I take a deep breath as I stand at my front door not wanting to open it. Of course, Batman had seen what happened. This was his domain. He saw everything that happened in Gotham. This was not good. When I tell him who I am, it was only a matter of time before HE knew I wasn't in Metropolis anymore and I was done with the whole superhero thing.

Unlocking my door, I walk inside and setting my bag down on the counter I walk over to the window and opening it let out a heavy sigh. This was gonna suck. I walk over to my room and opening the closet pull out the case that held my super suit and sigh. I thought I was past this. Opening it, I grab the simple white mask and then closing the case slide it back into the closet. The mask should be enough.

I walk back out to the living room to see Batman standing there and I am instantly aware of just how tall and muscular he really is. The suit did nothing for him. He clears his throat and I shake my head free of the thoughts that were running through them.

"Sorry, it's just been a while since I saw you in the light." I answer honestly causing him to tense.

"When was that?" He asks and I look up as I try to remember.

"Can't remember the exact day, but I know it was on the watchtower. When Diana introduced me to everyone as," I pause as I place my mask on my face and run my hands through my hair changing the color to a shimmering blonde color.

"Lady Light." Batman concludes and I nod.

"Haven't heard that name in a while." I reply quickly changing my hair color back to my normal one as I take off my mask.

"Why'd you disappear?" He inquires and I shake my head.

"Sorry Bats, we don't know each other well enough for me to tell you that." I reply tossing the mask onto the coffee table. "So, are you gonna tell them where I am?" I ask addressing the elephant in the room.

"They deserve to know that you aren't dead." Batman concludes and I roll my eyes.

"You always knew best didn't you." I retort crossing my legs. "But you're right. You can tell them I'm fine." My eyes plead with him as I continue, "Just please, do not tell them where I am."

Batman folds his arms over his chest, and I wait for him to chastise me, but he doesn't.

"Very well." He answers and my eyes shoot to his as confusion fills my eyes.

"You're not going to tell them?" I inquire moving to stand in front of him.

"It's not my secret to tell." He answers and I nod.

"Thank you. Honestly, you're the last person I thought would help me." I answer honestly and he nods slightly.

"I can understand why." He replies moving to the window. Before he leaves, he stops and reaching into his utility belt he grabs something and then holds it out to me. "Take this."

"What is it?" I ask as I cross the floor to him. I look down to see a communicator and I cock an eyebrow at him.

"If you ever want to come back, or even just to talk. I'll be here." He replies and then without another word he is gone.

I stare off after him in confusion for a while. That was very uncharacteristic of him. Why would he do that for me? I though he hated me. Well hate may be a strong word, but I did not think he liked me. I run my fingers against the communicator as I think to myself that maybe I had been wrong about him.

I stand at the water fountain in the middle of the park my hands wringing themselves against the strap of my purse. I hadn't slept that much last night, terrified that Batman would have lied and the person I did not want to see the most would have been at my door. I would have canceled on Bruce today, but unfortunately, I didn't have his number. So here I was. Dressed in a nice sundress with my converse on.

I look down at my watch to see that I was a little early. Letting out a heavy sigh I find a clean spot on the fountain to sit. My mind was still racing about last night. I didn't know why but Batman seemed weird. He was different than I remembered him.

Why? When I had been a part of the Justice League, he and I fought all the time. People joked that it was because I was the Sun, and he was the Night; but I knew that was bullshit. I glance around at all the people at the park to see them all enjoying themselves and the sunshine and I smile. One of the reasons I had left the League was because I wanted that. I wanted to be normal.

Sure, I loved being a hero. There was an amazing feeling when you saved someone's life. It was intoxicating. The rush you got from their love and adoration was dangerous. It was like an addiction.

Closing my eyes, I let the sun soak into my skin and smile softly. The sun was my symbol. I am, or was, Lady Light. So naturally I got my enrichment from the sun. The more I was in it the healthier I looked.

"(Name)," I hear Bruce's voice say my name and I open my eyes. "Sorry I'm late."

I look at my watch and see that it's one minute after noon and I chuckle.

"Really? You consider one minute as late." I laugh as I stand up next to him. "If you think by those standards, I'm always late." I smile brightly and he returns my smile.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"Glad you see it that way."

"Shall we?" he asks holding his arm out for me to take and I nod.

"So, where are we going?" I ask as I intertwine my arm with his.

"Well, there are some museums, the opera house, the shopping district; you pick."

"While those all sound amazing, I was thinking more of the places you find interesting." I reply as I look up to meet his gaze.

Confusion mapped his face and I instantly want to take back what I said.

"I'm sorry," I add, and he furrows his brow.

"Why are you sorry?" He asks and I let out a sigh.

"You looked like I had said something wrong."

"No, I was just surprised. The women I usually see always jump for the shopping idea." Bruce says and I roll my eyes.

"If I wanted to go shopping, I'd take myself. No offense." I reply and he smirks.

"None taken, so places I find more interesting." He pauses for a moment before his eyes light up. "Are you hungry?"
