"You didn't have to come get the mail with me, Katie." Cherry smirked to her friend/sister as she came into the post office with her as she had the key to unlock her mailbox for her and her family.

"It's no problem; I wanted to come with you, get to spend more time with my Nee-bear." Katie replied with a smile.

The mail woman waved to them.

"Hey, Lana." Cherry said as she used her mail key to open the box and collect the mail.

Katie waved to be polite, not knowing Lana after all. Cherry checked the mail to see if there was anything for her, and to her surprise, there was, so she put that in her jacket pocket for right now, and then gave the mail woman Lana mail to send out into the world, they had a quick chat about her family before they soon left the post office and went back to the house. Katie followed, keeping up with Cherry's slightly longer strides.

"Am I going too fast again?" Cherry asked Katie as she tried to slow herself down.

"Just a bit." Katie chuckled, as she was the shorter one.

"I can't help it if I've got these long ballet legs." Cherry smirked playfully before she did a ballet kick away from Katie with her hands over her head.

"Great, tease the short arse." Katie groused with a smile to show she wasn't really angry.

Cherry stuck her tongue out playfully as she soon came back into the house and set the mail for everyone else down on the kitchen table while keeping the mail addressed to her for herself, but decided she would at least share it with Katie. Katie waited to see where Cherry would be headed and would follow her unless it was to the bathroom of course. Cherry landed herself on the living room couch and took a look at the letter and held out the envelope, showing it was addressed from one Alfred Pennyworth.

Katie came over and sat next to Cherry to look at the letter with her. "Alfred Pennyworth? What is Bruce Wayne's butler writing to you for, do you know him?" She asked curiously.

"Can you keep a secret?" Cherry grinned innocently. "I'm actually good friends with Bruce Wayne... He says I'm like the daughter he's never had."

"Awesome," Katie grinned back. "My 'going on a trip' senses are tingling." she then chuckled.

"When did you go from 'Kat Lady' to 'Spider Kat'?" Cherry teased.

Katie snorted as she tried to hold in a laugh to that. "In the airport, a radioactive spider bit me." she joked back.

"Ooh, get it away from me!" Cherry yelped, though in a joking way since there was no actual spider.

Katie chuckled. "So, come on, open up that letter before I do it for you." she then chuckled.

Cherry made a 'eh' noise to Katie before she took out the letter and saw that it was invitation from Alfred also from Bruce inviting her and a guest of her choice as long as they keep it a secret to come to Wayne Manor for a little visit.

"Told you my 'going on a trip' senses were tingling." Katie teased.

"So, you wanna come with?" Cherry rolled her eyes to that playfully.

"If you're inviting me, then yes, please." Katie smiled softly.

"Great," Cherry replied. "I know I can trust you, so let's hope that Bruce and Alfred also trust you."

Katie gave a smile. "Don't worry; I'll sign a contract in blood if I have to." she told her.

"You might have to..." Cherry partly joked, but also said serious. "I guess I better write out a response then."

"Alright." Katie said with a nod.

Cherry soon took out her laptop and began to type out a letter to send to Wayne Manor.

Katie sat and waited patiently. "Remember you can tell them I'll sign a contract if needed." she grinned.

Cherry glanced to Katie and decided to quickly add that in. Katie smiled and then returned to waiting quietly. Cherry then plugged her laptop into the printer in her mother's home office and printed out the letter, and soon wrote out an envelope and sent the letter back to Wayne Manor as a reply to Alfred's.

"Now we wait." Katie chuckled.

"Indeed..." Cherry replied. "Keep your eyes peeled for a limousine."

Katie looked excited at that thought she had always wanted to ride in a limousine. Cherry and Katie then went to packing for the trip as they would be going what seemed like rather soon. Katie hummed quietly as she packed, pushing up her glasses when they slipped down her nose.

"So, is there anything you'd like to know?" Cherry asked Katie.

"Uh, how do you know Mr. Wayne?" She asked her.

"...Friend of my parents." Cherry said, though it seemed to be made up on the spot.

