Wayne Manor, Gotham City
Dick was strutting and celebrating when the music was cut off.
“Hay!” Dick shouted.
“I understand that you had wonderful evening with Barbara,” Bruce said coldly, “But I am about to have a meeting with the doctors about Alfred’s life and prospects of recuperation.”
Dick deflated somewhat, then looked Bruce in the eyes.
“Bruce what would you say if I said I wanted marry Barbara?” Dick asked.
“About time, but not the best timing,” Bruce sighed, “Also you have Commissioner Gordon to deal with.”

Arrow Bunker, Star City
Helena watched Mia’s ass while drinking her coffee and enjoyed the rubber puppy between her legs under the table. Connor walked in wearing a red rubber thong and tee-shirt.
“Miss Huntress,” Connor said, “I see you took them up on their offer.”
“And what about you?” Helena asked.
“I need to do some more soul searching,” Conner pour himself a glass of water, “I am feeling things but I can’t quite articulate them yet. One thing is for sure, since Dinah went to visit you, those two stopped fighting. Sure they break things still, but that is when they are overcome with lust at a random moment.”
Helena reached under the table and patted the puppy on the head.
“So I take it you will be hanging out more often,” Conner said.
“I will be coming to visit quite often while permanent arrangements are worked out,” Helena said, “I need to be heading out soon to transport to class.”
“We are three hours behind the east coast,” Conner noted.
“Shit!” Helena shrieked!

“Oh, yeah… he is going to love being my love slave!”

The roads of Gotham City, Gotham City
The Rubber Queen rode shotgun while Tim drove, she was still disguised as Kari.
“Looking forward to the new apartment?” Tim asked for the bugs in the car, “Have you met anyone in the building yet?”
“There is a teacher on the top floor,” Kari responded, “She seems nice we should invite to dinner.”
“Teacher?” Tim asked.
“Miss Bertarelli,” Kari smiled, “That is how she introduced herself.”

Mary had slept late, the other two let her sleep in. Mary had wasted the last hour trying to find a pair of panties that didn’t cause her to itch, that was when she found a pair of black panties. They were odd, they had been stashed under her mattress in a ziplock bag covered in talcum powder. She figure what the heck, she couldn’t go around commando. She felt a weird thrill when she pulled them up.
And she liked the feeling!

Police headquarters, Gotham City
Commissioner Gordon walked in late in the morning, an artifact of having into the night. The secretary, it was a new one this week, rose to intercept him as he made his way into his office.
“Commissioner Gordon,” She said, “There is a Mr. Grayson is waiting for you in your office.”
“Oh lord help me,” Gordon said bracing himself before entering the office, “What are you doing here!?!”
“I am here to ask Mr. James Gordon for the hand of Barbara Gordon in Marriage,” Dick stood at attention in a three piece suit.
“GRAYSON GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS BUILDING BEFORE I HAVE YOU ARRESTED!” Gordon bellowed.
Grayson ran out the office door as Gordon reached for his service pistol.

Clock Tower, Gotham City
Barbara was dancing around the apartment in her latex leggings, halter top and sweatshirt. Her phone rang, she knew the theme to the old SWAT TV show meant that it was her father. She grabbed the phone and immediately tossed it on the couch in front of her.
“Calm down dad!” Barbara picked the phone back up, “stop screaming. What happened? Yes I did see Dick again last night. Why are you going to kill him?”
Barbara fumed for a bit as her father yammered about existential reasons to kill Dick.
“You haven’t answered my question…” Barbara said, “Look tell me now or I am going off to fuck him right now!”
“That little shit had the gall to come to my office to ask for your hand in marriage!” Gordon blurted.Barbara fell to the floor, sure she had been working towards this, but it was still a shock.
“Barbara?” Gordon asked.
“Yeah,” Barbara said, “Dad can I talk to you later?”

Martha Wayne Memorial Cardiac Clinic
“Well if you are satisfied with the care plan Mr. Wayne I think we are done here,” the lead doctor said.
“If this is what you feel is best, then I am sure it would be what Alfred would want,” Bruce said calmly, “Look we may not be biologically related, but Alfred has been my foster father for years. I just want what is best for him.”
“My best guess is that he will be fine by the end of next week,” the lead doctor said, “Oh, one last thing, about the MP3 player, I don’t oppose him listening to classical music but I would like to be informed before you bring equipment into the clinic.”
“What MP3 Player?” Bruce asked.
“You didn’t bring it?” the doctor said, “Well maybe one of you boys brought it, I have a Drake and Grayson in the visitors log.”
“Yes,” Bruce raised an eyebrow but was cut off by his phone, “Bruce Wayne, Tim. What? Steph’s mom asked? I want her to call me and ask if her daughter can stay in my house with her boyfriend, and don’t bother with a voice changer!”
Bruce hung up the phone only for it to ring again.
“Bruce Wayne,” Bruce answered, “Commissioner Gordon, I know Dick has been seeing Barbara. I haven’t personally seen her, but Tim, his cousin and girl friend had dinner with her last night. Look Alfred is in the hospital right now otherwise I would love to have a family din… Dick has mentioned the idea numerous times over the years… please don’t tell me you shot him… Arrest Warrant? Isn’t that a little extreme? What does Barbara have to say about this?”
The phone call ended and Bruce was about to call Gordon back when another call came in.
“Bruce Wayne, Crystal Brown…” Bruce answered the third straight call, “To be honest I doubted the request coming from the kids, but wouldn’t you? I would be happy to host Stephanie for a week, I can’t speak for Kari, but I am sure she would like to host Stephanie. Can I call you later Mrs Brown? Good bye.”
As Bruce hung up a fifth call came in.
“Dick,” Bruce answered, “I spoke with Commissioner Gordon. Frankly I am not surprised he has asked for an arrest warrant. It is his only daughter we are talking about. Look lay low and don’t go to Barbara’s apartment.”
The call ended and another call came in.
“Bruce Wayne?” Bruce didn’t recognize the number, “Cass. Look I want you to hack into the clinic’s camera footage. No don’t Barbara know you are here… She is in a compromised position along with Dick. I’ll explain later.”
Bruce hung up and waited for the phone to ring. When it was silent for five minutes he made his way to the elevator. Once inside Lucius Fox called.
