CH. 10



Soft sapphire blue eyes slowly opened to see a semi muscular chest beneath them, at first the owner of these blue eyes were completely confused until those two blue eyes slowly looked up and saw the scarred man who was sound asleep with a protective arm wrapped around her small waist. She then slowly lifted her head up and gently shifted her body enough to be able to stare down and examine him.



It amazed her, the stories this man could tell… every scar that bared on his body had a different tale, and mystery to him. She then gently glided her fingertips against the most potent scars that bore on his entire being… his Glasgow smile. She softly studied his handy work and noticed that the two scars were completely different. One was completely jagged showing that he must've took a long time to cut this side, it was obviously very a messy action since the flesh on his skin poorly healed together… it almost looked like a bullet was shot into his cheek. She then slowly looked over at the other one and saw how this one was more cleanly cut into a sadistic little smirk.



Obvious the skin on this side was much more easier to swipe the knife through. As she continued to stare down at him and examine the scarred tissue, she didn’t realize that he was watching her intently as her fingertips glided over to the other. She then slowly stared back at him and almost jumped when she saw his dark brown eyes staring back at hers. "Bloody hell mate you could've told me that you were up!" Jack gave her a dark smirk, as he slowly cupped her cheek into his palm.



"Why do you stare at them with such curiosity?"



Isabella shrugged as she felt him pull her right on top of him. "I don't know I suppose it's because they make you so different. I guess I just can't imagine how someone could leave you and get rid of your offspring when you self mutilate yourself to make her feel better… If that was me I'd find it morbidly romantic." Jack stared at her deeply and then cupped both of her cheeks with his palms and then leaned up and kissed her.



"The way your mind works intrigues me like no other."



He whispered, Isabella then smirked down at him and leaned her head down to capture his lips with hers as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "What can I say? I have a little demon in me; I think morbid beauty is utterly fascinating… after all I am the daughter of the most feared murdered of Europe so I suppose that counts for something." Jack allowed out a low chuckle as he slowly turned her onto her back with him on top of her.



"Well how about we allow that demon to come out and play…"



He said seductively, seeing the mischievous smile that was morphing on her lips she then pushed him back onto his back and straddled his hips, staring down at his beautiful dark brown eyes while she placed her hands on his warm chest. Jack stared up at her and saw that her eyes were glowing that pretty iridescent blue and then placed his hands on her waist.



Once he had done this she then leaned down to give Jack the most passionate kiss he has ever had which made him instantly place all of those questions in the back of his mind about killing her all he could think about at this very moment was to be with this woman, everything else could wait till later.



As the kiss became more passionate Jack then quickly moved Isabella onto her back and was instantly on top of her, clinging her body tightly against his as their tongues continued to dance against each other's. He then gently moved down and started to place fiery hot kisses from her jaw line down to her collarbone causing Isabella to moan and arch her hips against his.



Jack smirked against her skin and then gently moved further down, and stopped. He then looked up at her to see her looking back at him with the same amount of passion he couldn’t help but smile, then leaned up, kissed her on the lips, and gently whispered. "You really have no idea what you do to me…" he growled into her ear, Isabella smiled at him kissed him back



"Oh I think I do…"



She whispered, Jack grinned at this and passionately kissed her, starting to feel his yearning for her come in full blasts. He absolutely loved the feeling of her naked body under his, he then slowly moved down to her neck, then down to her chest worshiping her body like she was a Goddess as he placed fiery hot kisses further down. He finally made it down to her breasts and stared at them for a minute and then roughly nuzzled his face in one and placed his hand on the other and massaged and rolled his thumb over her causing her to moan and arch her back.



Once Jack stopped nuzzling her other breast he then placed his lips over the tip and gently kissed, nipped and sucked making her moan even more. He then gently moved away from her breasts and softly kissed down her stomach placing his hands on her sides and made it down to her belly button and then suddenly stopped and rested his chin on her belly, staring at her in amazement.



