Okay, so here is the first chapter of a new story, starting with baby Richard and his first birthday party. Lots of fun involved, of course:D

Chapter 1: Richard's first birthday party

"Who's daddy's little boy?" Sean skips excitedly into Richard's nursery, ready to take the little boy out-

Wait, Sean? Yes, Sean. He decided to stay at the Manor. The reason is a long story but it involved a hairbrush, psychological warfare, shower water that turned from hot to cold, a few really fast blocks around Gotham, Ranch-sauce threat, Elk hooves, very wild unicorn rides, locked up in a room with two very dumb kids, threat of helping two cops in lycra with their training, a needle, listen to two boys discussion about inventing a new sport, and baby hugs.

Sean halts his merrily skips mid-air and gasps in shock. Richard's cot is empty. With two long leaps Sean dashes to the cot, finding a letter saying; The cat wants to play with her kitten.

Sean's face slowly turns murderous. Everyone in the Manor knows that Sean wanted to take a stroll today, with Richard. But no, the Cat had to steal the 'kitten'. Ugh. Sean stomps angrily through the door and up to his own room where he changes his 'normal' clothes to his street clothes. If the Cat thinks she can do this, she's badly mistaken.

A few minutes later Sean stomps through the study where he hears angry screams and shouts of aggravated insults coming from the newly found cave. Obviously, Bruce still couldn't crack the code.

A few days earlier…

This is Gotham. It's ten days West of loneliness and a few miles East from getting soaked. It's located solidly on the island of misery. MY CITY. One word; 'crowded'. It's been here for generations and it was a nice place to grow up, but the mob soon took over the streets and turned the city into the most horrible place to grow up. The only upside of this city is the charming view of sunsets. Well, if you have the nerve to stand on a rooftop of a very tall building, otherwise the fog will block your view.

Most places have mosquitoes, but we have criminals. Most people would leave, but not us. Some of us still dream that the city can be saved from the corruption. Some would say that we have stubbornness issues.

My name is Bruce Wayne and I'm fourteen year old. My parents were killed right in front of me. My butler, Alfred Pennyworth, became my parent. It turned out two other street kids witnessed the murder, and Jim forced Alfred to take them in a become their 'parent' too. Their names are Selina Kyle and Sean Ornelas. They call themselves; Cat and Knightstalker…

"The Knight, not Knightstalker!" Sean suddenly says, cutting off Bruce's voice-over, sitting on the couch, dully.

We had a lot fun, Bruce continues his voice-over as he ignores the street billionaire on the couch. Especially when she tries to break all Alfred's rules. Soon her ten cats moved into the Manor and I got a dog, Nouschka. We made some great friends, and soon baby Richard moved in and we became a parent. The little boy has now two daddies, mommy Selina and lots of uncles and aunts, two grand-daddies and one great grand-daddy.

"Uhm, do you think Jim and Bullock really appreciate you call them, grand-daddies?" Sean asks with a grin as he chews on a bagel.

"Sean, stop cutting off my voice-over!" Bruce stomps angrily his foot down. Sean simply grins.

My friends. I already introduced Selina but also Sean, who happens to be the same boy who keeps interrupting my voiceover. Who eats a bagel on my couch, sticking his tongue out and shrugs, tauntingly. Obviously he enjoys the attention he now gets from all you, the dear readers…

Oh no, Sean's face turns murderous and that means I have to run. I run, very quickly to my bedroom and lock the door behind me, but sadly enough not fast enough. Sean charges inside, hollering insults I won't repeat because they are too horrible too read. I can tell it involves his fists and my pancreas, which will be…

….

Hey guys, Sean Ornelas speaking. I'm sorry for Bruce's silly voice-overs, which I will take from here. I have a huge crush on Selina, but don't tell her. I will deny it anyway. Okay, so, Bruce wanted to introduce his friends, huh? Well, allow me.

