Harley nodded more scared of ivy then anything. Lori danced with Bruce resting her head on his chest.
|
Bruce danced happily with Lori, never wanting the song to end. Unfortunately, it did eventually end. Just for good measure, he leaned down and kissed Lori, earning applause from the guests watching.
Gemini smiled softly. "They're so perfect together." She said. When the kiss was over, she raised up a hand. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the new couple to cut the cake!" She announced. |
Lori grinned and pulled him to the cake wielding the knife like a dagger she cut the cake with him. With a grin she smashed a piece into his face giggling.
Ivy smiled "I'm glad I made her wait for him." |
Bruce laughed. After he wiped the cake mostly from his face, he took a piece and shoved it Lori's face, wearing a devious smile.
Gemini nodded. "Same here. Though, I'll admit she wouldn't have listened to me if you hadn't been telling her the same thing." She said. |
"Meep." Lori laughed and then kissed him before licking his cheek. "Yum!" she grinned.
"At least she has us to push her." Ivy chuckled at the couple and started to hand out the cake letting them have there moment. |
Bruce chuckled, licking his lips. "I didn't realize you could get any sweeter." He said. "I'll have to bring some frosting on our honeymoon." He added in a low voice.
Gemini nodded again, helping to hand out the cake. Taking her own piece, she dug in happily, making a mental note to wrap up a piece to bring home. |
Lori blushed and shivered a little. "I don't think they let that on a plane...you have your own plane don't you?" she sighed a little and took his hand as the food was brought out. "Lets eat and then dance." she plopped down and wiped her face off with a napkin still blushing.
|
Bruce chuckled again. "I've got two. One for business, and one for just us." He answered, sitting down next to her. "You did a great job putting all of this together, Love. Have I told you that you're amazing?"
|
"Several times but I like here it." Lori smiled and leaned against him before starting to eat.
|
"Well then I'll be sure to tell you as much as possible." Bruce said, starting to eat his food as well.
|
After Lori finished she drifted onto the dance floor with Ivy at her side. They danced together clearly having done this before.
|
Gemini wandered over to Bruce, having nothing else to do. "Those two clearly dated at some point." She mused, noting how the statement made the man blush. "So, is mister broody finally happy?" She asked, teasing.
Rolling his eyes, Bruce nodded. "Yes, I'm happy. A little less happy with that nickname, but still happy." He said dryly. Glancing over, he saw the redhead smirking a little. "By the way, does your boyfriend have anything planned that I should know about?" That question wiped the smile right off her face. "Well...actually..." Gemini started, clearing her throat. "He might, but I'm honestly not sure if he's going to actually go through with it. And if he does, I don't know when it will be. And no I can't tell you what it is." She added the last, seeing Bruce about to ask the question. |
Lori come over at the moment laughing and have carrying Ivy who was laughing as well. At that moment the Joker entered the room smiling at everyone "hello my dears." he grinned.
|
Gemini felt her heart stop. "Oh, no." She muttered. "No way. He's not actually going to do this now."
Bruce froze, all traces of happiness gone from his expression. "What. Is. He. Doing. Here?" He asked stiffly. |
Lori took Bruce's hand watching Joker. "Oh I'm party crashing Bruce. I thought you would invite your enemy but oh well." Joker laughed. "I am you enemy of course seeing as your batman." a whisper went threw the crowd.
|
Gemini went ghostly pale, gripping onto Lori's hand. "I'm gonna kill him." She whispered furiously.
