Crazy Love (Jonathan Crane × Reader, Bane x Reader)

Chapter 15

CHAPTER 15

Batman pursues criminals responsible for attacking the stock exchange. That's what has been playing on the news over and over for almost 24 hours. This is why you don't normally watch the news. But the man wearing a red motorcycle helmet in the surveillance video caught your eye. The shape of the man, the way he moved and carried himself you immediately knew it was Bane. You did find it funny that Batman with all his fancy toys couldn't catch Bane or any of the men with him.

Why was the league at a stock exchange anyway? That's not really their style.

You ponder that as you're walking to work. It's getting too cold out. Today will definitely be your last day walking. 

Once you get to your floor you go get a hot cup of coffee to warm yourself up. Theo suddenly pops by carrying a newspaper. "I swear Theo if you are carrying a newspaper to show me a Batman symbol or anything Batman related I'm kicking your ass out of here."

He chuckles at you. "So fiesty this morning. Did you see the news about Bruce Wayne? He's poor like the rest of us now. I bet the guy doesn't even know how to wipe his own ass."

You let out a weird snorting laugh. It is Batman related but he doesn't know that. "I agree. But what are you talking about?"

He opens up the newspaper. There's a headline that says "Bruce Wayne doubles down and loses." He did some bad trading and lost all of Wayne Enterprises money and handed the company over to Miranda Tate. You're taking a sip of your coffee as you are glancing at it and see a picture. It's of Bruce Wayne and Miranda Tate. Except Miranda Tate is actually Talia.

You're so caught off guard by the photo you choke and spit your coffee out and it soaks the newspaper. "What the hell Annie? I wasn't done reading that."

Once you're done coughing and choking you wipe the coffee off your face. "Sorry, coffee was hot."

He walks away grumbling about having to buy a new one. You kind of tuned him out, busy with your own internal monologue. Well that explains the whole stock exchange thing. Maybe Talia wants to take everything from him before throwing him in the Pit? Maybe she'll fall in with him. Let's see her ass climb out a second time. It won't happen, but a girl can dream right?

It's still a little before your shift so you go down to Jonathan's room. He smiles bright, his eyes light up when he sees you. "Morning sweetheart." 

"Morning handsome." You give him a kiss before you sit down next to him on the bed. He sees the still wet newspaper you have tucked under your arm. "What do you have there?"

You hand him the newspaper, but he doesn't grab it right away. "I accidentally spit coffee on it."

He smiles and takes the newspaper. "Okay, why did you do that? And what am I looking at?" You point to the picture of Bruce and Talia. He looks at you questioningly. "I'm guessing it's not Bruce Wayne you're pointing at. So who is Miranda Tate?"

"Her real name is Talia Al Ghul."

He raises his eyebrows. "That's your evil half sister? What's she doing with Bruce Wayne?"

"I prefer cunty half sister, but evil works too. It seems her and the league are robbing Batman blind."

You never told him you knew who Batman was, and he never asked. You can tell the moment he realizes what you just said. He points to Bruce Wayne. "This rich pompous son of a bitch is Batman?! Are you fucking kidding me?!"

You laugh at his reaction. "Well he's not rich anymore. But yes Bruce Wayne is Batman."

Jonathan shakes his head and laughs. "Well I’ll be damned. Now I'm embarrassed that's who apprehended me. How did you know who he was?"