Hien Mooney, Fish Mooney's nephew. The kid is weird and wears, much like his aunt, clothes that I would call 'too-much-money-nothing-to-spend-it-on.' The kid likes Selina because she's adorable, being dramatic, fashion, sports, belly-rubs, sushi and making fun of Ed. Especially with his nickname, The Riddler. Ed wanted that name for himself. Hien dislikes when someone asks him why he's not named after a sea animal, like the rest of his family. He can get really touchy about that.

Hien walks into the room, frozen in his spot as he hears Sean's voice-over. Slowly, his face turns murderous.

"Sorry, dude. It had to be said," Sean says with a grin, and then resuming his voice-over…

Bullock's crazy nephew and niece. Jeremy and Jacky. They are a twin. I always like to say; 'two bodies, half a brain.' Obviously, they don't know what that means. They also have some really weird love and hate relationship.

Rikki Chadwick who lives next door. She moved from the sunny Aussie Gold Coast to the wet and soaked Gotham. Crazy, right? She's a mermaid and once turned me into a cat. I'm still plotting on payback, so if you have any ideas… *hint, hint*

Okay, move on with Johnny Crane, who's the timid of us all. He's pretty much scared of everything, but that's maybe because he thinks everything is… well, I don't know what kind of scary things that kid sees. I do know that his dad injected him with some strange toxin or drug, but the doctors said the kid was completely recovered. We however, doubt that strongly. But, Jim forced Alfred to take him and said some little TLC would do the trick.

Annie. She's a speedster and she's from the future. We all know that because she occasionally takes us out on trips to the past and the future. Also, she likes to drag us all around Gotham with the speed of sound.

Loïc Kägi doesn't remember much about his past, though he does know he's born in Gotham and has a twin sister, who was chased into a hangar by assassins. They opened fire onto the hangar and it exploded. Loïc once told me so I'm the only one who knows. We met Loïc in Switzerland, and he later moved back to Gotham with his elk, Elliot. The kid can endure extreme colds, and his skills are great hand a claw combat, fast runner and stealthy. But I'm better at all of that, ha.

Elliot, Loïc's elk. Likes long walks in the garden and play around with Selina's so called unicorn, Mr. Flowerworth. They also like to scare Penguin, a lot.

Okay, then we have Jack. Not much to tell about that kid, only five words. Crazy, maniac, idiot, stupid and psychopath.

In Switzerland I met the coolest guy, ever. His name is Sherlock Holmes and he lives in England. That does remind me I have to send him an email with an invitation to come-

"MISTER ORNELAS, DON"T YOU DARE!"

Ah, that's Alfred Pennyworth. Obviously heard about my plans of inviting Sherlock. I wonder who told him…

"You just did," Alfred growls, slapping the microphone from Sean's hand and stomps on it after it hit the floor. "Also, why did you hit Master Bruce unconscious?"

"Training!" Sean lies with a grin. Alfred slaps his forehead, tiredly.

"Well, master Bruce is in the study, holding an ice-pack against his face so you better get your butt in there and say sorry."

"ALFRED, I FOUND SOMETHING!" Bruce hollers, and Sean, Hien, Alfred, and Selina come running into the study, staring baffled at Bruce who shows them a…. remote? "I found it in this book."

"What!" Alfred's mouth drops open in shock. He just left the study seconds ago, neat and clean. Now, all the books are lying on the floor, everywhere. The same goes for all the pillows and cushions. "What did you do?"

"Don't look at us," Jacky says, and that's when they spot the twins in the corner of the study, playing statue, again. Alfred throws a stink-eye to them. "I dare you to push that button, kid!"

"Don't you dare!" Alfred bellows, and they all frown at him. "It could be a bomb."

"Alfred, that seems improbable," Bruce says back, looking at him doubtfully. I mean, why would my dad hide a bomb in our house?"

"I know a couple of reasons," Hien adds importantly and flops down onto the cushion less couch. "Your dad had secrets, right? Well, to burn them all at once.." Hien makes an explosion sound, including the explosion motion.

