Harry worked to avoid his boss's kids, he couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal and didn't know what to think. Even though they tried to talk to him he always had an excuse to avoid talking to them, his boss tried to get him to talk to them as well but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Instead he had begun to get to know his aunt better having not seen her in years, though his avoidance has became a habit that even his aunt and co-workers noticed it.
Ivy had brought it up but he was really stubborn but so was she stubborn too she would bring it up a few times whenever they met up after work and before his patrol. Neither said know that one is an enforcer and the other a vigilante, they were at their usual afternoon tea when she brought it up one last time.
"You I've known the Wayne's for some time now and I know when they mean to be deceptive and not," said one of his aunt's friends Selina.
"You know the family?" Harry asked curiously.
"Me and Bruce go way back, we grew up together and circumstances happen and we got separated," she said as she sat on the couch in front of him. Her posture reminded him of a cat.
"Oh, so you can say you two go way back?" said Harry hesitantly wondering where she was going with the conversation.
"Indeed, enough that I can tend to guess what his thought process can be and in turn his kids to some extent."
"What do you mean?"
A/N: Do not take advice from the following I've never been in a relationship I'm just typing on the go."
"I can tell from the look in your eyes that you have been through heartbreak, no?"
"You can say that yes, but it was kinda mutual."
"First love?"
"Yes, I guess after all we've been through we were just too similar to be together. Though we did try to stay together for…"
"For?" said ivy coming in with some tea stuff.
"Our son…"
"You have a son?"
"Yeah, it was unexpected but we really loved him. It was decided for him to live with his father to keep him safer than here."
"True this is not a safe place for a child not born from around here."
"Anyways that's my story, but what was the point in it being brought up."
"All I'm saying is to just talk to them, maybe they had a good reason," said his aunt shrugging.
"…" harry contemplate his words and thought back to when he was in England and how he couldn't go on a date without that other person using him for his fame, and thought about how his boss may be in a similar situation. Thinking back he did reflect on how the kids first treated him to how they did now, but he had one more thing to ask. "Aunty, you said you tended to keep an eye on the Waynes right?"
"That is correct but not stalkerish like some."
"Do you know what happened to my predecessors the ones that once worked with him before?" contemplated Harry, perking up when he saw the trio exchange glances. "What?"
"Well… you have to understand Risso that before you came into his life he was quite a playboy," began Selina.
"What's that supposed to mean? "Asked Harry confused.
"He was just a typical rich kid with a traumatic past," saying this Ivy got a raised eyebrow from Selena but she shook her head slightly.
"Ain't most rich kids have a traumatic past?" Harry asked thinking of his ex.
"Usually, yes. All I'm saying is put yourself in their shoes ask yourself again is it worth keeping a bond with them?" Harley reasoned having come midway through the conversation.
Before Harry could contemplate more, he got a phone call with a specific tone of whom only calls if there was an emergency, he quickly excused himself and left the room not knowing that the other three were following him.
"Drake? What's wrong? Is Scorpius ok?" he asked as soon as he answered the phone.
"Whoa, calm down Harry, he's fine just missing you. I just have one quick question for you," said Draco Malfoy on the other side, Harry was confused and shock as the other never use the phone unless in emergencies or if Scorpius was grounded. Harry was glad he had a say in that aspect of Scorpius's upbringing after the first few times he came over for a weekend stay as he didn't want a mini Hogwarts Draco Malfoy that was spoilt.
"Shoot."
"What do you know about your family fortune?" Draco asked.
"Family- What family fortune? You mean the vault I've had since first year? I wouldn't call that a fortune but-." said Harry confused at the question.
"Vault since- no Harry your Family vault where your family heirloom are and all, the one you used in school is your trust vault. It's only to be used in school and then passed down to your first born."
"Drake I grew up in the muggle world I don't know half of what you are saying."
"You mean to tell me that you have no idea the power that's at your fingertips?"
"No… should i?"
