Thank you all so much for reviewing. I'm glad you guys enjoy reading the series I enjoy writing them!

Faye decided it would be best to wait until later to tell Bruce her idea, after all she had a feeling he won't like it. The next morning everyone heading into work. Faye and Grayson went the tutoring rooms so they could begin today's lesson.

"Well I know for a fact you didn't finish your homework." She said putting down her stuff.

"Look, no offense but why do I want to read about a bunch of old dead guys?"

" You learn from history so you don't make the same mistakes. For example Napoleon after his failed attempt at attacking Britain tired to attack Russia in the winter, and failed miserably. Hitler after his failed attempt at attacking Britain tired to attack Russia in the winter, guess what happened to him? He failed. Now had he learned from Napoleon we may as well all be speaking German…now Hitler ruling the world would not be a good thing but you get what I'm saying right?"

"Yeah." Said Grayson pulling out a book.

"What book are you reading?"

"Robinhood."

"I've seen you reading it before, why not read something else?"

"I like this book."

"Why do you like that book?"

"I don't know." He said with a shrug.

"Don't give me that, I know there is a reason."

"I just think it's cool what he's doing, He puts people in their place, tells um they can't pick on people cause they are poor and stuff."

"But he's stealing from other people isn't he?"

"Yeah but he's doing it for the greater good, some people have to break the rules in order to help those in need. Like a vigilante, taking the law in his own hands."

"Or her."

"What?"

"His or her own hands it never stands anywhere that only men are vigilantes."

"Fan of Batwoman, Faye?" Said Grayson with a smirk.

"You could say that." Said Faye with a smile. "Now lets move on to my least favorite subject, math."

The rest of the day they continued their lesson until tutoring began then Grayson went from tutor to tutor until he found something interesting to learn about. Faye taught her regulars and when the day was over they all went home to get ready.

Tonight they were dinning with Silvia, Fredrick and Harry at a very nice restaurant. Grayson would be coming with them because he actually didn't mind talking to Harry much. When they got to the restaurant they noticed one extra member would be accompanying them to dinner. Silvia had already gotten them a table and as soon as they joined the group Harry and Grayson began to talk about cars while Bruce, Fredrick Faye, and Silvia discussed what Silvia was holding.

"Silvia you're holding a baby." Said Faye stating the obvious.

"I know, I'm watching her for a friend. I hope you don't mind. The little things been a angel all day and will probably sleep through most of dinner." Said Silvia.

"I told her just to leave it at home. It's like when Harry was little all over again, she won't put him down unless her life depended on it" Said Fredrick rolling is eyes.

"Her name is Anne and she is just the sweetest thing. Faye look at her isn't she darling." Said Silvia showing her the baby.

"Yes, she is." Said Faye looking down at the sleeping infant.

"Do you want to hold her?"

"Um..." Said Faye hesitantly she did not have much experience being round younger children.

"Oh you'll be fine." Said Silvia gently handing baby Anne over to Faye.

Faye looked down at the infant as it slowly opened her eyes and stared at Faye.

"You better be careful Bruce, your wife over here is going to start getting ideas." Said Fredrick.

"No, Fredrick I'm not. It's just not a good idea right now, Bruce had to work all the time, and I have my job. It's just not in the cards." Said Faye smiling down at the Anne who had just yawned.

"Yeah, now is just not a good time for something like that." Said Bruce with a slight reluctance. He couldn't help but realize how perfect the whole scene was, just relaxing with friends, and Faye holding that baby. It was a glimpse of the life he could have, but also the life he could not have. He looked down at his watch, he could spare another hour here before he would have to leave.

"Oh but with the life we lead when is their really a good time? You two could have some beautiful children." Said Silvia.

"I told you Silvia it's just not a good idea right now, Bruce and I have already discussed it." Said Faye trying to hand the baby back to Silvia.

"No dear, why don't you let Bruce hold her." Said Silvia.

"Um…I don't think that's a good idea, I might hurt her." Said Bruce.

"Nonsense, just mind her head." Said Silvia as Faye passed Anne over to Bruce.

"Silvia dear, it's a wonder anyone want to eat dinner with us anymore." Said Fredrick rolling his eyes.

"Oh there's not crime in letting them hold her, Fredrick."

"You're also being manipulative, they already told you they don't want children." Said Fredrick.

"We never said we didn't want them, just that is wasn't really a good idea. Plus we have Grayson to look after for now, though he's hardly a child." Said Faye, looking over at Bruce who was now holding baby Anne, it looked as though she had once again fallen asleep. Faye wasn't surprised, Bruce always had a very calming presence he made you feel safe. Silvia and Fredrick began to bicker like the old married couple they were which meant even though Bruce was now beginning to look slightly uncomfortable holding the sleeping child her could not hand to back to Silvia.

