Chapter 13 unlucky in love
Bruce Wayne looked at the man in the mirror.
His face was young again , his muscle tone back and every portion of his body seemed to echo warrior.
In the absence of the god of war her second will assume a temporary partnership.
Martha's figure was outlined in the shower her figure lured him in and made him want to go back.
No time for seconds he thought , no time for falling for somebody when they could just die or walk away.
Bruce looked at the reflection in the mirror.
He could hear the whisper in his dreams.
“Champion , Will you be my champion?”
He woke up to screams but he was amazed he feared nothing but that one thing. Commitment was his deepest fear.
This dark figure in the shower spooked him more then anything.
So much like himself so much the warrior and so little a love for words her actions spoke for her.
“Will you be my champion?” Her words echoed in his mind , her words haunted his dreams.
Bruce Wayne never wanted to keep somebody safe so much in all his life.
She went out to protect the city every night with him or without him and she was the light in any shadow she burned the fear out of him.
The hounds found them three days ago and they were not dogs or wolves but the champions of old the minions of an angry powerful god.
They broke down the gate , they rushed up the drive and when they were at the door and crashed open the large double faced manor doors she whispered the words again.
“Will you be my champion”
“Yes” , he replied in a whisper only heard by the angels , only heard by the beings that give the powers of the one and only protector of a half god.
Had he known the results that would come of such an answer he may not have said yes.
When the power went out and all his staff stopped moving and they shut themselves up in safe zones.
Bruce could see them in the dark , he could hear them all throughout the manor.
When one of the dark minions hit him he simply looked at him and countered blow for blow.
She was unaware she still slept in the huge king size bed , her soul reaching out her being trying to find a protector and she found one in Bruce Wayne. She found him and for once in all his life he was happy.
He smiled in the dark passageway and the smile scared the hounds.
They had thought the human would scare at the sight of them. They were wrong , they were very very wrong.
They had to regenerate in the afterworld and Bruce and Martha went on a vacation traveling around the globe. He used an excuse about business and getting back in the game. He told people he was his grandson but they truly did not care just so somebody kept them in gossip and money was good.
The truth was he wanted to get to know this soul whom brought him back , this soul whom on one level made him her champion , on another level had no idea she had the power to do so.
She fell for him and the third day out and over many months of fighting side by side.
He married Martha Kent.
So he stands in the Mirror looking at himself and he worries what ever his powers be it faster or stronger or sight that can see the dead.
They will never be enough to keep the people he loves safe.
He tells himself to put the past back in the grave for he spent one lifetime alone and will not do so again.
Never again will he let the world live life and he simply watch it.
So two shadows become one and the world goes on.
Bruce and Martha Wayne.
Both Unlucky in Love but two people can do better then one.
