In the morning, moments after Hailey woke up, Bruce did. His eyes flickered open and he looked down at Hailey. He smiled at slightly "Good morning." came his voice mingling with a yawn, and blinked away the sleep. "What do you want for breakfast?" He asked maneuvering in the bed so that his back cracked and his nose crinkled a bit at the feel and the sound. ((going to reread the whole topic...and shiver XD)) |

She smiled as she heard his voice, his chest vibrating with the sound. "Good morning." She smiled, tilting her head up to him, her nose ever so slightly brushing along his neck. She smiled, noticing how brown his eyes were in the day, instead of the dark midnight color of before. She didn't know what she wanted for breakfast, but she did know she wanted to stay in the bed with him. She really didn't want to get up, the only clothes she had stained with her blood, and his. Thinking of her clothes she remembered she had taken them off, and she was laying in his arms in her undergarments. She felt herself blushing as she looked up at him, the color in her face going to be impossible to miss in the light streaming in from the window.

The Dark Knight found himself chuckling when he caught the blush. "Here, you can burrow my clothes and I'll wash yours. I'll go and start breakfast while you're changing." He didn't give her a chance to reply. He gently broke away from her and went to his drawer where he grabbed a shirt and some shorts. He frowned, "It's not much," he told her, still frowning, as he tossed her the clothes. He picked up hers from the ground and left the room, shutting the door almost all the way and went to put Hailey's clothes in the wash. After he'd started the washer, he went into the small kitchen and began to mix the ingredients for pancakes into a bowl. |

She sighed lightly as he slid away from her, the blankets stteling at her wasit. She didn't bother to pull the blanket up to cover herself. He tossed her a dark maroon shirt and lights brown shorts. He said it wasn't much, but she believed otherwise. It meant a lot, espically to her. "It's more than enough." She whispered as he slipped from the room. She didn't know if the clothes would fit, he was definatly bigger than her, no doubt about that. She slid out of the bed, still warm from his arms. She knew she could deal with a loose shirt, but wasn't so sure about the shorts. And her burn! She remembered it, considering how she had almost forgotten. She sighed, he hadn't known, and she wasn't mad in any way at all. She pulled the dark shirt over her head, it gently slipped off one shoulder, she sighed, adjusting it so that her white gauzed shoulder was the one showing, and not the one he had stiched back together. She pulled the shorts up, and they in no way fit her waist. She sighed, time to use one her many talents, she started looking for anything she could use as a belt. She saw a towel rope in the bathroom. That would work. She slipped it through the belt loops, sinching it tight. The rope sticking out from under the shirt a little bit. She sighed, the shorts were baggy around her, coming up to a small circle of her waste. She sighed, taking a deep breath. She smelt like him, from sleeping in his arms, and wearing his clothes. She sighed and slipped out the door on silent feet. She walked over, and stood by him as he mixed the pancakes. "Thank you, so much." She was reffering to everything, not just the clothes and keeping her warm all night. She looked up at him, looking into his deep brown eyes. "For everything." She said softly, emplying how he had held her all night while she slept in his strong arms. She hadn't had another single nightmare after he had wrapped his arms around her, and she was grateful. And, she felt the urge to ask him to hold her again the next night. |

As Hailey changed, Bruce continued to mix the pancake ingredients together. I hope those shivers were nothing... he thought with a frown. The thought of the shivers being more then nothing made his forehead crease with worry and his deep eyebrows furrow. He smacked an egg on the counter and broke it, watching the yellow yoke spill into the bowl of pancake mix. He broke one more egg and poured the yoke into the bowl, swearing slightly when a piece of egg shell fell into the bowl. He grabbed a spoon and carefully fished out the shell, dropping it into the trash with the rest of the egg's protective layer. After a few moments in silence, Bruce went over to the radio and turned it on, turning the volume up a bit since it had been soft. The song, The First Cut is the Deepest by Sheryl Crow started to play and the Dark Knight sighed, going back over to the mixing bowl. After the mixture had turned to liquid he carried it to the grill and took a measuring cup out to pore the liquid onto the pancake grill as Hailey came out. He glanced at her and gave a slight smile. "I hope you like pancakes." He told her, turning his gaze back to where he was slowly pouring the liquid onto the grill to create circles...and sometimes ovals. |

Hailey started humming the music, she knew this song. It had been on her Ipod before it had been destroyed. She nodded. "I love pancakes." She went to the cabinets to get the plates. She started setting the table. She didn't even realize it when she started to sing.
"I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I have
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
If you want I'll try to love again,
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...
OOHHH,
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
But when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
Cuz if you want I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know, OOHHH....
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst
OOHHH, the first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
Try to love again..."
She sighed, feeling the point of the song in her heart. She had listened to the song a few times a few days ago, trying to bring a light back to her, and going to that song after onthing had worked. Her eyes widened slightly and she turned to see Bruce, her face blushing. What did I just do!?!? She let her eyes flicker away, her face reddening. "Sorry." She muttered. [/color] |

Bruce looked up as she started to sing. He smiled. She had a beautiful voice. When the song was over there, Hailey glanced at him, her eyes widening as the song Don't Let Go, a duet between Bryan Adams and Sarah Mclaughlin came on. "Why are you sorry?" He asked, arching a brow. "You have a very nice voice." He gave a crooked smile and flipped one of the pancakes, cursing when the side of it hit the side of the grill and it dripped down the side. He hurriedly tried to get it back over with the spatula, but failed and tried to push it with his finger, but the hot grill burned it and that caused him to swear again. After a few tries, with frequent swearing and muttered ows, he finally got it back to where it was supposed to be, only to discover that he'd partially burned the rest of the ones on one side. He felt like slapping himself. He should have flipped the others and then worried about the messed up one. He sighed crossly and hurriedly flipped all the others...but the back sides were almost black and the small hotel room was filling with the stench of burnt pancakes. With a roll of his eyes he grabbed the butter and quickly buttered the one that had gotten messed up and then the others. |

