4: A Secret
Sarah was at work. She could barely stay awake. Down below she was still achy and she barely move. Luckily she sat a desk and do computer work like Sophie. Sophie leaned back noticing Sarah dropped her head in her hands and made soft snore sounds.
"Wow..." Sophie muttered to herself.
She then managed to cover for Sarah for a couple of hours, so her friend could at least get a little sleep. Once she woke up, Sophie scooted closer to her on her chair.
"What's going on, did you not get any sleep last night? I thought if we had the kids for the night then you'd be able to get some rest."
"...well...I asked Buggy why he was acting weird...he told me he still had feelings for me like when we first met him...soon he was really drunk...he licked my face...starting touching me...and the next thing I knew ...we had sex...like...18 times..." she blushed.
Sophie almost spat her coffee out, instead she choked it back and coughed.
"Ohmygod!! No wonder you're tired! 18 times... is he super human?? And what does this mean now for the two of you?"
It's a secret...we are just...friends with...benefits. Because I don't know how the kids would feel. Especially Faith. If she finds out, she would be heartbroken. Her and Arthur were very close."
Sophie nodded, "it would be hard for Faith to accept. But, at least it was just sex and there's no messy feelings involved. I think it's great you had fun, but maybe don't do it again. If he has a crush he could end up falling for you and he'll get hurt. Because you can't be together and you're not interested in dating Buggy."
"...yeah...he also isn't interested in dating either."
After work, Sarah rode the bus on her way home. Once her stop came, she walked the rest of the way, but was unaware that a man was following her. She then sensed someone was following her, so she turned to look.
She saw a man walking a ways behind. He was wearing a hat which he pulled down slightly to try and hide their face.
Sarah now felt uncomfortable. God now was telling her to just keep walking home and go faster. She started of slowly walking, then fast walking. Once she felt he was close, she book it fast home. "BUGGY!" She screamed once she got home. She banged on the door while looking around the street to see if the strange man was around.
Buggy was at the door within seconds, he opened it and pulled her inside "what's wrong, Sarah?" he locked the door, sensing something outside had spooked her. She was shaking and almost tearing up.
"Someone was following me."
She peeked out the window carefully and saw the same man again. "Him," she whispered to Buggy.
Buggy peeked through the blinds and frowned. He held his phone up and took a picture, "I'll find out who this creep is. If the kids weren't here I'd go out there right now and introduce a bat to his face."
"Something tells me...he looks too human. Like he shouldn't be..."
"You think he's wearing some kind of glamour potion, to change his appearance? Like the one my dad made me years ago so I could look normal. I will ask him what he thinks."
Buggy then messaged Gold and sent the picture to him for his opinion.
"Are you okay though?" He took her face in his hand, looking at her worriedly.
"Yeah...just shaken up, I almost slipped on ice on the way, but either than that I'm ok."
Buggy got a voicemail and sighed so he tried to call his step-sister Meg.
When Meg answered Buggy didn't waste any time, "Hey Megs, is dad there? I need to speak with him. He's not answering his phone again."
"Uhhh....yeah, but he's unconscious. I just got here. His shop is ransacked, and I found him like this, I was just about to call 9-1-1."
"WHAT?! Seriously?? Okay call 911....ill get off the phone" he then hung up and called Cabaji
"Cabaji, I need you and Jackson to head on over to my dad's shop, check the security footage and look for clues. Someone broke in and we think they did it to get a glamor potion. Sarah was followed today. I'll send you his picture and I want you guys be looking for this creep, alright?"
"Of course, captain."
"Thanks Cabaji. Speak later."
Buggy would usually be out there doing this type of thing himself, but he wouldn't leave Sarah by herself with the kids. Not when she'd been shaken up like that.
Sarah could see him shaking, so she went to him and hugged him tightly. "I'm ok, I'm just glad you're here."
Faith came out holding her Joker doll and holding Hope's hand who also was carrying her Buggy doll.
"Ba Ba...," Hope babbled to him.
Buggy chuckled "here's two of my most favorite girls....," he swooped down and picked Hope up, "how's my little Squeaky...," he blew a raspberry on her cheek.
Hope then squeaked her giggles and grabbed his nose and made squeak noises. Her way of saying honk honk.
