"Helena, we've got to get up," Barbara said when she saw the time. Her brunette lover had been unusually frisky for that time of the month and had jumped her not a moment after the elevator doors closed behind her wheelchair and dragged her to their bedroom for a series of lovemaking. They had not emerged from the room since, but daylight was fading slowly, and it was almost time for sweeps.
"No," said the lump at her side.
"It'll be sweep time soon, and I know how much you like to beat in a head or two." Barbara had hoped that this would entice Helena, but it had the opposite effect she had hoped for.
"All my frustration has been taken care of."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. Kid's been beggin' for a chance to grow out of her Huggies and prove that she's a big kid now, so I say let her."
"And who will watch over her?"
"God. Or Alfred. Same diff," Helena said, running her fingers over Barbara's abdomen. The older woman almost forgot what she was talking about as her skin began to tingle.
"Same... diff?"
" `Heard they used to play backgammon in the good ol' days."
"Helena-" Barbara started to say, but was cut off when the brunette kissed her. "Mmm," she moaned. "No fair."
"What? All's fair in love and war, my dear. Alfred can handle a little teasin'. If no, he knows what to put in my pancake batter to shut me up." Helena hovered over Barbara, her legs intertwined with her lover's. She looked into her eyes and kissed her as if to say `You're all the love I need somehow." Barbara fell into Helena as she always did, and she knew that even if the Joker had never shot her; she still wouldn't have felt her legs at that moment. She never thought that someone like her deserved this love or even that such an emotion was anything more than a trick to keep their species populated. They kissed until there was no air, and then Helena kissed her again. Barbara loved the feeling of being breathless, of being in love, and soon she forgot that anything else in the world existed.
Downstairs, a blonde teenager walked off of the elevator and turned right around at the sound of giggling from her mentors' bedroom. As the elevator doors closed, she took out her cell phone given to her as a gift, and dialed one of her speed dial number. "Alfred, looks like it is just the two of us tonight. After sweeps, can I crash at the Manor? Yes, lasagna sounds wonderful. See you in a couple of hours, and yes, I'll have homework to do...."
End.

Go on go on
Leave me breathless
Come on [echo...]
Hey... yeah...
The daylight's fading slowly
But time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I feel weak
I cannot lie, from you I cannot hide
And I'm losing the will to try
Can't hide it (can't hide it), can't fight it (can't fight it)
So go on, go on, come on, leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny
This loving feeling (loving feeling)
Make me long for your kiss
Go on (go on), go on (go on)
Yeah...
Come on
Yeah...
And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need somehow
It's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
And I never want to wake up
Don't lose it (don't lose it), don't leave it (don't leave it)
So go on, go on, come on, leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny
This loving feeling (loving feeling)
Make me long for your kiss
Go on (go on), go on (go on)
Yeah...
Come on [echo...]
[Guitar's solo] Yeah-ie, yeah, yeah-ie, yeah...
And I can't lie
From you I cannot hide
And I've lost my will to try
Can't hide it (can't hide it), can't fight it, (can't fight it)
So go on, (go on) go on, (go on), come on, leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny
This loving feeling (loving feeling) Make me long for your kiss
Go on, (go on) go on, (go on) come on, leave... me breathless
Go on, (go on) go on, (go on) come on, leave... me breathless
Go on, (go on) go on, (go on) come on, leave... me breathless
Go on... go on!
