Author's Note: I have not yet finished my other story, but wanted to get this little thing that I have brewing started. I am combining two worlds that I love. Taking what I know from both animated and comic worlds plus a few ideas, this is a crossover between Batman & X-Men. Hey it could happen. Love to hear your reviews. Hope you can figure out the people I'm not naming. :P

Summer Gleason's reports
"In serious news, the mutant population has been high on the discussion lists from politics to street riots recently due to the discussion of The Mutant Registration Act. The bill, if passed, will make sure that every mutant and their capabilities will be listed to the public. Professor Charles Xavier, an avid speaker against the bill, will be attending several debates and events in the next few weeks, starting here in Gotham."
"On a lighter side, the recent rumors of Wayne Enterprises and Worthington Labs combining on a new development to bring more jobs to the city have created much excitement lately. A spokesperson from Wayne Enterprises made a statement today declaring nothing has yet been set in stone, but both companies are anxious to work together. Warren Worthington III just recently took over the company after the passing of his father Warren Worthington II."
"I hate these stupid parties." The fifteen year old named Tim Drake tugged on his tuxedo tie.
"After awhile kid they all just blur into each other, but business is business I guess." His older adoptive brother Dick Grayson replied back to him as he tossed another bite size cracker into his mouth. "Where's the Commish and Babs tonight?"
"I think their not coming." Tim stated as he watch the crowd start to stir. "What do you think is going on?"
The voices around them grew and the word "Xavier" was spoke several times. Dick glanced over his shoulder as he heard one woman call the mutant population "savages, a disgusting race."
"Bruce let me introduce you to a very close friend of mine." Warren turned to the bald headed man in a wheelchair. "This is Professor Charles Xavier." Bruce obliged and stuck out his hand shaking the Professor's.
"I have heard much about you sir. It is a pleasure to finally meet you." The tall, dark haired man spoke pleasantly.
Dick and Tim watched from the sidelines as the tall blonde man known as Warren Worthington III make his introductions.
"Do you think that is his security team or just some friends?" The younger boy spoke up gesturing to the three that followed him. Two men passed six feet tall, both wearing sunglasses, one with red lenses, the other black and a lot more relaxed looking, smoking a cigarette. The last one being a dark skinned woman who was also tall dressed in a violet dress. Her hair on the other sorts was nothing of dark, but of snow white.
"Both." A women's voice spoke up.
"Thought you weren't coming tonight?" Dick said looking at the red headed Barbara Gordon, dressed in her short black dress, out the corner of his eye, still watching the introduction ceremony taking place.
"No, my Dad wasn't coming tonight." She coldly spoke, unusual for her and Dick noticed.
"Why is something wrong?" Dick took his eyes of the group he was watching to look fully at her. She was surprised by his concern considering once that they were called a couple, but the idea was thrown out of the window when he left unannounced for two years and was never discussed after his recent return. She let a slight smile on her face until he spoke his next sentence. "Is there someone out that he is looking for?"
Tim excitedly shifting in his spot to Dick's words anxiously waiting to leave if there was a problem. Dick had tried very hard not to become the man that he called an adoptive father, but in every way he had. Always about business.
"Actually the complete opposite." Taking her eyes off Dick and turning to the man in a permanent seated position across the room. "The man he is looking for is here." With that she took a step forward leaving the two men and their food to watch.
Barbara walked up to the group gathered around the man that everyone was gossiping about getting the attention of the dark skinned women who then greeted her with a white smile and hugging her.
"Did you know that she knew them?" Tim leaned over to the side to whisper to his older brother.
"No." He replied back as his eyes narrowed as he watched her being introduced to the man with dark sunglasses who took the time to kiss the back of her hand.
