First, thank you so much to guest to give me some ideas for this chapter. I found them so cute I included them all:D Also, I'm so sorry Sean didn't have much lines in the previous chapter. The thing is, I already wrote that chapter months ago and added some Sean moments to it before updating it. I didn't want to stray too far away from the original written chapter, so that's why Sean didn't have much lines in it. But, I think I made that up with this one. LOL
I am not allowed to travel to the past to visit a seven year old Bruce
Presence:
Selina starts pounding against the glass of the back door window, when a familiar face comes in view. The young girl sighs in relieve when Bruce comes rushing toward the door, only, he starts to mimic something, worriedly.
"Sorry, Selina! I can't open the door." Bruce is on the verge of crying, showing her the big chains and the enormous lock. "Alfred hid the key."
"Don't you worry, B! I'll take the patio doors." Selina is about to bowl around the manor when Bruce suddenly taps against the glass. Selina turns back, alarmed.
"Locked that one too," Bruce mouthed.
"What!" Selina shouted. "You do something about that butler while I'll go to the past and have some fun time with you and Sean." Selina stomps off, angrily.
"Me and Who?" Bruce frowns
Past:
Selina charges through the secret hallway and into Bruce's room. The young birthday boy is still sleeping. Selina rolls her eyes.
"Wake up, you!" Selina drops herself beside the sleeping boy, who immediately jolts awake, with a grin. "Your butler sucks, did you know that?" Bruce shakes his head, quizzically. "Well, it turns out that he locked the door when I came back from your previous birthday. Every door and window, sealed. How rude, right?"
Bruce chuckles and nods his head up and down, rapidly. Then, the little billionaire jumps from his bed and into his clothes, grinning from ear to ear; "So, that means we are going to pull some payback pranks on Alfred, huh?"
Selina's lips curl up in an equal wide grin as Bruce's, and purrs; "I taught you well, my boy. Let's find Sean, shall we?" Bruce bobs his head, and there they go. Sauntering side by side down the hallway, skipping down the stairs and pop their heads around the kitchen door. So lucky that Alfred stands with his back toward them, which makes sneaking out a lot easier.
Quickly, the teen and the toddler tiptoe to the front door and swoop outside. But, Alfred's Military Ninja Assassin trained ears pick up a soft noise, and pops his head out the kitchen, prying to the front door. He was so sure he heard it shut closed.
Alfred shrugs it off and strolls back to the kitchen counter to resume icing Bruce's birthday cake. Then, it hits him. "NO!" Alfred bellows, throwing the icing knife down and dashes like a deer, elegantly up the stairs and charges into…. Bruce's empty bedroom. "NO!"
Alfred bowls up the bedroom window and is just in time to see a cat like girl climb over the Manor walls and lowers the little boy to the ground on the other side. Alfred pounds violently onto the window, loud enough for the girl to hear, and when she turns to see, he's swaying his fist at her, dangerously.
Selina simply grins in return, and with one quick leap, she's gone with Master Bruce in tow. Alfred knows he has to save the little boy from whatever that girl has in mind. Then, it hits him. Of course, she still has to pick up Sean Ornelas.
Alfred grabs his phone and dials Ornelas Manor's number. Sadly enough, no one is picking up. Alfred growls frustrated and throws the hook beside the phone, grabs his coat and rushes off to the take car. Maybe he will be at the manor before them.
Fifteen minutes later, Alfred finally arrives Ornelas Manor. He swings himself out of the car and charges up to the front gate, buzzing the intercom bell. It takes a long while before Mark Ornelas finally answers.
"Yes, Mr. Ornelas. It's me, Mr. Alfred Pennyworth!" Alfred hollers through the com, impatiently. "The Wayne family butler."
"Ah, hello, Mr. Pennyworth," Mark replies as he flips through some Ornelas Enterprises work files. He's so busy. His wife is away for a few days, their butler suddenly called to tell he was sick, and on top of all; Sean's school called to tell it was too hot for the kids to be cooped up in class all day.
So, Sean was totally over the moon, but Mark was not. This means his stacked work files needed to be done at home, while watching his son Sean. And that little boy already was a little energy bomb on his own. Sadly enough, Sean had the same reputation with all the babysitters, so none of them was excited enough to watch the little kid.
But then, there was Selina Kyle. She gladly wanted to take the little boy off his hands for a while. Mark looked a little sceptical because he knew she was a little weird, not to mention strange, rough and an energy bomb like… wait! Perfect solution. Mark literally pushed the ecstatic Sean into her open arms.
Like a happy cat that finally got her food, Selina darted off with the two boys, and Mark had two seconds of time to ponder whether his choice was right or not, when the buzzer went and he had to rush to the com to pick up, hearing Alfred on the other side of the line.
