Two weeks have passed since Dick introduced Selina to his family and told them that she was also Catwoman.
Since that day Dick has had no contact with his father. He occasionally called his brothers and Alfred, although they never discussed the sore subject: his girlfriend.
Conversations with his brothers had become more awkward and Richard hated it.
And, although he would never admit it even under torture, he missed talking to Bruce.
At the same time, though, he was angry with him. He didn't like the way he talked about Catwoman at all; like she was a bag of garbage.
He knows it is a childish thought, but he wants Bruce to be the one to apologize first.
Knowing him, though, that will probably never happen.
Damn his pride.
Not that he doesn't have it, rather.
At least there is one positive note.
Selina has moved permanently into his big apartment in Bludhaven. And she got a new job at the cattery since it required a new addition to the staff (she loved cats too much to pass up this opportunity).
In this way Nightwing will not be the sole protector of Gotham's twin city.
From now on Catwoman and Nightwing will be partners in fighting crime in Bludhaven.
It was a normal morning at Wayne Manor.
Or at least it would be, if Bruce Wayne was not ignored by his children.
Ever since Dick came out of the cave, he had received a lecture from each of his sons. Alfred, although he hadn't said anything to him, gave him the "you made a mistake and now you have to fix it" look.
So yes.
There is tension in the Wayne family.
Be that as it may, it was an ordinary morning.
Bruce was normally eating breakfast while reading the newspaper. His children were with him and they were arguing with each other.
As usual.
He flipped through a page of the newspaper and opened his eyes wide, almost spitting out his breakfast. He ignored the butler's disapproving look and his children's curious glances (because it's not every day you see Batman almost spitting out food) and continued reading.
On the newspaper page was a picture.
A picture of Nightwing and Catwoman kissing on a rooftop. The camera got a good shot of them, so Bruce could see that they were exactly the masked vigilante and the (former? The billionaire still wasn't sure) world's most famous thief.
He read the title and the caption.
ARE NIGHTWING AND CATWOMAN ENGAGED?
As shown in the photo above, the two subjects can be seen kissing passionately. Some sources have revealed that Catwoman is working together with Nightwing. Some questions arise: are they engaged? Are they partners and vigilantes of the city of Bludhaven? How will the citizens take it? Can Catwoman really be trusted?
Reports are that for the past month or so the world's most famous thief has not stolen anything. Could it be that she has stopped stealing? Could it be that she has moved on and become a vigilante along with her supposed boyfriend Nightwing?
Bruce shook his head and turned the page, already wanting to forget the picture.
Nightwing and Catwoman kissing. I can't even think about that.
Unfortunately (for him), apparently he was hated by the entire universe that day, as the next article was about Selina Kyle moving permanently from Dick Grayson-Wayne to Bludhaven.
His eyes widened dramatically.
"Bruce, what happened?" asked Tim slightly concerned because he had never seen his adoptive father act this way.
Bruce abruptly rose from his chair and left the room, muttering random words.
His sons exchanged a glance before moving to the place previously occupied by the billionaire. They both read the articles. A few seconds of silence passed before they burst out laughing.
"That's fucking karma for the old man!" exclaimed Jason as he recovered from his laughter, wiping away an imaginary tear.
"Language, Master Jason." Alfred scolded him.
Bruce was combing his hair to go to work as an executive at Wayne Enterprises when his phone rang. When he saw who was calling him he groaned annoyed.
The boy scout had better have a valid reason for calling me.
"What do you want, Clark?" he asked abruptly.
"Good morning to you too Bruce. I'll get straight to the point: have you read the paper?"
It took all his self-control not to hang up on him. "Unfortunately, yes."
"You already knew?" there was a pause. "Of course you knew that." he muttered.
"I'll repeat the question: what do you want?" growled Bruce. He was in no mood for boy scout games.
"I just wanted to know if you were okay with this." there was another pause, this one longer than the last. "Bruce?" he called to him, uncertain.
Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose, irritated with the reporter, and spoke in Batman's voice. "Let me get this straight: you're telling me you called me when you know full well I have to get ready to go to work to ask if I'm okay with Dick dating the world's most famous thief?" he growled dangerously.
Pause.
"Well, when you put it that way..."
The billionaire hung up abruptly and shook his head. He could never understand why people liked Superman so much when he was just an overgrown boy scout.
"Idiot." he muttered as he continued to prepare.
Dick threw himself headlong onto the couch as soon as he returned to his apartment. He was too tired even to change his uniform. He and Will had a tiring day at work, to say the least.
"Tired, pretty kitty?" came a familiar and very pleasant voice.
He opened his eyes to meet his girlfriend's emerald ones. He gave her a small smile while still lying down. "You have no idea."
Selina smiled at him and lay completely on top of him, sweetly rubbing her nose on his neck. Dick smiled softly and inhaled the sweet and heady scent of his girlfriend. He gently rubbed circles on her back. Selina gave little kisses to the boy's neck, eliciting little moans from him.
"S-Selina." murmured Dick between moans when suddenly his breath caught and his heart sped up when his girlfriend gently bit his neck, licked it and left a huge hickey on it, much to the girl's satisfaction. Dick's back arched upward from the pleasure he was experiencing.
"Better?" murmured Selina as she continued to leave kisses on different spots on his neck. Richard merely nodded, not knowing if he would be able to speak while he was practically in heaven.
Seriously, Selina would be his death.
Not that he would mind.
Selina raised her face and kissed Dick, loving the way his lips matched perfectly on hers and how sensually their tongues entwined.
During the kiss, the boy's expert hands roamed over the girl's slender and (very) inviting body, from her butt down to her breasts, giving her moans of pleasure.
