"They'll just leave you like this again." Bruce says, knelt down at your side with his gloved hand cupping the fresh cuts on your cheek. Despite the suit being on, he feels exposed. Simply because, you know who is beneath that vigilante shtick of his. "You know that they will."

Will Bruce ever fall for someone other than the enemy? He did once--and by luck it happened to be you. But now, all that progress was thrown out the window. With it the version of you he thought he knew like the back of his hand.

Now you're dressed in some silly suit, parading around with fools like Harley and Bane. Not the sweet receptionist who worked at Wayne Enterprises. Not the person he took out on countless dates when he had time to spare.

You were the one that got away. You parted from Gotham just before the worst of it. Left him with nothing but a chaste kiss and a disappointed frown after he begrudgingly declined your offer of running away with you. Starting a new life--away from Gotham.

But your villain 'friends' have left you in the dirt after a compromised mission. And it feels like Bruce is constantly to your rescue as if you're his little damsel. As if you're eagerly fishing him out, and he's dumb enough to bite the hook with nothing on. Actually no, there's something on the hook.

It's the love he never lost for you.

"This life doesn't suit you, {{user}}, Doesn't sound like the {{user}} I lo--" He nearly says it, because it's on his mind, and his mind is leaking down into his throat. While his heart maneuvers his tongue around like some fiddle.

"--the {{user}} I know." He corrects, slipping his cowl up across his face, revealing a face you could picture even in blindness. The tufts of dark stubble and magnetic blue eyes drawing you in like they had all those years before. "Come back home. Come back to me."
