Disclaime: I own nothing

An added bonus as people like it so much. Please review so I know what you're thinking

Lexa was scanned from head to toe for her suit and glared at Raven when she was relieved her assets weren't large and she didn't have to make the suit look stupid to accommodate them. But she also needed muscle too and to bulk up.

"I'm not asking you to be Rhonda fucking Rousey but at the moment you're a twig. If you had to fight someone like Baine as Batman did then you'd be screwed" Raven stated

Another hour was spent playing with designs and Lexa said she wanted black, she didn't care if Bruce's had a gold belt once or incorporated dark grey. Raven had an idea of padding the suit a bit to make her look bigger until she bulked up. It would still be light weight, breathable, and flexible while not compromising on safety.

"You can take small arms fire. Forty cal or less but if they bring out the big guns you gotta get the fuck outa there" she advised. "Give me a week for the first fitting. I'd be quicker but the Mrs. has me by the balls, gotta get home on time or else"

"Um right" Lexa didn't know whether to be amused or what at the open honesty of Raven.

Shortly thereafter they headed back above ground, well to Raven's office where they talked more and Raven said she would bring the suits to hers when done. Though to expect Abby too as she would want a piece of the action and have her own opinion. Lexa wasn't entirely sure she was comfortable with a lot of people knowing and she wasn't even sure herself she wanted to be some masked crusader. Shrugging she left, she had a suit to get for that night, stupid birthday.

Raven called her wife as soon as she was alone on their secure line. Abby was less excited. Lexa was an unknown factor and they didn't know how she was going to go. She would make up her mind once she had seen her in action. She was looking forward to being a personal GP to a superhero though. She remembered the times of Batman and hoped Lexa was half as good as he was. She reminded Raven not to be late home that night and they said their goodbyes.

Lexa had a blast flirting with the young women who were helping her pick out a suit for her party that night. The only reason their boss, who looked like he had sucked a lemon, didn't step in was because she had flashed her platinum card with the Wayne insignia on it upon arriving and his eyes had lit up with dollar signs.

She left the store at 1pm with several suits and the phone numbers of the girls, Harper and Monroe. She'd have to go back there to shop at some point again. She stopped at a waterfront seafood restaurant for lunch and enjoyed a meal of prawns and lobster before heading home at 3.

Gustus instructed her to change into some other clothes with sturdy boots and come find him in the library. Half an hour later, both dressed in cargos, muscle shirts and boots Lexa watched as Gustus showed her a few keys on the piano. Her jaw dropped in shock at seeing the bookshelf swing open. She shouldn't have been surprised as Raven did warn her about the cave. She just hadn't been expecting to reach it from the house.

Stepping behind the bookcase brought them into a cage elevator and they headed down what she thought would be 3-4 floors before she was aware they were in a vast cave. She heard running water and looked across. The waterfall at the bottom of the cliff. Seriously. They were under that? Cool.

The rest of the cave was like a museum to Batman. Gus showed her some of his old suits, from the first one up to the improvements they had made. She felt the texture of the latest one and it felt heavy. Gustus reassured her that Raven had found a way to make it a lot lighter and at the same time more protective. It would hurt if she was shot, hit or stabbed but it wouldn't kill. Lexa nodded, still overwhelmed.

She had a play with some of the gadgets, trying not to laugh when she nearly hit Gustus with a grappling hook that she shot off accidentally. She put it down quickly. She'd play another day. She would have to train with them, she was used to knives and swords, not grappling hooks and whatever the bat symbols were that she had to throw.

Maybe she could change that, get Raven to invent some things that suited her better.

She had a bit more of a look around the cave which seemed endless before Gustus reminded her they had a party that night and the caterers would be arriving soon and they needed to be ready. With a heavy sigh Lexa headed back to the house with him. She had a lot to think about. It would be good to have all these cool vehicles and gadgets, but she was still iffy on the suit and putting her life on the line for the city. She promised Gustus she would be ready by seven and headed upstairs for some quiet time before the party. Argh, she hated parties.