She smiled a little. "I never sing in front of people...But thanks." She smiled. She laughed slightly as he fought with the pancake, and walked to the sink, turning on the cold water. As he started buttering the pancakes she slipped his burned hand away from him, sliding it under the cold water. She smirked slightly, and smiled warmly at him. She leaned up, to the small window above the sink, leaning on the counter slightly. She unlatched the window. She was a little short, so she sighed, leaning across the sink, getting some water on her shirt. She lifted the window, leaning into his hand that was under the water slightly, more cold water dripping onto her shirt. She leaned back, smiling. She hated being short. She smiled at him, leaning over the sink again and pulling the shirt out slightly to wring the water out, lifting it up over the top of the shorts, revealing the towel rope belt. But the room started to smell better. [/color] |

Bruce turned to give Hailey a crooked smile when she took his burned hand away from him and put it under cold water. He gave her his thanks and hurriedly slipped the finished pancakes onto a plate he'd grabbed from the table and put them aside. He put new ones on and when they were finished, since he managed not to burn them, he put them on a plate and held it out to Hailey. "Just take it." He told her, then caught site of Hailey's makeshift belt. He chuckled, "Those pants a little big?" |

She smirked at him, taking his hand back away from him again, sliding it back under the water, a playful grin on her face. She smirked, taking the plate and setting it behind her. She smiled at him, her eyes twinkling slightly. The radio switched to a new song. Just a Kiss By Lady Antebellum She smiled a little more, knowing this song. It made her think of the night before. She let a small sigh escape her, as her eyes flickered down. They had shined again with the light she never wanted again.....but she did want it...maybe? She smiled, faintly, still arguing with herself. She found herself starting to hum the lyrics...looking away from him. Feeling the need to hide her feelings, not wanting to be crushed again. Feeling like the song, it was slightly hard to breath. She sighed, looking back up to him after a minute or to, the song ending. |

Bruce looked up at her as the song, Just A Kiss started. She's beautiful.... He thought as the sun from the window caught in her hair. The song reminded him of the last night. Then he heard the line about the feelings. As he watched her playfully smirk at him, he couldn't help but ask himself if he felt something for her. But no, he couldn't. They'd only just met! He watched her when he didn't think she was looking, liking the way her hair fell across her shoulders, the way the sun lit up her golden hair and sparkled in her stormy eyes. How could Captain America let her go? The question popped into Batman's head as he watched her. In a way, although he knew it was horrible, he was glad the captain had...if he hadn't then Bruce would have never met Hailey. He was weakened a bit at her smile and he couldn't help but smile back. It was just as the song said, he'd never really opened up to anyone before. And that last night...had somehow felt right, when he had suspected it would have felt...wrong....just wrong. But it had only felt right. But how? he wondered, how can I love her? |

She smiled slightly, reaching up and turning the water off. She let go of his hand, looking down slightly. She sighed, it not seeming to be fair. You only met him last night. Her brain sighed...could it sigh? Her eyes downcast. A new song fluttered through the speakers on the radio. She frowned a little, casting a slight glance at it. Was it on a love song marathon? The song was Falling For You by Colbie Caillat She sighed as the lyrics filled the air. She sighed, looking up at him slightly as the song played. She let her eyes drop as the song ended. She sighed, and the words spilled from her mouth before she could stop them. "I think I'm falling for you..." She whispered, looking down. Her brain started screaming at her, how many ways she was a fool. She sighed, looking up at him, slightly. [/color] |

Bruce found his eyes flickering up to her face as the next song came on. He hadn't heard it before but the lyrics instantly made him think of Hailey and the way he felt towards her. At one point he caught her eye, until they flickered away as the song ended. Her words seemed to spill out of her mouth before she could stop them. For a moment the Dark Knight could say nothing. Then he let his mouth twist into a genuine smile. He took a step forward and gently brushed her golden locks from her face. He leaned down and gently pressed his lips to hers. |

She was unprepared for the kiss, but didn't even attempt to move away. She moved a little closer, her arms moving up around his neck, without her even thinking about it. She pressed her lips back gently, feeling his pressed gently against hers. She smiled, her brain not even working past the thought of: I love you... She heard a new song filtering through the radio. You Belong With Me by none other than Taylor Swift She smiled more, her lips still pressed against his. Her heart was fluttering in her chest, and her blood was pumping, without a doubt, her face was probably red. She smiled, this kiss turning into one better than any she had ever gotten from Steve Rogers. |

Bruce's fingers gently slipped through her hair as their kiss deepened. He smiled when the song You Belong With Me started and gently broke the kiss, his dark eyes meeting Hailey's stormy eyes, his mouth still twisted up in a sincere smile. He gently brushed her hair from her face so he could see her eyes, his finger tips softly brushing against her cheek. "I think I'm falling for you too..." He murmured with a smile, his eyes never leaving hers. He hadn't even felt this way around Rachel, but the thought of Rachel, which usually brought thoughts of wanting to see her face again and hold her again, didn't come. He could barely bring Rachel into his head when all he could see was Hailey and all he could think of was Hailey. "I don't think." He said after a moment, "I know." |
