Chapter Eight: Family Dinner

Jason pulled the Rented Red SUV up to Wayne Manors gates and hit the intercom button. He smiled as he heard the familiar voice.

"Hello, what business do you have here at Wayne Manor." The wise old British voice Of Alfred Pennyworth comes from the intercom box.

"Hi, I would like two Hellbat burgers, one with extra onions, two chicken Shiva sandwiches, one KGBLT, and one Ivy burger (veggie burger), all Large combo's with jokerized fries, two chocolate friezes, Two strawberry friezes, and two vanilla friezes. Oh, and two Batgirl (apple) pies and two Batwoman (cherry) Pies and two Spoiler (blueberry)pies." Jason says with a smile.

"Funny, if you have no business here, I would kindly ask that you leave." Alfred stats dryly.

"Alfred is Jason Todd. I need to see Bruce." Jason says into the box.

"My word, your voice got as deep as Master Bruces, Master Jason. I will buzz you in and let Master Bruce know. I must warn you that almost the entire family is in attendance at the manor so that you will have a large welcome." The wrought iron gate opens, and Jason drives through the gate. As he doses, the skies open up, and it starts raining hard as they pull up to the front door.

"You know we are all going in with you, Jason right," Roy says with a smile before Jason can say anything.

"I know. Well, let's go." Jason says with a smile as they all get out and run to the front door, which a smiling Bruce and Selina quickly open.

"Hello, Jason, Helena…I see you brought guests. Good to see you again Helena, Sandra, Roy, Mrs. Harper, who is the boy. Come in." Bruce says, and Helena and Jason are shocked that Bruce sounds happy to see them. They all quickly make their way in to get out of the rain. Bruce is dressed in a black suit and tie, looking far better than Lex Luthar in it. He just got back from a board meeting at Wayne Enterprises. Selina is dressed in a purple skirt suit made from Japanese silk, having just gotten home from a Wayne Foundation meeting for the next charity gala. Selina is working for both the Wayne Foundation, running her own art gallery (no stolen artwork), and being the matriarch of the Batfamily as Catwoman.

"I am Damian Wayne, your blood son…I thought you would be taller, father. You must be my stepmother, the Jewel thief. I thought you would be shorter1." Damian introduced himself to his father and stepmother.

"WHAT!" Selina screeches in angry shock, causing Bruce to freeze as he was shutting the door.

"He is Anna's fraternal twin. So, ya, first let's introduce him to the rest of the family, then I will explain what is going on," Jason explains with a sheepish grin. Then, at the sound of Selina's screech, the rest of the family rush from various locations to the entryway.

First to arrive from the steps is a seventeen-year-old boy standing five foot six inches tall. He has short black hair and intelligent blue eyes, and his body is that of a well-toned swimmer. He has a pink lipstick smudge on his lips and is dressed in black slacks and a white button-up with a few buttons undone. Next to him is a girl the same age with long blond hair cascading to the middle of her back, blue eyes, and stands at five foot five inches tall. She has modest b cups, tight abs, long legs, a large jiggly booty, and she is a bit stocky. Her pink lipstick is also smudged. She is dressed in a plaid skirt and a white button-up with the top few buttons undone. The girl is Stephanie 'Steph' Brown, and the boy is her boyfriend Timothy 'Tim' Jackson Drake, the youngest adopted son of Bruce Wayne. When Tim spots Jason, and the sight of his older brother puts the boy on edge, and he puts himself in front of Steph.

From the left side of the entryway comes Dick and Barbara, with Little H following after them. Barbara is dressed in a Red T-shirt with Batman slapping a young Robin, a pair of blue jeans, and her black-rimmed glasses. Dick has on blue jeans, a white t-shirt with a blue star on it. Little H is in a purple Powergirl t-shirt and a purple skirt. Behind them is a handsome gray-haired balding older man standing six feet tall with a runner's physique. He is dressed in a standard butler uniform. This man is Alfred Pennyworth, the butler of the Wayne family.