Gustus watched her go, knowing the weight he had just put on her shoulders. He believed in her though. She was smart and tough. Just what this city needed. The doorbell rang and he hurried to answer it to let the caterers in, showing them through to the kitchen and the ballroom before heading off to get ready for the evening himself.

Dr Clarke Griffin was late and was thankful she had her own office with a private bathroom. She was also grateful she had the insight to bring her dress she would need for the party tonight at the Wayne mansion. It was just going on seven and she was only now heading out of the hospital to pick up Bellamy her date for the evening.

Not that she dated Bellamy; he was a high school friend, and more like a brother to her. He and his sister Octavia had grown up just down the road from her. He had asked of course but when she said she would rather date Octavia than him he got the message. He was a great guy and a great detective. Gotham Police Department was lucky to have him.

She waved to some of the nurses she worked with and Nyko, the head physician in charge, as she made her way into the elevator. She checked her blue dress in the wall mirrors and nodded, she looked good. The doors were just closing when a hand stopped them and she tried not to groan when Dr. Finn Collins stepped in. She let the groan out when he saw her and let out an appreciative whistle.

"Clarke" he grinned "you're looking ravishing tonight"

"Dr. Collins" she replied coolly ignoring him the best she could. He was a brilliant doctor and decent enough looking which he played on. He was a womanizer of the highest order and had been trying for six years to get a date with her.

"So what's the special occasion?" He asked and she shrugged

"Alexandria Wayne's birthday party"

"Oh right, the mummies work for her company" Finn nodded then gave her a smile when she glared. The fact one of her best friends was married to her mother was a source of great amusement to some assholes. Clarke will freely admit she was freaked at the start but there was no doubting the love between them. Even now, ten years later she still caught them in compromising positions and received several complaints from her half siblings about how gross their parents were.

"Fuck off Finn" she spat as she stepped out of the elevator and headed for her car just as her phone rang. Argh. She dug in her purse, pulling it out in time to see Bellamy's smiling face looking back at her from the screen and swiped it to answer.

"Hello Bellamy, yes I know I'm late, I got held up in surgery" she snapped

"Whoa, hello to you too Princess." He chuckled and she sighed looking over her shoulder to find Finn standing in the elevator still, smiling at her.

"Sorry Bell, run in with Finn" she said loud enough for the man could here.

"Again?"

"Yeah, for a smart man he's rather daft and won't get the hint." She watched him scowl and his eyes turned cold "wow the look I'm getting now. If anything ever happens to me Bell I suggest you look at Finn after the look I just got"

She slid into her BMW SUV and put her purse to the side. "I'm just leaving the hospital now"

"Good. I'm out the front. I knew you'd be late. See you in a second" and he hung up. She rolled her eyes and shot out of the car park, ignoring Finn who was still staring. The guy gave her the creeps. She pulled around to the front of the hospital emergency department and saw Bell standing there looking dapper in his suit and tie. He slid into her car and leant across to kiss her cheek.

"You look gorgeous" he complemented

"Please don't start. I've had enough of men for tonight" she grizzled and he laughed and changed the subject telling her how excited he was for tonight and how pissed Octavia was to miss it. He'd had to remind her she was looking after their nephew and niece, the Reyes terrors, otherwise known as Clarke's siblings. Octavia was split on who had the best deal. Clarke said he could take Octavia and she would go look after her brother and sister. Bellamy laughed and told her to stop wussing out; it had been ages since she had gone out.

Clarke sighed, she still didn't know why she had gotten an invite. Sure her mother and Raven worked for Wayne Enterprises but she didn't and she was just one of many doctors in the city. Well actually she was a surgeon, Gotham's leading surgeon and had been a bit of a child prodigy. Still it was Alexandria Woods, youngest ever billionaire, what did they have in common? Little was known about her other than she was Bruce Wayne's younger cousin and had inherited his estate and her parent's estate which nearly put her in the damn trillionaire league. The young woman didn't work, she didn't need to. There was some talk she was a champion fighter in Asia where she had been living but no one could find anything that wasn't four or more years old. Since then, nothing.

