THIS IS A FANIC! ALL PROPERTIES BELONG TO DC
Bruce's car
Both Bruce and Harley are in the car, driving to their destination. Harley can tell that Bruce is using this car as a font, since it's too flashy for his taste. If Bruce had it his way, he would of brought something less flashy than a Lamborghini.
Harley looks outside of the car in excitement "So! Where we going tonight?"
Bruce takes his right hand off the wheel and goes inside he coat pocket and takes out two Theatre tickets.
Harley looks at them in amazement "You're kidding!" She squeaked as she takes the tickets off Bruce in excitement.
Bruce smiles at her "Two tickets to see Les Miserables. It's showing at Gotham Theatre and I know how much you wanted to go there."
Harley shrieks in excitement like she won a prize. She hugs herself to calm down but her voice is still shrieking "Oh, my gosh! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!"
Bruce lifts his head up, proud of his achievement "That's not all. Got us a table at a restaurant a few blocks away."
Harley's mouth widens "You serious? Oh my god!"
Bruce looks at her, the woman that he fell in love. 'And I have one more gift for you…'
Bludhaven city
Nightwing is on top of the city buildings. Looking at the city he swore to protect. Despite that is not big as Gotham, the streets is just as dangerous. Civilians walking around, not a care in the world. Falling in love, having children and fulfilling the life they have. Unknown to them, there is danger in every corner in every street. No one knows this as much as Nightwing-who grew up in Gotham under Batman's guidance.
He looks down at the city, seeing everyone's spending their normal day lives. Nightwing suddenly gets a call from his earpiece.
"Nightwing." He said as he answers the call.
"Dick. It's Barbara."
Nightwing looks up in the sky "Barbs. How's my favourite girl."
Barbara sighs "Not good Dick. Something strange is going on."
Nightwing smirks "At Gotham? No way." He said sarcastically.
"I'm being serious Dick. Dads been acting strangely for a whole year. I thought it has something to do with his job, like it was getting to him at first but he's just…"
There was a pause. It's like Barbara was trying to think of a word but can't seem to say it.
"…just?" Ask Nightwing, trying to get an answer from her.
"I don't know. He's just more on edge ever since the Joker. He keeps meeting some woman name Susan Queens."
Nightwing shrugs "So? He might have a new girlfriend. It has been a while for him."
"What you mean been a while?" Barbara said sternly.
Nightwing smiles "Well it could be. I mean how old are you again?"
"I'm being serious Dick!"
Nightwing rolls his eyes "Fine! I'll check it out when I get back to Gotham. Promise." Nightwing looks down the street a street not far from him for one last time and sees a woman being chased by a hooded person "Sorry Barbara. Gotta go, job to do."
He hangs up and jumps off the building.
Outside Gotham Theatre
Both Harley and Bruce walks out of the Theatre, walking to the restaurant.
"Oh! That was amazing! It's loads better than the film. The set was beautiful. The actors had loads of energy that it brought the play to life. And the ending? Oh my gosh!" Harley said, in excitement.
Bruce smiles at the blonde "Enjoyed it then?"
The blond shrugs "I mean-it was alright I guess…" she joked "But seriously it was amazing! Thank you so much Bruce."
Bruce wraps his arms over Harley "It's not a problem Harley. But I'm glad you enjoyed the play."
"How did you get the tickets Bruce? I mean I looked up the website and it was all booked up." Harley asked curiously.
Bruce shrugs "I pulled a few strings. Called a few friends. Then I got us two tickets."
The blonde hugs her boyfriend "Again. Thank you."
The two reached to the restaurant. The building was white and has a collections of silver diamonds on the window ledges. The building is huge and has a sign on top of the doorway 'Nouveau Débuts'.
Harley looks at the place "Wow. This looks beautiful."
Bruce takes her hand "To new beginnings."
Harley looks at Bruce's eyes and smiled. Those words written above the door and hearing it from Bruce just made her tingle a little. Harley's knows that Bruce is up to something. she learned about people's body language from Bruce's work in the cave and observed his body movement. Bruce's left fingers were rubbing his thumb but the rest of his body seemed normal. 'Is he nervous?' She asked herself.
Bruce smiles and takes her to the restaurant.
Gotham alleyway
Mr Silver, Sarah Quinzel and his two body guards are waiting in the dark. Mr Silver rubs his hands together and smiles "For a group called the League of Assassins, they sure take their time." He then takes a look up to the fire escape "But I suppose you were just waiting to surprise me, eh Miss Al Ghul?"
Talia Al Ghul is looking down from the fire escape above Mr Silver, with two of her League of Assassins guards. The three jumped down to Mr Silver level.
