Author's Note:

This fic takes place in the current season 4, where I imagine (and hope) that at some point Bruce and Selina start working together as vigilantes. First chapter is focused around Selina, second is focused on Bruce, third and final is both.

Hope you enjoy!

He'd passed out while they were out that night. It wasn't a date -- well, maybe it was, she wasn't sure what constituted a date. Regardless, Selina was kicking herself internally for not noticing something was wrong with him sooner. She knew the reason he hadn't said anything was because he thought she wouldn't believe him. He still didn't trust her, and she didn't blame him.

She sighed, still hiding outside the manor. After she'd managed to get Bruce back home and to Alfred's help, she'd pretended to leave. She was sure Alfred would be angry with her, and she didn't want to be there when he had the time to speak to her.

So she hid outside, planning on coming back in to see Bruce when she was sure Alfred would be out of the picture.

She had to wait for over an hour before she was sure she could come in undetected. She realized she had miscalculated when she came in her usual way into the drawing room and found Alfred sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.

"Hello, Miss Kyle." Selina sighed, "Look, I just wanted to make sure Bruce was okay." "And you couldn't have stayed to do that?" "You didn't want me here." "Perhaps not, but master Bruce certainly did." Selina averted her eyes. "He's been asking where you'd gone, if you were okay." Selina looked back at Alfred, slight anxiety in her eyes, "What'd you tell him?" "Don't worry, he doesn't know you've been hiding out here. ...I didn't want to get his hopes up in case I was wrong."

Selina nodded. "Well, as long as he's okay, I should probably..." She began to go back to the window where she'd entered. "And where exactly do you think you're going?" Alfred stood up, and Selina turned back around to face him. "You know as well as I that he's still awake, waiting for you.

"I don't consider you a particularly good influence on that boy, but I know he cares for you, and whether you want to admit it or not, I know you care for him. So instead of avoiding him, go and speak to him."

Selina was taken aback by this. She was used to Alfred trying to discourage her and Bruce from seeing each other -- never had he tried to convince her to stay.

Rather than question it, however, she made her way to Bruce's room. She didn't bother knocking on the door, she just walked in.

She found Bruce lying in bed, and at first she thought he was sleeping, but then she heard a very soft and raspy, "Selina?"
