I have not forgotten about this! Life took over for a little bit and not had chance to update, so here is a little...teaser to the next chapter followed by an extract of it at the bottom. Full chapter soon!

Talon's bomb put the points together for Dick to become Bruce's protege and student. During the months, he develops a rivalry relationship with Tim Drake who sees that Dick and Bruce are a little too close and tries to stop it. Furthermore, during a press confrence where Bruce would reveal revolutionary tech, Catwoman, a world renowned thief arrives and intercepts, steals and drives the technology van to her employer, The Penguin. Can Bruce stop the van and recover the tech before Catwoman can deliver it?

From: Vikki

Bruce, we need to talk about our agreement. There has been a development, I need you to come to the safehouse.

Bruce checked his phone one last time before gulping down his nervousness and wiping the sweat from his brow. He was never good at public speeches. This would be one of his first after Lucius Fox stepped down and returned to his seat as R&D Director at Waynetech. His topic? To show off a fancy, multi-mode gun for the police force aimed to debilitate, disarm and execute if needs be. Bruce's phone vibrated again. "God dammit, Vikki. What now?"

From: Lucius

Bad news! The van with the prototype gun has been stolen by that Cat burgler on the TV! You are going to have to end the conference.

Bruce went pale as he turned to his butler and his apprentice, Dick.

"Dick, suit up. I need to wrap up here, but meet me at the old park on the rooftops."

Dick placed his hand on Bruce's shoulder. "Is it...Talon?"

"No. The prototype gun we were showing today got stolen. I am going to have to-"

Suddenly, without word Alfred too the stand. He straightened his tie and spoke in a firm, British voice. "My name is Alfred Pennyworth, the personal assistant of Mr. Wayne at home and on occasions, over at the Wayne Enterprises building. Mr. Wayne just got word that one of his uncles – his last surviving family member is sick, so this meeting will be cancelled until further date. Sorry for your disturbance."
