Here is chapter 3

Please review.

Bruce went down to see John the next day during lunch time. He found John at his laptop. "Mr. Jenkins, can I ask you a favour?" Bruce asked making John leap forty feet in the air. "Of course Mr Wayne." John replied "First of all you can start calling me Bruce. And second…" Bruce paused when he noticed John was watching something on his laptop. "Oh, that's my daughter Alexis." John said with a smile.

"That's who I was going to ask you about… Dick's birthday is coming up and I was wondering if your daughter could sing at his party…" Bruce asked John who sighed sadly. "I can ask her but I wouldn't give my hopes up. She hasn't sung on stage in front of people since she was nine years old. But I will ask her." John went on to explain why Alexis doesn't sing anymore.

"I can ask her now. Since I'm heading home." Bruce said, noticing John's expression of panic. "She is home right now." John said in relief. Bruce shook his hand and left. Bruce made it to Alexis's apartment building. He reached her apartment and knock. A minute later she opened the door and gasped in shock. But then she smiled a welcoming smile and said, "Hello Mr. Wayne, please come in."

Bruce smiled and followed her in to the kitchen. "Nice place." He commented. "Thank you. Coffee?" Alexis asked holding up the pot. "Thank you." Alexis poured the coffee and handed him one. "Come and have a seat." She said as she led him in to the lounge room.

"What can I do for you Mr. Wayne?" Alexis asked. "I was wondering if you could sing at Dick's birthday party in three months. Your father told me that you don't sing on stage in front of an audience. He told me why and I thought it was worth a shot to ask you."

Alexis lowered her head and stared in to her coffee mug. "Dick is a kind person and normally I would but I don't think I can…" She said in a sad tone. "I understand. You were very close to your mother… But give it some more thought."

Alexis nodded her head and then asked, "Have you eaten yet?" "No." "I'm about to make some sandwiches for lunch, would you like to stay for lunch?" "I'd be honoured, thank you." Alexis made the sandwiches. Just then Mathew, Nick, Joseph and Ian came rushing in. "You four have incredible sense of timing. Lucky for you I made a lot of sandwiches." Alexis shook her head at her brothers. Nick grinned and kissed her cheek. "You know you love us." Alexis grinned and push Nick off her, "Shut up and eat. Oh this is Bruce Wayne. Dad's boss."

Mathew was a man of few words, he just grinned and nodded in greeting. Bruce nodded in reply. Ian shook his hand. "Nice to see you again, Mr Wayne." "I don't think I've met you before…" Bruce said. He wasn't being rude or anything, he just didn't remember meeting Ian… "I'm Officer Jenkins with Gotham PD. I was guarding the front door of the police building during the ball a couple of months ago…" Ian prompted. "I remember now. Someone came rushing out at me with a gun and you had the man on his knees and handcuffed before anyone blinked. I've never seen anyone react that fast. Thank you." "That's what got me the job in Gordon's task force." Ian said with a smile. "Well we can feel safe with police officers like you around." Bruce grinned.

"And with Batman." Alexis whispered. Her brother's didn't catch it but Bruce did. Bruce grinned at her. "And with Batman." He repeated. "So Mr Wayne, What brings you here?" Joseph asked, taking a bite of his sandwich. "Mr Wayne is here because he wanted to ask me if I'd sing at Dick's birthday in three months." Alexis answered the question. Her brother's stared at Bruce in shock. "What did you say?" Nick asked. "I said I'll give it some serious thought." Alexis replied. Just then Ian's mobile went off. "Jenkins." Ian listened for a minute before saying, "Yes sir, I'm on my way." Ian hung up as he stood up. "I'm sorry, but a brawl has started near the library. They need back up." Alexis quickly wrapped the last sandwich up and gave it to him. Ian smiled and kissed her cheek. "You're the best sister ever." He said, "I'm you're only sister." She joked back. And he was gone.

Bruce could see how much Alexis adores her brothers and they obviously adore her. "So Mathew, what do you do?" Bruce asked. "I'm a mechanic." Mathew replied. "Oh that reminds me, can you give my car a check over, please?" Alexis asked Mathew. "I'll do that now. Nice meeting you Mr Wayne, let me know if you need a mechanic." Bruce smiled at Mathew and replied, "I will thank you." Mathew grabbed his sister's car keys and went down to the garage. Bruce stood up and said, "Well, I better get going..." Nick stood up as well. "I'll give you a lift if you like." He offered. "Thank you, I appreciate it." Bruce smiled at Nick and then he turned to Alexis. "I'll let you know when I have made up my mind." Alexis answered his unasked question. "That's all I'm asking." Bruce replied. "Nice meeting you Joseph." "Same here." Joseph replied.

Nick and Bruce got in Nick's car and they drove off. Bruce gave Nick instructions on how to get to the manor. "So what do you do Nick?" Bruce asked. "I'm a security guard." Nick replied. "You're built for it. Do you go to the Gym?" Bruce commented.

"Yeah, the four of us and dad go whenever we can. You?"

"I have my own Gym. I'm about to go and do some training now, would you like to join me?" Bruce asked. "Thanks, I have to work tonight so a little exercise can't hurt." Once they got to the manor Bruce asked Alfred to let them in. "Yes, sir." Alfred replied. And they went straight to the Gym. "Knock yourself out." Bruce waved an arm at the equipment. Nick went straight to the punching bag.

Back at Alexis's house, Mathew came back upstairs after checking Alexis's car over and sat down on the couch and turned the TV on. "Alexis, are you really thinking about singing again at Dick's birthday?" Joseph asked. "Yes, I am. But right now the answer is no. I can't…" Alexis replied.

Mathew looked at her with a serious face. "Can't? Or won't?" He asked.

Alexis didn't know how to reply to that question. "Don't worry baby sis. No one is forcing you to do it." Mathew said giving her hand a squeeze. Alexis smiled gratefully at him.

Truth is she didn't know what to do…

There is chapter 3. I am deeply sorry if it's too short.
