Roselyn and Jess went back to the apartment with Dick. Rosie beamed when Dick congratulated her for being chosen to read her paper at the charity event the Wayne foundation was sponsoring. She was usually pretty quiet about anything she achieved in school. She had a feeling Barbara texted him right after she found out and she kind of wished she hadn't as she had a feeling she was still suffering from her blush. They entered the apartment and were greeted by Barbara who looked, well, tired again. Rosie frowned, wondering why she was so tired all the time lately.

Jess, who felt at home, went into Roselyn's bedroom after thanking Dick for dinner. The blonde had a missed call from her father and had to return it. This left Dick, Barbara, and Rosie in the living room. Roselyn watched as Dick sat beside Barbara on the sofa, putting an arm around her shoulder. Roselyn wondered when they'd get married since they obviously weren't going to break up permanently. She really liked when he was around. She wasn't sure why, but she really liked having a man around the house. It didn't take her long to say this to her therapist during a session. Her therapist had pointed out he was filling the void that was supposed to be filled by her father. It was funny to her because Dick was Tim's older brother. If Dick was filling the void of father, did that make Tim her uncle? The very thought was funny to her and she shared it with Tim.

Roselyn sat beside Barbara on the couch. She hadn't really seen her all day and she found herself missing her more than she felt was normal for most people. She did suffer from some separation anxiety, another list of her issues. She never had it before, but she never really had the chance to form an attachment with someone; not until Pammie.

Roselyn didn't know what she would do if Barbara suddenly wasn't in her life anymore. She didn't think she could handle losing someone just like that all over again. Barbara had become her sense of security. Unlike when she lived with Pamela where she could really only rely on Pam and sometimes Harley if she was staying with them, she now knew she had a whole support system and belonged to a family of many people. If something happened and Barbara couldn't get there, she had Dick. If Dick couldn't get to her, she had Selina. She had the whole Wayne family on her side as well as James Gordon, as much as she disliked him.

Roselyn went to check on Jess and found her passed out in her bed. Roselyn returned to the couch and stretched out at the end, her legs going across Barbara's lap. "How's Jess?" Barbara asked her and patted her legs.

"She fell asleep," Rosie replied with a yawn. "We had a big dinner."

"I heard," Barbara smiled. "Is Jess spending the night?" Her friend usually spent the night every Saturday. If she wasn't roaming around the city or socializing with her other friends, she could be found at the apartment.

"I think so," Rosie said. "Her parents are out of town again."

"I don't understand why they just leave her on her own," Barbara shook her head. "I'll let Selina know she doesn't need to come by tonight." Selina Kyle usually came and stayed most nights with Roselyn while Barbara went to work. Rosie never really asked where Barbara worked, but assumed she was part of the law enforcement, but not like her father. She liked to think Barbara was important enough to be working for the CIA or FBI.

Barbara felt comfortable leaving Roselyn and Jess on their own. Odds were, nothing would happen to them even if it was Gotham. That, and Barbara was smart enough to realize the other Rogues watched out for her. They were discrete about it, but even Joker liked his little joke too much to harm her. Roselyn knew she was safe in Gotham whereas nobody else really was. The worst of the worst were on her side because she had been part of their unstable family at one point. Other Gotham criminals were also afraid of what Poison Ivy would do to them if they harmed Roselyn. If word got out the second hybrid was killed, Ivy would probably break out of Arkham without a second thought and hunt down whoever hurt her.

Roselyn liked to think this herself and had talked it over with Barbara and Dr. Leland who explained the whole complicated mess that was Roselyn's well-being in Gotham. Harley, who still thought of Joan as a good friend, had explained all of this to her, saying how none of them would hurt Roselyn or go after her. It had become an unspoken rule: don't mess with Ivy's children. That included her plants and now Rosie.

"Dick, are you going to stay?" she queried.

"Sorry, Rosie. I promised Bruce I'd stay with him for a few days. He wants to do this whole father/son bonding thing," Dick replied. "I'll stop by again, don't you worry."

"Bring Tim next time," she smiled.

"Yes, ma'am," he mock saluted.

"I'm going to go in my room," Rosie announced.

"If I don't see you for the rest of the night, have a good night," Barbara said as Roselyn got up off the couch. She leaned down and gave her a hug and got a kiss on the cheek. She then said goodnight to Dick since he would probably leave once Barbara had to go to work. She went into her bedroom and shut the door behind her after brushing her teeth and doing her nightly routine. It was still relatively early, only eight, but she wasn't planning on going to bed. Instead, she went to her desk and turned on the small lamp. She started to write in her notebook about her day while Jess continued to sleep. Roselyn let her vines come out and they happily "looked" about the room, or whatever it was they did. As much as Rosie appreciated her plants, they were incredibly weird, but cute in their own way; especially when the vine which was attached to her back perched itself on her shoulder and nuzzled her.

Despite saying goodnight earlier, at around nine, Barbara poked her head in the bedroom and told Rosie she was leaving. Turning around from her desk, Rosie smiled and whispered a goodbye. One of these days, she'd follow Barbara to wherever it was she went for work. It would probably be anticlimactic. She had to stop herself from laughing out loud when she pictured Barbara as a simple telemarketer who called people overseas and tried to get them to sign up for US magazine subscriptions. She knew this couldn't be true considering she knew how expensive an apartment could be on this side of Gotham. That, and she went to a private middle school where most of the rich kids attended.

Roselyn noticed Jess woke up after Barbara left the room. She was currently just playing a game on her phone. When Rosie turned towards her, she smirked. Jess giggled when she saw her. "The whole place to ourselves," Jess suddenly sat up and jumped to her feet. She put on her slippers, which she left at Rosie's last time, and hurried out of the room. Roselyn put her journal in her drawer before following Jess out into the living room. Her friend had already put popcorn in the microwave and was currently on her knees digging through a drawer of DVDs.

"You find anything?" Rosie asked as she plopped on the couch.

"How about this?" Jess held up a DVD.

"A horror movie? Really?"

"Come on," Jess urged. "It'll be fun. We'll turn all the lights off!"

"Last time we did that, we ended up calling Selina. Bad idea."

"But Rosie," Jess whined.

"I don't even know why we own this movie," Roselyn rolled her eyes.

"I bet it's Dick's. And why does he like to be called Dick? Like, doesn't he know that…" Jess laughed and threw her head back.

"I'm sure he's aware, Jess," Roselyn sighed. "Pick something else out."

"Fine," Jess then mumbled something Rosie couldn't hear, but she didn't pay much attention to it. The girls settled on one of those cheesy romantic comedies and fell asleep about an hour and a half into it.

This is more of a filler chapter because stuff's going to happen next time!

Thanks again to everyone :)