Jack couldn’t help but smile at the sight of her, she was truly a phenomena in his eyes and it provoked him to move further down. He then gently kissed down her thigh and started to draw lazy circles against the other, after doing this it caused Isabella to pull him back up to her and forced him to turn onto his back.



She then climbed up on top of him and started to kiss his neck and softly nip at the spot she placed her fangs in getting a nice moan coming out from Jack. Isabella grinned from this, glided her fingertips down his chest, and then grazed her hand against his groin causing him to arch his hips and moan.



"Damnit Izzy…"



Isabella grinned, then placed her lips on top of his kissing him deeply and passionately, as she placed her hand on his shaft, and started to move it up and down in a rhythmic motion making Jack moan against her mouth.



He then quickly turned Isabella onto her back and pushed her into the mattress giving her a very dangerous lust filled look and without any warning, he thrust himself inside of her causing them both to moan. Jack's thrust's were dangerously slow that it was aching them both until he started to move faster in pace making them moan for each other. As Jack rhythmically thrust into Isabella, he never felt such passion in his life before… it was never like this with Jeanie.



She always wanted to be the one to make the calls in a way maybe that is why he had such a need to be so dominant but with Isabella, he could feel the same amount of passion sear through her as he did. He literally clung his body tightly against hers as Isabella wrapped her legs around his waist to have him push in deeper and clung onto his back creating scratches from the amount of pleasure he was giving her. Jack knew that Isabella was coming close to her climax, and did the unthinkable he then gently moved his head down towards her neck and bit into her, Isabella gasped at first in shock but at the same time felt a wave of pleasure from it.



"Jack…" she whispered breathlessly, as he bit down harder starting to break the skin.



Once this happened Isabella instantly climaxed moaning and screaming Jack's name. Jack smirked at this and knew that he was coming severely close as well, once he pulled back from Isabella's neck to look at her face, he saw her eyes glowing and her fangs showing. Jack smirked at this as he continued to thrust into her and then shuddered knowing how close he was. Just then, he instantly felt Isabella push him onto his back and started to grind herself against him as he placed his hands on her sides and continued to thrust inside her knowing exactly how close he was to his breaking point.



She then looked deeply into Jack's eyes and smirked at him, it was a smirk he's never seen before… A smirk he only imagined that came from the creature that lurked with inside her, and then that's when he saw her lean down and gently placed a soft kiss on his neck and then sunk her fangs into his soft skin. Jack gasped from the sudden piercing but the pain quickly washed away and into mounts of pleasure and suddenly felt his climax erupt inside her. Jack moaned loudly as he continued to move inside her until his climax was finished…



Once Isabella knew he was done she slowly moved her fangs out of his neck, gently licked the crimson drops, placed a soft kiss on each puncture, and then nuzzled his neck. As Jack was breathing heavily, he wrapped his arms around her clinging her tightly against him feeling her trembling against him. Jack then gently placed a kiss on her forehead, glided his fingertips up her back, and then placed a finger under her chin, moving her head up so she will look at him.



He saw that Isabella's eyes were still glowing but her fangs were now gone and smiled at her.



"You're tremblin… I imagine that has never happened to you before."



Isabella smiled and gently kissed Jack on the lips and giggled twirling her fingers around his hair. "I'll be alright…" she whispered, as she rested her head against his chest, Jack chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "Yeah… you will." He muttered, as his callous hands were rubbing her back… They ended up laying there for a couple of minutes just loving the fact that they are both within the other's arms until suddenly Isabella's phone then started to ring. Isabella sighed, and was about to get up until Jack quickly pulls her back.



"Stay…"



He whispered into her ear, as he started to kiss her neck. Isabella sighed, giving him an apologetic look. "Jack what if it's important?" Jack sighed, moving his arms off her body as she leaned over and grabbed the phone. "Hello?" on the other side she could hear Bruce speaking. "Izzy! Thank God I got a hold of you I need you to come over…" Isabella looked back at Jack who looked extremely irritated as she slowly turned her back towards him.



