This is the first addition to the sequel for the Rightful Wayne heir story.

1. Back in Gotham

Bruce still wasn't pleased to arrive at Wayne Manor without Selina, but she said she had some urgent things to do and wanted Alfred to drop her off somewhere in the Narrows. However, she did promise the young billionaire she would show up at the manor soon she had done those urgent things, but still, it worried him.

"Well, that should be the last of it," Alfred grunted exhausted soon he had dropped all the bags and suitcases into the kitchen.

Bruce and Selina had done quite some shopping when they were in New Hampshire, and even later, in Switzerland they proceeded to buy more along with the investigations they were doing, which was entirely Selina's fault, because if it was up to Bruce he would have investigated all day and every day, so Selina saw it as her task to drag him outside the fancy chalet, every now and then. And in the end, Bruce didn't even mind to have his thoughts occupied with fun stuff.

Then Alfred remembers Selina said something about the urgent things and that one of them was collecting stuff from her squad, and the butler mutters under his breath as he closes the back door; "She better not come with a stolen car and a trunk-load full of more bags, because I will kick her straight back."

"She won't, Alfred," Bruce replied as he scans his eyes through the kitchen. Everything is still the same as when they left. A part of him feels relieved about it, but his other part was not. Mainly because the past few months in New Hampshire and Switzerland his life had been totally different. He had smiled and laughed more in the past months then he did in Gotham, after his parents murder.

Alfred drags in a long sigh then says; "I'll put the kettle on. There's nothing like a sweet cup of tea to make home feel like home after a long trip away." Then the butler walks across the kitchen to grab the kettle and fills it with water before placing it on the stove. When the water slowly starts to heat up, Bruce still hadn't replied. "Hey, Master Bruce? You all right?"

The young billionaire locks his eyes on his butler, troublesome then asks; "Were we right to leave, Alfred? Stay away all this time?"

"Well, considering the appalling sight of the topiary, I should say absolutely not."

Bruce rolls his eyes annoyed and exclaims; "Alfred, you know what I mean."

Alfred sighs and nods. He knows indeed what his young Master means, but he also knows the boy knows the answer. Bruce slowly turns away from the butler and stares back to the walls, worriedly.

"You're nervous about tomorrow, aren't you?" Alfred asked the young billionaire who had his back turned toward him. He can see the boy nod slowly, but the butler also knows that is not the only thing that troubled the boy. "And young Thomas Wayne?"

Bruce turns around instantly and asks, confused; "You know that? But how?"

"Master Bruce, did you really think the door of your chalet bedroom is sound proof? I mean, Agent Hayes left you and mysterious message which I assume was about young Thomas, because right after you and Miss Kyle disappeared into your room, you talked about him for hours."

Bruce drops his head; "Then you probably also heard our first argument."

"You two always argue," Alfred replied then turning off the kettle. "So, that's not really a new thing for me."

Bruce sighs sadly; "Yeah, but our first argument as a couple. And it was about my brother." Bruce takes a seat behind the kitchen table while Alfred grabbed the cups and the tea. "Agent Hayes said that a couple of weeks ago witnesses saw a car stop at the side of the road. Men wearing scarfs to cover their faces took a toilet break near the car when suddenly a young boy with Thomas's description came from the back of the car and run into the nearby woods. The men chased him with guns. That's all Hayes could tell me."

Alfred had filled the two tea cups by the time Bruce had finished the story then sat down and grumbles; "Yes, well, you don't need to worry for him showing his face here. And even if he does, Miss Kyle and I are gladly to send him out the door, forcefully."

"That's what Selina said as well," Bruce replied then steering his tea spoon through his cup then saying, absently; "And that's were also our first argument as a couple started. She wants to kick him straight out the door, but that's not what I want."

Alfred rolls his eyes tiredly; "Master Bruce, you're not seriously thinking to-

"Give him a chance?" Bruce asked filling in his butler's question. "Trust me, Selina asked me the exact same thing, and I tell you the same as what I told her. If he shows up at the mansion I won't send him out. I want him to explain why he did what he did. He's the only person who knows who's behind the council, or at least knows persons who are connected. Will I ever trust him? Not straight away, he needs to earn it."

Alfred sighs; "Yes, well, personally I think you should keep him away from yourself as far as you can keep him. Besides, tomorrow you have the meeting with the board members, and if it goes like we planned, you don't need young Thomas."

"We'll have to wait how the board reacts on my suspicion," Bruce said placing the empty tea cup back onto the table. Then he rises to his feet and heads for the door, asking over his shoulder; "Could you keep the patio doors unlocked tonight? I don't want Selina waking me up by throwing pebbles at my bedroom window."

After Selina had done the urgent things she needed to do she heads down the Narrows to collect her stuff from her squad. While walking through an alleyway nearby her squad she sees a young boy around her age searching through the garbage for food.

Selina flips through her wallet with her recently earned money counting it with a smirk. Most of her contacts were happy seeing her again and even payed her more than usually. She could afford it to feed another, hungry stray.

"Here kid, it's yours," Selina said handing the young, dirty boy some dollar bills. The boy looks at it, warily then Selina wraps it into his hand impatiently. "Here, take it!"

When Selina continues her stroll to her squad her friend Ivy runs up to her from behind and says; "If you keep feeding strays, one of them will follow you home."