They were at the mansion before she knew it and she was handing her car keys to a salivating punk called Murphy. She reminded him she was good with names and knew there were no scratches on her car and what the mileage was. He swallowed and nodded. Bellamy then flashed his badge and she was sure she saw him sweating as Bellamy warned him and the other guys to take good care of the cars.

They headed for the front door which was open and she showed her invite to security.

"Miss Clarke Griffin plus one" the man checked the tablet he was holding and nodded "Certainly ma'am this way" he smiled and led the way to the back of the house to a giant ballroom, filled with party guests that also spilled out onto the back patio. "Coat room is over there, presents on the table in the corner. Enjoy your evening"

"Wow, how the other half live" Bellamy muttered as they watched the security walk away before turning back to the open room.

"Fuck Bellamy, I forgot a present"

Bellamy snorted "I don't think you could get her anything she doesn't already have"

They agreed on that before Clarke went and checked her handbag into the coat room but gave Bellamy her phone in case there was an emergency. There was no text from her mother which meant they weren't worried about her nonappearance just yet. She looked at her watch, 7:40 hmmm not too bad.

"Let's go find mum and Raven" she told him, taking his hand and leading them off. They grabbed a glass of champagne on the walk and Clarke skillfully avoided several people that she knew but didn't want to talk to, including Marcus Kane who her mother had been dating before she got with Raven. He was a nice enough man but not suited for her mother and she'd been relieved when her mother wasn't dating him anymore. Freaked out she was dating Raven but yeah. Now it was just awkward.

She led them outside knowing that after being cooped up in a basement all day Raven would want to be in the fresh air. She was correct and soon found them standing near the bar talking to none other than Bellamy's boss, the Commissioner of the Police who was in full dress uniform. Bellamy groaned. The woman was such a hard ass. Irritable Indra they called her. But when it came down to it she could back her crew up on the street which was more than what some could do.

Also standing with the group was none other than Alexandria Wayne, talking animatedly with Raven and nodding. She looked stunning in a black dinner suit that fit her perfectly. Her hair was slicked back and braided in an intricate pattern that Clarke itched to try for herself. She was simply gorgeous and Clarke had to swallow hard around her suddenly dry throat.

It was only when Bellamy tugged on her hand and frowned back at her that she realized that she had come to a perfect stop in awe. Oh. She tugged her hands free of his and his frowned deepened before he looked towards where she was staring and then grinned.

"God you were always a sucker for brunettes" he chuckled "hint taken, want to appear available for hot billionaire" he nodded as they walked the last few steps. Everyone looked up at their arrival and she suffered a hug from her mother and Raven while Bellamy greeted his boss who introduced him to Lexa as the best young detective in the city. Lexa nodded and shook his hand.

Bellamy then reintroduced Clarke to his boss who greeted her with a nod. She had always clashed with the woman. She had no idea why. Bellamy assured Indra liked her and her accomplishments. Clarke wasn't so sure.

Next she turned to Alexandria and was absolutely lost in the most beautiful green eyes and the most stunning face she had ever seen. The dark haired woman stared right back until Bellamy nudged Clarke.

"Um hi I'm Clarke, Clarke Griffin" she offered her hand to shake

"Abby's daughter yes" Lexa nodded taking the hand "I've heard about you, it's a pleasure to meet you Clarke, I'm Lexa"

"Lexa" Clarke croaked huskily as instead of shaking her hand Lexa raised it to her lips to kiss her knuckles while looking deep into her eyes.

"Oh shit just got real" Raven chuckled beside them which earned a slap from her wife as she watched on in concern. Mainly because she knew what Lexa was about to get herself into and that would only bring danger to Clarke's door.
