UNSHACKLED

Bruce has mapped the entire mountain and has found many hidden routes around the League's base. Next, he went to the forbidden cave where the Lazarus pit resides. There were two pits, one was a lesser version that had already lost most of its power while the second one contained pure Lazarus water that had yet to lose its potency.

The glowing green water seemed mystical and Bruce could feel powerful energy radiating from it.

'Dionesium...' Bruce analyzed the water once again, 'In the end, it's just a liquid metal with special properties. A gift of life followed by the curse of insanity... But what if I manage to create a synthetic version of the pit? With this much water, I should be able to analyze and recreate the chemical structure in a lab.' As he thought deeply about how to make his next move, he sensed silent footsteps approaching him.

He glanced back and saw Talia walking towards him. She was still wearing her black robe which revealed a generous amount of cleavage.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Talia wrapped her hands around Bruce's neck from behind and whispered seductively in his ears while pressing her breasts against his back.

"What's your motive? Why did you manipulate Diana to sleep with me?" He ignored Talia's teasing and questioned directly.

"Because the poor girl is in love with you. What's wrong with helping her confess?" Talia replied innocently, "And besides, from what I heard, you already have two girls, so what difference would it make to have a couple more? Hmm?" She ran her hand under Bruce's shirt, feeling his muscles.

"Couple more, you say, huh?" He turned around, grabbed Talia's throat, and pushed her to the wall roughly. "Diana is a different matter. But you... Do you think I need women like you to satisfy me?" He leaned in closer as their faces were just a bit away from each other.

Talia gasped for air but instead of panicking, she smirked at Bruce's roughness.

"My, my, Bruce... Aren't you acting rough today?" She giggled, "If you want to fuck me rough, why don't you just do it? Huh?" Talia taunted Bruce provocatively, challenging him. Her palm was already grabbing his crotch, "I'm sure you got a lot of pent-up frustration inside you... Come, let it all out on me." She unbuckled his belt with one hand and pulled out his cock with the other. "Let's forget everything else and enjoy ourselves... Shall we?"

Bruce narrowed his eyes at Talia as she moaned a bit enjoying the rough treatment he was giving her. His choke wasn't too hard nor too light. It was perfect enough to restrict Talia's breathing but not enough to hurt her. She licked his lips seductively and Bruce loosened his grip. Talia breathed in deeply before wrapping her hands around Bruce's neck and pulling him closer to kiss him.

Their tongues intertwined in passion as Talia moaned softly. Bruce's hands moved down her waist until they reached her butt cheeks. He squeezed them hard earning a muffled moan from Talia who was busy kissing him hungrily. Then he lifted her robe up revealing her panty-clad ass. Grabbing her ass, he pulled her up and pinned her against the wall roughly.

Bruce broke the kiss leaving Talia gasping for air before moving towards her earlobe and nibbling it gently causing her to shiver lightly. Then he trailed kisses downwards until reaching her neck where he sucked it hard enough to mark it. She moaned loudly enjoying his passionate assault on her neck as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

He continued kissing and sucking her neck while groping her butt cheeks firmly.

Meanwhile, Talia rubbed herself against his bulging erection grinding her panty-clad pussy against it. Both were getting aroused due to intense foreplay as Bruce tore apart her panty and grabbed her bubbly buttocks tightly. Talia cried out loud when Bruce bit her collarbone marking her skin once again while squeezing her asscheeks roughly.

Bruce once again sealed her lips with his tongue and their tongues interlocked fiercely while both continued rubbing their lower parts together. Talia moaned and kissed Bruce back while massaging his broad shoulders lovingly as they made love passionately against the stone wall.

"Mummm~"

"Slurrpp~"

The couple moaned and kissed for quite some time until they were breathless and their faces red with lust. Talia could feel his throbbing erection pressing between her inner thighs making her wetter by every moment.

"Humm~" She looked at her nails and saw blood. Then her palm went over his back and she noticed the scratches on him. "Oh... Looks like I really did scratch you up. Why did you make yourself vulnerable to me? You do know that I'm an assassin who is after the position of the Demon Head, yet you... Should I call you stupid or trusting?" Talia looked deep into his blue-colored orbs, feeling extremely moved by the feelings of trust Bruce put in her.

'When's the last time I felt this way?' She was stunned by how she felt, 'Trust...' As an assassin who killed too many people and did too many inhumane deeds, Talia forgot the true meaning of the word 'trust'. She was a puppet without her own feelings. She did what her father asked of her without questions, like a living puppet. But for the first time, in 150 years, someone trusted her enough to be so close with her. She felt a weird clench in her heart. She felt fear, happiness, sorrow, loneliness... Countless emotions started to take form within her. She was confused... Afraid...

"I don't know. Maybe I'm stupid, maybe trusting..." Bruce answered Talia honestly, "But there's something about you that makes me want to keep you close to me. If you ask me what those feelings are... I honestly don't know either..." He stared deeply into Talia's emerald-green colored eyes and cupped her cheek with his right hand while holding her up with his left arm. He caressed her cheek lovingly, "Maybe I want to keep the uncaged bird all for myself...?" Bruce smiled mysteriously causing Talia to blush lightly before turning serious again.

She lowered her eyes and stared at his chest thinking deeply. 'Uncaged bird...? Keep me all for himself?' After Bruce killed Ra's, she became free. Free from the shackles of destiny... Free from the chains that bound her soul... Free to live her own life... And now, Bruce wants to keep her all for himself...?

Her eyes shimmered brightly as tears fell down uncontrollably. Talia buried her face on his shoulder and hugged him tightly while crying silently.

"Wait! Why are you crying? I didn't mean it that way. No worries, I won't turn you into a puppet or something like that. You are free to do whatever you want... I just..." Bruce panicked seeing Talia's reaction. He never expected her to cry like this after hearing his words. Did he say anything wrong? Was it because he was too blunt? He isn't good with these types of things after all...

'Shit! Why did I say that? What should I do now? Why is it so hard to deal with girls and their emotions? Creating an AI is a lot easier than this,' Bruce was freaking out internally while trying to comfort Talia awkwardly.

Seeing him like this caused Talia to laugh. She wiped her tears and looked at Bruce with teary eyes before smiling brightly like a flower blooming during spring.

"Hahahaha..." She burst out laughing, confusing Bruce even more.

"Why are you laughing? Wait... Are you messing with me?" Bruce narrowed his eyes at Talia suspiciously.

"You are too cute," She laughed heartily and hugged Bruce tightly once again, "Thank you... For letting me choose my own destiny..."

"Huh?" Bruce was dumbfounded by her actions.

"It feels great to be free... To decide my own fate... To choose my own path..." She pushed down Bruce on the rocky ground and saddled over his stomach. His cock was between her butt cheeks, "So, now, I'll choose my own man..." Talia leaned in and softly kissed his lips. It wasn't aggressive like before, but gentle and loving... Like a wife kissing her husband passionately.

Bruce closed his eyes and kissed Talia back while enjoying her soft lips and warm embrace.

Talia removed her black robe completely, revealing her athletic body and perky breasts to Bruce who marveled at her beauty.