"Um Bruce… it's sort of a bad time…"



She was then instantly cut off. "Look Izzy I really need you to meet me, I wouldn’t call you if it wasn’t important, please meet up with me? Please?" Isabella sighed as she slowly rose up from the bed. "Fine… I'll be there in 20 minutes." Bruce then smiled on the other line. "Thank you Izzy, I'll see you soon." Isabella then nodded. "Yep see you soon." She then hung up the phone and slowly turned around to look at Jack. "Jack… I'm sorry I hate to do this but something came up." she said apologetically as she walked over to grab her jeans and a dark royal purple form fitting t-shirt, she then quickly grabbed her undergarments and started to pull them on while Jack rose up from the bed.



"So he calls you and you go immediately running to his side?"



He asked in a sarcastic tone, Isabella frowned as she pulled on her jeans. "Jack… it's something urgent and I have to go take care of it." Jack slowly nodded as he roughly grabs her arm and twists her body enough to force her to face him and crashed her against him.



"Just so we make ourselves perfectly clear Izzy, you're mine. You can go ahead and go play hero but know that you only belong to me…"



He then leaned towards her, his lips near her ear. "You're body, the taste of your lips, you're everything is mine… and if I find out that Mr. Bruce Wayne so much as lays a hand on you I'll rip him into tiny little pieces." He growled menacingly into her ear, Isabella suddenly felt mounds of rage sear through her and roughly pushes him away from her. "I think it's time for you to go Jack…" she said in a chillingly calm tone, Jack gave her a dark menacing smirk as he roughly pulled her against him.



"Oh I'll go, but you just remember… we're one now. I have you're blood and you have mine… our whole being is inside one another which means that you are mine… You just remember that."



He said in his darkest grimmest tone, he then smirked down at her and crashed his lips against hers. Once he finally broke away from her, he then gave her a morbid grin.



"You belong to me."



He said possessively as he roughly pushes her away from him and then walked over to the bathroom to grab his clothes. Isabella watched him walk into the other room not knowing what to say or do…



He completely took her by surprise by his sudden possessiveness, it confused her deeply and in a way, it enraged her that he thought he could talk to her that way.



She glared over at the bathroom, deciding that she'll take her anger out on him later since she promised Bruce that she'd be there soon, so she then quickly pulled on her t-shirt, grabbed her keys and purse and stormed out of the door.

Isabella was now strolling down the busy streets of Gotham infuriated with what just happened to her and Jack… How dare he state any claim on her!? She belonged to no one! And she was the one who would decide who she wanted to be with! At first, she really thought that the moments they spent together were intense and extremely intimate but after that conversation they just had, it only ticked her off even more.



The idea of being claimed literally ticked her off since her father made it a point to remind her constantly who she really belonged to. It's not that she wasn’t flattered with the fact that Jack felt so strongly as to make it known that he wanted her with him but at the same time she felt like a caged animal and that was the last thing she wanted to be compared as.



It was bad enough that she knew she had a creature lurking inside of her but to be made known that she belonged to someone else; well it just really bothered her. Isabella finally made it to Bruce's loft and was immediately welcomed by Alfred



"Why hello Miss. Raven how are you doing today?"



Isabella smiled at Alfred and started to walk into the loft. "I'm doing well, Alfred is Bruce here?" Alfred nodded and then led Isabella towards the living room where Bruce was sitting snugly on his sofa watching the news. "Sir, there's a Miss. Raven here to see you." Alfred said jovially, Bruce then quickly looked up and smiled at Isabella. "Izzy!" he said excitedly as he quickly rose up from the couch and walked up to hug her.



"Thank you so much for coming."



He whispered as he hugged her tightly to him, Isabella for some odd reason felt a slight twinge of guilt feeling Bruce against her. In a way she sort of felt as if she had betrayed him and was betraying Jack at the same time, it was after all about a half an hour later since her and Jack's little escapades.