"Like you," Selina chuckled handing her friend some of the money then entering her squad. Once inside she sees it's filled with strangers, though she knows one of them, Fish Mooney.

The ex-mob queen rises off the ruffled couch and smiles, sweetly; "Selina, I'm glad you're back. Where have you been all this time?"

"Oh, you know, here and there," Selina replied quickly hiding her wallet and other stash into her pockets. Then she points at the strangers and asks; "Who are they?"

Fish smiles; "They are friends, and you don't mind we used your squad as safe house, do you?"

"Nah, I just came to collect some of my stuff," Selina replied trying to hide the eerie feeling behind a half smile. "Just pretend I'm not here and continue with…whatever you were doing."

Selina grabs Ivy's sleeve ready to take her to the back of the squad and away from the Indian Hill monsters, but Fish grabs her arm at the same time to stop her then smiles; "Actually, there is something I wanted to ask you."

The way Fish said it made the eerie feeling in Selina's gut grow, but she knows well enough to not question Fish and her motives, and the best way, the safe way to get out in one piece is to do what Fish wants her to do.

"You see, me and my friends are getting sick due to the things, the experiments the crazy professor did with us, and there is a pharmacy who might have the right stuff we need. The only problem is, we can't get inside unless someone sneaks inside through the roof and opens the door for us."

Selina drags in a long sigh then says; "Fine, but you do pay me for my afford."

"Of course," Fish replied then turning to her crowd; "Marv and Sid, you come with us."

A little while later when the streets had turned dark, Selina followed Fish and her two goons to the pharmacy she had spoken about and soon they arrived, the young street girl can see why the older woman needs her expertise. The building had no windows and the only way to the roof was a drain pipe.

Selina starts to climb up the pipe only glancing down one time at the three people bellow. That's when she sees that the boy, Sid, eyes her butt interestingly. The street girl quickly shrugs the embarrassing feeling away and climbs onto the roof.

With one quick sprint she reaches the skylight which is the only way into the building beside the front door. Once she's inside she heads over to the door and opens it for Fish Mooney.

The next morning Bruce and Alfred sit inside Wayne Enterprises waiting for the board to call him in. The young billionaire stares absently into space wondering why Selina hadn't returned like she promised. He's too far away he doesn't even hear what his butler is saying.

"Master B, are you okay?"

Bruce looks up from his thoughts then replies; "I should've eaten something, that's all."

"Excuse me, gentlemen," a woman's voice said and both men look up noticing the board is ready to see him.

Bruce rises to his feet then heading with Alfred to the board room where the board chatter in low voice. Bruce takes his place at the head of the table then smiles, politely.

"I'd like to thank the board for giving me this time." Bruce then sits down opens his notebook and proceeds; "It will come as no surprise I'd like to talk about Indian Hill. I know preliminary investigations have concluded Hugo Strange acted alone. I reject this conclusion."

At that moment Bruce can sense a few board members start to shift awkwardly in their seats, then adds; "While trapped in Indian Hill, I was led to believe an unnamed group had taken control of my company, and soon afterwards my so called brother Thomas Wayne turned out to work for the company I believe is behind all this. I left Gotham both for my own safety and so that I might have the time to discover hard evidence of their existence."

Bruce scans his eyes across all the face and after the brief pause he comments; "Now I have the proof they exist. And I can tell you that they're here. In this room. I want to talk face to face. You have 24 hours to contact me, or the information that I've gathered will be sent to every newspaper and television station in Gotham. Thank you for your time."

Bruce nods politely then leaves the board room, regally. Alfred follows in tow, asking; "Pancakes, Master B?"

Bruce chuckles; "Pancakes would be great."

Soon Bruce and Alfred returned home, they found Selina sleeping on the couch along with a bunch of street cats. Once Alfred arrived in the kitchen he saw the pile of belongings she had taken from her squad.

Bruce chuckles because of the tired eye roll Alfred gave him then decides to do some researches in the study while he left Selina sleep.

The days past by quickly and it slowly turned dark, and Selina was still sleeping deep. Alfred locked all doors and windows then told the young boy it was best to keep Selina on the couch. She would find her way to the guest room sooner or later.

Bruce nodded then left the study to head upstairs. Alfred locked the second patio doors then when he turned around he saw a dark shape coming from the shadows. He was wearing dark clothes and a mask.

Worriedly, Alfred's eyes dart to the sleeping girl on the couch. The masked man follows the butler's eyes and Alfred knows he has to act quickly. He grabs some items off the desk then throwing it to the masked man,

The masked man dodges the items then shows a sharp knife before taking a run-up to the couch and use it to jump himself onto Alfred. A fight ensues, and Selina kept sleeping the entire time.

After a long fight, the masked man knocked Alfred to the floor quickly hiding back into the shadows when he heard Bruce rushing down the stairs. Bruce enters the study and finds his butler unconscious on the floor.

"Alfred!" Bruce hollered then rushing to his butler. Then, suddenly a stinking cloth is pushed against his mouth from behind. The young billionaire tries to struggle but it's futile, because he feels himself drifting to sleep.

The masked man hurls Bruce over his shoulder then leaving through one of the patio doors, disappearing into the darkness.