"And bring my mom and me in danger?" Bruce frowns even more. Hien simply shrugs. Alfred wants to slap him for it, but Jeremy jumps off Jacky's shoulders and laughs at Bruce; "Well, where are you waiting for then?"

Alfred wants to stop Bruce before he hits the button, but too late. The room fills with classical music. The twins, totally clueless of where the music is coming from, start to run circles through the study, screaming the entire time until they get tired and collapse onto the floor.

Suddenly they all hear a soft rumble, cue looking over to the fire place when it starts to move back, revealing an open cavern.

They entire gang look with mouths dropped wide open to the opening that's appearing as the fire place moves back into the wall. Slowly and cautious they walk toward it, looking at each other who goes or dares to go first. That's Selina of course.

"Whoa, I like dark cubby holes," Selina cries excitedly, prancing inside, looking down the long staircase below her.

"Me too!" Sean hollers, and prances equally excited inside. Alfred really wishes he had slapped that stupid remote from Bruce's hands, a lot quicker.

Presence…

Sean ran all the way Gotham and didn't stop for anything or anyone. Now, he's strolling through Selina's favorite places, looking for her, but it looks like he can't find her, which is strange. Normally he would have found her by now. Sean has no other choice then ask for help.

Quickly the young street boy walks firmly up to a group of street kids, and ask them if they have seen Selina. They all frown, confused. Then, one of them opens his eyes in amazement and says; "You know, you look familiar. Hey, Zeb, look at this guy's face.

"Yeah, I'm really sure I've seen this guy before," Zeb says, eyeing Sean up and down. Sean's mind starts to fill with fear. What if one of them suddenly shouts his name? Then the place would be swarming with reporters. He has to leave, now.

"I'm telling you, I always remember a face," another street kid says, taking a step closer and blockings Sean's escape route.

"Yeah, he's really good with the faces and such," Zeb nods, and the first kid nods agreed. Well, the entire group nods agreed.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," They all say, nodding. "I know this boy."

"Yeah, me too."

Sean rolls his eyes annoyed and turns around, the other way, but the group of street kids stop him again. Sean's fists clench slowly.

"I have to remember it, it's on the tip of my tongue," the first street kid says, not even noticing Sean's murderous face.

Suddenly, a bus with a poster of Sean stops behind the street billionaire, and the poster says; 'Multi-Billionaire Sean Ornelas is not dead. Tips of his whereabouts, call 555 0482719. Reward….

The bus starts to ride again and the first kid says, clearly not noticed the bus or the poster at all; "No, I don't know. I thought I knew." Sean sighs relieved.

"Oh, did you ever hang out with Macky in the Narrows?" Zeb asks, striking his chin, and another kid chips in; 'Yeah, yeah, Macky. You know, that kid that was caught by the police and-

"What?" Sean asks baffled. Then turning onto his heels and pushes himself through the crowd, muttering; "Then I'll have to find that Cat myself."

"Ooh, you are looking for Cat. Why didn't you say so."

"Yeah, we know where you can find Cat." They all nod agreed.

It's slowly getting dark in Gotham, and a certain cat-girl is brushing her curls while she lies stretched onto a garbage bin, purring happily. In the background stood a few men who were forced to play some Italian mob melody. Suddenly someone clears his throat to get her attention.

"Right on time, Raul," Selina purrs, turning from her back to her stomach as she lurks down onto the street boy. "Come on in."

The little street boy scurries closer and hands her a sausage, quickly scurrying a few steps back, obediently.

"Okay Raul, nice work," Selina says satisfied, but then suddenly remembering something; "Wait, where's the mustard?"

"I-I-I-I-I'm,' Raul stutters in panic, and a stream of pee runs down his trousers.

"Okay, don't forget the mustard next time, okay babe?" Selina says, feeling a little sorry for the kid. He's still five year old, so you can't really blame her. The little boy quickly sprints off, and another street kid walks cautious inside the alley. He's sixteen years old.