"Truth please, I won't tell anyone." Katie told Cherry softly.

"All right..." Cherry sighed before taking a deep breath as she was going to confess something, but since she could trust Katie, she might as well tell her since it was unlikely for the other girl to spill the metaphorical beans about this secret. "You remember when I told you I had to visit my uncle that one week and I probably wouldn't be able to talk to you for a while?"

Katie thought back a moment, then nodded.

"Well... I was actually saving the day for Gotham City." Cherry replied.

"Ooh, did Batman introduce you to Bruce?" Katie asked.

"Well... Funny thing about those two..." Cherry sounded nervous again.

Katie winked, showing Cherry she didn't need to say it out loud. Unlike the people of Gotham, she easily recognized the similarities between Bruce and Batman.

"Do you understand?" Cherry wearily asked Katie.

Katie nodded. "And I won't tell a soul." she assured her.

"Thanks, Kat," Cherry replied. "This is very important to us... Especially for Bruce."

Katie nodded and gave a smile.

"Thanks, Kat." Cherry gave a small smile in relief before struggling to close her suitcase.

Katie zipped up her own then smirked and carefully sat on Cherry's to help the lid stay down so she could zip it up.

"Thanks." Cherry smirked back as she then zipped the case.

"Happy to help." Katie giggled.

"Now, we wait for our ride." Cherry smiled to Katie.

Katie nodded.


They didn't have to wait long as soon a limo pulled up in front of the house.

"There's our ride..." Cherry told Katie as they took their bags to the car. "Come along, Katie."

Katie lifted up her bag and followed Cherry.

Bruce Wayne stepped out of the limo and smiled as he noticed the girls, mostly smiling to Cherry though. "Here, let me help you both." he said, taking their bags almost like they weighed nothing.

"Thanks, Bruce." Cherry gave a small smile to the billionaire.

"Thank you." Katie smiled.

Bruce nodded. "You girls get in, I'll put these in the trunk then join you." he grinned.

Cherry nodded and then led Katie into the limo.

Katie looked around the limo interior in awe. "Wow." she breathed.

"You like?" Cherry smiled to Katie.

"It's awesome." Katie smiled before sitting down happily.

Bruce then joined them, before telling Alfred he could drive on now. Alfred smiled to Bruce and the girls before driving away from Cherry's house once the girls were settled in.

"Yeah, I love riding here." Cherry replied.

Katie glanced to Bruce and held out a hand so not to be rude. "Hello, I'm Katie." she introduced herself.

Bruce took her hand then brished his lips to the back of her hand, charmingly. After all, he didn't know she knew he wasn't truly a playboy and his 'alter ego'. "Pleasure, and of course, I'm Bruce Wayne." he smiled.

"This is Katie, a very good friend of mine, almost like a sister." Cherry told Bruce.

Katie smiled and then took her yand back from Bruce.

Bruce smiled back then looked to Cherry. "So I have another child?" He asked with a small tease.

"You could say that." Cherry smirked.

Katie sat back and watched the interaction with a soft smile.

Bruce chuckled. "Well, anyway, it's a pleasure for you both to come along to visit." he told them.

"Thanks for having us." Cherry said to him.

Katie looked out of the tinted windows with a smile. "Yes, thank you." she smiled.

Bruce smiled to them, thinking of plans to do with the girls.

"To the mansion, Master Wayne?" Alfred asked Bruce just to make sure.

Cherry smiled as Katie enjoyed the limo ride so far. Katie was almost like a puppy, but less movement. She was trying to etch this into her memory as she knew it was unlikely for her to see the inside of one after this trip.

"Yes, Alfred." Bruce told his faithful butler and pseudo-father figure.

Cherry looked over to Katie as they had a good ride.

"Of course, Master Wayne." Alfred nodded.

Katie glanced back to Cherry and smiled. Cherry smiled back to Katie. Bruce watched them, observing the two. Alfred drove along carefully to the manor for the girls to get inside and settle in. Cherry played on her phone after a while until the car would stop.
