Ivycreed6: Well again I am here to say I am sorry for my absence. I got caught up in all sorts of projects and school and everything was crazy. Some of those projects have now been canceled leaving me time to focus again on my account. I wasn't sure what to do with this story until I was reading some stuff by my favorite BM/WW authors this morning and they made me decide no matter how many breaks I take I owe it to they people who like the story to finish. I am sorry that this is only a small tid bit but it really helped me with my thought process and is to let people know I am back...dont worry the next part SHOULD be up soon. I apologize for any mistakes because I only checked it myself.

Title: Memory


Chapter 7: Plans

Alfred knew Bruce Wayne better than anyone…even better than Bruce himself. Practically raising the boy made reading his face quite simple and he often took advantage of his unique ability. He knew how Bruce felt and when he knew his charge needed it he offered sage advice or lent an ear in case he needed to talk. However, Bruce had been even more distant than usual for months now remaining in the cave researching what exactly had happened to the princess who had obviously won his heart long ago. However, the dreary mood in the mansion had begun to lift recently as Diana began training with Bruce. It was rocky at the start, in fact he'd witnessed Bruce acting down right cold to the princess, but as her fighting skills improved so did Bruce's mood. On one recent occasion Bruce even managed to smile a little at something she'd said…progress for his charge indeed.

Diana, too, seemed different now than she had before, all those months ago when she appeared on the doorstep of Wayne Manor wanting to speak with Batman. Diana was becoming more like the Amazon he remembered every time he saw her. She was not quite as lost now and her confidence was much higher.

He cared a great deal for her because of what she'd done for his adopted son in the past and wanted what was best for her as much as Bruce… So of course he had to step in when he could to get things on the right track for them and his chance was coming right at that moment.

"Oh, Your Highness. I was not aware you'd be visiting," Alfred greeted the lady politely.

"I come almost every day Alfred." Diana responded amusedly.

"Ah yes of course, it is nice to see you so soon."

"Likewise, Bruce is where he always is I assume?" the Princess asked knowing the answer. Wayne spent every moment he could in the Bat Cave researching.

"Yes, he has been down there all morning. Which is why I must ask a favor of you." Alfred was putting his plan into action now, but of course Diana had no inkling that there was anything at work here.

"Of course! Anything you need." Diana was all too eager to help out as he knew she would be.

"Bruce missed lunch and I had spent all this morning working on it. It would be a shame if it went to waste. Will you take it to him for me?" Alfred inquired starting towards the kitchen already even though she had not agreed just yet.

"Sounds easy enough just put some on a plate and I will-"Diana was cut off by Alfred reappearing with a basket for her.

"I already had it packed up. Thank you Princess." Alfred handed her the picnic basket not showing his amusement at her surprise.

"I told you, just call me Diana." The dark haired woman smiled and started toward the hidden entrance to the cave.

"Yes of course, afternoon Your Highness." Alfred turned and started back towards the kitchen already feeling the satisfaction of a job well done.