"It's no problem luv… What's going on?"



She said softly as she pulled away from him, giving him a worried look. Bruce stared down at her and gently caressed her cheek with his palm, causing her to slowly close her eyes. "I need to know if you have any information regarding the Joker and Lau…" Isabella slowly opened her eyes and gave him a confused look. "Bruce…" Bruce then quickly shook his head.



"Izzy, I know you have had contact with the Joker and it is believed that Lau has left the country I need to know as much as you can give me."



Isabella stared at Bruce with mixed emotions, if she gave him the information she knew about the Joker there would be less that she would be able to learn about him, and it might demise her plans… Lau on the other hand she could care or less, he was nothing but a squealer in her opinion and was really in all actuality a waste of time.



"I do know about Lau, I don't know much about the Joker…"



She lied, she couldn’t let Bruce know to much about the Joker, after all she was his to examine not him. "Lau had fled the country… from what is known in my short time of being affiliated with Maroni, Lau made it a point to escape with the money so he wouldn’t have to be trialed and would be able to save all the information he knows about the Mob… The Joker on the other hand was just a player the Mob had decided to hire… he's merely their puppet who is growing out of control." Bruce then nodded as he leaned down to kiss her forehead, once his lips moved away she could still feel them burning against her soft skin.



"Look Izzy, I know this is a lot to ask but I need you to come with me to Hong Kong."



Isabella sighed and slowly nodded. "What ever you need me for I'll be there; we should talk to Harvey about this though." Bruce nodded and gave her a small smile. "We'll meet with Gordon and Harvey tonight. He was supposed to go speak with Harvey so I'm sure they'll be by the Bat Signal tonight." Isabella nodded as she stared up into his dark brown eyes.



It intrigued her how different Jack's brown eyes were to Bruce's.



Bruce's eyes were sweet and kind while Jack's was menacing and dark, she couldn’t help the constant irking feeling she was getting since they had slept together it was almost as if something was telling her that there was more to Jack than she knew. "That sounds good, so um is there anything else?" Bruce gave her a shy smile as he softly took her hands into his.



"I was thinking maybe you and me can go see Fox today and have him help me fix up my armor."



Isabella then smirked at him. "So you aren’t a man of steel then." Bruce then chuckled. "No I'm just a man who wants to help the world just like you're just a woman who wants to do the same." Isabella then slowly tilted her head to the side and gave him a soft smile. "Bruce what is it about me that intrigues you so much? I mean I know why I'm intrigued with you but there's nothing really that special about me… I'm just some woman who happened to slam you into the ground on my first night here." Bruce then softly chuckled.



"Well there's that! But in true retrospect I ended up realizing that you're a good person just like me… You just know how to play the game right, Izzy look if the reason why you're questioning me is because you think I'm using you but I'll be honest with you I'm not… The moment I saw you I was determined to know who you were whether you were evil or good. And I'll be honest…"



He said with a warily smirk morphing on his lips, as Isabella listened to him intently.



"It was kinda sexy the way you were dancing on that dance floor that one night, and I really am glad that you're not evil…"



Isabella smirked up at him and crossed her arms. "So you were watching." She said with a little mirth in her voice, Bruce grinned down at her and started to laugh as he placed his hand behind his neck softly scratching it. "Yeah… yeah I was… and let's just say I was only mere minutes away from ripping that guy away from you." Isabella then started to laugh.



"Oh trust me luv you have nothing to worry about, that man I was dancing with is as gay as the day was born."



Bruce then looked at her completely surprised. "But… you guys were dancing like you two were…" Isabella then cuts him off giving him a devious smirk. "Like we were lovers?" Bruce gave her a mortified look as Isabella started to laugh. "No… not at all luv, I saw you watching me so I decided to play you up a bit since I heard you're Gotham's ultimate playboy." Bruce then sighed.



"God I hate assumption about me."