Faith came to Sarah, "you ok, mom?"
Sarah smiled slightly and hugged her, "I'm fine."
Lucy, Jr, and Binky the came in. Lucy and Binky tackled their father in a playful way.
Buggy fell down, still holding Hope safely as Lucy and Binky pretended to be beating him up, it made them giggle when he played along and made noises and movements like it was real. Jr also then ran into the room laughing and joined in.
"Hope is gonna save the day any minute now and defeat you all," Buggy had a fake evil laugh, "uh, whenever you're ready, Squeaky. You're supposed to be saving me!"
Hope just babbled happily and booped his nose, smiling, which made all the others laugh.
Faith then went to her little brother and cousins and helped her uncle. He chuckled and took his hat off and placed it on her head.
"But I want the hat, daddy! I'm a real pirate!" Lucy pouted.
"I got you your own hat and you lost it at the zoo, remember when you gave it away to that monkey?"
Lucy turned pink and nodded, "but I need a new one."
"And I'll get you one, my little starfish, so long as you promise not to give it away to some random animal."
"But the monkey was sad, it reminded me of Auntie Sarah's pet monkeys."
Sarah dropped her head. Before Arthur and her got married, George and his little brothers Chimpy and Mickey sadly passed away, naturally. They were getting old and couldn't do much of anything anymore. Gorge was the last to pass, even though he was the oldest. Sarah had him the longest and was hurt that one of her good old dear friend she had since a little girl passed away.
"Well that was sweet of you to care, seashell," Buggy ruffled her hair. He then looked to Sarah and noticed she looked sad.
He smirked playfully and his arms detached and playfully wrapped around her, pulling her down onto the floor with the rest of them, "gotcha!" he booped her nose as Faith and Jr then jumped on her happily.
(Starfish is cute for her tho)
Sarah then giggled. She missed this. Arthur was always playful with her and he kids together. She was glad Buggy could do the same...as if...Arthur's heart was part of Buggy now.
After dinner, Sarah was tucking her kids to bed, she kissed Jr on his forehead goodnight. And tucked him in. She then tucked Faith in and they prayed together. She then kissed ontop of her head goodnight.
"Mom?"
"...yes?"
"...you still miss Daddy?"
"...yes. He was very important to me...just like he was to you." Sarah then smiled, "you know, right after I gave birth to you, and the doctors handed you to your father...you didn't want him to let you go. You held onto him when the doctors had to clean you up. But you didn't want to let your father go. That moment...I just knew you would be a daddy's girl. He won't leave you, honey...he's your guardian angel now." She smiled brushing a strand of hair behind Faith's ear.
Faith sniffles and teared up, nodding, "but it's okay for us to still....laugh....because when I feel happy I always feel guilty. Like I'm Forgetting about dad. But I'm not. I never would."
"Your dad would do the same thing. You both are very similar. You both even have the same laugh." She pulled her into a hug. "It's ok, honey, I sometimes feel guilty too. So does Uncle Buggy. But we will see your father and your aunt again." She kissed ontop of her head and set the Joker beside her. "Goodnight, and don't worry. Daddy will watch over you. He always does."
"Goodnight mommy, I love you" Faith smiled.
Sarah smiled back, "I love you too."
Hope had already gone down and was sleeping soundly in her crib. Jr and Binky were in bed, but Buggy knew they Kept giggling and talking because he'd been in twice to tell them to go to sleep.
Buggy sat on the floor in Lucy's room, braiding her hair. He knew once he'd finished she'd insist on doing his too. She was hyperactive just like her mother and always the last to fall asleep.
Sarah was waiting for Buggy laying in her side of his bed, soon he came in quietly. He then chuckled softly.
"Well, this is a surprise. Don't tell me, you're feeling lonely and you'd like a strong pair of arms to hold you all night long?"
"Well...yeah," she blushed, shyly.
Buggy nodded and slowly pulled his shirt up, exposing his abs and then chest, very slowly before he finally pulled it off.
Sarah blushed looking up at him. He then smirked and then he crawled ontop of her. He ran his thumb on her lip and she blushed up at him.
"Sh*t we have a problem, Sarah. I thought last night was just a one night only thing? But I really want to do it again," he pouted slightly.