"Ok we need to talk-." then the phone was grabbed out of his hands, Harry to see that it was his aunt.
"Ok I heard muggles and when that word is mention I know it has to do with British wizards, what does this have to do with my nephew and what is your relationship with him," she spoke through the phone, after a long minute of explanation. "I know just the guy that may help us but its gonna be tricky as we are not on the best of term but I will try to talk to him."
"…"
"Ok thank you Malfoy," and she hung up. "You don't know about your family fortune?"
"Should I be?" said Harry confused.
"Yes! If what your ex said was right someone has being doing you a great disservice," said Pamela as she turned to Selena and asked if she can call up a meeting with the old Bats.
"What is so important about this?"
"Harry look at me, if you had known about this most of the trouble you told me about in school wouldn't have happened. Most of all the Potters and Blacks are one of the oldest families in England which gives you more power not to mention all the other family lines that are rumoured to be connected to them. Hell we Evans are from the brother branch of the Le fays which is a matriarchal family."
"Oh…"
"Yes, once we sorted out I'm pretty sure a lot of people are going to jail for this maybe for life as this is a big deal withholding heir ship to an Grand Ancient and Grand Noble house. These kind of things can lead to a death sentence in the old days, I know this as they were quite creative in plants back in the day."
"So what should I do now?"
"For now work on fixing your relationship with those Wayne kids let me and the other three work on this, don't worry your head about this things. However starting next week we are going to work on this whole mess."
"Ok… thanks aunties."
"Of course we are family."
After that Harry left his aunt house and went home, but stopped by the convenience to pick up some stuff, after some contemplation at his aunts he decided to at least give his boss's kid's a chance to explain their side of their story before deciding to go forward. And in order to ask for forgiveness he decided to bake a few of their favourite treats, when he reached his flat he blinked in shock at who was at his doorway but kept his guard up as he didn't know the red head there. By her description he figured it was one of his boss's kids that he hasn't met yet.
She turned around and nervously waited for him to come closer, "hey, uhm I'm not sure if you know me-."
"Your Barbara Gordon yes?" asked Harry as he confirmed the identity of the other. "The other Wayne kids always talked about you and the other girls."
"Oh so you know about our relationships?" she asked worriedly.
"Yes, I had been told when I was kidnapped and I kind off the bender after, my aunts talked some sense into me."
"So are you gonna talk to the others again?"
"I was gonna talk to them after an apology gift."
"Wait aunt, the others said you had no relatives here?"
"I didn't know she was here until she rescued me from my kidnapping as I hadn't met her in years."
"Oh."
"Wanna come in?"
"Sure."
"Tea?"
"Sure."
Hours later the two of them was on their way to the Wayne mansion near the outskirts of Gotham loaded with treats for the family for the family. He went to put the stuff in the kitchen nodding to Alfred who knew he was coming, while Barbara went in to call everyone down before calling him in.
"Hey guys can you guys come down for a sec I need to show you guys something," she called out to everyone up in the rooms, it took a moment before he can hear a mini stampede going down the stairs.
"Hey Barbs, what's going on?" he heard Richard talking.
"I got a surprise for you," she replied he can hear the smile on her face.
"Gordon I'm not in the mood for one of your shenanigans," he heard Jason grumble.
"It's good promise."
"Then where is it?" he heard Damien say grumpily.
"Close your eyes first."
"What? Why?"
"Just please? Trust me on this one."
"Fine."
With that he silently walking into the room and observed the other boys in front of him. He felt a pang of guilt around him when he saw how tired they look.
"Ok open."
"Hey guys," Harry waved smiling nervously, before he was tackled to the ground.
"Mr. Harrison!"
"Hey guys."
After that they made up and spent the rest of the day together, getting to know each other properly for the rest of the day before watching a movie at the family theatre. His boss did join them at one point and with the insistence of the Wayne kids plus Barbara Alfred joined them too, when it got too late he stayed over in one of the guest rooms upon the insistence of everyone and also had one of the best sleep he has had in a long while.
