"Hey, Bruce," Dick broached as we ate breakfast. "Can we just hang out at your office today?"

Bruce looked up from his morning paper. "You two have a Calculus lesson at nine, training at ten, and then a tae kwon do lesson from four to six."

"Can we skip today?" I asked, jutting out my bottom lip at the older man. "I'll make dinner tonight."

"That's a lovely idea, Master Bruce. Master Dick and Miss Verena already excel exponentially. I believe they will be fine even if they take a break for today."

I looked at Alfred, and he gave me a wink. I smiled softly before turning back to Bruce, who contemplated it quietly.

"Alright," Bruce then responded. "I'll inform Black Canary that you two will be absent today for training. However, report to the Cave later for a mission debrief at ten." He then stood up and left, his protein shake in hand.

I looked at the butler, who was picking up Bruce's empty dishes. "Thanks, Alfie."

"What are you talking about, Miss Verena? It has just simply been a while since I've tasted your cooking.'

I gave the butler another faint smile before leaving the room with Dick, heading to the garage. Bruce already had one of his fancy sports cars ready to go. Today, he chose to drive his midnight blue Mazda.

"It's Wednesday! I'm shot gun!" I called, running to the passenger side of the car. The doors unlocked as I got closer and I popped the door open, sliding in onto the smooth leather.

I pulled out my dark sunglasses, slipping them onto my face. I reached behind me, snapping on my seatbelt before I heard another click, signaling Dick was ready as well.

"It's almost your birthday soon," Bruce said, driving out of our estate. "Is there anything you want?"

He lowered the windows down so I could feel the summer breeze against my face.

"I already bought her gift," Dick said, leaning forward to join in on the conversation. "You'll love it," he directed towards me.

I furrowed my brows, trying to think of what I wanted for my birthday. "Can I have a pet?" I looked at Bruce.

He made eye contact with me for a brief second and he replied, "Depends… what animal were you thinking about?"

I shrugged in response. "No idea. Can I just switch what I want for my birthday to a lunch date with all four of us?"

Bruce gave me a soft smile and replied, "Done."