Bruce sighed, and stood up. "I'm sure there's been a mistake." He started. "We didn't invite many people at all, considering that this wedding is a private occasion. The fact that one of Gotham's worst criminals wasn't invited has nothing to do with Batman, though I will say that I agree with Batman on a few issues. Mainly that you're a madman and should be locked away forever. Now, if you'd kindly stop harassing my guests with ridiculous lies, we would all appreciate it." |
"Tsk, tsk Brucey so sure of your self. Of course kitty cat is sure of you too." Joker winked at Lori who scowled. "Fun that you married Catwoman of course everyone knows she's Catwoman your different though. I have the proof and I'm tired of keeping it up my sleeve." he pulled a video camera from his sleeve chuckling. "it's all on here. Make's sense doesn't it people?" he asked the few people around. I'll just step outside and show this to everyone else." he laughed and walked off. Everyone was staring at Bruce thinking it threw.
|
Bruce clenched a fist, resisting the urge to jump over the table and strangle the clown, but then he just sighed. He could feel all the stares directed at him, and decided it was time to give it up. Lifting his wrist, he pushed a small button on his watch, which activated a camera that connected to every T.V. and computer screen in Gotham. Making sure the camera was centered, he started to talk. "People of Gotham City, I apologize for interrupting your day, but it's time you all learned something important. I come to you all today, live, to clear up once and for all a question that many have asked over the years: who is Batman. The answer, good people, is quite simple, really. I am Batman." He paused, letting that sink in. "I, Bruce Wayne, am Batman. I'm sure many of you already suspected this, but today, I decided it was finally time to confirm it. I am Batman, and though I am sorry for lying to you all these years, I will make one thing clear: I don't regret being Batman. I do not regret the time I've spent protecting you all, or the people I've come to know because of it. And until further notice, I will continue to protect you all with my life. Thank you, Gotham, for listening to me. Thank you for believing in me. Please don't stop believing in me, because I'll need it now more than ever. Good day." And with that, he pressed the button again, disconnecting the camera. The broadcast had just gone out to every single person in the city and beyond. "There, it's done. And at least by doing it myself, I robbed the Joker of a chance to mess with me." He said to Lori. "Did I just do the right thing?"
|
"Well I support you the city might not." Lori hugged him tightly. "They may turn on you before they admit that they need you." At that moment James Gordan stood and walked up to him. "I have to arrest you Mr. Wayne it's policy to arrest the batman." he held out a pair of handcuffs. "Don't make this hard." Lori's face crumpled.
|
Bruce sighed and hugged Lori tightly. "I knew this was coming...it had to happen eventually. Don't worry, they won't hold me too long." He whispered into her ear. "In the meantime, stay with Ivy and Gemini and wait for me to call. Don't go out alone, okay?" He insisted, then turned. "Alright, I'm coming." He said, obediently holding his hands out to be cuffed.
Gemini came up and put a hand on Lori's shoulder. "I'm so sorry about this..." She said, her voice tight with anger. "I'm going to kill that jerk. I'll kill him, bring him back, castrate him, shove his balls down his throat, then kill him again." |
Lori pushed her hand and away ignoring Ivy as well watching Gordan slap the cuffs on Bruce and read him his rights. She followed them out to the police cars sniffling a little. "I'll see you soon." she kissed his cheek before letting Gordan stuff him in the back of the car.
|
Bruce went quietly, cooperating as much as possible. It would be easier to get out if he was on his best behavior. As the police car drove away, he lifted a hand to Lori and smiled, trying to tell her that everything would be okay.
Gemini looked at Ivy. "We need to watch her carefully. Villains are going to come after her now that they know- even regular people will. I'm worried." She admitted. What if everyone who hated Batman decided to come after his wife, just to hurt him? Lori could take care of herself, but she couldn't handle that many angry jerks alone. |
Lori watched till the car vanished down the streets then turned to Alfred who was waiting with the limbo. "Oh Alfred." she hugged the old man tightly after a pause he hugged her back.
|
Gemini watched the scene, feeling a bit helpless. The only thing she could think to do was find her boyfriend and punish him severely- and she couldn't do that yet, not while Lori needed people around to support her.
|
Lori sniffled ignoring the news groups who wanted her option. She pulled Gemini, Helena and Ivy into the limbo Harley having vanished. "Alfred make sure to call the lawyer." "Already done Madam." Alfred got in after closing the door behind them. Lori nodded then stared out the window.
