The day was rather long and difficult but progress was bring made. Where there had been no movement whatsoever in his legs, Bruce had now been able to stand but not yet walk. He was even able to use crutches. He had regained control of his ankles and even some movement in his toes. It had taken him weeks of training, weeks of meditating, of treatment, of concentration- anything the monks threw at him to do so. It was exhausting but nothing had yet compared to the physical effort it had taken to get to the temple itself. Climbing up thousands of stone steps in the freezing cold Tibetan weather was no easy challenge but the monks would not take outsiders who simply jetted their way to the top- even if they were crippled.
He was anxious to return to Gotham. He missed his family. He missed Clark, Tim, Zatanna, Barbara, Alfred and even the dark depths of the bat cave. He felt incomplete, empty and without purpose and he had come to realize that what Rachel had told him was true. He had needed Gotham as much as Gotham had needed him. Presently Bruce was settling himself into a hard, cold bed with a great deal of difficulty. He was happy to finally get some rest after such a grueling day. He sighed against his wool bed sheets, not having the energy to lift them onto his body and closed his eyes.
Just as he was difficult off the sleep, however Bruce heard a soft popping noise that he instantly recognized. His eyes snapped open and he caught sight of a black haired woman with bright blue eyes in his bedroom. “Zee?!” he whispered, sitting up. “What are you doing here?! They’ll throw me out if I’m caught with a woman!”
