Dinner Date
~East End Bus Stop~
Like any bus stop in the morning of Gotham City it be full with working people and kids trying get to school. But in Selina's case the bus will be running slow and crowd at the same time since she lose her car thank to bills. Jason doesn't seen to mind since Richard or Dick to him will tell him that he and his mommy was save by Batman. Selina is glad that her son had a friend to talk. She already told Holly and she when into a vodka fuse rage on the phone than asked how hot Batman looked too.
"Where is the bus, mommy?" Jason asked.
Selina sighed, "I don't know, Jaybird but we got to wait for the bus."
"I missed the car."
"Don't worry when I've enough money we can get a better car," Selina promised.
"Oh, okay. I just can't wait to tell Dick about Batman saving us."
"Yeah," Selina still can't believe that the Dark Knight recuse and return the clothes. The man was a mystery wrap in a bat suit. She looked at the time and see they will be running late very soon. "Come on Jason let start walking halfway there, okay?" Jason nodded and both mother and son left the bus stop.
Even after walking halfway there, the Kyle was still going to run late again. This is not how Selina day picture her day. As cars vroom past them this car suddenly stopped and was going back away to them.
The black Jaguar XJ L lower it driver window and show it was Bruce Wayne. "Good morning."
"Oh, good morning," Selina greeted back.
"Hey old man," Jason walked to the car and asked, "Is Dick in there?"
The black window in the back when down and show Dick Grayson-Wayne. "Hey Jason, how you been?"
"Good, me and mommy was just walking to school since mommy had to give the car away."
"Really?" Bruce asked to see Jason nodded and Selina looking down in shame. What kind of man and father would he be to leave the friend of son and they mother. "How about I can get you both a lift?"
Selina shook her head no, "No, it okay Mr. Wayne. We are close to the school anyway but thanks."
If Bruce would smile, he would to how independent or maybe stubborn she was. Never have he meet a woman so independent, so stubborn, so caring, so everything before. Most women would have said yes in a heartbeat, but Ms. Selina Kyle was different in so most ways. He would've to reason if this single mother of a six year old boy.
"How about this, I take you and Jason to the school and than take you to work."
"Um, I can take that ride to the school, Mr. Wayne but don't know about the ride to work." She may remember her mother advise but with the Prince of Gotham trying to reason with this single mother sound crazy.
"I understand," he smiled and opened the door. "Let get these boys to school."
Selina and Jason entered the car and Bruce started driving away to the school. While Jason and Dick were talking up a storm the parents was glancing here and there, blushing a little at each other too.
Selina decided to broke the silence, "It was very grateful for what you doing for me and Jason. And I thank you for that."
"Just doing some good here, how was your weekend by the way?"
"Oh just being with my son and my mom."
"Mommy, don't forget to tell the old man we were save by Batman!" Jason intervened making Dick smile and looked at Bruce from the mirror.
"Really?" Jason nodded. "Wow, that must been a scary and great experienced for you and your mother, Jason."
"Yeah, but the dum-dum got what he deserved when he pointed a gun at my mommy and got his butt beaten by Batman."
"Whoa, she was that brave to stand up to a man with a gun?" Dick asked and see Jason nodding. He grabbed the side of Bruce's sit, "Hey dad, maybe you should date Ms. Kyle since she must brave and good than those girls with big boobs."
Bruce stopped the car and glared at his son for the type of women that he had date in the past. He only 26 years old still young but is a father now and trying to teach his son that all ladies with big boobs aren't all evil. But lucky for him, he stopped right in front of the school.
"Here we're," he and Selina gotten of the car and help they son out. "Be good, Dickie and I promise I will take to work you with me tomorrow."
"Really?!" The young Wayne asked and see his father nodded. "Thank dad! See you later!" He ran to the school and start his day.
"Bye mommy!" Jason hugged his mother than walked to Bruce with his tuff guy face and said, "Um, thank for the ride, old man and you better make sure mommy get to work safey."
Bruce smiled, "Don't worry I will." This kid is really something huh. He got this tuff guy attitude with a caring and protector side to him. The kid got a heart like his son in a different ways.
Jason waved goodbye and walked into the school. Selina waved goodbye as well and was about start her walk to work when Bruce opened the door.
"Mr. Wayne?"
"Your son wanted me to make sure you get to work," he smiled. "And I'm a man of my word so get in."
Selina smiled. This man reminded her of her stubbornness of a son Jason but without the pouting. Plus his dose give his word of taking her to work anyway so what the heck. Selina gotten in the car and Bruce smiled in victory and drive off to Selina's workplace.
