Please don't post smut in this thread.)<br/><hr/>Batman, for the first time since going public, actually chuckled. It was a strange, almost disjointed kind of chuckle—as if he wasn't quite sure how such a thing was done—but the humor in his smile was plain to see. It was a smile that had gone from dry and courteous to genuinely warm.<br/><br/>"Is that what they're saying now." It was less of a question, and more of a statement. He'd heard the rumors, of course. He knew what criminals whispered about him; what the public told stories of. It wasn't much of a surprise that some of his colleagues had begun to think along the same lines, but to have one outright ask? Even more, to express concern for his safety because of it?<br/><br/>This Starfire girl was going to be a much-needed breath of fresh air.<br/><br/>Of course, he knew how strange he must have looked. Batman's reputation often overshadowed his humanity—not that he ever made any effort to correct that. He could enjoy a laugh just as much as the next person, he just wasn't the joking type. The look on Wonder Woman's face was well-worth the shot to his reputation, though. In fact, it almost made him chuckle again.<br/><br/>"I'm not a vampire," he said, electing to let the smile stay on his face for once. "You don't have to worry."
