Regret

I do not own anything but what I made up and added.

Here is something else out of my "different box" for you guys. It came to me while talking to "Queen Kobra author RyokoMist, hey bff! Happy May! enjoy: LibraDiva83

The room is empty with no one else but her. Filled with complete darkness, except the glare of moonlight peeking through closed curtains. She a beautiful brown beauty as she lays in bed. Wrapped in between bedsheets in nothing, but a simple short pink night gown. Laying on her back she has bed hair color pink nonetheless. She is anything but your average girl next door, yet loved by all who know her. She is alone until she hears his voice in her ear.

"Max, I wanna ask you a question"

"okay Ter"

"there is something that I need your opinion on"

"which would be what this time, McGinnis"

"well I wanna date again"

"I think that's great Ter, any contestants"

"well I kinda had my eye on someone, but I'm not sure she would be interested"

"is she seeing anyone right now, do you know?"

"no, she's not she's kinda a workaholic. And she doesn't know I have my eye on her, cause I never told her"

"okay so man up McGinnis and tell her. There should be no reason why you would be scared to ask someone out on a date. When you go out just about every night and fight criminals like Mad Stan and Spellbinder"

"okay first off Mad Stan, terrorist and Spellbinder, psychopath. And that's not what I meant someone told me today that they wanted to go on a date with me, this Friday"

"okay, good so what seems to be the problem"

"see now that the thing it's someone we know"

"well spit it out McGinnis I don't have all night ya know. Who is it?"

"Chelsea"

"Chelsea?"

"yeah"

"so what did you say"

"I told her I would think about it cause I might have to work. So what do you think about that"

"well, I think how do you feel about that, do you like Chelsea in that way"

"I guess I could, I mean I like hanging around her when we're all at Club Goth-Em. I never thought she looked at me that way, actually I would think maybe Nelson was more of her type being the dreg he is and all"

"well yeah I guess I always kinda thought that too. I mean she's very pretty she can have any guy she wants Ter, and she must want you so I guess go for it"

"ya think"

"I mean it's your decision. Man what does she see in you anyway, your such a twip. I mean being your girlfriend requires being your best friend really with benefits"

"so what your saying is I should pretty much date you then huh. Think your hot enough to get me. I mean I know I'm sexy and all, but do you think you could keep up Gibson"

"oh please McGinnis, go grab a mirror and when it breaks come back to reality with the rest of us"

"ouch!, that one hurt Maxie. Straight through my heart"

"good I used a double deuce this time"

"really I always pegged you to be a nine kinda girl"

"yeah well you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. So let's get back to the subject at hand, what are you gonna do"

Max's phone beeps

"Ter hold on a sec"

"okay"

"hello"

"Max I need your advise"

"doesn't everybody tonight, what's up Chels"

"I asked Terry out on a date and he said he would think about it. Max I kinda got this little crush on him and since your his best friend I thought you could tell me what to do"

"okay Chels here's the thing with Ter, just be yourself. He doesn't like being fake, just tell him the truth. It's that simple"

"that's it, just be myself"

"yep"

"okay and Max do you think it's weird that I feel this way for him"

"Chels, we all feel a way about Ter okay. Now I gotta go my cousin's on the other line"

"okay, thanks Max your the greatest"

"that's what they tell me. I'm not so sure yet, goodnight Chels"

"goodnight Max"

"Ter, you there"

"yeah who was that"

"oh my sister asking about a boy again, so did I help you"

"yeah talk to you tomorrow"

"ok night Ter"

"night Maxie"

Max hung up with Terry and laid in her bed thinking about Terry and Chelsea. Saying to herself that it would never work, because the both of them where complete opposite. Still not quite sure on why she lied to the both of them on the phone about who the other caller was. She realized she didn't want them to be together because she wanted to be with Terry. But Terry never made a move cause she was stuck in his best friend mode. And if Terry and Chelsea wanted to be together, they would have to do it on their own. They were still her friends, and she wanted them happy. But Max had a heart and feelings too, and she was not numb. Max knew that even though the chances of Terry and Chelsea working out, were in her book ten percent to ninety. Even though it was only ten, it was still ten percent of something and she would have to wait and see.

Two weeks later...

Max was in bed in the dark trying to sleep and was having a hard time in doing so. She tossed and turned for over three hours and still no sleep, but she knew why. Max hadn't heard from Terry or Chelsea in two weeks, just then Max phone ranged.

"hello"

"Max is it okay if I stop by for a patch job"

"yeah stranger"

"be there in three"

Max was confused as to what was going on Terry never called before. Usually he would just show up for a med kit, what was going on. Max cut the lamp on and waited for Terry. Who then came through her window moments later. Terry was a sight to see when Max finally got a good look at him. The suite was half destroyed and missing and Terry was bleeding from the ribs. He then pulled back the cowl and reveled a busted lip, bloody nose and a smile on his face. Terry sat down at Max's computer chair. Max tended to his wounded ribs first with questions.

"what the hell happen to you McGinnis"

"oh this, tonight's rendezvous was with one of your favorites Mad Stan"

"and the suite"

"oh you know"

Both- "blow it all up"

"yeah I can see he blew all up this suite. How many bombs this time"

"no not how many, what kind"

"okay then what kind"

"one, it attached to the suite and sent some kind of vid disc into the suite and made the the circuit system explode itself. It was specially made for me, then the regular bombs came"

"oh I see where do you think he gets them"

"outta town if you ask me, I'd say Japan or something"

"I think it's best if you say nothing"

"no really Wayne has a company over there that are crazy years ahead of us with this tech stuff"

"everybody's ahead of you with the tech stuff"

"not everybody Chelsea doesn't know about a lot of stuff like me"

"speaking of which is that the reason you have a smile on your face, cause you went on the date with her"

"oh it's been more than one date, were seeing each other now"

"what"

"yeah Max, you told me to go for it and I did. I gave her a chance and it's going great so thanks Max"

SLAP!