Isabella then shrugged as she started to walk away from him. "I donno luv you kinda bring it on yerself." Bruce then scoffed as he started to follow her out of the loft. "Oh Really!? How is that so?!" he grinned as he continued to follow behind her.



"Well let's see, you're with a different lass ever other bloody night and not to mention that you're handsome and you know you're handsome and also it doesn’t help that you have money so I suppose that kinda lists you there."



Bruce then quickly grabbed her arm and forced her to face him. "You know that's not the real me right?" he asked seriously, Isabella looked up into his dark brown eyes and saw the sincerity in them. "Yes… I do know that." She said softly as she leaned up on her tiptoes and cupped his cheek with the palm of her hand and gave him a soft, warm kiss.



Bruce then slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss between them, Isabella was slowly starting to loose herself in his embrace until sudden visions of Jack started flashing through her mind, she quickly but softly broke away from him and gave him an apologetic look.



"Slow remember?"



She said giving him a small smile, Bruce then nodded mimicking the same smile. "Right… Slow that's what we agreed on." Isabella then nodded as she gently took his hand and continued to lead him out of the loft.



"Come Dark Knight let's go talk to Fox about you're armor."



Bruce then smiled up at her and then started to follow her out of the building.

During their ride to Wayne Enterprises, the both of them were starting to learn more and more about each other. It seemed to Isabella that Bruce had a lot of the same interests as her and it also thoroughly amused her that they both had the same sense of humor.



It actually surprised her that he actually really is this easygoing… when she first heard about him she automatically thought that he was this cocky arrogant stud who knew that he could wrap anyone around his little finger… How wrong was she!? Bruce was the complete opposite, sure, he pretended to be what everyone thought of him to be, but if people really got to see who he really was they would all see the sweet and kind nature he had within him.



That is when Isabella realized why he was so successful as being the Batman, in a way they really were a like, and maybe all in all Bruce was the smarter match for her… in a way she felt very safe with him, and very relaxed… Suddenly, her thoughts drifted to Jack.



Jack was the type of guy Isabella always fell for, he was dark, mysterious, sexy, and in a way even though she was angry this morning she did like his possessive nature. The way he felt against her, and the things they did together was unforgettable and was completely erotic in her mind.



It was just so hard to explain the reasoning why she was so torn between these two men but there was just something about both of them. She just hoped that she would be able to decide soon…



They both then finally made it to Wayne Enterprises, as Bruce parked his Lamborghini in his personal parking spot, he and Isabella then started to walk towards the building… Bruce then smiled over at Isabella and then gently took her hand, Isabella was in shock when he did this because she always imagined that Bruce wanted to keep his playboy visage but then she supposed maybe that outlook on him wasn’t so important.



Isabella noticed the onlookers who were staring at them interestedly as Bruce led her with him towards Fox's office, and Isabella couldn’t help but feel a little shy from all the attention they were getting. Bruce quickly noticed her apprehension and gave her a reassure smile as he softly squeezed her hand to let her know everything will be all right.



As they finally made it to Fox's office Bruce then opened the door for Isabella, Isabella smiled over at him and started to walk inside, Lucius looked up to see the two of them walking in and secretly had to smile to himself glad that the two of them were together.



In all honesty, if he had to choose two people perfect for each other it would be them. "Ah I see that my two most favorite unique people are finally getting along." He grinned, Isabella smiled over at Lucius and walked over to him and gave him a hug. "Ah well, it was all in due time." Lucius chuckled as he hugged Isabella to him.



"Yes and I have to add that I'm absolutely thrilled about it."



He grinned as he looked up at Bruce who had his typical smile on his face. "So I take it there's a reason why you two are here." He said knowingly as he released Isabella, Bruce's smile then grew even wider as he placed his hands in his pockets. "Something like that, how did the online conference with Lau go?" Lucius then shrugged.



"The Consultants love you're idea of a Joint Venture, but for some reason I'm really not convinced. L.S.I's grown 8 percent annually like clock work. They must have a revenue stream that's off the books. Maybe even illegal."



