Stately Wayne Manor...

Dec 06, 2006 12:06

The Aston Martin had pulled up and Selina had let herself out of the car. She knows that Bruce seems to like to open the door for her but she truly just, most days, would rather open up the damned door herself. And with the mood he seems to be in, as both of their moods can be mercurial, she has no real desire to sit around and wait.

Once she arrives in the manor, she pauses for a few moments, struck again by this house. There is such beauty here. Perhaps strangely, this place has always had a feeling of actually being a home than anywhere else she's lived. Except for the apartment with Holly. It was hell but it was home. Selina has no doubt that the feeling of home is entirely due to Alfred's influence on the place.

It is somewhat daunting to her, even still, that she is welcome here. She, Selina Kyle, cat burglar, ex-prostitute and general all around bad influence can just walk into this house and be welcome. Maybe some day she'll be able to explain why she continues to be amazed and astounded by that fact. Alfred says that Bruce's parents would have liked her. They are like shadows over him, even at the best of times and she can feel them too, sometimes, standing here.

It takes her a few moments to shake the feeling off of her and continue toward the stairs.

There will certainly be some interesting photos in the paper tomorrow. As well as a general awareness in the public of the ring on her finger.