"Is that an everything bagel, Gustav?" Selina says with a disgusted look on her face. Gustav's eyes dart anxious around because he suddenly realizes that he made a mistake. "You know I hate everything bagels, so why did you bring it anyway?"

"I forgot, sorry," Gustav says, looking plaintively, and about to sprint back out the alleyway when Selina tells firmly to keep his butt rooted. "Come on, Cat. It was a slow week. I don't have anything else."

Suddenly the alleyway fills with a very disturbing, roaring sound, and both street kids stare at the source it's coming from. Selina's stomach.

"You hear this, Gustav? I'm hungry." Selina crouches up and then leaps to the ground, slowly lingering around the whimpering Gustav as she dots her index finger onto his nose, threatening. "And when my stomach starts talking, it ain't talking to me. It's talking to the….

The Italian band makes a drum-roll.

"Claws!" Selina holds her hands out toward the boy's face, who starts to whimper even more. "I'm holding these bad boys back, the best I can, but the thing is, it's not up to me. The stomach's got a direct line to these babies, and I'm picking up a lot of chatter."

"No, please, not the claws."

"Fine, I'll talk to the claws, but in exchange, tomorrow all your food comes to me." The boy is about to object, but Selina shouts; "Now, get lost!"

Gustav rounds on his heels and scurries out the alleyway, suddenly turning back to face Selina who was about to make her way back up to the garbage bin, but halts when she hears Gustav saying something.

"Mark my words, Cat. One day someone's going to stand up to you. Someone's going teach you a lesson."

"Yeah. I'm really scared now," Selina says, snorting and suddenly she gets flung through the alleyway and held against the wall. Sean's face, really close to hers.

"You should be!" Sean bellows, roaring like an angry volcano as he holds a tight grip onto her throat. Selina gasps in shock, fear-stricken by Sean's murderous looking face. "Where is he?!"

"Uh…." Selina moans, struggling underneath's Sean's tight grip, trying to kick herself free. It doesn't work. "Who?"

"Richard! You know I wanted to take him for a stroll today, and now it's too late! Where is, Richard!"

"How do I know!" Selina coughs, trying to breath. Sean loses his grip and Selina drops onto the ground. Then, jumping back to her feet; "I gave Richard to Johnny a few hours ago."

"You did what?" Sean gasps frantically as he grabs both of her arms and starts to shake her up, rapidly. "You left Richard in Johnny's care? Why? That boy is crazy!"

"Would you relax," Selina grins, freeing herself from Sean's tight grip and straightening her jacket afterwards. "I was kidding. I left Richard in my hideout, sleeping on my mattress. And according to the baby monitor, Richard is still sleeping."

Selina moves a board aside and crawls inside. Lots of cat meows are coming from outside the building and Sean can hear the young cat-girl stumble as she tries to scramble past them. The young street billionaire shakes his head, moves the board aside too and follows Selina, trying to find a way through furry legs, sharp claws and teeth.

"You know, it's not healthy for a baby to sleep in the same room as hundreds cats," Sean says as he tries to wipe the cat hairs from his jacket. "Beside, why did you take him?"

"Because I knew you would be angry if I did," Selina's voice says, coming from upstairs. Sean quickly walks up the stairs, following Selina's next sentence; "That's why I prepared this."

Sean steps into the room and spots Selina with her arms brandished. That's when he sees a very dirty blanket lying on the floor, and a picnic basket beside it. Sean frowns confused.

"Yeah, it's Richard's birthday tomorrow and to avoid someone else claims this kid for a day, I snatched him with me so we can make a trip to the zoo. You understand that, right Kitty Toy Sean?"

Sean snorts, folds his arms and looks away. Of course he doesn't understand. He wanted to take Richard to… well, he actually has no idea where he wanted to take Richard to, but he would eventually. From the corners of his eyes Sean spots Selina's very sad face, and her big green eyes.

"Fine, I understand," Sean says as he rolls his eyes. Why is he always getting so weak in her presence? "So, why the picnic?"