The drive was quiet for this the parents until Selina broke the silent between them. "Thank you again for the ride."
"No need Ms. Kyle just doing what best for Jason."
"Yeah, he does need what best for him."
"You're only one parent if I'm correct?"
She nodded, "Yeah, you're correct and I'm trying to stay strong for him."
"Yeah, that's all you can do, Ms. Kyle."
"Yeah, and you can called me Selina now, Mr. Wayne."
Bruce smiled as to that finally got her name, "Than you can call me Bruce, Selina."
"Okay than...Bruce."
The drive continue with both Bruce and Selina talking about well the little thing. Their son even what they likes, dislikes, favorite color, even talked about they favorites thing to do on they past time. But they conversion were about to end when they made it to Jackie's Fashion & Art.
Selina sighed sadly to the fact that she were at work now. She enjoyed the small talks she have with Bruce and don't want to lose this moment. "Thank you for the ride again, Bruce. I really enjoyed talking to you."
Bruce smiled, "The pleasure is all mine, Selina."
"Goodbye," Selina exited out of the car and waved goodbye than enter the building. But unknow to her, she had forgotten something very important in his car. She made it to her desk and still have the smile on her face.
"Oh, what made you happy this morning, Selina?" Holly asked.
Selina smiled and ready to tell all to her best friend, "Bruce give me and Jason ride to the school and than took me to work."
"Who Bruce?"
"Wanye- as in Bruce Wayne, Holly!"
Holly's mouth fallen down to the floor. Did her best friend since childhood just said that she and her son was in a car with the Prince of Gotham and his son than alone with him. That's crazy! Don't get her wrong she love Selina like a sister and Jason like a nephew, but having two encounter with this man is like the old saying, 'First come love. Then comes marriage. Then comes babies.' This was the perfect time to ask the questions about Mr. Bruce Wayne.
"So did anything happened in the car with Mr. Wayne?"
"We were just talking about our son and little things."
"Nothing more?"
"Nothing less. What wrong Holly?"
"Oh nothing just looking out for my friend since her bag is miss."
Selina's eyes widen in shock and just notice that her bag was missing. "Oh no, I left it in Bruce's car!" She started tapping her head on her desk.
"What? Something important in that bag?"
"My wallet, phone and oh yeah the new design that I supposed give Mr. Jackson this morning."
"Wait you can call Bruce! Do you have his number?" Selina raised her head up, shaking no and continuing tapping her head on the desk. "Oh, that man gonna- Can you stop doing that! You know I hate it when you do that, Selina."
She stopped tapping her head and sighed, "Mr. Jackson is going to fire me for sure."
"Don't talk like Selina. Maybe he won't-"
"Kyle!" Sylvia intruppted them. "Kelly want to see you now."
Selina sighed sadly and ready to go into the lion den with Sylvia. While Holly looked piss and hated the blonde bitch had intruppted her when she is trying to cheer Selina up. If that asshole fire her best friend, he better fire her as well, have her paycheck for the this week and beat the living shit out of Sylvia too.
"Excuse me? Can you tell me where Selina Kyle went?" A male voice asked.
"Don't you know I'm in a mid rage moment right now, mister." Holly growled, how dare this man stop her mid rage moment and ask for her best friend. She turn around from her desk and can't believe the man that stand in front of her.
In Mr. Jackson's office, Selina looked nervous as she ever been in her life with Mr. Jackson looking cold and Sylvia smirking behind him. Yep she is so fire after this.
"Where is my design, Kyle?" He asked going straight into the kill zone.
"I left the design in my friend's car, sir. But I can still get the-"
"But didn't I told you that I want my design when you enter this building?"
Before she can answer, someone knocked on the door and that frustrated Mr. Jackson more. "Door now, Sylvia."
Sylvia went to the door opened and everyone couldn't believe who it was. It was billionaire, playboy, philanthropist and father Bruce Wayne with that smile on his face.
"Good morning Mr. Jackson it been to long time since our encounter."
Mr. Jackson gotten up as fast as a rocket and shook Bruce's hand. "Mr. Wayne, yes it had been to long. But may I ask why you're here?"
"Yes, but just for Selina." He smiled and walked directly at her. Bruce can see the single mother blushing and held her bag, "Selina, you forgetten your bag in the car. Lucky, I made that sharp U-turn and got here as fast as I can."
Selina went to get the bag and hugged him. "Oh thank you so much, Bruce."
He returned the hug by hugging her back and then let go, "Anything for a friend. Will I be picking you and Jason up after work?"
