Fic - More (Selina Kyle, Selina/Bruce) pg, 1/1

[abvj]

Title: More
Summary: She presumes, rightly so, that everyone wears masks. Hides in some way from what is lurking beneath the surface.
Rating: pg
Author's Notes: 400 words. Definitely not mine (although if somebody knows how much it costs to rent Bruce Wayne out from time to time, be kind and let a girl know). Movie-verse. Feedback is a lovely, lovely thing.

 

He looks like his father — handsome and made of money, with his expensive coat and combed back hair. He’s beautiful in that striking, manly way, and his smile — the rarity that it is — consumes everyone in its path; leaving weak knees, fluttering hearts, and flushed cheeks in its wake.

Men and women alike know that power behind that smile, behind that bumbling exterior.
Charisma oozes from his pores and like the money that seems to grow on the trees in his backyard he has an abundance of it. But there is something else she can’t place, something she can’t identify. There is a darkness in him somewhere, hidden behind the outer layer that shields everything beneath the surface.

She knows that outer layer all too well, of course, for she, too, has one of her own. She presumes — rightly so — that everyone wears masks, hides in some way from what is lurking beneath the surface. From themselves. From what they know is there, but refuse to acknowledge.

Some could say he is his father — some do even go as far as to say he is his father —but she knows better. Sees it, yes, the resemblance, but there is more, so much more. He lives by example, and while it is no secret to anyone that idolatry for his late father is indeed there, everyone knows that he is his own man.

A man who is destined to do great things.

His hand slides into hers, cool and soft at the touch.

“Bruce Wayne,” he greets, voice silky smooth, smiles and yes her heart does flutter. Knees are weak — but she, strong and as impervious as ever, does not let her cheeks flush. Does not show that particular weakness.

“Selina Kyle,” she smiles, sleek and impersonal and decides that that grin — the very grin he was giving her right then — just may be contagious too.

Electricity. Rightness. Smooth skin against coarse, paler flesh, calloused from holding pencils too long, making too much coffee. Excitement, and that shiver that runs up her spine, that spark in his eye, in eyes she knows somehow, tells her there is more to Bruce Wayne than what meets the eye.

Much, much more.

Very cute! Luved the way you described his whole persona from Selina's perspective. Will there be more?

[abvj.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I have no idea, really. But keep looking for updates, who knows!

Thanks for reading!

I enjoyed this. Nice job. :)

[abvj.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I fear there's probably a very, very long for that, isn't there? *sighs* He'd be so worth the wait, though, huh?

Thanks for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

I like this very much.

He’s beautiful in that striking, manly way, and his smile — the rarity that it is — consumes everyone in its path; leaving weak knees, fluttering hearts, and flushed cheeks in its wake.
*sigh*

I know this is based on Batman Returns but I couldn't help but see Christian and wonder who could they get to play Catwoman if they introduce her in the next movie. Oh, the possibilities.

To be quite honest, I wrote this probably two or three years ago, and it was based losely on "Batman Returns" but I have to agree with you. I read it now and I see Christian, not Michael Keaton and for some reason I have a inkling (or maybe just false hope based on a tiny statement from TDK) that Catwoman will be in the next movie, but still, all I see is Michelle. *shrugs*

Anyway, thanks for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I just *adore* this, the way Selina looks at him is perfect.

Thank you, bb!

Ooooh! Loved all of this! The description. The voice. But this bit? *glomps* Very nicely done!

Thank you! I'm glad it worked for you.

[abvj.livejournal.com]

That's alright! Thank you for reading, i'm glad everything worked so well for you.

Exquisite use of language :D This definitely left me wanting more. Are you going with "Mysterious Socialite" Selina Kyle? Comic Book Selina Kyle? Or something else?

[abvj.livejournal.com]

I wrote this one day after watchin "Batman Returns" so I guess you can say it's loosely based off that, but I think it has a bit of Mysterious Socialite Selina, too. In her own comic book series she's a CEO of a major company and I like the idea of her being somewhat on the same level, business wise, as Bruce. *shrugs* You can make it however you'd like, though.

Anyway, thanks for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

awesome. i so want to see catwoman in the next movie or in a future movie

[abvj.livejournal.com]

I do too. As a fan of the comic books and movies, I've always kind of had a soft spot for her, and deep down, I really do think that she was his true match. *shrugs* who knows, though.

Thanks for reading!

ooooooooooo that was gooood!

[abvj.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[bratalie.livejournal.com]

Now this is a couple I can get behind! I love this Gin!

[abvj.livejournal.com]

You and me both! I love them! Thanks for reading.

[bratalie.livejournal.com]

It was my pleasure. I need more. :D

[abvj.livejournal.com]

I just wrote another one, but it's kind of crappy. I was hopped up tylenol cold and benadryl when I wrote it. whoops.

[bratalie.livejournal.com]

Lol, whatever works. ;) I love the Selina Kyle/Bruce Wayne dynamic, and did you hear the rumors for the next Batman movie? People are saying that they may try and do Catwoman, which I really want. But the writers are denying it. XD

[abvj.livejournal.com]

I did hear that (and thought a little too much of Fox's "it'll stand up well against cats comment in TDK") but then I read an interview with Chris Nolan who said he didn't want to use villians previously used in the other batman movies. But then Two Face and The Joker were used in TDK, so.

Either way, I'm a geek and believe Selina/Bruce are 100% meant to be so I'd love to see her in the next one.

Tantalizing little ficlet!

[abvj.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Now that was hiiighly electric. I can only imagine what goes on in Bruce's mind, but it must be equally intriguing.
*purrs delightfully*

Also, suspect Catwoman have already stolen Bruce from us all, so renting him should be futile ;)

[abvj.livejournal.com]

Everything between these two is electric, so I'm glad it translated through the words.

And yeah, she probably has, but a girl can't help but dream, can she?

[goddessa39.livejournal.com]

Hm... I like it though I wish there was more. And I thought from the summary it would be him thinking how she thinks. Oh well. Like it.