Coming from the other side of the entryway is comes Anna dressed in a black gothic Lolita-style dress and pulled back her hair in a ponytail. With her is Cassandra dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a yin yang t-shirt. The two girls had already changed after getting out of school. Seeing the Chinese woman in the group, Cassandra rushed forward. Shiva catches the movement and freezes at the sight of her daughter. From the kitchen comes a woman with red hair in a bob and standing at five foot eleven and a quarter inch tall she is the tallest woman here. She had a sold pair of D cups, tight fit toned body, long legs, and a tight pear-shaped butt. She is dressed in skinny blue jeans and a burgundy long sleeve shirt; her green eyes narrow at the sight of Shiva.

"MOTHER!... Good to see you!" Cassandra yells cheerfully as she runs up to Sandra and hugs the woman she has not seen in two years. Sandra smiles as she hesitantly returns the hug. Anna hides behind Dick at the sight of the older brother she had a brief crush on, acting uncharacteristically shy as she peeks out from behind him. Little H, catching sight of Big H, rushed up to her.

"Big H, it's been forever since I saw you. Are you here to make me dinner because I have been a good girl? Who are these people? Up." Little H asks with a smile as she stops in front of Big H, holding her hands up to the woman. After looking at her parents, she gets a nod from both, and Helena picks the girl up.

"I came to bring your older brother Damian here. He is Anna's twin brother she did not know she had. The tall Dingbat is my boyfriend and your other older brother Jason the one who died. He did the rare thing and got better." Helena says as she points at Damian, then Jason.

"The red head man is a friend of both your eldest brothers Roy Harper, the woman next to him is his wife, Jade Harper. The woman hugging your big sister is her Bio mom Sandra Wu-San. Now let's go to the family room so the Dingbat can explain what's going on."

"Hello, big brother Dingbat: I am glad you got better. Nice to meet you, Big Little Brother Damian, Mr. and Mrs. Harper, and Miss Wu-San." Little H says sweetly with her mother's Cheshire smile and a wave. Jason groans at another girl named Helena, calling him a dingbat. He did not mind His Helena calling him Dingbat, but he drew the line at his baby sister calling him that.

"Please don't call me that." Jason groans with an exasperated look on his face.

"Aww, your such a little cutie pie. What's your name. You also have my permission to call Roy Dummy," Jade says with a smile as they all head to the family room.

"I am Helena Maria Wayne, but everyone calls me Little H. Ok Mrs. Harper, correction hello Dummy." Little H says, the Cheshire grin widening as she waved at Roy. All the women collectively grin at Helena's response.

"Please don't call me that." Roy groans. He did not mind Jade calling him a dummy, but he did not need or want Dick and Jason's baby sister calling him that.

'Thank god my little sister does not call me Fool.' Dick thinks, recalling his girlfriend's nickname for him.

…

"…and then we drove up to the manor," Jason explains, finishing his story he had started pacing as he told his tale.

"Talia is a bad mommy!" Little H states with her eyes closed and arms crossed well, nodding her head the crack of thunder adding drama to the statement. She is sitting on Helena's lap, and the Helena's are sitting on an oversized U-shaped Black velvet couch. Sitting next to Helena is Cassandra, and Sandra both nods their heads in agreement.

"Agreed," Stephanie says, looking horrified from her spot on her boyfriend's lap in one of the black leather recliners.

Dick, Barbara, Tim, and Alfred all look just as horrified at the tale from their spots on the couch. Kate, Selina, and Bruce look angry.

"I think I am going to be sick," Anna says from another recliner, looking pale. She could not believe her mother would treat her brother like that.

"Bruce, next time I see Talia, can I kill her?" Selina asks from her spot on her husband's lap.

"…No," Bruce says after thinking hard on it, his fist white-knuckled.

"Can I kill her?" Kate asks from her spot on another recliner.

"No." Bruce simply responds to Kate's question.

"Well, I am going to kill her next time I see her," Sandra says with a frown.

"Fine," Bruce says, not able to argue with the assassin.

"That's my…she is not a good mother, is she?" Damian starts to defend Talia before stopping at the reaction of the adults.