"Yes, thank you, Bruce." She turned her attention on her boss and give him his new logo design from her bag. "Here is your new design, sir and may I leave now?"
"You may," Mr. Jackson grunted and sat in his chair. How did this working class, single mother befriend the most powerful man in Gotham City?
Selina left the office with Bruce right by her side. He follow her to her desk and see Holly smiling with glee on her face.
"Well, it's seem that Bruce saved the day."
"Oh sorry, Bruce this is Holly Robinson my best friend. Holly this is Bruce Wayne, the man that give me and Jason ride and now a friend."
"Yes, we meet already and I was the one that told he where you went."
"Yeah, your friend almost unleashed her mid rage moment on me," Bruce joked.
"That's Holly for you," Selina chuckled.
"Damn straight! The one and original."
Bruce sighed than cleared his throat, "Selina, may I speak with you in private?"
Both ladies looked at each other, but Holly did what he asked and left the two to talk while eavesdropping.
"So what do you want to talk about?" Selina asked.
"Well, since our talk and getting to know each other I would like to take you out for dinner on Friday night?"
Selina blushed and couldn't speak to the fact that Bruce Wayne just asked her out for dinner on Friday! Before she can said something a ball of paper was coming her way and caught the paper thank to her 'cat-like reflexes'. That's what Holly called it that since she can catch any ball that come her way. She opened the ball of paper and it say, "Said yes! From H."
Selina glanced at her best friend that hide behind the desk and sighed, "Yes, I would like to have dinner with you, Bruce. But I won't have no one to watch Jason."
"He can come with us since Richard would like to come too. Plus it won't have to be those fancy restaurant we can eat at just at my home."
"Yeah, I guess your right."
"Alright then, so Friday 6 pm my please?" Selina smiled and wrote down her phone and apartment number. "See you at three," and like that he walked away.
Couldn't hold the excitement, Holly jumped up and throw another ball of paper that Selina can easily caught. "Selina, I'm so proud of you!"
"For what? I said yes I would go out with him."
"Yeah, but you're finally opening yourself up with a guy. A sexy rich guy!"
"Holly, I'm not dating him for his money. I'm dating him cause he's a nice guy."
"With a sexy body to show off."
"Holly!"
Selina's Apartment
It was finally Friday and Selina had to get Jason ready for the dinner date with the Wayne. And truth by told, she is nervous and shaking like leaf. She haven't been in a date since the day Jason came into her life and now she having a dinner date with the Prince of Gotham and his son.
"Why we're eating with the old man and Dick, mommy?" Jason asked as Selina was fixing his shirt.
"Because Bruce asked me on Monday and I agreed to it," Selina replied as she finish fixing him up and smiled. "He really wanted this and I do too."
"Mommy do you like the old man?"
"Well, I do like him as a friend Jaybird! You know he had been helping us right?"
Yes, Bruce Wayne had been helping them this whole week. He been getting them rides to home, school and work. Even if there would just rides, Jason was getting close to Bruce in just one week but would still call him old man so that making progress. Maybe?
"He's cool, mommy and Dick would be there so it wouldn't be so mushy."
"Hey, there nothing wrong with mushy, Jaybird. I am a woman by the way so it okay."
"No, the old man will tried something like what Aunt Holly's guys being doing. Flint with you than kiss you! Ew!"
"Sweetheart, it call flirt and no one kiss on the first date." Selina smiled at her son that pretending to vomit. "Let go get our coat and meet Bruce and Richard, okay?"
Jason nodded and went to get his coat along with Selina getting her coat as well and both went down to meet Bruce and Richard. Like usual, people was staring at him like id some alien. Can't people just believe that the Prince of Gotham can go out with people like her? The world there live in is when your appearance is all that matter now.
"Bruce!" Selina shouted than ran to him and gave him a hug. "You and Richard are here so early."
Bruce smiled, "Yeah, me and Dick planned the night for all of us. Date than a movie."
Before Jason can make those faces, Richard whispered to him, "Don't worry, Jason. The movie me and daddy pick is an action movie with little mushy stuff."
"Thanks."
Bruce smirked at the boys hearing they little conversation, "What was that boys?"
"Nothing!" Both said in unison that made Selina smiled a little.
"Alright boys, let get going before the end up cold." Selina said making the boys ran to the with they parent following.
Wayne Mansion
Wayne Mansion, oldest mansion in Gotham City with acres of land from miles ahead. Selina and Jason looked amaze that this mansion could be from a story mother would tell they children. They enter the mansion and was amaze again of how big it looked from the inside.
Dick laughed, "You guys seem surprise. The mansion is so big that their rooms after rooms."