"Here I'll take her." Said Faye noticing his discomfort.

"Thanks." He said handing her over to Faye.

"Looks like she's asleep again." Said Faye with a smile.

"Yeah." Said Bruce.

Finally after a few minutes Faye handed Anne back to Silvia and they continued to eat dinner. At around 8 Bruce was called away for "work".

"That man is always working." Said Silvia.

"He's really busy with the company." Said Faye.

"Yeah sometimes they don't get home till two in the morning." Said Grayson who had been listening to the conversation.

"They?" Said Fredrick.

"Yeah, Faye helps him at work sometimes."

"You mean you put in all those extra hours too? No wonder you are both exhausted all the time. You need to slow down Faye." Said Silvia looking at her friend with worry.

"That's not really in the card either, Silvia. Sometimes I think Bruce and I will never slow down." She said with a sigh.

Soon after their conversation the bill arrived and everyone said their goodbyes before leaving. When Bruce got home that night Faye would tell him about her idea.

"No." Said Bruce taking off his mask after Faye told him her idea. He had just returned home and she had come down to greet him.

"Why not? You said he needs something to help him blow off steam. This would be perfect."

"I meant something normal like joining a recreational sport, like baseball, why can't you just make him do that."

"He doesn't want to do something normal, Bruce. He wants to kill The Joker, he wants revenge and if someone doesn't try and help him he's going to be completely lost. We can train him, let him bring The Joker to justice but not kill him. He needs to know that he can get as close to that line as humanly possible but not cross it. Let him take all that anger, and hate and channel it into something good. If anyone can teach him that it would be you, you understand him Bruce."

"I made a choice. He doesn't have to make it; he still has a chance to not make the same mistakes I have."

"So this is a mistake to you?" Said Faye hurt by what he had just said.

"No, not you and me that's not a mistake, but this." He said gesturing to his suit "this was. Tonight I saw a dinner the life I could have had. The reason we can't do some of the things we want is not because of work, you and I both know it's because of all this! I just keep telling myself that one day this city won't need me, but it always is isn't it?"

"Bruce…" Started Faye but she stopped when he slammed his fist on the metal table causing the sound to echo through the cave.

"He should never have to make any of the choices I have had to make. He shouldn't have to get caught up in all of this. He deserves to have a normal life. You deserve to have a normal life."

"You deserve to have a normal life Bruce." Said Faye putting her arms around him. "That why we should train him. I think you might be right about the city always needing you, but you can't do this forever."

"If the city needs me to then I have to."

"So then what? You do this until the day you die! The whole reason I started training myself we so I could fight your battles with you Bruce. So do we just do this until we are so old we can no longer face our opponents, and then we fall. A symbol lives forever Bruce, humans can't."

"Your saying we should train him so that he can replace me one day?"

"Yes, but he doesn't necessarily have to become you. That boy is very much and individual, maybe someday he would create his own symbol."

"I'll think about it, but if we do decide to do this, he gets a choice he can decide he don't want to do it anymore at any time."

"Okay, we won't talk about it anymore until you decide what we want to do. Now come on, you look exhausted, lets get some sleep." Said Faye taking him by the hand and trying to pull him upstairs.

"I have to change first. I can't go in the house wearing this."

"Alright. I'll meet you there." Said Faye giving him a quick kiss.

By the time Bruce got upstairs, took a shower and then changed into a pair of boxer and climbed into bed Faye was already asleep. However despite who tired he was Bruce could not sleep. Something Faye had said at dinner was nagging at him. He gently shook her to wake her.

"Hey at dinner did you really mean what you said?"

"Mmhm what did I say?" Said Faye half asleep rolling over to face him.

"That you wanted to have children it just wasn't a good idea."

"Bruce it's like two in the morning and we have to get up at 6." Said rolling away from him.

"I just wanted to know."

Faye rolled over to face him again "Yes, Bruce I would like to have your children, but seeing as I have an uncanny knack for finding myself in perilous situations every few months I really don't think it's a good idea."

"You're the only person I would every want having my children, even if you do have an uncanny knack for meeting dangerous criminals." Said Bruce with a smile moving a strand of hair out of her face.

"Yes, I love you too. But seriously Bruce I'm tired." Said Faye resting her head on his chest.

"Okay, goodnight." Said Bruce with a laugh before kissing her on the forehead.

Foreshadowing maybe? I not going to tell you if it is or not though, or even which incident I could possibly be foreshadowing, I guess your just going to have to keep reading then. Don't forget to review!