God, how she loved Dick Grayson.
Just as the situation was getting hotter and hotter, the first Robin's communicator rang, interrupting the two lovers' intimate moment.
Dick cursed the person who was calling him in (literally) five different languages. Selina first gave him a sullen look that turned to amusement when she heard him railing in several languages.
"Who is it?" growled Dick as he pressed the earpiece.
"Bad time?" buzzed a well familiar voice to him.
It was Superman.
Richard sighed. Although many claimed that Dick himself was the person who shared the most traits in common with both Batman and Bruce (and he has yet to figure out if that was a good thing or not), that did not include biting off the Kryptonian's head.
"To be honest, yes. So if you could kindly hurry up and tell me why you called me." he replied to the man he regarded as an uncle. As he waited for an answer, he had to bite his lip to keep from moaning as Selina placed several kisses on his jaw.
She was blatantly teasing him.
"I just wanted to warn you that a special meeting will be called at the Watchtower in half an hour."
Dick frowned in confusion. Justice League meetings were scheduled every Wednesday of every week. "What for?" he asked through clenched teeth to avoid groaning aloud. He threw a dirty look at his girlfriend, who gave him a too innocent look.
He bit his lip when she continued to kiss him on his neck and jaw. Unfortunately, he applied too much pressure on his lip which began to bleed. Just as Superman was responding, Selina sweetly licked the boy's lips licking away the blood.
Guess what happened.
He blushed heavily and Selina smiled as she saw him completely red in the face. Of course this caused him to moan that he could not hold back, interrupting what the Kryptonian was saying.
"Wha-are you all right Dick?" he asked slightly concerned.
Dick had to hold back his laughter at the man's naivety and threw a dirty look at his girlfriend, who was looking at him with a huge (and beautiful) smile on her face.
She was obviously enjoying his misfortune.
She was going to pay someday.
"Yes, don't worry. I was just distracted for a moment."
And what a distraction
Apparently Selina thought so too as she turned a mischievous glance on him.
"So could you please tell me the reason again?"
He heard him sigh heavily. "The meeting was called because of ... recent discoveries."
Dick stiffened, which did not go unnoticed by the girl. She stopped kissing him and looked at him, knowing that something was going on and, given her boyfriend's reaction, it was something bad.
"Superman, please don't tell me about that." he said through clenched teeth, barely holding back his anger.
"I'm sorry Dick but Jonh Stewart called a meeting. I tried to talk him out of it but he wouldn't listen."
Richard clenched his jaw, irritated. "Are you kidding me? John wants to discuss my personal affairs in front of the fucking Justice League?" he hissed dangerously low. Selina looked at him worriedly.
"Unfortunately, yes. I'm sorry Dick, I tried very hard to tell him that it would be a very bad idea but no luck.."
The acrobat sighed. "It's not your fault, uncle Clark. Don't blame yourself. I'll see you later."
"See you later Dick. And as far as I'm concerned, I'm sorry again." and soon after the line disconnected.
Dick closed his eyes in an attempt to calm himself.
"What happened?" asked Selina as she stood before him.
Only then did he remember that he was still lying on the sofa and got up. He took a deep breath and spoke. "Superman warned me that Green Lantern John Stewart has called a JLA meeting in half an hour." he stated with a frown.
"Why?"
In response he gave her only a meaningful look that she understood after a few seconds, cursing under her breath.
"This is bullshit." muttered Dick as he entered the Nightcave, Selina right behind him.
Five minutes later, Nightwing stood in the center of the room.
"Should I come with you?" asked Selina, taking a quick glance at one of the Catwoman costumes on display in the cases before turning back to look at her boyfriend.
The Bludhaven vigilante thought about it before shaking his head. "As much as I'd like to take you with me, it would be better not to."
She pouted, slightly widening her wonderful green eyes into the best puppy face she could muster. "Please, pretty kitten."
Nightwing faltered slightly.
Damn. Why does she have to have such beautiful eyes? Is this how Bruce feels when I turn my puppy eyes on him?
The first Robin sighed heavily. "I can't, Cats."
Selina tilted her head. "Cats?" she repeated slowly.
He smiled at her with his typical smile that made her knees go weak just looking at him. "A nickname. Don't you like it?" he asked too innocently.
She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I like it." she whispered seductively and kissed him.
The kiss lasted a long minute and they broke away. They were silent for a few seconds when Batman's first partner spoke. "Do you know that as much as I like your kisses, I will not change my mind?"
Selina lifted her chin (she hated being shorter than her boyfriend, even if only by a few inches) in defiance. "And who says I kissed you just to get you to let me come with you?" she asked as she crossed her arms.
He did not answer but looked at her smiling. A few seconds of silence passed where green eyes met masked eyes.
"All right, I give up." mumbled Selina.
Dick smiled triumphantly. He held her close and kissed her deeply. They slowly pulled away reluctantly as they both wanted to be in each other's arms for the rest of their lives but, alas, it could not happen.
Nightwing took off his mask, momentarily becoming Dick Grayson. "I love you baby." said Dick to her with a sweet smile, love written in his deep blue eyes.
Selina happily returned the smile. "I love you too." they looked at each other lovingly. "Can you do me a favor?" he nodded. The girl's smile turned into a smirk. "Don't kill anyone of the Justice League."
Dick threw his head back and laughed openly.
Selina smiled. She loved his laugh.
Dick put his mask back on and kissed Selina on the cheek before heading to the zeta tube.
Recognized: Nightwing B-01
Selina sat in the chair in front of the computer monitor, waiting for the love of her life to return.
After a few seconds she laughed.
He completely forgot that he has a hickey on his neck in plain sight!