"Well, It's kinda to make it up for your missed change of taking Richard today, so I organized this. Richard will be needing his night bottle in a few minutes, so the little boy can join us. How does that sound?"

"Well, I missed two meals today, so I am quite hungry," Sean says as he looks thoughtfully, and then smiles. "What's in the picnic basket."

"Well, that's actually for show," Selina says as she grins sheepishly. "It's empty because Alfred kicked me out the pantry when I tried to fill it."

"Great," Sean mutters and rolls his eyes.

"But hey, I do have a sausage with no mustard, and an everything bagel." Selina takes the two piece of food from her jacket pocket and shows them to Sean, who looks at it a little disturbed. "But it's the thought that counts, right?"

"Sure," Sean replies with a cheeky grin. "As long I can have the sausage. When you say everything bagel, I don't really want to know what exactly 'everything' means. I even spot a spot of mould."

"Ugh, you're right," Selina says in disgust. "If I get Gustav in my hands I'll…

"We will share the sausage, okay?" Sean smiles and sits down onto the blanket. Selina nods, picks up baby Richard who just woke up and sits down beside Sean who starts to warm up his baby bottle.

Then remembering Selina's note in Richard's cot, and Sean starts to wonder whether if it's Richard, or if he's the kitten Selina wants to play with.

Sean buys two tickets and a free baby ticket at the zoo and strolls inside with Selina who's pushing Richard's stroller. For hours they have a pretty amazing time as they watch all sorts of animals and trying to find resemblance in them with the people they know.

Meanwhile at the Manor, Alfred had called Jim and reported the two kids and the one year old baby as missing persons. A part of him knew for sure they had something to do with Richard's disappearance. Jim assured him they would find them, safely.

The doorbell rings and Alfred quickly opens it, wishing it would be the kids and Richard. Sadly enough, it was Sherlock. And aggravated growl escapes his mouth as he realizes Sean dis-obeyed him and invited the sociopath over to celebrate Richard's birthday.

Sherlock grins as he briefly looks up from his cell-phone and then strolls inside, ordering John to bring in the suitcases. A second later John walks in, panting and sweating. It appears Sherlock brought too many stuff for a one day visit, so Alfred realizes again that it will be a long-term visit.

Sherlock's laugh disappears into the study as he reads or sees something funny on his phone, and then stares a little bamboozled at the cave in the wall. Bruce's angry growls coming from deep down the cave.

"Everything alright, kid?" Sherlock pops up from behind Bruce, making the boy startle up in surprise. Then, eyeing the code panel on the door and the many finger prints on it; "What? Can't crack the code?" Cue wide grin.

"No!" Bruce sits down on the steps, slumping his face into his hands tiredly. "It belonged to my dad and I'm trying to find out what's behind it." Then the young billionaire stands up and walks upstairs. "I think I need a little break."

Sherlock watches Bruce disappear into the study, and then enters the code 27833. There's a soft click and Sherlock opens the door, poking his head inside. Sadly enough there's not much to see. He makes a quick snapshot of the room and sends the picture to Selina with the text; Bruce found his batcave.

The high functional sociopath receives a new text from Selina with the text; 'Ha, that's funny Sherlock. We are in the bat caves right now, and Richard loves it. Sean however, not so much. He lies on the floor, protecting his hair.'

Sherlock guffaws and then closes the secret door again, just about the same time as Bruce walked back in with a glass of water. The boy stares at Sherlock, stunned.

"Did you just close that door?" Bruce finally says, coming up from behind Sherlock who simply grins. "You cracked the code?"

"Matter in fact, I did," Sherlock replies, staring at his phone and then makes a picture of Bruce's baffled face, sending it to Selina. "It was very easy."

"Well, what is the code?"

"72833," Sherlock replies, strolling up the stairs. "As in, B.R.U.C.E!"

Excitedly Bruce drops the glass of water on the ground, because he won't be needing it anymore, and presses the code Sherlock just said. A bliep and red light indicated he pressed the wrong code, again.

