bill's voice could be heard "Tim…wakey, wakey! This is you're nine o clock alarm call wonder boy Robin! I've got a new videogame for you when you wake up, Rockin' Robin! He's totally out of it! I doubt we'll get even a voom out of him, even if we put four thousand volts through him."
"Don't you hurt Tim, Bill! If you do…!" Bat-Shard threatened
"Bat-Shard, I haven't hurt him…he's more out of it than he was five minutes ago. I think he's still thinking of Ivy's undergarments…I know I am!" Bill joked
"Bill!" Ivy shouted
"Sorry!" Bill apologised
"Anyway, Sonia said it's the furthest one away from Gotham. You'll probably be walking into a trap so stay on your guard." Barbara explained
"Right, we'll see you later…we'll bring Bruce back." Nightwing said
"Over and out." Barbara said disconnecting the line
Bat-Shard looked down and thought of Bruce 'I'm coming Bruce…just hold on. I promise.'
The Rogue continued to look at Bat-Shard, he placed his gloved hand on her shoulder and as she looked his eyes communicated with hers; he nodded as to know, she wanted Bruce back and he was willing to help. Nightwing spoke "Hey what do you get out of this? I guess we ought to thank you for helping us back at the cave…but what do you get out of it?" the Rogue didn't answer but he pulled out his picture of Ra's Al Ghul and handed it to Bat-Shard, he took out his list of people who he searched and crossed off another name then returned it to his pocket.
"Nightwing…he's after…someone called: Rashe Al Ghoul? Who's that?" Bat-Shard asked
"Ra's Al Ghul? You're after him?! You're crazy!" Night wing responded "Ra's is Talia's father; leader of the League of Assassins. He's an eco-terrorist, his goal is to "cleanse" the earth of its filth and allow it to start again and the potential Ground Zero for this filth is: Gotham!" Nightwing explained The Rogue nodded to the first comment and kept his resolve.
Bat-Shard couldn't believe what Nightwing just said…sure Bruce told her they were dangerous…but The Joker was dangerous…but she never knew the level of destruction these people would go to for cleansing the earth…Ivy was a former eco-terrorist for plant-life, but to go as far as destroying Gotham as Ground Zero…they needed to get Bruce as soon as possible.
They approached a quarter-mile outside the warehouses as to not attract suspicion, Nightwing and Bat-Shard used their grapple hooks and flew the rest of the way, the Rogue had his own way of getting across.
They approached the warehouse furthest from Gotham; no guards, no patrol, no nothing. They entered through the door, there they saw a figure sitting in a chair; its arms slumped past the arms of the chair while its legs.
"Oh God, Bruce!" Bat-Shard said running to his body.
(Talia's POV)
*Before the arrival of the Bat-Family*
Talia led Bruce to a bed spread that covered up to three metres in diameter, surrounding it were: soft candle lights and curtains. On the spread there were pillows to cushion the hard cold ground, and a velvet quilt that was silk to the touch. "Now my love…if you really love Harley…prove it. Show me what she means to you." Talia said seductively with a twinge of malice.
"Harley…" Bruce did what he was told and carefully placed his lips upon Talia's lips, each time his continued she could feel his carefulness. As he went down Talia's clothes he softly removed her garments and held her close.
'Is this what he finds in that Quinzel woman? Such gentleness? This kindness?' Talia thought as she let out a groan of pleasure from being held in Bruce's hands. 'The drug must be too strong, if he's this careful with me…or is he doing this for her?' as Bruce continued down Talia's body he held one of her breasts and caressed it while nuzzling Talia's neck. Talia wrapped her arms around Bruce's neck as she made the intoxicated Bruce continue.
"Harley…Harley…"Bruce whispered still thinking of his girlfriend Talia looked straight into his eyes and lied to him.
"I'm here my love…just lie down now. You've taken care of me…now I'll take care of you…" Talia said laying him on the spread as she removed his clothing exposing his chiselled physique. As she saw Bruce laying there she knew that she could hurt Harley and Bruce more this way than any fight, she continued to stimulate Bruce causing his member to become erect. "Now…this won't hurt…much…my love." As she pressed down onto Bruce, he entered her. The force itself made Talia feel warm inside as she moved to continue the pleasure she thought 'That whore has probably done this a thousand times with Bruce, she's probably sitting with a child in her right now!' she saw Bruce whisper something but couldn't hear it. "What is it Bruce?" she asked
"I…I'm sorry, it hurts…but I promise…I'll stop if…if you want." He spoke gasping from the numbed pleasure, Talia realised something there
'She's…a virgin? But…Bruce…he's always…never mind, he's mine! He's always mine!' Talia thought moving faster with Bruce still inside her she clawed at his back from the force of him being inside of her "Bruce…Bruce. I'm coming!" as she dug into Bruce's back with her nails.
