Mystery of The Night

CH. 7



Bruce stared at her wide-eyed as she stared at him curiously and a little surprised. He quickly looked around to see if anyone heard her and noticed that there was no one there, so he quickly grabbed her hand and yanked her into his car.



Once the car closed, he quickly started to drive away. "How do you know!?" he said in a shocked and irritated tone. Isabella stared at him and couldn’t help but smirk. "It's you're scent… I can sense you." Bruce gritted his teeth as he continued to speed down the streets of Gotham. "Damnit!" Isabella then sighed. "Bruce why are you doing this? I mean it makes sense as to how you get around so easily but still why? I mean what benefit do you have to go out and save people?" Bruce then glared over at her. "You tell me first what benefit do you get when go out in the night to protect people?" Isabella then frowned he did have a point.



"But I'm a Dhampir it was my destiny to do this! You're just a rich git who parades around Gotham in a Batsuit!"



Bruce then sighed. "Look. I'm doing this because I can, the city needs me to prevent them from chaos and now that you know you have to swear you'll never tell anyone!" Isabella then rolled her eyes. "Like I'm going to say anything I have bigger fish to fry right now." Bruce then quickly took a turn to the left and drove into a construction site.



"Look. I'm being serious Izzy this is a very crucial situation if anyone knew who I was that would be it."



Isabella looked over at him as he drove into his hidden area. "Is that why you asked me out? So you can find out dirt on me?" she asked somewhat disappointed, Bruce looked over at her seriously as he drove into his hide out and parked the batmobile into a room that was largely lit with white lights and had a massive computer sitting at the end of the wall. "At first… but then I got to know you, I got to see how your mind works and realize that you're not as bad as I thought." Isabella then frowned.



"You know this always happens… people become curious and play me to believe that they really care but in reality all they want is to mess with my mind and have me gain their trust just so they could learn what I really am."



Bruce then gently took her hand and looked at her seriously. "I'm not using you Izzy I really mean what I'm saying to you." Isabella softly smiled as the car opened. "Then why were you giving Rachel doe eyes?" she asked as she got out of the car, Bruce quickly got out and pulled off his mask. "Izzy…" Isabella then quickly cuts him off.



"It's ok Bruce; I know you still love her. I can see it and Lord knows I can sense it and it's fine… I understand."



Bruce was starting to get frustrated as he walked up to her and pulled her close to him. "I don't know what I want Izzy, I want you and yet I want her." Isabella then softly smiled. "I know the feeling, I want you yet I want someone else, what a pair we make huh?" Bruce sighed as he rested his forehead against hers. "We are a lot alike aren’t we? Two creatures of the night who fights against the evil of the world… maybe we are meant for each other." Isabella softly giggled as she looked up into his dark eyes. "Maybe we are." She whispered, Bruce couldn’t help himself. He gently smiled down at her and gave her a soft kiss on the lips; Isabella giggled against his lips and softly pecked him.



"So… you going to show me around?"



Bruce smiled down at her and nodded. "First though who is this other guy I'm competing with?" he mischievously smirked, Isabella then started to laugh. "His name is Jack and I don't know we click, but I click with you too. It's really complicated." Bruce nodded figuring that since he was in the same situation that he shouldn’t fight her, yeah it irked him to know that she was seeing someone else as well but obviously she has been seeing this guy before he asked her out to dinner. He really didn’t have any claim on her but it still bothered him that she has another man she probably spends most of her free time with too.



"So… does that mean I have to fight over you?"



He smirked Isabella then started to laugh. "I don't know to be honest with you… let's just take it one day at a time." Bruce nodded, he could do that after all he sure as hell didn’t want to loose her but at the same time he still had feelings for Rachel, it's just going to take time. Bruce allowed out a soft sigh and then gently took her hand.



"Well… how about I show you around?"



Isabella nodded as she started to follow Bruce towards his computer. "This computer tells me everything I need to know about the people I go against and shows me what ever I want to see… It's like my flight tower when I need directions." Isabella then nodded as she stared at the various connected screens. "It's amazing." Bruce smiled over at her and nodded, he then pressed a button to have his case come out of the floor to show it empty. "That is where I keep my suit." Isabella then nodded as she smiled over at him. "This place is amazing Bruce I'm not going to lie." She said softly as she sat down on his desk. "Well it's my home away from home… So tell me Izzy… what's your story? What is it that made you, you?" Isabella tilted her head to the side and shrugged.



"My Father was a Vampire and my Mother was human. He fell for her lustfully and decided that she would make the perfect mate for him to bare a son… well that never happened and he ended up killing her because he felt her deed was done after she gave birth to me. Since then my father would abuse and torture me until I turned sixteen and I had enough and killed him. I was really starting to turn for the worse because of my anger and rage but then Maverick came in and saved me. Maverick is Harvey's uncle and he was helping me and Alessandra train to be fighters of the good instead of the evil and since then I've just been doing what I do."



