-1Chapter 17- Lovers Unite

Thanks for the reviews. As a prize I am going to update way sooner than I have in a long time. Enjoy.

“I guess we have some explaining to do?” Elena says entering the kitchen. “The both of us.”

“Who should start?” Terri says playing with his cereal.

“How do we start?” she responds giving a sad laugh. “How do we explain?”

He nods not knowing what else to say. They sit in silence for ten minutes playing with there cereal not really hungry. Avoiding each others gaze.

“I lied to you.” Elena finally speaks out. “The old man was, is, whatever right. I am there granddaughter. Helena’s daughter. The daughter of a hero and once super villain.”

“Why did you say you weren’t?” he ask looking up at her.

She shrugs.

“I don’t know. I was just afraid. I guess. I mean he will probably lecture me in things about this and I don’t need that. I just need to bring justice to my family.”

“I know what you mean.” Terri says looking down again. “The reason I became Batman was to avenge the people that killed my father.” she looks up at him in surprise. “The man that raise me. He is my real father even though not biologically. Don’t get me wrong I do care for mister Wayne but he will never replace my dad.”

“I know what you mean. As much as I love my mother and father. I never got to know them. Not really. My grandmother raise me. She was my mother and father. But just like my real mother, father and grandfather was taken away, she was too.”

“When you found who is behind this what will you do?” Terri ask quietly.

“I don’t know.” she says barely in a whisper. “Kill them. Stop them from doing this again. What did you do?”

“I wish I can make your decision, love.” she looks at him surprise. “At the end is your decision.”

He then turns red as he realize what he just call her. But she doesn’t make a notion of hearing that.

“So…” she begins biting her bottom lip.

“So…” he repeats looking into her eyes.

She shakes her head and gets up to pace the room. He just looks at his soggy cereal thinking.

“This sure was a surprise.” she finally says. “Never in my life did I think you were Batman. But it does make sense to how attracted I was to the both of you. I have never felt so lost.”

He nods.

“I know what you mean. What was your final decision?”

“You.” she says looking at him. “I was just Catwoman to bring some justice. Once I did she will disappear.”

To that he gives her a look of relief.

“How about you? What was your decision?” she says looking out the window.

He gets up and walks so that they were standing facing each other and then makes her face look up into his eyes.

“You.” he whispers before kissing her passionately.

The sound of a ringing cell phone awakens the inhabitants of the rather large bed in the master bedroom.

The young man moves slowly as to not disturb the young lady that is his body as a bed. Not knowing that she has also awaken.

He answer the phone quietly as she decides to concentrate on the sound of his breath and heart. They were hypnotizing so much she didn’t notice he has hanged up.

“What is wrong?” she ask as she feels his body getting tense. “Who was that?”

“It was…Bruce. He wanted to see if I can get there as soon as possible.”

She sits up and use the pillow to cover her naked body.

He found it funny to think that after seeing each other naked and have made sweet love she is feeling subconscious about her sitting in front of him in all her glory.

He sits up and leans back into the headboard.

“Would you explain to me why you are hiding your beautiful body behind a pillow?”

She blushes and gets her robe and puts it on to cover herself.

“I am a little… you know.” she says waving her hand. “With my scar and stuff.”

“Well I love it.” he says tracing it with his finger over the robe.

He has figure its dimensions and studied it as much as possible. It had made her who she is. That one and the one right above her heart.

“How did you get the other one?” he finally says sitting back.

She looks away.

“I am not sure. I’ve had since I was a baby. Maybe since I was a week old.” she says looking at him.

At that moment it became clear to him. Not only was it her father and mother the ones being chase. It was all of them and for some miraculous intervention her grandmother was able to protect her and raise her. Before her they were found.

“Shouldn’t you be going?” she says standing by the window.

He gets up and puts on his boxers before standing right behind her.

“I will protect you, Elena. Trust me.” he turns her to face him once more.

He sees the tear trail on her face.

“What if they go after you or your family because they couldn’t get me last night. I don’t want to put you or your mom and brother in the way. Even if something happens to that grumpy old man I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.” she buries her face in his chest.

“We’ll think of something.” he kisses the top of her head. “You’ll see but from now one we are together till the end. Understood?”

She looks up at him and nods her head.
