Confessions
Terry had been giving this a lot of thought lately.

It weighted on him heavily, keeping his "double-life" a secret from Dana. On the plus side, it kept her safe, her not knowing. The con was that constantly showing up late for dates or just not plain showing up at all really had a toll on him. He could only come up with so many excuses, and he could only ask for Maxine to cover for him so many times.

Maxine had asked him if he really wanted to do it. If he really wanted to expose Dana to that part of his life. And he had given it a lot of thought. He did. He went back and forth between telling her and not telling her a million times in his head.

It was a big risk, but he could trust Dana. He knew that he could.

He texted her to meet him at a location where he knew they'd be safe from any possible threats. In his Batman costume, he waited in the shadows for her.

Dana got Terry's text message, and actually almost told him to forget about it. They hadn't had much time to themselves lately. Of course, anytime they tried to arrange a date, something always came up. She blamed his job. Mr. Wayne didn't seem to want her boyfriend to have a social life. Or a life in general.

Still, they needed to talk. She made her way to where he told her to meet him.

"Terry?"

	Terry inhaled. It was now or never. "Hello Dana," he stepped out of his hiding place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dana jumped. Batman? What the hell was Bamtan doing here? "Batman? Why the hell are you here? Where's my boyfriend?!" She knew that that Batman was supposed to be hero...but what if he had done something to Terry? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Actually....there's a good explanation for that." He took off his mask. "There's a good explanation for a lot of things I've done lately." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wait...what?" Dana blinked. Her boyfriend was Batman. Well...this certainly explained why he never got any sleep. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I understand if you're mad at me," he said. "I understand if you never want to speak to me again. I haven't been honest with you. But trust me when I say this, I only didn't tell you for your own safety." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not mad," she said. And she wasn't. She couldn't be mad at him. "I understand why you didn't tell me... But why? Why are you Batman, Terry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He owed her an explanation. "I started to get back at the people that killed my Dad," he said. "Gotham needs a Batman, Dana. I couldn't just...stop." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She didn't like that he was going out there everyday, risking his life like that. But he was doing it for the right reasons....and she wasn't just going to tell him to give it up.

"I'm not too crazy with knowing that my boyfriend is going out there, risking his life every night." She stepped forward, taking his hands. "But I'm going to be here for you.

I have to ask though Terry...does anyone else know? Your mother? Your little brother? Maxine?"

	He shook his head. "I can't tell Mom and Matt something like that. It's too dangerous. Telling you could actually come around to bite me in the ass, if we're not too careful. As for Maxine...I didn't tell her. She figured it out on her own." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, that sounds like Maxine. I understand you not telling your brother and your mom. And I won't tell anyone, Terry. You can trust me." She kissed him. "I love you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Terry kissed her back fully, pulling her close to him. He knew that he could trust her. "I love you too," he said when they reluctantly stopped kissing. He felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his chest. (Reply to this)(Parent)