Bruce then nodded as he walked up to her. "You lived a pretty interesting life." Isabella nodded as she gave him a soft smile. "You have too, I've done plenty of research on you Wayne and now that I know that you're Batman I've definitely learned a ton of information about you." Bruce then chuckled. "It actually feels good to have you know…" Isabella nodded as she slowly got off the desk and walked up to him and kissed his cheek. "I'm happy that you told me, well… at least showed me." Bruce smiled down at her as he placed his hands on her sides and kissed her forehead. "In a way I'm glad you know… just promise me you won't say a word." Isabella smiled up at him and gave him a small peck on the lips.



"I promise, after all. Us creatures of the night have to stick together."



Bruce chuckled and was about to lean down and kiss her again until her cell phone started ringing. Isabella sighed as she pulled her phone out of her pocket. "Bloody hell I swear this always happens." Bruce chuckled as he watched her answer her phone. "Hello?" she said softly, she then heard Jack's voice on the other line. "Hey I'm just calling you to let you know I'll be a few minutes late, something had came up." Isabella then nodded and looked up at Bruce who was watching her intently.



"Oh no that's fine luv, take you're time."



Jack smirked against the phone looking over at the tied up fake Batman laying next to him. "You're not getting to lonely over at the dark apartment are you? I would hate to see you all cuddled up on your couch watching horror movies with your head peaking out of your blanket." He grinned mischievously as he kicked the fake batman who grunted which caused him to laugh. Isabella then rolled her eyes. "Please that was one time and you have to admit that those movies were gory." Jack then chuckled. "Yeah well I shouldn’t be long… so just get comfortable and I'll be there soon." Isabella then nodded.



"Sounds good to me I'll see you soon."



Jack then smirked as he taunted the fake batman with his knife. "Yep see you." he then hung up the phone a mischievous smirk morphing on his lips. "Now where were we?" Isabella slowly closed her phone and looked up at Bruce with a small smile. "Sorry about that." Bruce then shrugged. "Was that Jack?" Isabella looked up at him and slowly nodded. "Yeah… look Bruce I don't want you to think I'm playing you both, it's just I'm really confused right now and I really don’t want to hurt you… You're so sweet, caring and genuine and I don't want too…" his lips crashing into hers then instantly cut of her. Isabella smiled against his lips and wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss; he slowly pushed her against his car as he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her tightly to him.



Bruce then slowly was breaking apart from her, their lips lingering against each other's. "Sorry… I just had to do that." He grinned against her lips, Isabella then chuckled. "It's ok." She whispered, Bruce smiled down at her and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "I'm having a fundraiser at my place in a month and would love for you to come; it's for Harvey so I figured you'd like to go." Isabella smiled up at him and nodded.



"Yeah I would love to."



Bruce then grinned. "Great." He then opened the car, escorted her in, and drove her back to her apartment. Once Isabella jumped out, she didn’t realize that there was someone watching her through her window in her apartment. The figure watched her waving animatedly to the driver, which the figure noticed was the batmobile, Isabella then quickly, ran up to her apartment and the figure heard her opening the door with her key.



Once she walked in, she jumped when she saw Jack standing there with his hands in his pockets a dark look morphing on his scared face. "Jack! Bloody Hell I'm sorry I had a run in with Batman again." 'Well at least she's honest' he thought to himself, as he slowly stalked towards her like a predator who was about to pounce his prey. "Did he hurt you?" he asked darkly, Isabella then shook her head. "No just wanted to ask me a couple of things that’s all." She said quickly as she pulled off her shoes and placed down her purse, she then walked up to him with a cute little smirk on her lips, and gave him a warm hug.



"Mmm I missed you."



She whispered into his neck, Jack's dark emotionless look was still on his face as he hugged her to him, smelling obviously batman's cologne on her.



"I missed you too."



He said darkly, his eyes seeing nothing but red as he thought over what he was going to do to Batman if he sees him anytime soon.



Isabella smiled as she slowly pulled herself away from him. "So did you get whatever you had to do all figured out?" Jack looked down at her intently and slowly nodded his head. "It's all taken care of." He smirked as he thought to himself what he recently did. "So. What did the Flying Rat want?" Isabella then shrugged as she started to walk towards her couch. "Nothing in particular, he just had some questions about what I am and other than that nothing really else…" she said softly as she plopped right down, Jack nodded as he walked up towards her and then sat down beside her.



"Are you attracted to him?"



He asked in a hard tone as he slowly turned his head towards her a dark look penetrating in his eyes, Isabella then quickly looked over at him and frowned, what could she say to him? He obviously expected her to be here all night but she just couldn’t her mind was constantly wandering and it didn’t help that she was so confused as to how she felt about him and Bruce. "He's ok… nothing too special about him." she said trying to sound convincing, Jack watched her intently and slowly moved towards her.



"You didn’t feel any attraction to him?"



