Dick looked in the mirror and straightened out his tie. There was a Wayne Gala tonight and Bruce had loaned him one of his tuxes that he hadn't quiet grown into yet the pants, jacket and tie where a maroon red with a white button up shirt. There was a tap on the door and Dick turned "it's open" he spoke

The door opened to reveal Bruce standing dressed in a black suit he stepped into the room and looked Dick over. "Hello Donnie, Alfred sent me up here to check and make sure you knew how to properly tie a tie and get dressed for Galas since not many people here experience going to these sorts of things" he sat down in a nearby chair and looked Dick over, he was dressed as if he were getting ready to enter one of the Galas from his time period "But I see that you are already fully dressed and don't need any help from me."

Dick nodded "It's a practice but once you get it down it's pretty simple" he said nonchalantly

Bruce nodded "That's a good way to put it, are your parents wealthy?" He asked

Dick shook his head "No sadly they passed away about 8 years ago" he explained

Bruce looked up at him confused "Not to be rude but how do you know how to dress for this type of occasion then?" He asked

Dick thought for a moment for the best way to answer the question "Well I'm the Ward to a wealthy man who has these sort of things often" he explained figuring he'd be honest but also limit the whole truth

Bruce stood and tilted his head to the side "Wow that's interesting, after my parents died it changed my life sure. But after Alfred was named my legal guardian, I just came back home and continued living my life as I had before. How is it being a ward and having someone you didn't know before your parent's death as your guardian?" He asked

Dick shrugged "In the beginning it was hard and there are periods where it still is but although my guardian can seem really tough sometimes he really is a genuine person and he cares for me" he said simply "If you'll excuse me I'm going to go check on Becky" Dick pointed across the hall to avoid any further questions from Bruce

"Sure go ahead, the Gala starts in 15 minutes but you two should probably try to be down stairs in 10" he explained

Dick nodded "Okay we'll be sure to be down there" he walked out the room and into Barbara's room she stopped doing her hair and quickly whipped her head around.

"Dick I could have been changing!" She barked at him

Dick chuckled "Well you weren't" he pointed

She rolled her eyes "Yeah but I could have been" she turned back to the mirror and continued doing her hair but stopped once again when Dick began laughing "I know what your laughing at, unfortunately unlike tuxes which have stayed relatively the same for years dress styles are constantly changing she gestured down to the lander colored dress with huge puffy sleeves and a giant bow tied around back

. "I wish I had my phone right now so could take a picture you look hilarious" Dick continued to make fun as he poked her teased up stiff hair full of hairspray

"Well lucky for me phones with cameras won't be invented for at least another 10 years" she put the finishing touches on her hair and turned to look at him "So without making fun of me...how do I look?" She asked

Dick teasingly rolled his eyes "if I say you look like you could be in a John Houghs movie does that count as an insult?" He rose an eyebrow

Barbara smiled at him "I guess not, he did direct basically every classic 80s teen movie" she grabbed a comb from the vanity "Come here and let me fix your hair" she waved

He looked at her "What's wrong with my hair this is how I always do it." He gestured

She shook her head "We need to do it the way a teen in the 80s would" she explained standing on her tip toes she combed his hair which was combed to the side and slicked it backward after she was satisfied she stepped back "There now see" she said moving out of the way so he could look in the mirror

Dick stepped forward he chuckled at his reflection "Yeah I guess you're right, I could now pass as the guy from Pretty in pink" he joked then glanced down at his watch "We better get going Bruce said we need to be down there in about 3 minutes now" he told her offering his arm she nodded and stepped forward linking her arm with his.

They were down stairs for only a minute before Alfred got everyone's attention the room became quiet and everyone gathered around the grand staircase "Thank you everyone for coming to the annual Wayne Spring charity Gala, it is at this time that I would like to introduce the Master of the house and the inheritor of Wayne enterprises Bruce Wayne" Alfred gestured

Bruce stepped forward making himself visible. "It's interesting to be on the other side of this" Dick whispered

Barbara nodded "It's even more interesting to see Bruce enter one of these things without a money sucking woman on his arm" they both stiffened a laugh and watched the young Bruce make his way down the stairs.

"Miss. Becky, I see you were able to find a dress" Alfred said after approaching the pair.

Barbara nodded "Yes Alfred I did, thank you for giving me the money to go get one"

Alfred chuckled "Well you are welcome, but it is Master Bruce you should be thanking he's the one who gave me the money to give to you. If you'll excuse me I need to go make sure the wait staff is handling the food correctly" Alfred excused himself

Dick tilted his head "Let me get this straight, Bruce gave Becky money to go buy a new dress but Donnie gets to borrow a suit?"

Barbara smiled "Well I guess we now know who will always be his favorite" she teased.