Bruce then shrugged his shoulders as he started to walk towards them. "Ok cancel the deal then." Isabella then arched her brow at him and smirked.



"You knew all along didn’t you…"



Bruce smirked at her and softly pulled her to him. "I needed a closer look at their books." Lucius then looked over at Bruce wearily. "Is there anything else you can trouble me for?" Bruce then grinned at him as he fully wrapped his arm around Isabella's waist. "Don't worry Fox she already knows… but there is something that I need… I need a new suit." Lucius chuckled, as he looked Bruce over.



"Three buttons is a little nineties…"



Isabella started to laugh as Bruce smirked over at him. "I'm not talking fashion Mr. Fox, so much as a function." Bruce then moved away from Isabella and pulls out a diagram from his pocket. Lucius walked over to him, stared down at the sketches, and nodded. "Ah you want to be able to turn your head then." Bruce then nodded. "Sure, make backing out of the driveway easier." Isabella then walked over at them.



"Ya know I always wondered how you were capable of doing that."



Bruce then smiled up at her. "What can I say I have skills." Isabella rolled her eyes, looked over at Lucius, and pointed at Bruce. "Can you believe this guy?" Lucius then smiled over at her.



"Trust me you don't know the half of it."



He then looked over at Bruce who was glaring at them both and started to laugh. "I'll see what I can do." Bruce then nodded. "Good, look me and Izzy have to take care of a couple of things so just give me a call when you're ready ok?" Lucius nodded as he took the diaphragm and placed it in his pocket.



"Will do sir."



Bruce then smiled at Lucius and then pulled out his hand to Isabella. "Ready Izzy?" Isabella nodded, smiling at him, and then took his hand.



"More then ever!"



Bruce chuckled has he and Isabella started to walk out of Lucius' office.



"We'll see you later Mr. Fox."



Lucius nodded as he smiled over at the little couple.



"See you two soon."

Later that night, Bruce and Isabella decided to separate as they patrolled the streets. Isabella had to admit that her day was somewhat eventful with Bruce, they had spent majority of the day learning more and more about each other.



She couldn’t believe all the little intricate details that he had to involve into being Batman, it was like it a completely different side to him. They ended up talking all about their little adventures and what they had to go against in the past and both learned something new about each other.



Isabella had to admit that her time with Bruce was very much enjoyable but at the same time, she couldn’t fight her mind off of Jack. Even though he infuriated her this morning, there was still that bond they both shared together. He was right on some things, they did understand each other, they both had a hard life and both had abusive fathers who killed their mothers.



Even though he had quite a dark past, he completely understood her. However, she couldn’t deal with a possessive boyfriend right now. If that is what she is going to call him… they never really discussed what their relationship is to each other, other than the fact that he always comes to her place and spends his entire night there or he get's calls and has to immediately leave but other than that they seemed to have a very extreme connection.



The one thing that did catch her off guard was that she actually allowed him to have her… She barely knew him but knowing that in a way that he was just like her made her feel believe it or not safe with him. She then allowed out a soft sigh as she was walking on top of one of the buildings, she then looked down and saw one of the shorter buildings lighting up the bat signal.



Isabella smirked at this and crouched down on the ledge to see Harvey standing there with a man with short brown hair, a rather noticeable mustache and glasses. She then gently tilted her head to the side as she watched Batman emerge from the shadows.



Harvey quickly looked over at him and allowed out a little laugh. "You're a hard man to reach." Isabella then smirked down at them and decided to jump off the roof she was standing on and landed right next Harvey who jumped a bit.



Gordon quickly pulled out his gun and aimed it at her as she smirked at him. "Hello, I believe we have never met." Gordon looked at her skeptically as Batman lowered his arm. "Don't worry she's with me." he said in his low raspy voice, Gordon then quickly looked over at him completely confused.



"You have partners now?"



