Walking into the hotel introductions where quickly made. Jack had only heard of Helena Sandsmark by reputation. He was fascinated with her work and had always wanted to meet her. This was forgotten quickly when he came face to face with Wonder Woman. His reaction was quickly noticed by everyone, including his wife.

"Jack, this Diana, Princess of Themiscara. Princess, may I present Jack Drake, his wife Dana and their son Timothy."

It was a wonderful introduction. Polite and formal. Completely unlike anything anyone had ever thought Bruce Wayne was capable of. It's a shame Jack spoiled everything by almost drooling over her.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Madame Ambassador. I saw your speech on women's rights in the Middle East" Tim Drake quickly added jumping in to save his dad.

"I was most impressed with your condemnation over the West's concerns over the destruction of religious artefacts whilst almost completely ignoring the plight of women in Afghanistan."

Wonder Woman smiled. It was very rare that anyone, especially a man, complimented her over a political speech. It was usually her JLA work or her looks.

"Hi, I'm Cassie Sandsmark."

"I know, I saw all your speeches with Young Justice during the whole Sins Of Youth thing a while back. Will you be following Wonder Woman into diplomacy? You certainly displayed great leadership skills leading Young Justice."

"You really think so?" Cassie replied smiling. Tim nodded.

"Would you like to dance?" She asked.

Tim thought about it for a moment. There was no one else he could talk to there as they where the only teens there so it would be expected that they talk together. It would be awkward if they didn't and possibly raise suspicions. It would be even more suspicious if he turned down Wonder Girls offer to dance. There's no way he could explain that. Smiling, he held out his hand and lead her to the dance floor. He would deal with Batman's five hour lecture on keeping a low profile later. Then he would deal with his jealous girlfriends five hour screaming fit. He wasn't too worried about Kon's reaction. If his Bat Stare didn't deal with him, Cassie would.

Watching the two young teens walk off onto the dance floor Helena Sandsmark smiled.

"He's a perfect gentleman, isn't he?"

Dana Drake smiled back. "I know. The way he's so polite and sincere. The way his hand is on her back as they dance."

"Not too low down."

"Not holding her too close."

"And the eye contact. It is so rare for a man to maintain eye contact with a woman these days."

Helena's smile quickly faded. As did Diana's and Dana's as they looked at Bruce and Jack. Jack gulped as his collar started to feel so much tighter. Looking round to Bruce for support he saw that he was alone. Bruce had just vanished.

"Heh, I'll just go find Bruce. I'm sure he's gone to get some drinks... I'll go and join him... I'll be, er, right back."

A six inch tall Jack Drake turned and scuttled off as quickly as could with three lethal stares burning into his back.

"So Dana, about your wonderful son..."

"Step son I'm afraid, though I wish he was mine. He is so nice. When I started seeing his father it wasn't that long after his mother had died."

There was a sudden silence at this point.

"His parents where kidnapped for ransom by some vile thug. His mother was killed and Jack spent several months in a coma. I was his physical therapist whilst he learned to recover. When we first told Tim about us I was really worried about how he would react. Like I was trying to replace his mother. But he was so mature. He loved how I was helping his dad. I almost couldn't believe it. You hear so many horror stories about kids hating their parents new wives or husbands. Thank God Tim wasn't like that."

Helena and Diana both smiled.

"Your stepson appears to be growing into an excellent man. He seems to be showing incredible maturity. In all my years in Patriarch's world I have only encountered a handful of men capable of showing so much respect to women. Not to mention eye contact."

They all laughed at this point. Well, Dana and Helena laughed. Diana only joined in to be polite. She wasn't joking.

"Is Tim seeing anyone?" Helena casually asked.

Dana snorted. Both women saw the look on face.

"That bad is she?"

"Let's just say Jack and I would be a lot happier if Tim had a different girlfriend. Someone we could be confident won't break his heart or hurt him. Jack and Tim have had some blazing rows about her. Neither of us like Steph but he loves her. He really needs to find someone decent."

"Really?" Smiled Helena.

Helena and Dana looked at each other.

"So, do I take it Cassie is single?"

Helena snorted with contempt.

"That bad is he?"

"Kon-El is a fine young man with a promising future." Wonder Woman interrupted.

"Oh please. You're just defending him because he's Supermans cousin. We all know his reputation."

"Kon-El is a fine young man with a promising future." Wonder Woman stated again, slightly more forcefully than she would have liked. Helena and Dana turned to each other.

"So, is your step son going to be free any time soon?"

I'm sure I can arrange a night when he would be free" she smirked.

With that that they turned back to wath the adorable couple dancing the night away.

"Crap!" Thought Tim and Cassie as they saw their mothers watching them. This was going to get ugly.

Thank God for the criminals who decided to break through the windows and rob the museum.