Dick and Barbara noticed that all the adults' attention was directed toward the dance floor they followed their gazes to see what was drawing everyone's attention

Bruce was dancing with the young Selina Kyle who was dressed in a long red dress with puffy sleeves like Barbara's adorned a with beautiful gold necklace and earrings

"Well judging by Selina's dress I'd say young Brucey bought her dress too, so the only reason he bought your dress is probably because Alfred insisted it was the gentlemen thing to do. Not feeling so special now are you?" Dick teased

Barbara crossed her arms and pretended to pout

"Oh come on Babs, you know you'll always be my favorite friend. Why else would I always ask you to be my plus one at the galas in our time." He grinned

Barbara rolled her eyes and uncrossed her arms "Only because you can't keep a girl long enough for her to be your date" she smiled back

They each grabbed a glass of punch and made their way through the crowded room, trying to see if there was anyone else they may recognize from their time period

After a little while of not finding anyone they decided to watch the couples on the dance floor.

"Wanna dance?" Dick asked extending a hand as the band began to play the song 'Take my Breath Away"

Barbara smiled at him "Why do you want to dance to this song? Is it so you can feel like Tom Cruise?" she joked hearing the iconic song from Top Gun playing

Dick shrugged "What can I say I feel the need, the need for speed!" he quoted the movie and winked at her.

She laughed and allowed him to lead her out to the dance floor they began dancing to the song "Could you be anymore cheesy" she said as she hook her arms around his neck

Dick twirled her around, she allowed her head to fall back and he brought her back up "You want cheesy? I can be cheesy let's let them play 'Time of my life' and I'll do the whole lift thing"

Barbara's eyes widened at the image of it "You do that and I will make sure you accidently get left in the 80s once we figure out a way to get out" she mockingly threatened

"Speaking of, how are we going to get out of her?" Dick asked

Barbara shrugged "I honestly have no clue, I mean it's not like Batman has ever taught us what to do in the case that we accidently get trapped in another decade. Do you think time is going by without us there?" she asked

The song ended and they began walking to an empty table "I don't know but I hope so because that would mean that the league or at least the team are working on a way to get us back. If not we might be stuck here for a while at least till Bruce starts thinking about becoming Batman, so that we can tell him who we really are and he can help us. But that won't be for another year or two"

"So I guess in the meantime all we can do is wait?" Barbara said

Dick nodded "Basically seeing as there aren't many options at this point"

A waiter came by and gave them both a plate of food. They both began eating

The next morning

Dick woke up early, he found himself unable to go back to sleep and full of energy. Normally at home he'd just go exercise or train in the Batcave in this situation. Then he remembered that Bruce had told Becky and Donnie during the house tour that the gym was open to them whenever they wanted he hopped out of bed and slipped on the acid wash jeans then made his way across the hall to Becky's room. He opened the door to see Barbara already awake but still lying in the bed

"Good your up, come on lets go exercise I have so much pinted up energy" he sat on the edge of the bed

Barbara pushed herself up and nodded in agreement "I can't remember the last time we went this long without going on patrol" she slid out of the bed and they made their way up the stairs toward the gym

Dick and Barbara were deep in a sparring match when they heard the gym door open. Their bat senses kicked in and they stopped almost immediately, turning toward the door to see young Bruce standing there in a white tank top, black sweats and a towel over his shoulders.

"What were you two doing?" he asked stepping further into the room

Dick shifted his eyes "What do you mean?" he asked wondering how much his future mentor had seen.

"It looked like you were doing some form of martial arts or something" Bruce told him

"That is exactly what we were doing, we are both trained in it. Do you know any?" Barbara explained stepping forward.

Bruce nodded "I know a little, Alfred has been teaching me, ever since the last time I got kidnapped. You'd be surprised how self-defense training could help you in those situations" he said walking over to a weight bench where he began lifting

"I could take a wild guess" Dick mumbled earning an elbow to the gut from Barbara

Bruce tilted his head to look at them taking a second away from his weight lifting "But the way you two fought, and how you both stopped basically at the same time as soon as you heard me enter. You were so in sync, what type of martial arts is that?" he asked curiously then got back to lifting the weights

Dick and Barbara both looked at each other hoping the other would have a reasonable explanation

"It's a practice, a mixture of different martial arts. We started classes together when we were young and our trainer is pretty dedicated to his work" Dick finally answered hoping Bruce wouldn't press any further

Bruce was pretty focused on his workout so he nodded his head "Oh okay, well hopefully I'll get to your level one day. If you're done Alfred is down stairs preparing breakfast. I'll be down in about 20 minutes" he said watching himself in the large mirror

Seeing the opportunity to escape further questioning from Bruce Barbara nodded "Yeah I think well go eat I'm pretty hungry. Come on Donnie." She waved

"See you in a little bit Bruce" Dick excused himself and followed behind his friend heading toward the kitchen.