"No, she is not," Bruce says with a frown.

"Well then…Then I challenge you Athanasia al Ghul for the mantle of Robin!" Damian exclaims with a glare as he points at what is in his mind, his soft twin sister. He would take his rightful place by his fathers' side as Robin, he would not let his sister keep the title, and he wanted to work off his anger at the truth about his mother.

"My name is Not Athanasia al Ghul my name Athanasia 'Anna' Rebecca Wayne, you stupid boy. Daddy, may I kick his ass?" Anna says, glaring death at her twin. She did not like to be linked to the League of Assassins. Before he can make a judgment or admonish his daughter's language, Damian opens his mouth.

"Tss, like you could, you're both a girl and have been living in luxury your whole life. That luxury has made you softer than your gender already is. Well, I have apparently been harshly treated and trained my whole life. But, don't worry; I will be sure not to hurt you too badly, dear foolish sister." Damian says, opening his big mouth.

"Let them fight!" Every woman there states with honeyed venom in their voice, all glaring death at the boy. Damian stoically ignores the looks…or just does not realize they are directed at him.

"Get changed for sparing you two," Bruce says, knowing better than to no with how the woman was glaring at Damian. Damian just gave a superior smile. Bruce had a feeling something 'crazy' was about to happen. As the kids go to change and warm-up, Alfred pulls Helena aside, and Jason hangs back with her.

"It may be a bit of a bother for you, Miss Bertinelli, but could you perhaps make your Recipe for the curry you left the girls tonight?89 I have all the ingredients for it. However, the girls say that my version is good, but it does not taste the same as yours. I would like to observe you making it so that I may adjust my preparation of the dish." Alfred asks with a sheepish look.

"Sure, and Dingbat, you're going to be helping me," Helena says with a smile.

"I am fine with that, Hel," Jason says with a smile; he loved cooking with his girlfriend.

….

Twenty minutes later, Wayne Manor exercised room

…

The exercise room of Wayne Manor is massive, well lit, containing weight machines and free weights, along with a boxing ring. The Wayne family and their guests have gathered around the ring. Standing in the middle of the ring is Stephanie, who changed into an eggplant purple qipao style dress. She has tied her hair up in a bun with some chopsticks, has a pair of small round black sunglasses on, and is holding a microphone. Her look is mimicking the criminal known as Roulette. No one was sure just where the girl got the dress from; however, Tim liked her in it. Jason, Dick, and Bruce were sweat-dropping at the sight of the girl and were also wondering where she got the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of Meta-brawl, I am Spoiler, and I make the rules. Now for our main event for the evening, which will be fought to determine the title of Robin, in the blue corner dressed in a pair of Mongol style pants and a vest, I give you the challenger and ignorant boy Damian 'Stupid Boy' Wayne." Stephanie says dramatically from the middle of the ring, gesturing to Damian. Damian just looks indignant from his corner eyes locked on the girl's butt as he found this older girl to be attractive. The woman in the room immediately starts booing the boy, who just turns up his nose. He has a pair of black padded gloves on his fists. His hair is also wet as he was the one who had to get his bag from the SUV.

"And fighting from the black corner, looking fabulous in her black and pink yoga pants and black hello kitty tank top, I give you your raining champion, The Pint-Sized Puncher, The Kitty Bird, The Queen of Mean, the current Robin. I give you the girl, the myth, the Legend, ATHANASIA 'THE KILLER KITTY' WAYNE." Stephanie states, hamming it up a bit too thunderous cheers from the woman as Anna raised her gloved fists with a grin. The twins meet in the center of the ring. She left her hair in a ponytail as a challenge to her twin.

"KICK HIS BUTT HARD, BIG LITTLE SISTER." Little H viciously yells from her mother's shoulders.

"Now here are the rules, no killing, other than that there are no rules other than the winner will be determined by Pin, submission or knockout determined by a three count. There will be no time limit and no rounds. Now touch gloves, go to your corners and come out swinging when the bell rings." Stephanie says with a smile as Bruce dressed in a referee uniform climbs in, wondering how he got roped into this. Stephaine She then climbs out of the ring as the kids go to their corners.