(Max slaps Terry in the face)

Back At The Cave

Bruce was rubbing Ace's head when he heard a slap that could summon thunder. Turning around in his chair, Bruce up' d the volume on the computer. And then he heard Max's voice, coming from the audio link in the suite. Terry was at Max's and they were arguing, actually it was Max doing the arguing. She was going in on Terry about not hearing from him in two weeks. When Bruce heard Max talk about how half ass and destroyed the suite was, Ace's ear's pointed straight up. And Bruce could help but let out a laugh. Holding his cane with his right hand and chest with the other. Bruce said to himself out loud while petting Ace again.

"I really like her, she's got such spunk. Maybe I should reconsider turning her into bat girl."

Ace titled his head to the left and eyed his wise and intelligent master.

"No, Ace I think your right better not. If I do that she'll kill him for sure, then me and Gotham will be out of a dark knight. Still it be a waste to let her get away. How stupid could he really be to not see what's really going on here. He can't be that dumb. Even I know that and I'm not great with woman myself."

Back At Max

"Ouch!Max, what the hell!. My lip is busted that hurt"

"I don't give a shit if your lip is busted it's supposed to hurt, stupid"

"what the hell's your problem"

"YOU! You been M.I.A and then I get a phone call at two in the morning asking for a patch job. Then you get here and your fuckin suite is hanging all half ass out with the fuckin circuit shit hangin all out the suite lookin like you like your ass lost a fight to a fuckin power generator that belongs to the electric company. Your fuckin ribs are bruised and probably fuckin cracked. Your fuckin lip is busted and your nose is bloodly, which means it the shit just maybe broke. And yet here you are all smiling and happy about Chelsea, talking about you guys are dating now. And had the AUDACITY to not tell me shit. Like I haven't seen or heard from you in two weeks, TWO WEEKS! Terry. Where the fuck you been, with Chelsea. That's what you trying to tell me that you been with Chelsea, not only is she your girl now. But she must be helping you with the bat shit too. Huh, she's your new tech girl not me. I'm not good enough to help you anymore. Just good enough to patch your busied and bloody ass up. Then go ahead Terry go be with Chelsea, tell Chelsea all about you being batman. Cause I don't wanna hear it anymore"

"Max, what the fuck. Are you on your period"

"my per- get the hell out, before I finish what Mad Stan started"

Terry couldn't understand what was wrong with Max so he left and went back to the cave. Unknown to him or Max that Bruce had heard ever word that Max had ever said. After Terry jumped into the car Bruce turned back to Ace and said. "I guess he really is". And so Bruce and Ace sat and waited for Terry to get back to the cave.

At The Cave

Terry gets out the car and walks up to Bruce, whose staring at him.

"What"

"I think my favorite part was power generator"

"you heard that"

"every single Max word and I did more than hear"

Bruce played the playback button and let Terry hear Max's voice.

Max's voice- "you get here and your fuckin suite is hanging all half ass out with the fuckin circuit shit hangin all out"

"and you recorded it, what's wrong with you old man"

"that I'm just old and not stupid. The question is what's really wrong with you. Max is right, you didn't speak to her for two weeks. She has every right to be upset because you use her. When you need a med kit she's there is she not and then some. Am I right"

"yeah, and I don't use her"

"This is not up for debate, yes you do. So, the question is how stupid are you?"

"old man not tonight"

"fine. It's your prerogative if you wanna end up like me"

"what is that suppose to mean"

"yeah, you really are that stupid. Figure it out and get back to me"

"figure what out Bruce"

"if your really that stupid. Think about it, figure it out and then get back to me."

"your the oldest dreg I know"

"Do you really wanna find out how bad ,I can make Mad Stan's bombs look like a walk in the park"

"you don't have the tech"

"Japan remember"

Looking for some sort of bluff coming off of Bruce's glare. Terry decided he didn't feel like putting the old man to the test tonight. So he chose to ended it with a truce flag. He already got chewed out by Max. He didn't wanna let Bruce get round two.

"night Bruce"

"don't forget to leave the suite"

A Week Later

Max decided she couldn't take it anymore, she had to go. Terry was flaunting all over Gotham how happy he was with Chelsea. And Max's heart keep breaking with each sight and moment of the two. She stop speaking to Terry since her blow up with him a week ago. He tried to call her twice but not really putting any effort into it. So Max decided to not only stay away from Terry and end all contact. She would leave Gotham all together, but she needed help. Max made a phone call to the only person who could help her.

Phone rings

"Wayne"

"Mr. Wayne, it's Max I need your help please"

"What is it Maxine"

"Well I, I stop talking to Terry and that's not enough. Cause he still knows where I live and everything. I wanna end all contact with him all together. I wanna leave Gotham and disappear and no one knows how to do that better than you. Will you help me...please"

Bruce sat back in his chair holding the phone as the words left Max's lips. He had a choice to make. Either say no or, help the girl who he come to love as a daughter leave Gotham. To get away from the one person she was running away from, his son. Help her disappear and have no one but him know of her whereabouts. The choice was proven to be yet another choice he didn't wanna make. What would he deiced.

Okay guys I really hoped you liked it because there is one more chapter after this. This is a one shot but with 2 chapters. There is also a small surprise, Max meets someone who knows Bruce very well :)