"What the F-" Bruce bellows, trying again but with the same results. "Sherlock, you lied!"

"No I didn't," Sherlock says as he flops down onto the couch, Bruce appearing outside the cave, looking very angry at Sherlock. "I changed the code again."

"Why?"

"Because Selina asked me too. When she comes home from the zoo, she wants to show you how to build a bomb." Cue huge grin.

Sean and Selina sit on a bench eating ice-scream. Richard likes to take a few bites too. Then, she settles the boy onto the ground and starts to chatter with Sean. Suddenly they get interrupted by a police siren, and they see Bullock steer the cop car into the zoo.

Jim exits the car and sprints toward them, hollering; "Where's the baby?"

"Technically, Richard is not a baby anymore," Sean says smartly. "He's officially one years old, so you can't call him a baby longer."

"Yeah, and would you relax?" Selina says with a smirk. "He's right here, beside my feet playing with his…" Then, noticing Richard is gone; "Oh no, my baby! Has anyone seen my baby?!"

And Sean bellows; "My son. Has anyone seen my one year old son?!" The two kids start running panic ally up and down the zoo, asking everyone if they see their baby and son. People look in shock at the kids, then at Bullock and Jim, shaking their heads disapproved as they mutter; "Some parents really don't know how to raise a child."

"They are not our kids!" Bullock roars. "We are cops!"

"Some cops really don't know how to keep control on children," a woman says, and she has to run for that one because Bullock runs after her, roaring dangerously. Jim, Selina and Sean run after them to stop the lackadaisical cop from hurting her too much.

Suddenly Bullock halts in his roots and stares at the ground. The lady quickly sprints off. Jim, Sean and Selina bump into Bullock, then scratching the backs of their heads.

"Baby-tracks!" Bullock points at the sand on the ground, and they can see small tiny hand prints in it, indicating Richard had crawled there minutes ago. They follow the prints with their eyes, and soon they see a tall building. Excitedly the run upon it and rush inside.

Once inside they split up and scope the place for Richard. Selina looks between the tall plants while Sean looks into the toilets. Jim looks behind the dumpsters and under the benches while Bullock plays authority with a gorilla. Yes, they are in the ape-house.

They gather in the middle of the building and realize no one has found Richard yet. They shrug, walk back and scope the place again. As Bullock walks past the gorilla cage again, he hears baby giggles. They all hear it, and the freeze in their spots.

Slowly they all turn to the gorilla cage, and that's when they spot baby Richard coming up from behind the gorilla. The large animal touches the little boy gently, making him giggle. Jim, Bullock, Sean and Selina however, start screaming their lungs out in shock and fear.

The gorilla starts roaring wildly, causing the two kids and the two adults scream louder. Then, all visitors starts screaming and so do all the other apes. Bullock spots the guide with a group of children and suddenly stops his screams and lets them flow into a guffawing laughter. The kids and the guide do the same, and then leave the building.

"Hahaha, whoo-hoo-hoo, the kid is in the gorilla cage," Bullock says annoyed. Selina starts hugging Sean in fear and sobs; "There goes my little kitten." Selina buries her face into Sean's chest.

"No, I think the gorilla likes Richard." Sean points at the cage and that's when they see the gorilla gives Richard a piece of apple. Richard starts sucking on it. Then, they all look at Jim.

"What?" Jim asks with a frown.

"You have long arms," Bullock says with a grin. Jim, getting the idea shakes his head rapidly and tries to hide his 'long' arms into the sleeve of his police jacket. Sadly enough it doesn't work, and five seconds later the poor cop finds himself reaching through the bars for Richard's untied shoelaces. The others cheer for encouragement.

"Yes, you can do it Jim, carefully now," Selina whispers as she pokes Jim's arm to hurry him up. "Almost there."

