She forced herself up, despite the pain, as Bruce's back arched, his face grimaced in pain. "Bruce! Bruce wake up!" She shook his shoulder, worry dripping from her words. She winced again as it felt like someone shoved a large serrated knife into her abdomen. She yelped, curling over, clutching her stomach. "B-Bruce!" She managed to shout one more time through clenched teeth. What is happening!? She screamed out with her mind. A pale as paper woman, half of her face rotted away, leaving only a skull, showed herself in her mind. I am happening. She said, with a cackle of laughter, as the pain in Hailey intensity level rose tenfold, bringing tears to her eyes, feeling like the blade was being ripped out, and plunged back in, the blade e=being twisted.

Bruce's eyes snapped open and Hel's control faltered. "Hailey!" he rasped breathlessly, jerking himself into sitting position, ignoring the pain in his side. He grabbed Hailey and pulled her into a strong embrace, "Shh, she's not here, she's just in your mind." He murmured, as Hel's ridged dagger transferred from Hailey to Bruce, twisting around in his stomach. He broke away from Hailey, clutching his stomach, expecting to see the red life spilling out. His face twisted in a grimace as Hel's imaginary hands snatched the blade from his stomach, making Bruce nearly cry out with pain. "Get out of my mind!" He managed to croak out, coal black eyes dancing with rage. |

She was still curled over as he pulled her into his lap. "Who is she!" She croaked out in pain. She cringed, balling up tighter as she felt as if the twisted blade was ripped from her stomach. She rolled from Bruce's grip, and felt as if she was bleeding, but did not look. She crawled over to Bruce again, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "What is happening?" She asked in a panicked voice, taking his face in her hands, as he shouted to get out of his mind. She winced, leaing back slightly. "Bruce?" She asked in a softer, pained tone. [/color] |

Hel was gone. Bruce drew in a sharp breath and heard Hailey say his name, slightly questioning and in a soft, pained tone. He sighed and pulled Hailey into his lap, "Her name is Hel." He muttered, gently cupping her face in his rough, calloused hands, running his thumb across her cheek. "Many years ago I thought I'd killed her..but I guess not. [/i][/color]" He frowned and watched Hailey with concerned dark chocolate eyes, the slight confusion swirling in the deep depths of his eyes. " Are you alright?" He didn't care that his own side was burning. [/blockquote][/color] |

She let him pull her into his lap, not wanting to resist him. She had her arms wrapped over her abdomen, some tears dripping down her face. She nodded as he told her who it was, and how he'd thought he had killed her. She shook slightly as she let lose a heavy sigh, tinged with pain. She nodded when he asked if she was okay. "Are you?" She looked at him, her eyes wet from the tears of pain. [/color] |

Bruce held her in his arms, "Shh, don't worry, I'm here, if I can help it I won't let her hurt you and I'm sorry she has." He held her close to him and kissed the top of her head. He didn't care that his side was burning with pain, all he cared about was Hailey. "I love you." |

She turned, wrapping her arms around his neck, leaning her head on his shoulder. She shifted in his lap, moving away from his injured side, guessing he was hurting. She turned her face, her lips pressing into his neck. She closed her eyes, pain still slightly shuttering through her. She couldn't help it aas a few more tears trickled down her face. Hel, as he had said she was called, had planted images of Bruce dying. Bleeding out on the floor, Hailey unable to do a thing. She shuttered as a particularly depressing one flittered through her.
---Torment---
Bruce was laying on his back, bleeding, a knife in his stomach. Hailey was straining against rust chains, trying to reach him, slicing her wrists to hell on the sharp shackles. She struggled against them, harder, screaming his name. She slumped low to the ground, still struggling, not being able to get any closer. Hel appeared, slamming another knife into his chest. He cried out, the pool growing bigger. Hel smiled cruelly at her, and the torment ended.
------
She opened her eyes, her lips still pressed gently to his neck. "I love you more than anything." She whispered to him. [/color] |

Bruce sighed and held her close, feeling a shudder run through her. He ran a hand through her hair, trying to reassure her. Then Hel entered his own mind, showing him the image she had tormented Hailey with, letting him feel the knife plunging into his chest, making his body jolt with a wince and he squeezed his eyes shut as she placed a new image in his head...
Hailey was there, running toward him, arms outstretched. But only Bruce seemed to know that it was he standing there. His voice wasn't loud enough when he screamed out her name, telling her that, that wasn't him. That, that was Hel. A brillient smile crossed Hel's face as she, looking like Bruce, slashed her knife, cutting Hailey's stomach. Hailey fell to the ground, shock and horror on her face. Bruce heard her murmur, "How could you? I loved you?" With her last breathe as she bled out onto the ground. And Hel lifted the curse just as Hailey died in his vision, leaving him to sink to his knees, his eyes tearing.
He wrenched his eyes open the thought of loosing Hailey bringing stinging tears to his eyes. The thought that the Hailey in his vision had thought he had killed her making the tears leak across his cheeks. |

She felt him shudder, and wrapped her arms around him tighter. She leaned her head back and kissed his cheek, knowing she must have haunted him with some image, of what she didn't know. She pulled him closer, turning in his lap so that she was chest to chest with him. She was sitting on her right hip, her feet and legs out to the left, her upper torso turned to him, holding him in a hug. She sighed, accidently getting his face and neck wet with her tears. "What did you see?" She asked in a low whisper, not sure if she wanted to know, and not sure if he wanted to tell. "I'm right here. And I'm not going anywhere." She whispered in an even lower tone.

Bruce swallowed, "I saw you killed...by Hel, but she was disguised as me, so you died thinking that I had killed you..." he glanced down at her, "I would never hurt you like that." He told her gently, pain, from the vision, in his eyes. "Please promise me one thing," Murmured Bruce, staring into her eyes, "don't ever think that I'd hurt you like that." |

She frowned, her lips back on his neck gently. She moved her head to look at him as he explained. She nodded, glad that vision had not been forced into her head. "I wouldn't believe it, even if you did hurt me." She kissed his cheek again. "I would never even dream about hurting you, not one bit." She promised him, her eyes shining with the wetness of unshorn tears. She leaned in and kissed his lips gently, the tears in his eyes had frightened her, not thinking of Batman as one to cry, maybe not Batman....Bruce Wayne had to cry... [/color] |

Bruce smiled at her, and blinked the tears that had come into his eyes away. He kissed her gently and then deepened the kiss, putting his arms around her waist. He couldn't bare to think about loosing her. When he'd met her he was still slightly broken by Rachel's death but Hailey and pranced in and picked up all the broken pieces of his heart and put them all back together. He would never leave her. |

She wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss more. Never wanting to leave him. She loved him, and nothing would change that. She had been about to end her life, because of Steven Grant Rogers, but Bruce had literally come out of the dark, pulling her from the edge, and saving her life. He had put her shattered heart back together, adding to it, making her better. She would never stop loving him, she would die for him, in a heartbeat, without hesitation. She pressed into him, leaning him back on the bed slightly. [/color] |

Bruce ran his hands down her back, kissing her passionately. He felt her hair as it fell down into his face. He didn't mind, not one bit. He smiled against her lips. He'd never felt so strongly for someone before, Hailey was the first. He never wanted to let her go and he never would stop loving her. Never. |

She smiled, arching her back slightly. She kissed him, passionately, leaning in. She smiled against his lips, sliding her hands to his shoulders. She slid her hands back down, letting them come to a stop on his belt, hooking her fingers in them slightly. She smiled a little more, pushing a little harder with her lips. [/color] |