"I will break you," Anna says with a fierce glare at her twin as they touch gloves.

"You will try." Damian snarks back with an arrogant smirk.

Dick and Barbara are sitting behind a table with some microphones Stephanie had procured, and Barbara rings the bell.

"Anna strikes first with a vicious kick to Stupid Boy's balls. He is gasping for breath as Anna gives him a hard knee to the nose. The challenger is bleeding from the nose. Unfortunately for him, we do not call a fight for blood here at Meta-brawl." Barbara says with a sassy grin beginning the commentary.

"Damian gets back up and hits his sister with a spear(tackle)!" Dick energetically says, not sure where the heck Steph got the microphone setup, but he was having fun.

"But our champion counters and gets the boy in an armbar. No the challenger manages to roll out before she can get it locked in." Babs continues commentary.

"Our challenger managed to score a hit to Anna's right eye down. She goes, no wait, the girl turns her fall into a flip and giving Damian a hard kick to the head, and down he goes. The champion Anna mounts the boy, and she begins delivering hard rights and lefts to the boy's head. The challenger can barely get his hands up to defend himself. She picks up the shorter boy and gives him a Supplex." Dick takes over the commentary.

"Could it be yes, our champion is climbing the ropes, and there it is her signature move the moon saw, and she carries it into the first pin attempt in the match, but Stupid Boy kicks out after a one count? the boy manages to deliver a kick to the chaps stomach." Babs takes over energetically.

"And the champion does not give Damian any breathing room as she delivers a hard standing dropkick to his chest, and Damian is down again." Dick comments.

"Anna flips up and gives Stupid Boy a hard heel drop to the head before getting him…could it be yes it is, it's The Falling Leaf Technique taught to her by the raining Batgirl Cassandra Wayne, and it's over. Damian falls, and Anna pins him for the three count. (Dick rings the bell) Well, Stupid Boy got in some good hits; it was a very one-sided match, ladies and gentlemen, for Stupid Boy was not ready for the champion's skill. The world is as it should be as girl power rules as it always has in the Batfamily." Babs says with sassy energy and a smile. The woman all clap excitedly as they rush the ring. Anna signals to Steph for a mike as Alfred gets the smelling salts.

"GOOD JOB, BIG LITTLE SISTER!" Helena cheers with a smile.

"Well, the champ has some words for us," Steph says into her microphone as she climbs back into the ring and then hands it to Anna.

"What happened?" Damian says as he comes too to the sight of his father and a nasty smell.

"You got your ass kicked by awwwie," Anna says into the microphone before Bruce gives her a light swat on the head with a glare that said, watch your language. Anna just rubbed her head with a pout before getting back to her speech.

"Correction, you got your butt kicked by a girl. However, well, you still need a bit more training. I humbly pass to you the mantle of Robin. I have been wanting to change out of the boy-dominated title of Robin for some time. So I declare I will be Catgirl from now on." Anna says with a smile well holding out her hand to her twin brother.

"I..mphh." Damian is about to object to just being handed the title when Bruce covers his mouth.

"Son, trust me, just except your sister passing the mantle to you, never insult a woman for her gender. Also, never insult a woman or girl's weight or gender. You will have few injuries if you follow this wisdom. Especially in this family." Bruce whispers to Damian after covering his mouth. Damian noticed all the men nodding in agreement to his father's words as if they heard them.

"Fine, I accept your victory and the mantle," Damian said with a frown as he shook his twin's hand.

"Remember the family has a strict killing is the absolute last resort after surrendering rule," Anna states as she shakes her brother's hand.

"Well, Jason, now that the brat has learned his place in the pecking order, let's get started on dinner. We should be finished prepping the ingredients by the time you're done looking over Damian Alfred." Helena says with a smile.

"Alfred, I'll look over Damian; you go learn how to make the girl's favorite food," Bruce says with a smile. He figured it is best to start bonding with his son…and take a DNA sample to run a paternity test just to make sure.