She blushed more at him, "Heh...can't have enough, huh?"
He chuckled, "actually I heard you were so tired you were falling asleep in work today. So you need to get some rest," he kissed her forehead and rolled onto his side of the bed. He then took off his pants so he was just wearing boxers, "will
you let me hold you?" he asked, wrapping his arm around her and nuzzling his nose into the back of her neck.
"...," Sarah blushed and giggled, softly. She also missed being held by Arthur. She then rolled facing him and rested her head under his chin and snuggled close. "Yes...night..."
He smiled happily as he held her close, "I'm taking you to work tomorrow by the way. And I'll be picking you up. You're not traveling by yourself," he then kissed her cheek, "Goodnight, Sarah."
"....I love you..."
"...I love you too," he whispered back holding her close. He watched over for awhile until he fell asleep.
When Buggy woke early the next morning he was laying on his back and Sarah was asleep with her head on his chest. He smiled to himself and held her tightly.
She even was running her fingers on his chest as she slept on him. She was still dreaming of her and Arthur.
Sarah was hugging onto a light see through being tightly as she cried. For that was a figure of Arthur. "I miss you. I should've saved you...you shouldn't have done what you did..."
"I did what I did because I love you. I didn't want the children to loose their mom, or for you to loose your time with them. Please don't keep blaming yourself for what happened, Sarah," Arthur replied, "and I miss you too, but it's okay for you to live again. If you loose yourself to grief then it's a waste of your life, and my sacrifice would've been in vain. So make it count for something, Sarah. Keep living your life."
"...," Sarah then nodded, "I just wish I could've done more...I just miss you much and the kids do too. It's so hard without you."
"It's hard without you and the kids too. But I'm not alone, I'm with mom. It's peaceful here, I like it. Kiss the girls for me, and Jr. I love you all and I always will."
"...I will...and...please tell Beth that auntie loves her."
(Beth is a oc, she is Sarah's sister's daughter. She passed away before she was born)
Arthur nodded, "of course. And Harley misses Buggy and the kids. Tell him that, will you?" he then kissed her softly and faded into a bright light.
Sarah then woke up seeing Buggy looking at her and then booped her nose. She blushed up at him.
"You were crying in your sleep...," he then said softly and wiped beneath her eyes with his thumbs, "....and you were saying Arthur's name. I'm sorry," he gave her a gentle squeeze, "I know it's still so hard and raw. We all still need time to heal."
"...I know...I'm just glad...I got to see him...one more time. But I still wish I could've done more. I managed to stop both The Joker and Arlong in two massive blows...and yet I wasn't strong enough to save him? But...I bet you felt the same way."
"Of course I feel the same way. I can split my body into pieces. I should be indestructible. And the one time my Harley needed me and I let her down, all because of a few splashes of sea water. She was always so tough though. I loved that about her. The problem was I overestimated her strength. I thought she could stand up to any foe. How wrong I was," he looked down.
"....," she held his face and caressed his cheek gently, "we are all we have left of them...and the kids. They would want us to be happy. I told Arthur I would never date or remarry, but he insisted if this ever happened...I don't know if I should...but...I might be...falling for someone."
Buggy sensed it was him she was talking about. Who else?
"Well, my mom always said you know once you're falling for someone because there's that "zing" between the two of you when you're together."
"...I had with Arthur...but I might be...I feel safe and loved and cared like Arthur did to me when I am with you." She then tapped his nose gently.
"You do? I'm glad you feel that way with me. But it's not the same as you getting butterflies around me," he rubbed his nose against hers then gently kissed it.
She giggled, "I hope I get that." She held his face and kissed him deeply. Luckily the kids would be taken to school now by Cabaji and Jackson so they had nothing to worry about.
Buggy kissed her back deeply and his hands slid down to her waist, "can't you take the day off work today."
"Or you can speed it. It looks like I don't have to go for 2 hours." Sarah giggled.
"Speed it. Speed what?" He asked, looking confused.
"Having sex," she booped his nose.
Buggy fake gasped, "you want sex. Again? I wasn't even thinking about sex," he joked, teasing her, "I'm starting to think you like it don't you."
Sarah knew he was teasing and giggled, "oh sure, Captain Buggy."