Suddenly the gorilla puts his finger onto the other untied shoelaces, preventing Richard from reaching the bars. Jim smiles sheepishly at the gorilla. The gorilla pulls onto the shoelaces and Richard slides back, giggling wildly as Jim tries to pull him back by the other shoelaces.

The gorilla lets go and Richard slides back toward Jim. Then, totally not getting what Jim wants from him, Richard starts to cry a little and reaches for the gorilla. The gorilla gets up, slowly and scurries closer toward the bars.

"He's getting up, Bullock," Jim says in fear as he sees the big beast coming upon him. Sean whispers to Jim not to make any sudden movements, which seems to work because the gorilla sits down again, beside Jim's hand who still has Richard's shoelaces in it.

The gorilla looks casually around his cage like noticing is going on. Then, out of nowhere the gorilla heaves up and fist and slams it onto Jim's hand, which makes a painful crack. Jim takes his painfully hand into his other hand, turning on his heels to face Sean, and then bursts into screams as he scrambles over to a bench to sit down. Selina, Bullock and Sean look at the cop, sympathetically.

As Jim starts to scream and sob more, the other apes start screaming as well, until Bullock roars; "SHUT UP!" she apes all shut their mouths, and the gorilla moves from one side of the cage to the other side of the cage. Bullock, Sean and Selina quickly climb back over the small fence.

They stare at Jim for a moment, then the street boy scopes his eyes through the building and sees a bucket with a mop in it. He elbows Bullock, and points at it. Bullock gets the idea but isn't happy about it. Sadly enough he has no other choice to obey the street boy.

Cautiously and whimpering in fear, Bullock scurries closer to the cage as he clenches the mop against his chest. Jim, Sean and Selina stand aside, safely. Richard giggles excitedly and Sean tells Bullock he has to lower the mop into the cage to grab the baby.

Slowly Bullock does what's told, and the gorilla starts to roar angrily. Bullock immediately pulls the mop back. Sean, realizing he has to draw the beast's attention off Bullock hisses; "Hey, King Kong."

The gorilla looks at Sean, and Sean makes silly faces and says into a sing song voice; "I'm a banana. I'm a coconut. I'm entire delicious fruit salad." Sean can see Selina starts to gloat happily and she blows a kiss at him. Sean turns red in the face.

Bullock however, slowly lowers the mop back into the cage and sticks it behind the suspenders of Richard's pants. "I got him!" Bullock cheers happily.

The gorilla turns his head back to Bullock and slowly takes Richard, who's now dangling onto the mop, and places him back onto the floor. Then, stomping angrily onto the mop because Bullock stupidly held the other end between his legs, causing him to fly up into the sky, and pluming a few seconds later back onto the ground.

Then, the gorilla outside door opens and the gorilla heads outside. Richard crawls after the big ape. Sean and Selina quickly leave the two cops and run around the building, just in time to see Richard crawl from under the gorilla gate.

The gorilla waves at Richard, and a tiny tear falls down the big beast's cheek. Selina lifts Richard into her arms and hugs him tightly. Sean sighs relieved, because if the gate wouldn't have opened, he was the next person in line to try catching Richard.

"Awe, don't you worry," Selina says to the gorilla. "We will try visit once in a while, okay?" Jim's and Bullock's angry stares says enough.

"SURPRISE!" everyone jumps from their hiding place soon Selina and Sean stroll inside with Richard. The baby giggles in joy. Selina hands Richard to Bruce, and she starts hugging Sherlock tightly. Sherlock hugs her back, and both John and Alfred get legally scared as it looks really disturbed.

Then, Selina helps Richard to unpack all his presents, and for the next few hours she turns back into a little girl as she starts playing with Richard and his new toys. Her cats scurry the toy pieces all around the Manor.

Alfred walks inside with a big cake and Sean helps him with cutting it. Then, he feeds part of his own cake to Richard, who totally likes the cake but not the cream on it. The little boy looks at it for a moment, his face dripping of disgust, and then cleans his hands onto Sean. Sean laughs.

