The Matrix/TDKR AU I know why you're here, Blake. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for Bane. I know because I was once looking for the League of Shadows. And when they found me, Bane told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us, John. It's the question that brought you to Gotham. You know the question, just as I did. What is the Matrix?

Happy birthday @marourin John's Instagram account Bear Selfies started out as a joke. People kept trying to take pictures with bears. (WTF people!) But soon, Everyone kept trying to get a picture with Bane. But John realised he didn't have that many pictures of his boyfriend. Bane didn't like posing for selfies. Soon, John had followers who found Bane's lack of selfie game hilarious. Hiding in the background of John's selfies with bunny ears on. Posing when it suited him which was never, ever, ever when John had his phone out. (Bear selfies. It's a thing. Don't do it. This is a service message from Bane and John and the brown bear who tried wrestle John for his wallet and car keys. Bears are just sneaky!)

John can't believe that Bane is helping him to defend Gotham against the darkness. But that doesn't mean Bane is easy to get along with. Sometimes (a lot of the time) John wants to strangle Bane. The man was so infuriating and egotistical. But John also started seeing the Bane hidden under the mask. The man who raised Talia. The man who believes in people even when there's nothing left to believe in.

John Blake can't believe that Bane invited him out for drinks but only wanted a soda. Talk about mixed messages. Grrrrr.

John’s not sure about this new guy at Wayne Enterprises. Bane. He has just one name like Prince or Madonna. It’s so pretentious.

And he wears this ridiculous mask. It should look hideous but John can’t stop staring at it. Why does Bane wear it? John’s checked Instagram. Face masks aren’t trending in #streetstyle or #ootd.

John’s frustrated about this mysterious man. Bane oozes self confidence. Possibly because he’s Wayne Enterprises top product manager after only a few months. When Bane motivates his team, they meet and beat all their projected numbers and goals. But probably the confidence comes from being able to benchpress a car without breaking a sweat.

Bane sits by himself at lunch sipping mysterious beverages out of a non-labelled can. Maybe it was a reusable can. Of course, Bane would be eco-conscious! God, the gall of this new guy.

John stomps over to Bane, furious, yet unsure what the hell he was doing or what he would say once he stood in front of Bane.

Bane looked up from his seat in the lunchroom. “Sit down, John Blake. I’ve been waiting for you.”

John and Bane met at a club down in the Narrows. John couldn’t stop staring at the masked man. How could you miss the massive muscled man staring you down in the club?

But John was intrigued. He’d heard stories about Bane. He was one of the top guys running the League of Shadows. Everyone knew the League of Shadows ran Gotham’s underground although no one really knew how they had become the top gang considering Harley Quinn and the Joker were still causing havoc and mayhem.

Could John really date Bane? How did one date the head of a criminal organization that was secretive and deadly plus... Bane was a masked killer. Could they really go on coffee dates? 

(Plus, would Barsad accept John?)

John is waiting for his friend on campus before heading to his next lecture. Selina nudges him. 

“See that guy over there... he’s watching you,” Selina smiled slyly at John. 

“Who’s looking at me?” asked John unconvinced. Seriously, there was a lack of bad boys on campus. John was tired of all the frat boys who wanted a quick shag in the washroom but weren’t ready to come out of the closet or the lacklustre guys he’d been meeting on campus so far.

John looked over at the library staircase. Who was that guy? He was huge! Ripped! And he was staring. John couldn’t look away.

Bane tries to keep John away from the fighting but John refuses to listen as he has already fought several of Bane’s men to get closer to him.
