I've decided to call the story Toxic because the new villainess will be Poison Ivy! And without further adew here is the new chapter!

It had been about three months since the Riddler had be plagued the city and two months since Faye and Bruce had decided to home school Grayson.

Grayson was quite a handful and had decided that he was going to deal with his parents death, by acting out, or at least that was what Faye assumed. Grayson after all was a smart kid from what she had discovered. He would just rather spend his time getting arrested for small robberies are buying alcohol when he was a minor, or totaling the Ferrari, which he had decided he would go speeding around the city in.

Needless to say he had some issues to sort out. Bruce seemed to empathize with Grayson, he understood what it was like to be going through what Grayson was going through.

"Bruce where's Grayson?" Said Faye they were just about ready to go to yet another charity function.

"He said he was going out with some friends."

"And you let him? He's supposed to be grounded!"

"He looked like he needed to blow off some steam you can't just keep him locked up in the house all the time."

"Bruce, we've been over this before, I've dealt with kids his age all the time. It's a vulnerable stage in his life, kids his age easily go down the wrong path and sometimes they can't go back. He could be committing another felony as we speak and I don't know about you but I'm tired of having to visit Gordon for the second time in one night."

"He just needs something to keep him busy."

"I know, he does, that's why I tired to get him to join the gymnastics team when he was at school."

"He can't join the gymnastics team do you want people to make fun of him?"

"Yes it is a little strange, but he was an acrobat in the circus he would have been good at it." Said Faye taking the earring she had just put on off and heading for the door.

"Where are you going we have to be at that function in like 30 minutes?"

"Bringing the kid I'm legally responsible for home."

"You can't go walking around in the middle of the night in an evening gown. Plus he won't listen to you when he's with his friends, remember last time when that one kid pulled a gun on you."

"I do and then Grayson did the right think and told him to put it down. But you don't have to worry I'm not going to get him and I won't be wearing a dress, this sort of occasion calls for a suit." Said Faye with a smirk before heading for the study.

Bruce was right behind her. "I'm not so sure that's a good idea."

"Look, you go to the benefit, I'll go get Grayson drop him off at the station have Gordon call you and then you can pick him up. I'll beat you guys home and well just say I was feeling tired so I decided to sleep."

"Just be careful alight?" He said giving her a quick kiss.

"I'm facing 17 year old boys; I think I'll be fine." Said Faye with a smirk before hitting the keys on the piano and heading down into the secret passage way. After changing and getting into her car she drove off into the city.

"They better damn well listen to me now." She muttered to herself as she headed for The Narrows. She parked the car in an alley and got out. She decided it would be best to start in the back alleys after all Grayson's newest group of friend looked like they might work for the mob. The younger members who were not very high up usually spend their time in places like this. She found a group of older looking men in the first alley she searched.

"Can any of you tell me where I might be able to find a kid who calls himself Grayson?"

The men turned and looked most of them looked scared out of their wits but one of them didn't and he said "A kid eh? Looks to me like you need a man sugar." He said looking her up and down.

"Hey, man I wouldn't mess with her. She's one crazy bitch." Said one of the men that looked rather scared of her. He looked somewhat familiar and she recognized him as one of the men she had knocked unconscious when it was her first night out as Batwoman.

"Didn't I tell you friend not to say things like that?" She said with a smirk.

"Ah, yeah, look I haven't seen anyone like that around here."

"You better not be lying." Said Faye before disappearing into the shadows and heading back to her car.

She then drove around the Narrows for about an hour until she saw a group of young teenagers kneeling in from of a building with what looked like stray paint.

"Well at least it's not as bad as last time." She thought to herself before stepping out of the car and approaching them.

"Are you boys sure that's a good idea?"

They all jumped slightly because they had not heard her approach. They then turned around.

"Damn." Said one of them after getting a good look at her.

Faye chose to ignore the comment. "Just put the paint cans down and go home."

"Doesn't Batwoman have worse criminals to deal with then a couple of guys with spray paint?" Said Grayson smugly.

"Yes, but I can spare a feel minutes to tell you lot to go home. Your parents wouldn't want you doing this."

"Yeah well my parents are dead."

"Doesn't mean you still don't have people who care about your well being. Now I've called the cops so you have two options you can either leave or stay here and be arrested." Said Faye this caused most of the group to scatter except Grayson. "Do you want to get arrested?"

"You didn't call the cops."

"What you don't believe me?"