He asked seductively as he straddled her hips as she was leaning against the armrest. Isabella stared up at him and shook her head. "Why would I when I have you?" Jack smirked at her and then leaned down to her neck and started to kiss her soft skin, Isabella gasped as he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him, he then gently nipped her soft skin and then kissed up her neck up to her ear. He allowed out a soft breath causing her to shiver against him, Jack smirked at this and kissed the shell of her ear.



"Good because you're mine."



He whispered, Isabella moaned as he took her earlobe between his teeth and grazed the skin. He then moved back to look down at her to see her eyes glowing oh so sweetly up at him causing him to become more possessive. She was his and he was determined to make her and the world know who she really belongs to.



Jack then leaned down and kissed her passionately, Isabella moaned against his lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck deepening the kiss. Jack then quickly ripped his lips away from her and then rose up from the couch. Isabella looked up at him curiously while he did this.



"Jack what are you doing?"



Jack ignored her question, giving her a dark penetrating stare as he lifted her up bridal style and started to carry her to her room. Isabella gasped as he did this and wrapped her arms around his neck, Jack was now officially in her room now and laid her down on her unmade bed and stared down at her.



Isabella looked up at him as he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. He showed it to her and then turned it off as he gave her a dark smirk.



"Let's not have anymore interruptions."



He said mischievously, Isabella then smirked up at him as he pushed off his shoes and then climbed up onto the bed crashing his lips against hers. Isabella sighed against his lips and started to pull his shirt off. Jack willingly shrugged his shirt off and started to pull on hers Isabella lifted her arms up while he pulled the fabric off of her and smirked down at her as his hand cupped her breast. Isabella gasped against his lips as his hand started to massage her.



Isabella then slowly grazed her fingers through his greasy hair pulling his face closer to hers, Jack then wrapped his arms around her again trying to find the clasp to her bra, once he found it he quickly unhooked it and pulled it off of her, never breaking their kiss. He then threw the material off the side and pulled her tightly against him feeling her skin against his.



Jack moaned as he felt her fingernails grazing across his back, he then quickly turned and pulled her on top of him, hot and heavily making out with each other. Isabella straddled his waist as Jack cupped both of her breasts rolling his thumb over her tips as they were embraced in a very passionate French kiss.



Isabella moaned as she felt his thumbs tease her and started to grind her hips against his, Jack was loving this, he loved the feeling of her against him the way her mouth tasted, how her body reacted him. He then quickly turned her onto her back and started to grind his hips against hers, if it wasn’t for the pants they were both wearing Jack would have sworn that he would have taken her there.



"Jack…"



She moaned breathless as he continued his ministrations, Jack's heart started to race as he heard her moan for him and couldn’t have felt more on cloud 9 than now. Even with Jeanie, things like this weren’t even passionate between them, she usually didn’t want to embrace this sort of passion with him unless it was on her own terms but Isabella… she allowed him to have full reign and he absolutely loved it.



Jack decided he was going to be more bold and was about to undo her jeans until he felt her hands on top of his stopping him from doing such a task. Jack instantly broke the kiss and looked at her curiously. "Jack… please." She said softly as she looked up at him worriedly, Jack sighed and rested his forehead against hers. "Why not?" he asked a little bit frustrated, he wanted to claim her as his and yet she still had power over him when she said no, Isabella then sighed.



"Jack it's too soon… I want to get to know you a little better before we do anything like that."



Jack then nodded, remembering how violated she was when she was younger. It only made sense as to why she was so hesitant and figured that he may as well wait… after all he's done it for this long why not wait for a couple of more days. "Alright we'll wait." He smirked; Isabella then looked up at him completely surprised. "Really!?" Jack then nodded as he kissed her forehead.



"Really…"



He was then about to rise up from the bed until Isabella caught his arm. "Jack?" Jack then looked back down at her and saw that she was giving him a very shy look.



"Could you… could you stay with me?"



Jack smirked down at her and nodded his head.



"Anything you want baby."



He said; as his smirk grew even wider as he got under the covers and pulled her against him, allowing the darkness of sleep consume him.



*****



A/N: So what do you guys think of the chapter? Sorry it's so short, I know this chapter was kinda different, but I promise that it'll get better. Ok let's recap, It looks like things are getting a little Hot and Heavy with Izzy's little love triangle wonder how that's going to work out... Is she going to choose Bruce or The Joker? Only time will tell. On a further note Izzy has finally found out that Bruce is Batman and is more than willing to keep his secret but will it strain their possible budding relationship?



Bruce didn't seem to surprised by the fact that she figured out who he was but that is also because he knows what she can do. She capable of sensing people and I know a lot of you are probably saying well if she can sense Batman why not the Joker? Reason being is because the Joker using a lot of grease makeup on his face which in a way hides his scars and colors his hair green, so the chemicals from those two things could throw her off. Isabella will eventually soon find out that Jack in the Joker but a few more things have to happen before she does. Hope you all are enjoying the story it really is fun to write.



Reviews are greatly appreciated and help motivate me to continue writing. I cannot wait to hear from all of you soon, and if any of you have any questions or suggestions don't hesitate to ask. :)
