Chapter 3
Half an hour later the 2 men walked into the room just in time to see Jess and Alice beat the Wayne boys 10 to 2.
"You must be cheating," Tim cried before noticing the adults in the doorway, "they're cheating."
Jess's palms started to get hot while a shape that looked like a lightning bolt shot in Alice's eyes before they became very cloudy, stormy even. Thunder rumbled outside the window and rain started to pelt the window.
"Don't call us cheaters, we didn't cheat," Alice growled.
"Don't call us liars either," Jess added. Out of the corner of her eye Alice finally saw the sudden storm and ran over to the window.
"Look at this storm, isn't it amazing?" Alice gushed before she began to twirl. As she did this the storm clouds outside began to swirl.
Dick met Bruce's eyes. Now Alice had turned back to the window.
"And have you see the lightning," Alice began clapping and as she did a new bolt of lightning would come across the sky, every time her hands met.
"OK, I think it is time for dinner, don't you?" Bruce announced trying to cover the awkward silence that had fallen over the room. Dick and Tim eagerly agreed. The group of 6 headed downstairs and took their seats at the long dining table.
The dinner passed by with a flowing conversation, Afterwards the group headed into the main lounge area, after about 15 minutes Dick leaned down and said something to Jess, who's eyes were transfixed by the flames of the fire. As Dick talked the fire gradually became bigger, it didn't rise much but it was still noticeable by Bruce. Not very long after Dick and Jess's exchange Dick left the room presently followed by Jess. Slight whispering could be heard and laughter echoed down the hall joined with running footsteps, as the 18 year old's made a not so discreet exit.
"Well Dad, at least her attitudes gone," Alice remarked earning a laugh from Tim.

Dick's pov
Once the pair had stopped running and laughing they had come to a small secluded room.
"I heard about what happened last night," Dick decided to say what had been on his mind all night.
"Oh" was all she replied.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, a bit shaken, also one of the guys who saved us was really idiotic, he asked if I could walk when my legs buckled underneath me," Jess scoffed slightly. Dick looked at his feet. They carried on talking until the clock struck 10 and Frank called for Jess, he said that Alice was practically asleep and they needed to go. Jess gave Dick a peck on the cheek, her own cheeks turning a dark crimson before she got up and walked back to the entrance hall. Once the pair had rejoined them, everyone said their goodbyes. For Frank a strong handshake. For the girls a hug. As Jess hugged Dick, she whispered something to him and slipped a piece of paper into his hand. Once all the goodbyes were said Alfred kindly opened the front door and the Belle's stepped out into a waiting car. Alfred closed the door and walked to the kitchen. Once he was out of earshot Tim and Bruce turned to Dick, both of them smirking.
"What was that about?" Tim asked, trying not to laugh.
"What was what about?" Dick replied calmly though a blush was creeping up his cheeks.
"Now Tim, don't tease your brother, Jess quite clearly gave Dick her number. Judging by the fact she said to him 'give me a call sometime'," Bruce told the younger boy, causing Dick's blush to deepen.
"You heard that?" Dick mumbled.
"Yes, now go suit up you two, patrol in 15 minutes."

Jess's pov
"So, I'm guessing by the look on Miss Jess's face that they weren't horrible, she had lots in common with them and they are down to earth," Asked Roger as the family walked through the door. Jess quickly turned away, hiding her face.
"She did," Alice piped up, "she gave Dick her phone number."
"How did you know that?" Jess quickly turned to face her sister, a hot blush making its way onto her cheeks.
"I saw it," Alice said like it was the most obvious thing. Jess lunged at her sister but was stopped by Frank stepping between them.
"Now is not a time for fighting, it's late, so you should go to bed." Alice and Jess trudged up the stairs and got ready for bed. Before going to sleep, Jess checked that all the windows were locked and that the doors were shut tightly, paranoia from being kidnapped taking over. Alice was asleep by the time Jess reached her. She was flopped on the bed, still in her dress. Jess grabbed a blanket and put it over her sister before she left the room. When she reached her room, she took a quick shower and changed into sweats and a tank top before going to bed. Her phone lay next to her and just as she reached over to switch off her light her phone buzzed and lit up. It was an unknown number but she had feeling she knew who sent it. She picked up her phone and read the text.
"Hey, do you want to go out for pizza on Saturday? I know this great little place on the outskirts of Gotham. So... let me know. Night, Dick. " Jess couldn't help but smile as she read that.
"Sounds nice, pick me up at 7. Good night, Jess." She put her phone back on her bed side table and went to sleep.