"If you're here for Bruce Wayne, Mr. Pennyworth… you just missed them." Mark removes his finger from the intercom button and resumes flipping through the files to wait for Alfred's answer. Aggravated growls, grumbles and roars is what the poor man hears. Then, the opening and shutting car doors, a roaring engine indicating the Wayne family butler spurted off.
Mark shrugs, hears the phone ring in the study and rushes to pick it up, getting a new hectic job to do. The copy machine at work had exploded. Really? How many times does he need to tell his employees, not to drink coffee by the copy machine!
"You both will look totally awesome when I'm done with you," Selina purrs, holding hands with both boys, as the walk alongside her. But then, out of nowhere, some little boys and girls started to shout very mean words at Bruce and Sean. One of the boy's, is Tommy Elliot.
"Look, the two ugly billionaire trolls are friends!" Tommy hollers and the entire group, including Tommy himself, guffawed loudly. The two toddlers clinch themselves around Selina's waist, sobbing softly.
Selina puffs herself up like an angry cat would do and starts chasing the future villain named Hush (aka Tommy) down. The young boy never had run that fast as he did now. Bruce and Sean clinch on one and another in fear as it looks like Tommy escapes from Selina, but is then knocked to the ground.
"Listen, little spoiled brat!" Selina says between clenched teeth. "You are so lucky I don't hit little boys, otherwise you would have been pulp by now! But trust me when I say this; I know where you live, and I absolutely have no problem with beating you to pulp in the future!"
Selina stands back up and drags Tommy on his feet as well, dusting the little boy off, forcefully. "Now, scram!" Tommy starts to run as fast as he can, while Selina shouts; "Remember, I might pay you a visit in the near future! So, keep all your doors and windows locked if you don't want me to enter your house!"
With a satisfied grin Selina returns back to her beautiful boys, muttering in herself; "Not that it will work. I always find a way in, but it's so fun to give the little boy a useless feeling of security."
Selina takes the little boys around her waist again, and Sean sobs softly; "They always call us ugly. Are we ugly, Selina?"
"No, you both are very handsome, and you're going to be even more handsome in the future, trust me!" The boys look up at her, their eyes growing wide. "Yes, girls will be fighting over you!"
"Really?" Bruce's mouth drops agape.
Selina thinks, shakes her head rapidly and says; "No, not really." The boys hang their heads down again, and Selina sees it, immediately feeling sorry for them again. "But, that's because I do all the fighting. The girls just run because they are scared off me."
"Why are they scared of you?" Sean frowns as he dries his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket. "You're not scary, at all. " Then, puffing his chest proudly; "When I'm older, I'm going to marry you, Selina."
"Yes, me too," Bruce yips, equally excited as his friend Sean.
Selina starts to blush, covering her heart with her hand and says; "Oh, my darling kitty toys! This kitty, wants nothing else than be your girl."
They laugh and head to the Flea where Selina buys with some of her money new street clothes for the boys. Bruce gets a denim pants with a brownish sweater and a black leather jacket, and a pair of children sizes combat boots. And Sean gets a black pants, black t-shirt and a black leather jacket. Selina wants to give him some cute combat boots as well, but Sean finally can persuade her to buy a pair of black Nikes.
"Awe, you two look so adorable!" Selina cries ecstatic and squeezes them into a cat-hug. The two tiny billionaires gloat happily.
Alfred steers his car through the streets of Gotham. For sure, the crazy, lunatic girl would take the two boys there. Alfred is 100% sure of that. Still growling, scowling and muttering angrily to himself, Alfred suddenly has to his the break because two toddlers cross the streets without watching where they were going.
Alfred opens the window on his side, pokes his head out and about to shout insults to the little boys, when he recognizes their clothing. "Master Bruce, Master Sean!" Alfred jumps out the car and leaves it in the middle of the streets while he starts chasing the two boys down. Finally cornering them into an alleyway, the butler realizes it's not Bruce or Sean, at all. They are just wearing their clothes.
Meanwhile, in a different part of Gotham (Gotham Park), Selina skids with her two street kittens into the park and over to the swing set. They find it occupied with other kids, but with one his, growl, and clawing nails, Selina had scared them off pretty quickly.
"I don't want to swing too high, because I'm scared of heights," Bruce says as he sits down into the swing.
Sean puffs his chest bravely and says; "I'm not scared of heights at all. You can swing me up as high as possible!" The little boy sits down as well, and Selina promises them both to do what they wishes. So, she starts swinging Sean's swing rapidly, while swinging Bruce's gently. They both giggle in joy, telling her to go faster. And faster they go.
30 minutes later they grow bored of the swing and tell Selina they want to go off the slide. Selina helps them to climb up the little ladder, settles herself parallel with the slide and taking both boys onto her lap. They clinch onto her to make sure they won't fall during the slide.
