Part One
"You think marrying the demon brat off to the daughter of a literal demon is a good idea? My God you're even more delusional then I thought Bruce."
Bruce gritted his teeth together at the 'demon brat' comment, not liking anyone even his ex wife to insult his son, and slowly closed his eyes. He didn't have time to be getting worked up over a simple comment.
"I would prefer if you didn't insult my son Selina. Besides he and Rachel have become great friends over the past eight months." He groaned rubbing at his forehead.
The brunette rolled her eyes and have him a tight lipped smile. "Friends not future husband and wife, though I am supposed the poor girl managed to stand your son's terrible manners and don't even get me started on his attitude. I guess being raised with two older brothers did her some good for once." She snickered afterwards taking a sip from her champagne glass.
"Selina..." He resisted the urge to growl, neglecting his own glass of alcohol for the papers that littered his desk.
His former lover shrugged and leaned back in her chair with a pleased look on her face. Her couldn't help but look over her body and the way her form seemed to melt into her clothing. The skin tight black mini dress made his heart become heavy and his mouth felt like cotton. Crossing her heels over one another she raised a eyebrow at him.
"Like what you see?" They both knew the answer. It was the same every time she'd ask him. But that was in the past and they where stuck, frozen in the present.
"Rachel will be staying in the manor for the next three weeks and I want all of the kids here to make her feel more at home." He said watching her face fall. "And by all the kids I mean Helena and Terry to."
She started to shake her head with frustration growing on her face and her nails sharpening against the seats leather arms. The room became tense and her eyes darkened.
"Bruce i can't let the kids come here when you have so many enemies watching this place. Just the thought of leaving them alone here makes me sick to my stomach." She spat out.
"The children will all be watched by armed guards and my closest allies." He said watching her begin to burn a bright red in her anger. "Nothing will happen to them while they are under my watch."
"And how can I know that you're telling the truth? Bruce I want to trust you but I don't want some random men watching over my kids!"
"It won't be random men here. Dick is coming over to and he's bringing Mari over to keep Helena company and I'm sure she and Carrie will get along great." He said wanting the conversation to end already. He hated when they argued especially over the children.
"Come on, I swear that Dick and I will watch them at all times." Bruce promised his voice soft.
Selina sat there for a few more minutes before finally cracking under the pressure. "Fine. But if my kids get hurt because of you we're done."
The dark haired teen grinned as his foot met his older brother's side, knocking the man onto his behind. Cracking his knuckles he prepared to deal the finishing blow only to be swept off of his feet with a swift to the back of his legs. He andes next to his brother and looked up at his attacker with a fierce scowl.
Stephanie grinned at him and stretched her arms behind her back, rolling her eyes at the angry pout on his face. She held back the urge to laugh at both of her brothers.
"Brown how dare you interrupt my training." Damian hissed as he got off of the ground and dusted himself off.
"If that's what you want to call training." Stephanie muttered sitting down on a chair.
His eyes grew heated. "Well it's not like I can do anything with a broken arm."
"And whose fault is that?" Dick said having heard all the commotion from outside the room.
Damian's eyes widened in shock, having not even known his older brother was coming over. "Grayson?"
To his side Tim looked up his eyebrows arched in confusion. "Dick when did you get here?"
Coming over with two bags in his hands, one noticeably a small child's, he couldn't help but hug the closest person near him who happened to be Stephanie. She attempted to escape but he was to fast jumping at her and slamming her to his chest. Wheezing she fought against the man's affection her face turning blue and her body wiggling.
"Dick...can't...breath...stop...hugging me...dumbass." She whimpered kicking him in the crotch with the heel of her boot.
They collapsed to to the ground with Dick sweating and holding himself in pain while Stephanie panted in relief. She glared at the other two in the room who looked as if they where struggling to keep from laughing.
"Why didn't you help me you idiots!" She growled ignoring the teary eyed man beneath her.
Damian shrugged while Tim just stared at her with a blank face. "I wanted karma to finish it's course. Serves you right."
The younger of the two nodded. "I have to agree with Drake here despite the dread it fills me with to even utter the words." He shuddered. "Now get off the floor and apologize to Grayson for mauling his genitals."
Gaping the blonde curled her hands into fists and uncurled them as if she was struggling not to pummel them to death.
"As if you wouldn't do the same you midgets." But she still got up and pulled up her brother without any trouble.
Despite being kicked in the jewels and bruises from the waist up, Dick smiled with bright eyes at his siblings. His bags sat sprawled on the ground by his feet and his left cheek was turning a bright red from being scratched by the room's floorboards.
"I missed you all so much! It was so hard living all alone in California without my little siblings and my babies!" He sobbed squeezing Tim against his side causing the man to cry out in shock. "Jason wouldn't even let me visit you guys!"
"I wonder why..." Stephanie muttered watching them with caution.
Dick pouted but continued to hug his brother. "Anyway, Mari and I will be staying here with you guys for the next two months and my idiotic brother is coming along to."
"Don't you mean your idiotic husband?" Damian sighed.
"Well he can be both." Dick huffed childishly before blanking and screwing up his face. "Okay that does sound wrong now that I think about."
Stephanie scowled. "You think, I never thought this family was into incest but then again Tim and I dated when we where considered siblings." The man in question stared at her in annoyance.
"That isn't the same thing we weren't raised together!" He shouted the sound of his ribs practically cracking echoing around them.
Chuckling she rolled her eyes. "Sure it isn't."