"Wow!" Jason said. "You and old man just live here?"
"Yes, but with Alfred, the family butler too."
"You call young Master Richard," an elder man in a butler suit said coming out of the kitchen. "Ah, you both much be the Madam Selina and young Master Jason, Alfred Pennyworth at your services."
"It just Selina and Jason, Mr. Pennyworth. No need to be formal with us."
"It come with the job, Madma Selina and you may call me Aflred."
"Oh, okay than Alfred nice to meet you. Bruce told me you were making dinner for us?"
"Yes, a simple dinner that I am sure young masters would like. If Master Richard can lead Madam Selina and Master Jason to the dinning room." Dick smiled and nodded than lead the Kyles to the dinning room leaving a smiling butler and billionaire. "So she must have been the reason for the delayed, sir?"
"In a matter of speaking, yes she's the reason work would be delayed. Anyway what for dinner? Not too fancy for the kids right?"
"Just fancy for Madam Selina and simple for the young masters."
They enter the dinning room, they seen Dick and Jason eating already with Selina laughing at them as they were eating fast.
"I never seen Jaybird eat this fast before," Selina smiled.
Bruce and Dick stopped eating and at the nickname Selina give her son. "Wow that a silly nickname, Jaybird."
"It better than a nickname like Dickie!" Jason said sticking his tongue out.
"It's Dick not Dickie, Jaybird!" Dick stick his tongue as well and from there the boys were having an all out sticking at tongue war.
The parents sighed as they children agrue about nickname. "Boys!" Bruce and Selina stopped they son from play arguing. Bruce rubbed the side his head and asked, "Why do you boys like arguing so much?"
The boys shrugged they shoulder making the butler laugh and replied. "Maybe it's a sign of brotherly love, sir."
"I think I can agree with you Alfred," Selina smiled.
Bruce nodded, "Yes, you boys can be brothers."
Dick and Jason looked at each and notice from the first day that they meet something started to grow. Growing into something more, a brotherhood between them. Dick smiled than rubbed his new little brother's head, "Let's go and play some games that I can beat you in!" He ran out of the dinning room but than stopped and turn around. "Thank you for dinner, Alfred and enjoy Ms. Kyle."
"Ha, don't make me laugh, Dickie! Thank for dinner." He left the dinning room with Dick leaving Bruce and Selina alone finally.
"So I guess we're alone now, huh?" Selina blushed.
"Yes, I guess so," Bruce agreed than got up and hold out his hand. "Come, let me show you around Wayne Mansion."
Selina smiled, "Yes, I'd like that tour, Bruce." She took his hand and let him take her on a private tour around the Mansion. Selina enjoyed the tour and her tour guide, Bruce show her everything from the library room to the art room. Selina loved the art room out of them all seeing paints of the whole Wayne family line. But the painting that caught her the most was the painting of Bruce and a sleeping Richard.
"That's the day when I adopted Richard at the age of six," Bruce example with a smiled. "We did that portrait after he said me 'daddy' for the first time. It magical when a child that not even your on own blood call you daddy or mommy."
"Yeah, I know that feeling." Selina smiled and remember the first time Jason called her mommy, it was the best moment of her life. "Being Jason's mother was the best thing I have ever done in my life."
Before he can say anything, he saw the symbol for the Batman. Bruce sighed, he was enjoying this night but have to get to work right now. He grabbed her hands and stared into those green eyes, "Selina, I enjoyed this dinner date with you and Jason but it must come to an end. I'm sorry."
"Aww, I was really enjoyed this date too," Selina teased. She leaned front and kissed his check, "Thank for the date, Bruce."
"You welcome, Selina. Alfred, can you watch Dick while I take Selina and Jason home please?"
Out of no where, Alfred come out and nodded, "Of course, sir. But I must inform you that the young masters are very quiet right now."
Both parents sighed with a smile and know what that mean the kids are a sleep. Bruce lead Selina to Dick's room and that they sons were sleeping on the floor while the game Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga on the PS3. Bruce place Dick on his bed than pick Jason and left the room with Selina following. They made it to the car and drove off to Selina's apartment.

Bruce stopped in front of the building. "This is your stop, Selina. You want me to carry Jason for you?"
"No thank you, Bruce." Selina gotten out of the car and went to the back and get her still sleeping son than carry him. "He may eat like a bear but I can still carry him."
"Yeah, your son will be heavy and strong in the future."
"Hope so if I want him survive in this city. Goodnight Bruce." Selina smiled than waved.
Bruce waved as well, "Goodnight Selina." And like that he went his way and start his night job.
