Bruce stared at the ceiling. "Mr. Wayne you've broken four ribs, your nose and you punctured a lung...the press is asking how this happened." a nurse had said a bit nervously, and Bruce Wayne had ignored her. He'd been broken by a man named Bane...a man who had used only his fists, his feet and his knees.The Batman should have been able to beat him...but he had been unable and the truth of it consumed Bruce's thoughts. He was on the mend but he'd heard that because of Bane, Commissioner Jim Gordon was also in the hospital and that sent him wondering if they were in the same hospital...had he known -and had the nurses allowed him to- he would have gone to visit his friend. He'd asked once but had been forced to be quiet as the doctors hadn't wanted him to talk. |

She pushed her way into the hospital, and to the desk, past the reporters that had gathered in the lobby, undoubtedly for Bruce. "Let me see him." She ordered, leaning on the counter. "We can't let you." She grit her teeth, slamming a fist into the counter, leaving a large dent. "Let me see him." She repeated, causing reporters to look her way. The desk attendant nodded, and whispered to her the number, and she took off, to fast for the reporters to follow, her light jacket lifting off her sides with her speed. She slammed into the elevator, and came to a stop, placing a hand on her stomach as she slipped out the room, and looked for his room number, wincing as one of the boys kicked. [/color] |

Bruce heard someone's shoes slapping against the ground and closed his eyes, thinking it was a nurse and pretending to be asleep. They came every now and then, tried to get a response from him, but he offered nothing. They had told him to stay quiet. But that wasn't the reason why he spoke not a word. He didn't say anything because the words, I should have been able to beat him just kept flipping around in his head like Harvey's coin. Yet he'd been broken by Bane and he was too proud to admit it. |

She found his room, and slipped in. It looked like he was asleep so she softly slid into a chair after gently kissing his forehead. She sighed, slipping into the chair, resting her hands on her swollen belly... [/color] |

Bruce's eyes flickered open when he felt a kiss on his forehead. He turned his head a bit to looked at Hailey. "Hi... [/i][/b]" He murmured, watching her and giving a faint smile. [/blockquote][/color] |

She smiled softly at him. "I'm here." She slid her hand over to his. She squeezed his hand gently, scooting her chair closer to him. "Who did this?" She whispered softly, looking softly into his eyes. [/color] |

Bruce shook his head, wincing at the movement. "I can't tell you that... [/i]" he murmured. He didn't want her getting hurt. He pushed himself back against the pillows and tried to rise to sitting position but pain jolted through him and he groaned, stopping the movement to sit up.[/blockquote][/color] |

She sighed, sliding closer. "Tell me. I need to beat their asses." She held his hand tenderly, looking softly into his eyes as he tried to move. "Hey, stay down." She gently placed a hand on his chest. A light of worry in her eyes. [/color |

"No! [/i]" exclaimed Bruce in a raspy voice when she said she'd kick the ass of whoever did this. " No," he repeated painfully, " I don't want you anywhere the ass who did this." He took in a shuddering breath, so that was why they didn't want him to talk...it made it hard to breathe. [/blockquote][/color] |

She laid a gentle hand on his chest. "Don't speak." She whispered softly. She pressed her lips softly to his hand. She looked at him, the look in her eyes being. I will find out, and I will go looking... She was serious. |

Bruce took her hand in his. "Hailey don't. Nothing I did effected him in any way. " His eyes met hers. "I can't loose you because of him. I can't loose you because of anyone." |

She sighed, squeezing his hand gently. She leaned forward and kissed his forehead softly. She looked back into his eyes. "I'm not going to let him hurt you like this and get away with it." She whispered softly, hoping he wouldn't figure out a way to change her mind... [/color] |

Bruce raised his hand and cupped her cheek, "Hailey, please...he was kicked out of a group of assassins for being too violent...." He said in a hoarse voice. And I took him on....but he broke me... he thought with a sigh. |

She sighed, leaning in and kissing his lips. "I'll be careful." She whispered softly. She had made up her mind, she was going to give this guy a piece of her mind, well...the Mistress's mind...She slid her hand over his chest, gently, as to not cause him pain. She smiled softly at him... [/color] |

"Hailey no." Bruce said in a firm, commanding voice. It wasn't the tone he normally used when he was talking to Hailey but it had to be used, he didn't want her getting hurt and Bane would do just that. He'd nearly broken the Bat, his body not his spirit of course, but still. He could kill Hailey just as easily as he could the Batman. Of course anyone could do that but Bane did it as though he was breaking a twig.
Bruce rubbed a thumb across Hailey's cheek. "I can't let you go after him, do you understand? He broke me as easily as one would break a twig, that's how easily it is for him...I can't let him do what he did to me to you." It wasn't that Bruce didn't believe Hailey was strong, he knew damn well that she was incredibly strong it was just that he was afraid that Hailey would under estimate Bane's strength and over estimate her own. |