"You don't have a phone, or at least your partner doesn't, I know he had to steal mine. So basically I know there's really nothing you can do about me standing here."

"Oh watch me." She said grabbing him by the hood of his jacket and then throwing him into the car.

"Hey, what the hell!"

"I'm taking you to the police station one Mr. Wayne will pick you up there."

"How do you know I live with the Wayne's?"

"I read the papers. When you live with one of the riches families in the world everyone is bound to know everything about you." Said Faye trying not to laugh at the irony of that statement. The rest of the short drive there they didn't say anything. Once at the station Faye opened the door and shoved Grayson out. She waited until he walking into the station before driving off.

Once inside Grayson was about to turn around and leave when Detective Ramirez stopped him.

"Let me guess, you've done something you weren't supposed to again?"

"This time I didn't, I swear."

"I'll call Mr. Wayne, you wait here." She said leaving the room before returning to keep an eye on him until Bruce arrived.

"You're supposed to be at home, you were grounded." Said Bruce once he arrived.

"You said it was okay to go out."

"I also didn't know you were grounded. What did you do this time?"

"Nothing." Said Grayson as they walked out to the car. Bruce looked at him skeptically. "Look man I was just out minding my own business when Batwoman threaten to call the cops on my friends and then threw me in a car and dragged me here."

"And your sure you weren't about to do something bad?"

"Okay…maybe I was but that's not the point. Don't I have a right to out of the street at night, she can't tell me what to do, even if she is extremely hot…" Said Grayson and Bruce began to clear his throat a lot and said "Alright lets talk about something else."

"Not to mention that car was sick."

"What did it look like?" Said Bruce glad to not be talking about his wife with her ward. If Grayson only knew who was behind the mask, he might not be saying some of that.

"It must have had a silencer on the engine you couldn't even hear it coming. It looked like a modified European sports car. I couldn't tell the type but that engine must be awesome."

"You know a lot about cars?"

"Yeah, I used to fix old cars we found in random towns and sell them for money."

"Why don't you do that again?"

"It was something me and my dad used to do." Said Grayson in a tone that suggested he did not want to discuss it further.

"Oh."

"Hey where's Faye, isn't she usually hear to lecture me all the way home."

"She was tired and wanted to get some sleep. You know she's only tough on you because she thinks your better than the why you are acting."

"I know she tells me like every lesson."

"You know it's only been three months since her accident you could try and be a little nicer to her. She didn't have to do all of this for you."

"Yeah, whatever." Said Grayson putting on his head phones. Once they got to the house Bruce pulled into the driveway.

"What aren't you getting out?" Said Grayson.

"No I have to go do some things at work."

"Alright." Said Grayson getting out of the car and heading into the house. Little did he know Bruce wouldn't be driving very far away, just over to a certain cave.

"Hey Alfred." Said Grayson greeting the butler.

"In case you are wondering Master Grayson, Mrs. Wayne is in the study I believe she wants to have a word with you."

"Of course she does." Said Grayson heading for the study.

"I thought I told you, you were grounded." She said when he entered the room.

"Yeah, I know."

"I don't want to have to keep locking you up in the house but I just don't want you to choose the wrong path."

"I'm not I'm only hanging out with those guys to see what anyone know about The Joker."

"You don't want to go looking for a man like him Grayson."

"He killed my parents! Hell he even killed my aunt, wasn't she your best friend. So friend you are not even trying to avenge her death!"

"Killing him won't bring them back Grayson! Don't you dare say such things you can't even begin to understand what it's like. I've faced him before Grayson and he's not easy to kill."

"You faced him once in a building full of people and then Batman had to save you after you got shot. I'm not going to be as dumb as you and go into a fight unprepared."

Faye very much wanted to shout a number of things at him. She wanted to tell him she had fought The Joker a few times, but she knew she couldn't. "We'll talk about his later when Bruce gets home."

"Fine." Said Grayson leaving the study.

Alfred came in right after he left. "Is everything alright Mrs. Wayne?"

"Yeah, Alfred it's fine. I just, sometimes I hate having certain secrets. I tell you that boy needs discipline. I should fine Ra's and let him teach the boy a lesson then he will realize what it takes to be able to fight The Joker."

"Except Ra's would probably let him kill The Joker."

"He just needs a mentor, and an outlet for all his aggression…I think I have an idea, Alfred." Said Faye with a smile.

"Why do I have a feeling I'm not going to like this idea Mrs. Wayne." Said Alfred shaking his head.

Review please!