After that, Selina launches herself and Richard down the stairs into a huge laundry basket, knocking everyone out of the way. Richard guffaws. Then they play again, and Bruce holds Richard securely as he tries to make a few steps. The little boy is still a little wobbly and flops down onto his little butt.

"Fertilizer! What is your game?" Alfred roars as Sherlock enters the study with lots and lots of bags with fertilizer.

"I would have thought that's obvious to a man of your perception," Sherlock replies with a grin as he tosses the fertilizer next to the fireplace. He turns around to face the fuming butler. "It occurred to me I have to help Bruce to get into that room."

"A bomb, inside the house? I mean, you're having a laugh, ain't ya? A bomb?" Alfred exclaims infuriated, raising his hands in despair.

"I was going to tell you," Bruce replies, standing up onto his feet and holds Richard in his arms. "I wanted to present it as a fait accompli."

"Don't start talking French to me!" Alfred growls, getting aggravated each second. Then, much calmer voice; "You don't know the first thing about bomb making anyway, do you?"

"That's where I'm for," Sherlock grins. "I've read thousand books, never made a bomb, but I can do it with my eyes closed. After all, I'm a high function sociopath."

"A book." Alfred scowls at him. "You're going to blow your head off before you put a dent in that thing." An awkward silence follows, and Sherlock's face slowly turns murderous because he's offended by Alfred's harsh words.

Alfred slowly starts walking up and down, and then addresses to Bruce; "You know, maybe that door's trying to tell us something. Maybe you're not ready to find out what's behind it. Maybe we should wait until you're older. I mean, who knows what your dear old dad was up to down there, anyway."

"Well, all I saw was a desk, a computer and-

"Not helping!" Alfred bellows to Sherlock, who simply grins back.

"Like what?" Bruce asks curiously.

"Well things I wouldn't want to describe to a child, which is exactly what you are." Bruce nods, realizing that his butler isn't about to tell anything, so his determination returns.

"I'm building a bomb to blow down that door," Bruce says, sternly. Alfred sighs disappointedly as Bruce turns back to the fireplace and lifts up the heavy sack of fertilizer. "You may assist me or not, as you wish!" Then, in much gentler voice; "But i-if not, some tea would be nice."

Really carefully, and really focused, Alfred wraps four dairy cans together with duct-tape, before filling it up with fertilizer.

Everything was set and in place. Alfred walked back up the stairs, rolling out some more wire and settled down beside Bruce behind the couch.

"Now you're absolutely sure about this, Master Bruce? – I strongly advise-

"Alfred! I need to know. Let's do this."

Alfred attaches the last wire, handing the detonator over to Bruce. Everyone else tries to find cover in the study. Selina hugs Sean, excitedly. Carefully Alfred and Bruce seek cover behind the couch, as Bruce holds his thumb on the detonator. Bruce pushes the detonator and the bomb explodes, causing the house to fill with dust, smoke and an incredible stench of burned stuff.

"Yes!" everyone cheers excitedly, and as the smoke clears. The young boy can't wait any longer, jumps up to his feet and charges back into the fireplace, taking a flashlight on his way. Alfred quickly follows, with his own flashlight, soon followed by the other kids. Annie stays outside with Richard.

Slowly they reach the door, now blown down and revealing a secret office. Bruce holds his breath in, and so does Alfred.

Cautious, they enter the room and Alfred has to stop Bruce from tripping over the blown down door. Alfred quickly turns on the light, making it easier for them to enter the room.

The room was small, with a desk in the middle of it. A computer on top of it. Everything was completely covered in dust.

Bruce, entering the room and taking in his new surroundings, doesn't really know how to feel. Excitedly, for finally finding out was behind the door? Or sad, for realizing his dad indeed kept secrets? Confused maybe? Or angry?

Bruce halts in front of the desk, his eyes falling onto the letter. A letter with his name on it. Slowly he picks it up, staring at Alfred who walks toward him.

While holding in his breath, Bruce opens the letter and reads; "Dear Bruce!"