He then dropped his smile and looked at her serious "look, I know I'll never replace Arthur or be as good as him, I wouldn't even try to... but if you want to keep your eyes closed....so you can think of him, I understand..." he brushed her hair behind her ear and kissed her cheek.
"...ok," she then kissed his nose.
Afterwards, Buggy dropped her off at her work, she blushed smiling at him when he cupped her face. She then leaned in and kissed his nose. Even though he was using an illusion spell.
He smiled and gently brushed his thumb over her lips as he looked into her eyes, "hope you have a good day at work, baby. I'll be right here to pick you up once you finish"
Sophie came and stood waiting for her by the door, as Buggy had messaged and asked her to. Sarah blushed and hugged him happily. She then kissed his cheek. "Thank you."
While at work, Buggy stood in his truck with the potion beside him when he noticed a suspicious truck pulled over on the other side of the road.
He took out his cell phone and called up Cabaji "Hey, there's a truck parked over the road that is giving me bad vibes. I want you to get some of the boys to check it out. But first, take down their registration....it has Gotham plates, and it looks familiar."
Once Cabaji said he would, Buggh took a picture of it and sent it to Cabaji.
He then took a deep breath and dialed the number of Sarah's uncle Bruce. He knew Bruce had never really liked him and wasn't too happy over Sarah living with him, but what he had to say was more important.
"Master Wayne residents?" Alfred spoke.
"Hi Alfred, I really need to speak to Mr Wayne. It's about Miss Sarah."
"...oh Mr Wayne is in a business meeting, but if this is important I can give you his number...or if it's a emergency, Master Damien can help."
"I would say it's definitely an emergency regarding Miss Sarah's safety."
Alfred called for the teenager to come to the phone so Damien came to answer, "hello?"
"Hey, Damien, this is Buggy the clown, your cousin Sarah lives with me, I was Arthur's brother. I'm worried for her safety. Somebody is stalking her and now there's a suspicious truck parked near my place of work. It's not a coincidence. I'm going to need help keeping her safe."
"...I know who you are, Buggy, I went with your folks and Arthur to meet you. I was the kid Robin. But I see, I will come and check them out."
He then hung up and left as Robin to check out the truck.
Work was over and Sarah came out and Buggy took her home, but the truck followed them. Buggy locked the doors and put his foot down on the gas, noticing the truck behind them, "we need to take a detour," he said, resting his hand on hers, "don't panic, okay."
She nodded him. She held onto his hand.
He then called Cabaji, "Cabaji, code red, let Jackson and the boys know, and you and the crew, and Damien, let him know. I'm going to head towards the police station in downtown Gotham. I want all of you, and I mean ALL of you to meet us there!"
Cabaji took his orders and told Jackson, they round up Joker's henchmen and the Big Top crew and they got in their suvs and waded to the police station.
Robin was following the truck. He sneakily got on board of the truck and placed a tracker on it just incase their plan failed. He even placed a Bluetooth on it so they would hear the intruders. Then he used his grapple gun to swing himself away from the truck. Once he got down, he got on his motorbike and drove to the police station. And yes exactly what he thought, the truck turned and stopped following Buggy and Sarah.
Buggy came to a stop outside the police station and all the other SUV's pulled up around them. Jackson and Cabaji came to the window and Buggy rolled it down.
"Well, looks like they.—" Jackson stopped, noticing Buggy holding Sarah's hand. He looked at Buggy and he blushed slightly
"Yeah they left once they realized we were heading here. But now what?" He turned to Sarah, "would you feel safer spending the night at your Uncle Bruce's place?"
"...," Sarah then squeezed his hand, "maybe the kids should, but I don't want to leave you alone..."
"Don't worry," Robin came and took his helmet off, "I figured they pull something like this, so I put a tracker and Bluetooth on their vehicle."
"And that's why they call you the boy wonder," Buggy grinned, "Robin, I could kiss you, but I won't, because I'm not gay, but you're a genius! So, you guys escort us home, Jackson can take the kids back with Damien, to Wayne manor, and I want lots of the boys standing guard around my place tonight, I'm not taking any chances."
Everything was in order. The kids were taken to Bruce and Sarah stayed with Buggy safely.
