NO ONE'S POV:
Years Ago
(We see Y/N standing in front of the front door of his apartment.)
(Y/N): She'll understand, right? I mean, she's reasonable. [sighs] She's probably going to kill me for doing this but this is something I have to do.
(He opens the door & walks inside.)
(Y/N): Hello? Babe? You here?
Woman: I'm still here. I missed you this morning.
(Y/N): [chuckles] Yeah. Sorry about that, Helena. I didn't think it would take that long.
Helena: Didn't think "what" would take so long?
(She walks into the living room to see Y/N wearing an Army uniform.)
Helena: So, you finally signed your life away?
(Y/N): If you mean "enlisted" then yes.
Helena: Right. I forgot the word.
(Y/N): You're not mad?
Helena: Why would I be mad? It's not like we've had countless arguments over this, (Y/N).
(Y/N): Okay, you're mad.
Helena: [sighs] (Y/N). I understand that you want to be a hero. I really do.
(Y/N): If you did, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Helena: You're not Superman!
(Y/N): I know that--
Helena: You don't have superpowers.
(Y/N): That's pretty obvious, Helena. I don't need powers to make a difference in the world.
Helena: I just don't understand why you can't make a difference in our corner of the world, (Y/N). I mean, it's Gotham for Christ's sake!
(Y/N): I know I can make a bigger difference, Helena. Beyond Gotham.
Helena: I'm not going to be able to convince you, am I?
(Y/N): I'm afraid not.
Helena: [sighs] It was fun while it lasted.
(Y/N): What was?
Helena: Us.
(Y/N): Wait. We're breaking up?
(She leaves for their bedroom & he follows her to see that she's packing her clothes into a bag.)
(Y/N): So, just like that it's over?
Helena: Since you'd rather serve your country and fight in some war than be with me, yeah, just like that.
(Y/N): It's not like that, Helena.
(She gets done packing her clothes & walks up to him.)
Helena: I know it's not. I'm sorry I said that. But, (Y/N). You know I'm not the kind of girl that's going to wait around for someone.
(Y/N): That I do. Honestly, I was hoping I'd be the exception.
(She kisses him.)
Helena: No exceptions.
(She heads towards the front door & Y/N follows her.)
Helena: Promise me something?
(Y/N): Yeah.
Helena: Don't die.
(Y/N): I don't know if I can exactly promise that but, I promise.
(She gives him a light smile & walks out of the apartment.)