Talia pulls out a bottle from her pocket "Here's the file from the Lazarus Pit." She gives it to Mr Silver as he takes it from her, grinning.
"This is the key to Ras Al Ghul immortality?" He said playfully, observing the liquid inside the bottle "Interesting. One little drop…"
Talia looks at Mr Silvers guards "So we're done?" She asks nervously.
Mr Silver doesn't answer. He stares at the bottle, like a new toy to his collection.
"Over 600 years. Living through life. One drop. Seeing the world pass him by. Afraid of death yet killed so many lives." Mr Silver lowers the bottle down to his side and takes the step forward to Talia's personal space "You must feel so small to him…"
Talia bites her tongue, trying to stop herself from saying anything to him.
Mr Silver turns to Sarah "Mrs Quinzel?"
Sarah takes a step forward and takes the bottle from Mr Silver and places it in her coat pocket. Talia looks at Sarah for a moment, curious about the woman in front of her.
"I will be leaving now." Mr Silver says to Talia, as he leaves the alley and the Assassins alone in the dark, while his guards and Sarah followed up behind him.
GCPD Gordon's office
Jim is on his desk, holding a picture of Barbara. He tries to keep it from her about everything that's happening to protect her. To keep her safe. Jim sold his sole to the devil and he's just as dangerous as he appears.
Jim picks up his scotch and downs it. He's been drinking much for this past year. Jim made a vow to lean up the streets of Gotham and put an end of corruption in the police department. But he has become corrupted. Jim can't escape if he wanted to. Everything is getting too much.
In Nouveau Débuts restaurant
Bruce and Harley both laughed as they drink their champaign. Having a wonderful time together. If Harley told herself 10 years ago that she would fall in love with Batman, she would laughed in her face. But here she is. Drinking with the Batman. Eating with the billionaire.
For Bruce, this is perfect. Enjoying seeing her laugh. Everything is just what he pictured it. Bruce has everything planned and for the first time, he is scared. Bruce has everything to say to her, but he hopes that he don't mess it up.
Bruce holds Harley's hand and smiles at her. He has it. He knows what to say now. Bruce keeps forgetting on what to say but now he knows. It's like poetry.
"Harley. There's something I wanted to say to you." Bruce said sternly.
Harley looks at Bruce, curious on what he has to say.
"I've been on my own for my whole life. I usually prefer it to be honest. The people that I brought in to my life all left to start their own lives. I thought that was best. I thought I was destined to be alone. But then you came to my office. Just as beautiful as ever. Even more beautiful now. You've opened my heart." Bruce said, like he is telling a story.
Harley looks at Bruce, smiling at him "You've opened mine Bruce." She said.
Bruce tightens his grip on her hand like he is hoping not to scare her off "That's the thing. We both opened our hearts to each other. We both made each other better. And I can't picture my life without you."
Harley tilts her head "What're you saying?"
Bruce lets go of Harley's hand. He gets off the table and kneels down by Harley's side. Bruce pulls out a box and lifts it to her, revealing a ring. Harley covers her mouth, speechless.
"This was my mothers. I kept it. And I want you to have it. Harleen Sarah Quinzel. Will you do me an honour, on being mine forever. Will you marry me."
Everyone in the restaurant look at the two. Seeing the situation, Harley's eyes is tearing. Tears of joy.
Harley nods, trying to speak "Y-yes…" Bruce's face lit up "Yes of course!" She shouted.
Everyone cheered as Harley hugs Bruce tightly. Bruce returns the hug, ready to start a new chapter in their lives.
Harley pulls away from Bruce and wears the ring "Oh, my god it's beautiful Bruce."
"Just like you." Bruce said.
Harley looks at Bruce in the eyes, seeing the future that they both dreamed off.
Outside the restaurant
Sarah sees Bruce and Harley having dinner outside the window. This was the first time Sarah saw Harley and Bruce together. She usually sees Harley on her own either at work or walking to her apartment. Sarah had no intention on seeing Bruce, but why would she? According to Mr Silver, Bruce Wayne is the enemy.
Sarah pulls out a cigarette and lits it, inhaling the tobacco. Remembering the day Harley was born into the world and seeing her open her eyes for the first time.
Sarah inhales one more time 'Stephan. Our beautiful princess is all grown up.'
Sarah feels regret for not being there during her childhood or teenage years. To see Harley's graduation or to hold her when she cried. Sarah felt like she let Harley down the moment she came back from the dead…
FLASHBACK…
In a mysterious hospital room 30 years ago
Sarah eyes widen open in a gasp of breath. Fear into her eyes and adrenaline in her veins. Everything in the room is different than in her hospital bed. Sarah rushes off the bed in shock, gagging on the ground with stomach pain. All the memories of the life she had flashed before her eyes. The day Sarah met Stephan or the day she gave birth to Harley. Sarah's memories keeps flashing and flashing, while hearing voices.