They giggle with pleasure as they slide down. Selina drops them onto the ground, beneath the slide, and starts tickling their bellies. They squirm, squeal and laugh loudly. Selina has no mercy for them, and they don't seem to mind as they tell her to tickle faster.
Then they take a little break and eat an ice scream. Bruce wants strawberry, and Sean wants chocolate. Selina takes for herself a scoop of each. Then Bruce and Sean wants two scoops as well, and the three of them end up eating exact the same ice scream. One scoop chocolate, and one scoop strawberry.
Then they sit for a while on a spring rocker, build a replica of Bruce's Switzerland chalet in the sandbox, do some exercise on the chin-up bars and monkey bars, which they need a little help with. They hang down the monkey bar while Selina holds them up by their waist as they swing from one bar to the other.
Then, Bruce and Sean sit both each on one end of a seesaw, hopping up and down, while Selina stands in the middle of the bar, balancing from left to right as the boys go up and down.
Afterwards, the young street girl takes the boys to a food stand and buys them a hotdog. They eat while sitting on the curb, and then she takes the two boys up to a fire escape and climbs to the rooftop of a tall building. From there they watch at the sun going down.
Selina wraps each arm around one of the boys, who tuck their heads against her and resume watching at the horizon until the sun was fully down. Two soft snores indicated the boys had missed that part. Selina watches at both boys with a gentle smile.
Slowly, without waking them, Selina stands up and takes Bruce onto her back, locking his arms tightly around her neck. She takes Sean on one of her arms and starts climbing down the fire escape, slowly.
A two hour walk later, the young cat-girl arrived at Ornelas Manor and buzzes the doorbell and Mark lets her in, totally baffled as he spotted his son, sleeping. Whatever he tried at night, Mark or his wife never succeeded to get Sean asleep for hours, because he still had too much energy inside him.
Selina grinned to that, handed Sean over to his dad, and the little boy woke up for a few seconds, staring warily at Selina. His tiny arms reaching out for her. Selina took him back for a hug, and Sean planted a tiny kiss on her cheek, which made the girl blush a little.
Mark took Sean back and offered Selina some babysit money, which she waved off. Then, waving one more time at Sean, Selina turned around and walked down the garden path, back to the gate.
Behind her, the young girl could hear Mr. Ornelas say to his son, jokingly; "You little Casanova. You sure know how to pick a pretty girl."
Back at Wayne Manor, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne came home and found the house empty. They called Alfred for an explanation, who told them not to worry. But, when Alfred says not to worry, they know they have to worry.
Alfred came home, and the pair asked the butler all kinds of questions about Bruce. Where he was? Etcetera, etcetera. Alfred didn't know what to say. He could say the little boy was hiding somewhere in the house, but they would know that was a lie. Alfred had no other choice then to admit he lost the little boy.
Alfred opened his mouth to explain, and Selina saved the day. She skipped inside with Bruce and cried with glee; "Thank you so much for letting me babysit Bruce, Mr. Pennyworth!" She beams a very sweet smile at the butler when she said that.
Alfred's mouth drops agape, and wanted to say something, but Selina whispers; "Or do you want to tell them I kidnapped them? I'm pretty sure they would love to hear, you didn't watch their son, like you supposed to do."
The butler drops his head defeated. Mr. Wayne takes Bruce in his arms, who quickly woke up long enough to give Selina a quick hug and kiss, and the family went up the stairs to bring Bruce to bed.
Selina turns around with a smirk, looked at her watch and purred; "A thank you would be in order." Alfred opened his mouth to object, when Selina quickly zips it tight with her finger and says; "You don't have to say the word, you know. I still have to wait for my friend, but in the meantime you can make me something to eat."
Alfred throws a stink-eye at the girl, but turns around and heads to the kitchen. Selina followed, purring; "Also, one other thing. In the future you lock down each door and window to keep me out. It would be very nice if you unlock them again. Or, do you want me to tell Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, you throw out a street girl in the future?"
Presence:
Annie and Selina arrived in the presence again, skipping happily upon the manor doors. Once arriving there, the girls found a surprise. Alfred had removed all the locks. He even opened the door for them, to welcome them back in.
Well, not really for welcoming them back in. He only opened the doors for them so he could kick their butts for time traveling again. And Selina received a few pummels extra. Mainly because she dared to threaten him in the past. And, for kidnapping Bruce Wayne.
Until which age do they call a child toddler? I still called them toddlers in this chapter, though I'm not sure if they still are. XD Anyway, what did you think of it, and how do you like Mark Ornelas? So, what was your favorite part?
Anyway, for the next chapter I'm not sure if Sean's parents will still be in it, because in the next one they reach the age of eight year old, and that's the age where Sean lost his parents. I still have to talk with TEDOG about that.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts, cz I love to hear them:D
