#bruce and xander ya done fucked up lmfao

[ofmythsandfables]

❈ — A racket of gunshots and yelling could be heard just outside the door where Selina just landed a dropkick to a man's chest, hurdling him in the air and crashing into a pile of barrels. She made a mental note of it, thinking it was Bruce even though she told him she didn't want him there. But then again, she should have known better than expect him to listen to her. He never did and certainly didn't plan on starting now apparently.

Someone came up behind Selina, putting their arms around her and she growled loudly, kicking up to get leverage enough to pull herself over their head and plant her feet into their back, stomping them into the dirty floor face first to knock them out. Her eyes were set on getting to Black Mask, never letting him out of her sights as she slowly made her way toward him in the middle of fighting every one of his men. But they did make things a tad difficult for her, she'd give them that much.

She could hear doors bursting open, probably Bruce finally entering the picture but she didn't have time to look as someone aimed a gun at her head. With a crack of her whip, the gun was out of the man's hand with leather wrapping around his neck, tightening as she flipped around to stand behind him, making sure he passed out from the lack of oxygen.

"My my, I was expecting one hero in our midst, but it looks like a friend has tagged along..." Black Mask sat up in his seat from the top of the catwalk above them, his voice dripping with sinister intrigue and it made Selina look over, shock in her eyes.

"Are you fucking kidding me, Bat??!!" She practically shrieked in anger when her eyes were on Xander. But it was short lived when someone landed a punch to her face, causing her to fall over, but she was quick to get to her feet land a kick to his stomach to double him over, and then bounce his face off her knee to knock him out. "I'm going to scratch your damn eyes out later, Bat! There better be a good explanation for this!"

❈ — It killed her to do it, but she knew she needed to act fast and leave that night. Once Xander was fully asleep, Selina slipped away from his grasp and readied everything. She gave the man she loved one last kiss to his cheek and whispered ‘I love you’ to him before slinking out of the home and into the night. She didn’t disturb her cats or Auggie and knew if anything happened to her, her babies would be well taken care of and therefore had no worries in that regard.

{ three days later }

Knuckles rapt at a large wooden door. Heartbeat pounded in her chest as she waited idly by, with the cool winds blowing through her dark strands and sending a chill through her, until the door creaked open and a familiar face appeared. “Hello, Alfred. I know he wasn’t expecting me but is he home? This is rather important…” 

Alfred immediately brought her inside and led her throughout the large mansion. Memories flooded back to when she frequented these same halls years prior, but those days were long gone. A chapter of her life done with. And then Alfred opened a door and announced her arrival, and there he was, turning in his chair before standing.

Selina’s breath came out shaky before speaking. “I know I’m the last person you expected to see, but I really need to talk to you about something, Bruce…”

{ two days later }

Not a sound was made as Selina quietly made way through the warehouse. The place felt fairly empty, the rooms and halls were dark without a person in sight, but she knew better. Her tracking skills led her here, and knew it was only a matter of minutes until she’d be facing the enemy…whoever they were…

The dingy, stifling feel of the place made her skin crawl and it didn’t help that the majority of it was dark, until finally seeing a glaring light in a room up ahead. Quickly, Selina silently headed for it and did her best to not make a sound with the door when entering, but as soon as she was inside, a smooth, deep voice could be heard from behind her and it caused a shiver to run down her spine. 

“It’s been a long time, Selina. I’ve been looking forward to our reunion.”

She knew that voice. Didn’t think she’d hear it ever again and yet…

Turning, eyes landed on the man not far from where she stood, and a snarl rips from her throat as she speaks his name. “Black Mask, you son of a bitch…”

The moment Alexander realised Selina was gone, he phoned his brother and asked him to take the next train as he needed him to stay at his place. Given their professions, neither Xander nor Selina knew people they trusted enough to be inside their home or take care of their pets, so the only one he could rely on was Theo. Poor Theo, because he’d have to gain the trust of four cats for however long Xander wasn’t going to be around. 

After a couple of hours where he got his suitcase packed, flights purchased and explained to Theo everything he had to do once he arrived to his home, he went on his way to the airport. It was going to be damn long flight and he couldn’t even try to get some sleep because his brain was going miles and miles per minute; wondering where Selina was in Gotham and if she was okay. 

It took him more than a few days to try and track her whereabouts in Gotham; the city was a mess. Everywhere he looked there was a robbery or a fight breaking out. And unfortunately, he hadn’t found her yet; it was becoming frustrating and he was desperate. As he was looking at the newspapers he saw a very familiar a name, which made sense of him being int he papers considering who the man was. 

The following day, he made his way to Wayne Manor and as soon as the door opened he walked past Alfred, obviously apologising but he was in a rush. “I know you probably don’t like me but I need your help, Bruce. I don’t know where Selina is and she’s gonna get hurt, I know it… I know she can fight and she’s damn good at it but… I can’t let her do it on her own, if somethin’ happens to her… I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.” Xander said truthfully, he was frightened. “I need your help.” 

And it almost looked as if Bruce had been expecting him because he soon turned around the screen of his computer which showed he had been tracking someone. “Took you long enough,” Bruce said, and explained to him the situation Selina seemed to be in, “gear up”.

In less than 30 minutes, Alexander put on his equipment and loaded his weapons, even when Bruce made it clear that they weren’t supposed to kill anyone and just knock ‘em unconscious but that wasn’t Xander’s way. If anyone hurt Selina, he just wasn’t going to make it a fist fight, he wanted them to suffer as they went out.

After taking note of the address, Xander made his way there on one of Bruce’s motorbikes while he took the Batmobile. After setting up in a nearby building, he sniped four masked men armed with rifles, then joined Bruce by the door. He didn’t seem happy about Xander’s work but by now there was obviously no turning back. 

Getting inside, they were met with another group of masked men, and just as the Batman started taking them out, Xander was shooting at them. If Selina was here, and she could hear them, she would know they were on their way.