"Ah! Ha…Harley!" Bruce called for the woman he loved in pain from the grip Talia had over him; finally he ejaculated inside of the woman he once dated, who now was the woman who raped him. He fell unconscious and would remember nothing of this encounter.
Talia fell on top of him in and pulled herself off from her victim; she combed back her hair with her fingers, she went over to her clothes and wore them again composing herself then calling her guard. As they appeared she ordered them to dress Bruce again. "Of course Mistress." The guard re-dressed the sleeping Dark Knight and placed him in the chair where he was originally.
Talia walked over to Bruce and placed her lips upon Bruce's, as she released she whispered "This is the proof that you are mine! Not that Quinzel girl, not that Cat girl, Mine! Our legacy will be a great one, the League will have a Bat as its Head, whether you or the one that grows in my belly." She said dropping his unconscious head down softly.
"Mistress our scouts have seen Nightwing and Bat-Shard and the Rogue assassin, we must leave!" An assassin spoke
"Until we meet again my love." Talia spoke as they left Bruce alone as they disappeared
(Harleen's POV)
""Oh God, Bruce!" Bat-Shard said running to his body. She examined his body and felt a pulse "He's alive!" Bat-Shard grabbed Bruce's shoulder while Nightwing grabbed the other one
"Let's get him back to the Bat-Copter. Hey where are you going?" Nightwing asked the Rogue assassin who was searching for anyone who maybe still around. "Get back here and help us!"
The Rogue looked at the others then shook his head. He used his speed to find the assassins. "You sneak! Damn it! Come on, Harley!"
"Why would he go after coming this far? It doesn't matter…we have to get Bruce home!" Bat-Shard said dragging Bruce to the doors.
Back at the Bat-Copter, Dick manned the controls and programmed it back home, Harley stayed with Bruce holding his hand she wanted to tell him that he was right and she was sorry. "Don't worry Harley, he'll be fine when we get back."
"I hope so Dick…what did she do to him?" Harley wondered.
They arrived back at the Bat-Cave; the captured Assassin Sonia was talking to Alfred about Maria LaBelle catching up like a long lost family. Tim was still transfixed because of the sight of Poison Ivy's floral undergarments. Barbara and Ivy were finding out what drug was flowing in Bruce's system.
"You still can't get Tim out of this daze?" Dick asked
"No…I've tried everything: the Dead parrot wake up call, telling him I've got his favourite snacks…all that." Bill explained
"Have you tried this? Tim, I've saved over your games!" Dick called out
"You dick, Dick!" Tim yelled "Err…what happened? The last thing I remember was the assassins then…then…" Tim started then trailed off looking at Ivy
"Tim, focus!" Dick snapped his fingers in front of Tim's face. "You've been out of it for the last hour! We captured this assassin, Bruce got kidnapped and the Rogue assassin who helped us ditched us to find the assassins who took Bruce!" Dick explained
"The Rogue rabbited? Damn it!" Bill exclaimed "why?"
"He's after Ra's! He showed us a picture of him when we were going after Bruce." Dick explained
"Wait…was this guy wearing a full face mask with a hooded cloak? And a broken bat symbol on his chest?" Tim asked rubbing his eyes
"Yeah…why?" Dick asked
"Because he's the same assassin who beat Grundy; I couldn't imagine him staying for long especially if he's after Ra's…how's Bruce?" Tim explained then asked on Bruce's health
"He's still out of it. I hope he wakes soon." Harley said holding his hand.
To be continued
I hope you've enjoyed reading this chapter as I have writing it.
Please leave reviews for these stories they really help.
And thank you to all the people who have reviewed and followed my story thus far.
The next chapter coming up soon.
Thank you
Additional notes: I profusely apologise for the scene involving Talia and Bruce. In my research I discovered the storyline and thought I would further the plot between Bruce and his former love interests and how they would get revenge on them or how they would react on the subject.
I know the seriousness of the subject in the Talia-X-Bruce scene; it is a serious and delicate subject that has been touched upon in DC comics in the past and present. But please understand that comics and works of fiction have dark scenes within them to bring depth to stories and characters.
For information on the subject go onto DC Wikia and type in: Rape; there are several characters that have been used on this subject during their history in comics. I also know that the section involving Batman has had a retcon (Retroactive Continuity) but I found it an interesting subject to include in the story. For information on retcon look for its definition in Google.
Again I apologise for the content within this chapter.
Yours Respectfully