Alice's pov
Alice was in the kitchen on Friday morning when Jess came downstairs. Jess was on her phone a huge smile on her face, as she entered the kitchen she looked up.
"Alice, why are you still in your dress?" Jess looked extremely confused yet her eyes shone with excitement.
"I woke up in it, didn't see any point in changing," Alice shrugged. Just then Jess's phone buzzed and she quickly unlocked it and looked at the message. She couldn't help letting out a small laugh.
"What are you laughing at? Who are you texting?" Alice quickly reached out and snatched up Jess's phone, she scrolled through the texts.
"Oh my gosh, you're going on a date?" Alice slammed her hand on the counter she as sitting at as she said gosh. Outside the window a huge strike of lightning hit a tree in their neighbors front garden. Jess looked at it sceptically.
"Yes, tomorrow night."
"Oh, let me help, pretty please,"
"No."
"Why?" Alice held the word on until Jess stopped her.
"No, because you don't know anything about dating," Jess grabbed an apple before heading off to her room to get some studying in before school started, she wanted to get ahead. Not that she could with Alice coming in her room every 5 minutes to 'help'.

Saturday
Jess's pov
Jess had just finished getting ready when the door bell was rung.
"No, I'll get it Roger," she shouted to the butler reaching for the door handle as she ran down the stairs. She quickly composed herself before she swung open the door to reveal Dick in dark jeans with a royal blue polo shirt and black converses.
"You look nice," Dick remarked. Jess looked at her clothes. She was wearing a purple spaghetti strap vest top that floated out with light skinny jeans and high topped converses to match her top.
"So do you," Jess looked back at Dick.
"Ready to go?"
"Yeah," Jess grabbed her phone and slipped it into her back jean pocket, shouting quickly to Alice she closed the door, grabbed Dick's hand and ran down the drive way.
"Why are we running?"
"To get away from Alice," as Jess said that they arrived at Dick's car. They climbed in just as the front door swung open with Alice standing there.
"Go, go, go," Jess urged.
"You're so mean," Alice shouted down the drive, dark clouds began to cover the sky despite the lovely weather previously. The car went out onto the road and the sky's were suddenly clear again. Once they were safely away from the house Dick burst out laughing.
"What was that about?" Dick let curiosity get the better of him once he stopped laughing enough to talk.
"She's been trying to help me, I managed to avoid her all day, I learnt my lesson after yesterday," Jess said looking out the window, a small smirk on her face.
They arrived at a small pizza place just behind the park. Dick led her in and sat opposite Jess at a booth in the corner. A waitress was soon with them.
"Hi, what can I get you? Oh, hello Dick," the waitress smiled after noticing him.
"Hi Wanda, this is Jess," Dick gestured to Jess before looking back at Wanda.
"So, I'm guessing it's your usual Dick?"
"Yes please, Jess?"
"I'll have a Hawaiian and a lemonade please,"
"Alright I'll be back with your orders soon," Wanda gave them a toothy smile before turning on her heel and leaving to the kitchen. While they were waiting they had a flowing conversation, mainly about Alice. When the waitress arrived she had 2 Hawaiian pizzas and 2 lemonades.
"Looks like we have a lot in common," Dick said a smirk making its way onto his face.
"I suppose we do," Jess matched his expression. They ate in comfortable silence. Jess admiring the restaurant.
"So, how did you, of all people, discover this place," Jess looked Dick in the eye and he got a nostalgic look on his face.
"My parents brought me once when I was 7 and the circus had stopped in Gotham. When I moved here it became a favourite spot of mine," a small smile on his face, Jess reached across the table and squeezed his hand. He cheered up a bit and they continued with their food.
Once they were finished and paid they went for a walk in the park. Looking up you could see the faint glow of the moon. Dick took Jess's hand and she let him. They walked around the park quietly until a faint yellow light caught their eyes. The bat signal.
"Looks like the town is wanting Batman again, nothing unusual there. Everyone here thinks he's amazing," Dick marvelled, a faraway look in his eyes.
"I don't. I loathe the man. And his little Bat clan. Robin is just a kid who is aspiring to be him, putting himself in danger for praise he isn't going to get. Batgirl is the same. And Nightwing, the original robin, well he is full of himself, just like the bat himself, he's also a huge idiot. Batman is just all about himself, he wants the glory, he is hard and cold though. He is a stereo typical hero, just doing stuff for himself really. I hate that guy," Jess's anger built up as she said her little speech. As she was ending her hand, the left one, coincidentally being held by Dick began to steam and on the last word it burst into flames. Dick quickly pulled his hand away as Jess's face burned red.
"Oh my... I'm so sorry," Jess slightly moved her wrist, "look at the, look at the time, I've got to, got to, bye." With that Jess turned and ran away from the park all the way home. She was embarrassed and slightly scared, there was only one thing she could do. She ran inside the house and up to her room. She pulled out a phone and called a number she never thought she have to and she really didn't want to.
"Look, I know I absolutely hate who you are but I, we, need your help. Really weird things have been happening and I hate it."
"We'll be there in 20 minutes, be ready to go."
