Tim's Tech Savviness

Tim watched with mild disinterest as he attended one of the Wayne Foundation Charity Balls. He was the representative this time, as the Foundation's goal was to raise money for school science fair scholarship prizes in the Gotham slums. The idea was designed to give kids hope that they would not end up becoming some villain's henchmen.

Tim was chosen to speak at the event as he was the head of R&D and therefore, hopefully the one who could relate best to the inspiring scientists. Tim didn't personally agree, but there was no way he'd tell his brothers that. They had all but pushed him out the door and Tim knew that they were glad that they were not the one chosen to go to the event.

Tim frowned as he heard a few women giggle near him. They were obviously gossiping, so Tim decided to walk away. He really didn't want to hear about whatever poor S.O.B. they were talking about.

As he went to refill his glass of apple cider (nonalcoholic of course) he heard them say his brother's name, and paused to listen.

"And poor Richard was obviously flirting with me, but I would never lower myself to the level needed to actually be with him. The man thinks he takes after his adopted daddy, but I could never understand how anyone actually sleeps with him. Aren't they worried that they'll get some sort of disease? I mean a circus can't be sanitary."

"I know. Not to mention how he just doesn't belong in high society. Can you imagine the embarrassment of being caught out with him?"

"I heard he's a freak. Into some real creepy stuff in bed. Wonder if he learned that from his gypsy parents?"

Tim walked away, the plastic cup broken in his hand. There was no way he'd allow those girls to get away with that. They'd never know what hit them. Quickly snapping their photos, he ran their faces through the facial recognition software. Everyone was required to have a badge to attend, so the process was fairly quick.

Smirking to himself he looked down at their names. Elsa Cummings, Anita Kovacs, and Katerina Lavona. Tim smirk widened as he began to hack the manor security cameras. He couldn't wait to see their faces.

If anyone was paying attention to the young head of R&D they would've noticed that he was grinning like a maniac as he furiously typed something on his phone. They would have noticed when he started giggling to himself before pocketing his phone. And they would have noticed that he walked towards the projector with lethal intent.

Elsa flipped her long blonde hair over her shoulder. Her and her friends continued to gossip over Richard Grayson and his patheticness. Elsa would never admit it to the girls, but she had propositioned him once, and he had turned her down! The nerve. She was from a well bred family, and he thought that he could do better than her.

Elsa delicately took a sip of her wine. If a circus rat was stupid enough to think that he could do better than her, than she could live without him. Even if he was the best looking man she'd ever seen. Or that gossip said that he was amazing in bed. It certainly didn't matter to her.

Elsa may not have cared, but she made sure that nobody would be willing to date him for a long time. She spread nasty rumors and tried to tarnish his reputation. It annoyed her that Bruce Wayne had yet to kick the boy out despite the rumors going around saying that Richard Grayson abused his brothers.

Speaking of brothers, Elsa remembered that there was one of them attending this party. Maybe she could get him to collaborate her story. All it would take was offering the teenage boy something he'd never been offered before. It was surprisingly easy to manipulate boys.

Flipping her hair again, Elsa subtly rolled her eyes at Anita and Katerina's behavior. They were obviously trying to flirt with boys and they came off as desperate whores. Normally she would never sink herself to their level, but she needed people to lord over. People who would admire her beauty and wealth.

Looking around, she tried to spot the Wayne brat. If she remembered correctly, he was the genius, and the only adopted one that was born into high society. Nerd types were so easy to seduce.

She finally spotted him getting a microphone clipped onto the lapel of his suit jacket. By sime stroke of luck, they made eye contact, and Elsa gave him her best flirty yet seductive smile. To her surprise, he didn't rush over to her but instead rolled his eyes before climbing onto the stage.

Before he began to speak, he sent her a quick smirk, but there was something in his eyes that made her stomach curl. He knew something she didn't, and for some reason that fave Elsa a bad feeling. Her friends must of thought so too as they immediately stopped giggling and started shifting from foot to foot nervously.

For once in her twenty two years of life, Elsa actually paid attention to the speech being given. She couldn't shake the feeling that it was important that she did. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Let me extend a warm welcome from the Wayne Foundation, and from the Department of Research and Development. We are honored that you will be helping us develop the scientists of tomorrow. As many of you know, my name is Tim Drake. And I'm going to share with you a quick video that was put together by the Head of Public Relations."

Elsa watched in growing horror as the video played. Instead of seeing cute but disgustingly dirty kids saying thank you and how they dream of creating rocketships, she saw herself and her friends talking about Dick Grayson. Then the clip cut to her flirting with him and being denied. The film cut again and showed a picture of Anita doing the walk of shame. Again the film cut and this time it was a video of Katerina dancing provocatively with him at a club.

The video cut off leaving everyone in shock. Tim was profusely apologizing to the audience and demanding the tech guy check for hacks. Elsa felt numb, and it was obvious her friends felt the same way. All the images were shot from an angle that suggested that they were security cameras.

Finally the tech guy yelled out, "Tim we've been hacked, but the hacker just erased the other video and placed this file over it. Nothing was stolen, looks like a hacktivist. Nothing is damaged, we can play the original video if you'd like."

Tim pursed his lips. "Let's play it. We didn't come here tonight to learn that there were hypocrites among us or to embarrass anyone. Though I'm sure, whoever has been spreading those nasty rumors about my brother will stop now. Looks like everything was consensual to me."

Elsa flushed, and she knew her face was an ugly shade of purple. Tim Drake sent her one last smirk, and Elsa knew that he had known something like that would happen. She deflated, there was no way to prove it, and Tim had seemed just as flustered as the rest of them when that video had popped up.

Turning to her friends she frowned, and angrily demanded, "What do you have that I don't!"

Anita and Katerina looked shocked at her question. Katerina blinked before placing her hands on her narrow hips. "We were nice. Richard doesn't like mean or fake people, and you're both Elsa Cummings." She pursed her lips before she seemed to come to a decision. "Come on Anita, let's go. Elsa never treated us like a friend anyways."

Elsa watched as both girls marched off, and felt like screaming. She was Elsa Cummings! She got whatever she wanted, and she certainly didn't get turned down, laughed at, and dumped by her so called friends.

Mustering as much dignity as she could, Elsa marched out of the event, and into the cool night.

Tim smirked as he drank his coffee. Last night's debatical had made it into the morning paper. He had wanted to frame the sentence saying that Elsa Cummings was behind all the recent controversial on Richard Grayson, and that it appeared that she was angry that she was rejected.

Bruce sat down next to him and raised one eyebrow. Tim knew that the man was waiting for an explanation, but he didn't really have one. He had heard what they were saying about Dick, the only one of them that wasn't so jilted by life that he was able nice to literally everyone. It didn't matter if they had wronged him in the past or not. The only time Dick Grayson was ever mean was when he was protecting his family. Tim figured that it was time to return the favor.

Shrugging his shoulders, Tim took another sip of his coffee, maintaining eye contact with Bruce. "She deserved it."

A/N: Sorry to anyone who finds offense in those names. Literally the first ones I thought of. They all end in the letter 'a' does that say something about me?

Anyways, that's part 2 of 4. Hope you liked it. Gotta say, its hard writing about someone who doesn't love the bat bros. Probably because I'm an obsessed fan.

Let me know what YOU think about my high society villains by leaving a review. Happy reading!