Batman shook his head while Harvey spoke up. "No actually she works for me. You see I hired her to investigate what's going on with the Mob and the Joker, I'm sure you heard of Europe's most notorious Agent. Isabella Raven." Gordon then quickly lowered his gun staring at her in surprise. "I always thought you were a Myth or something." Isabella smirked at him as she crossed her arms.



"Who said all myths aren’t true after all you're myth is that you have a massive bat prowling out into night saving the ones that need to be saved."



Batman then smirked. "She does have a point." Gordon sighed as he held out his hand to her. "I'm Lieutenant James Gordon. It's a pleasure to meet you." Isabella smiled up at him and gently shook his hand. "It's a pleasure Lieutenant." Gordon nodded as he retracted his hand as Harvey started to speak.



"Lau's halfway to Hong Kong, if you asked; I could've taken his passport. I told you to keep me in the loop."



Gordon then sighed irritably as he placed his hand on the Bat Signal and leaned his weight on it. "Yeah? All that was left in the vaults where the marked bills were! They knew we were coming! As soon as you're office got involved, there's a leak…" Harvey then quickly cuts him off.



"My Office!? You're sitting down here with scum like Wuertz and Ramirez… oh yeah Gordon I almost had your rookie cold on a racketeering beef."



Gordon then rolled his eyes, as Isabella and Batman watched the two men banter at each other. "Don't try to cloud the fact that clearly Maroni's got people in you're office Dent." Harvey ignored his comment and looked over at Isabella and Batman. "We need Lau back, but the Chinese won't extradite a national under any circumstances." Isabella then looked at Harvey curiously.



"Do you really think he's worth bringing back Harvey?"



Harvey then quickly nodded. "Oh yeah he's definitely worth it." Batman then spoke up. "If I get him to you, can you get him to talk?" Harvey the smirked at him. "I'll get him to sing." Gordon then frowned. "We're going after the mobs life savings. Things will get ugly." Harvey then quickly looked over at Gordon and glared at him.



"I knew the risks when I took this job, lieutenant. Same as you."



He then was about to turn over to look over at Isabella and Batman. "How do you two plan on getting him back away?" as soon as he turned he then realized that Isabella and Batman were gone and looked a little startled, Gordon then smirked at him as he looked over at Harvey.



"I suppose that you're friend has a tendency to disappear but Batman… well he does that a lot."



Meanwhile in the Bat Mobile Isabella then quickly looked over at Bruce. "So I take it we better start packing." Bruce then looked over at her and smirked. "I suppose so." Isabella nodded and smiled over at him. "I think we should talk to Lucius and see if he has any ideas as to how we can go under the radar before we leave." Bruce then nodded. "I thought the same exact thing, listen it's kinda late why don’t you stay the night tonight?" Isabella then shrugged.



"I donno Bruce I have some things I need to take care of."



Bruce then frowned. "Oh… alright. Um you can always take care of them tomorrow it's not like you have to do them right now at 12 in the morning." Isabella then softly smiled at him. "You do realize that if I stay the night, I'm sleeping on the couch right?" Bruce then smirked over at her.



"Nonsense you get the bed I'll get the couch, you're my guest! I can always take you home tomorrow so you can pack and everything."



Isabella thought it over and then slowly nodded. "Alright fine, I'll stay the night but only if you let me get the couch." Bruce then chuckled. "Fine you get the couch, but somehow I think it's going to switch back to the way I want it." Isabella then started to laugh as she looked out the window.



"I guess we'll only see."



Meanwhile, while this was going on… There was the Joker standing in Isabella's apartment. He warned her about being with Bruce. He made it loud and clear that she was his and no one else's he knew that she would be patrolling for the night but usually would be back now and since she still hasn’t came back he was more than determined to make it known to the world who she really belongs to.



A dark morbid smirk morphed on his lips as he thought of the perfect plan…



****



Uh oh! It's starting to get interesting, I wonder what the Joker is going to do next ;) and it seems that Isabella and Bruce are starting to get closer... Does this mean that she's offically looking interest in Jack?! I guess we'll have to wait and see...
