Futureknight universe. Wayne Manor the morning after Batwoman's first mission.

The sun shone softly through sheer curtains, illuminating though not touching the two figures that lay on the bed, one under and one on top of the blankets. Black hair contrasted with white pillow linens, and soft breathing made slight movements.

Brenda snapped to wakefulness, then frowned without opening her eyes as she realized there were arms around her. She listened, then sniffed before moving experimentally.

Time Pass

Porthos panted. He was trying to keep up, but he was no runner, and Brenda had long since dissappeared. He had no idea where he was going, only following the footprints in the ground and the scuffled leaves, sweat pouring down his face, and the ridiculous clothing that servant had put him in soaked in sweat. He was exauhsted, dehydrated, and humiliated, and finally he gave up, stopping and leaning against a tree, struggling for breath.

"What a foold she'll think me," he panted, leaning over. "But why? I'm a pirate and horseman, no runner."

Then she was back, looking as though she'd only gone for a light stroll instead of a twelve mile run, frowning in concern as she put a hand on his back and offered him her water bottle.

"I'm fine," he coughed, but accepted the water, blushing even under his already red face.

She gently helped him to stand upright, those icey blue eyes showing concern. "I should have thought. You probably ride a lot more than you run."

He chuckled.

"Yes, and sail," he siad. "But it's fine... erm, it's the weather. I'm used to ocean air, heavy with hseaspray and salt. This air's thin, you know?"

"Let's start back." She pushed an escaped tendril of hair away from his face, then turned toward the house.

He smiled, then shrugged. "If you need to rest, sure," he said, leaning back and cracking his neck.

She gave him a gentle smirk over her shoulder. "The gym's at the house. I want to do the rest of my workout; train a little."

"Train for what? Your galavanting through abandoned buildings late at night?" he smirked.