"I do." Said one.
"Look Mommy I'm flying." Said another.
"We finally did it…" said the third.
sarah isn't sure whose saying what in her memories. It's getting too much. Gaining her strenght, Sarah runs to the door, trying to unlock it, until Mr Silver comes in, looking at the woman.
"Ah! Mrs Quinzel, glad you finally awake." He said, politely.
The woman takes a step back, staring at the stranger. "Who are you?" She said.
"My names Mr silver. I run this whole building." He said as Mr Silver wiggles his finger around the room.
Sarah looks at the man, curiously "I-I thought… I was at but I should…"
"Died?" Mr Silver said as he grins "Mrs Quinzel, you never died. My company cured you of your cancer. You're healthy as I am."
Sarah's eyes widened "Cured me?" She repeated.
Mr Silver nods "My company is good at curing every decease on Earth. Death? Bit of a struggle. But I promise to solve that as well. It is part of my war to help the needed."
Sarah, still unsure what is going on "A war? What are you talking about?" She asks nervously. Unknown to her, the lights in the room flashes and the room shakes.
Mr Silver smiles at the whole room "Project 5 is complete. Marvoulous." He turns to Sarah "Mrs Quinzel I am afraid you need to calm down. I will explain everything soon enough."
Sarah looks at the man, feeling nervous to be near him. The way the man talks and the way he looks at the room like he is some kind of God. No matter what happens, Sarah can't be anywhere near him.
Mr Silver looks at Sarah like she's prey "Mrs Quinzel, please don't disobey me. People have done that before and they've regretted it ever since. Now I am trying to help you…" He pulls out his hand "Whatever is happening to you. You must know that it's a gift. Because everything that's happened to you. Has happened to me."
Sarah slowly looks at his hand "Why me?" She whispers.
Mr Silver looks at her "Well. Before you were married of course. You were Amanda Waller's top agents, correct?"
Sarah's eyes widened 'How did he know that? I resigned to start a normal life with Stephan. How can he know that?'
Mr Silver notices her fear, and smiles at her like a wolf and a chicken. "Married to Stephan Quinzel. Daughter Harleen Quinzel. I'm guessing I'm right?"
Sarah falls to the ground shaking, fear struck her like thunder. The whole room shakes and the all the electrics explode across the room. Mr Silver just stands there, unfazed about the room. The people outside is screaming but the stranger just looks at her smiling. He kneels down to her level as the whole room shakes like an earthquake.
"Welcome to the Eye, Mrs Quinzel."
END FLASHBACK
Sarah, still looking at her little girl who is jumping in excitement about getting married to the Batman. It broke her heart to be hiding out like this. Not to tell her daughter that she is fine but to also be a part of a fight against Batman, her daughters fiance.
sarah drops to cigarette on the floor and walks away, no longer baring the pain of seeing her daughter.
Few hours later in Bruce's car
Bruce and Harley both got in the car, and Harley uses a FaceTime call to Alfred. The old man answers with the smile on his face.
"Ah. Miss Harley. How may I help you?" He said, pretending to sound innocent.
bruce smirks "She knows Alfred." He said.
Harley winks at the old man "You shouldn't keep secrets as huge as this Alf, you know that?"
Alfred chuckles "Ah ha I'm sorry Miss Harley. But I did promise to keep the proposal a secret." He looks at the two "I am so happy for the two of you."
Harley looks at Bruce, as he turns to engine on. She then turns to Alfred "Thanks Alf. We love you. See you at the mansion, the three of us can celebrate."
Alfred nods at her "See you soon Miss Quinzel. I have already placed the champaign at the mansion."
Bruce smiles at his father-figure "See you later Alfred."
"See you soon Master Wayne." Alfred hangs up, leaving the two in the car.
"I can't believe it." Harley said as she looks at her ring "I can't believe it! I am the luckiest woman in the world."
Bruce smiles at his fiancé "And I am the luckiest man alive. Because I get to spend the rest of my life with a beautiful woman I could wish for."
The blonde looks at Bruce, seeing the man she absolutely adores.
Everything is perfect for the couple. Everything is just how it should be.
Bruce has a beautiful, funny, smart and hardworking woman who changed his life for the better. Harley had a handsome, strongwilled, motivated and bravest man she could ask for.
the two started out as enemies; later Bruce saved Harley's life, the two fell in love and they both saved each other from the darkness that's been with them for a long time. The two are now taking the biggest steps of their lives.