"YAY, BIG H IS MAKING CURRY!" Little H screams with a smile as she claps her hands. Every woman in the Batfamily loved Helena's curry.

…

After dinner

…

Alfred had taken detailed notes on how Helena, with Jason's help, prepared the chicken curry the woman of the Batfamily were so fond of. He is now confident he would be able to recreate it after having sampled it. Unfortunately, the men baring Jason had never actually had the woman's curry and learned just why they loved it. As a result, there were no leftovers that night.

"Well, it's been fun catching up after…well dying and then trying to kill Bruce, but we need to head out now that the munchkin has been delivered and dinner is over," Jason says with a slight frown.

"Look, the weather is bad enough that I am not even going to go out tonight unless the signal goes on, so how about you guys just stay the night? I promise none of us will put a tracking device on your rental. And if any of us have, we will go remove it." Bruce says with a smile and glare at Tim, who excused himself.

"…" Jason hesitates to respond.

"What my Dingbat means is, of course, we will stay. I do not want my girlfriend getting drenched on the way to our car." Helena answers for her boyfriend with a smirk.

"Well, she is the boss, so I guess we are staying. So, I could go for a Boilermaker." Jason says with a smile.

"I will stick with ginger ale. I am going to try to stay on the wagon after the rapid detox I got from the league." Roy says with a smile.

"I have never had a Boilermaker. But, I would like to try one," Helena says with a thoughtful look.

"Bruce is a good husband and makes me a margarita," Selina says with her Cheshire grin.

"Same for me," Anna says with a grin.

"A virgin for her, a real one for Selina and me." Barbara sasses with a glare at Anna, who frowns a bit.

"Make it three," Sandra says with a smile.

"Virgin one me dad." Cassandra orders.

"Same for this girl," Steph says.

"I will take a root beer," Tim says with a smile soaking wet from a trip outside.

"You know a Virgin margarita sounds good. I will have one of them instead of a ginger ale." Roy says, changing his mind.

"A finger of the Glen Morgan for me, Master Bruce," Alfred says with a grin.

"May I have one of these 'root beers, ' father?" Damian asks with a content smile. His older brother's girlfriend is an excellent cook.2

"Do you mind if I have a real margarita Dummy?" Jade asks with a smile.

"I do not mind, Jade," Roy says as he wraps his real arm around his wife.

"I will have an extra margarita salt." Kate orders with a smile. She would be spending the night too and had let her fiancé know.

"I will take a boilermaker too." Dick orders with a grin.

"Why do I always end up as the bartender? Yes, you may, Damian, the drinks will be coming right up…a boilermaker sounds good." Bruce asks as he goes to make the drinks.

"Steph, call your mother and let her know you are spending the night," Selina says with a smile as she goes and picks up Little H. The girl had fallen asleep in her chair.

"Yes, Catmom," Steph says with a grin as she goes to make the call. Selina and Bruce would put the girl down for bed once Bruce finished making their drinks then rejoin the family.

…

Later that night, Bruce's study

…

Bruce slammed a bat-shaped noise canceling unit onto Jason's door as Helena was not quite. Bruce knew he had forgotten something when he and Selina had cleaned Jason's room the day after Selina found her gray hairs. Bruce had also slapped one on the door of the room the Harper's were sharing. He just hoped the two couples were using protection. Bruce continued on his way to his study with another picture frame under his arm. A few minutes later, he hangs up a high-definition picture he printed out of Jason and Helena, both dressed in one of Alfred's aprons making the spicy chicken curry they made for dinner.

"When did you manage to take that picture." Selina, with a smirk, says as she steps into the room dressed in the purple leather catsuit and cowl she wore back in her rouge days.

"What are you doing here, Catwoman?" Bruce asks with a smirk using his natural voice.

"I came to rob the place, my dear caped crusader," Selina says with a smirk as she flicks on the noise canceller and shuts and locks the door to the study.

Interesting trivia about Catwoman is she is five foot five inches tall in the classic cartoon, Batman The Animated Series. Well, she is five foot seven in the comics.

Damian is not yet a vegetarian.
