Mother's dark love

Melanie and Donna

Batman Beyond

xxxxxxxxxxxx

-New Gotham City, Hotel Robbins-

It was a quiet night as we find the temporary hideout of New Gotham's long standing generational crime family, which has a long line of criminals spanning several generations and all the way back to the twenty first century. Right now Jack was currently practicing fencing with Ace with Queen looking at some stolen jewels and Ten, or Melanie, was in her room just staring out the window.

As Queen or Donna to her family, looked at the jewels, she felt very annoyed. And it wasn't from the lack of jewels for her collection, but the fact that her family is…..unraveling.

From her daughter wanting a better life for herself to Jack just trying too hard to be a great thief, to the point of getting cocky, the tensions were eating away at the family ties. But the biggest one was….her husband King.

At first when they got together things were great. Taking over the business, starting a family, showing the kids what to do without getting caught, just perfect. Until the years went by and he started harboring a grudge against Batman only for them to end up right back where it all started.

In semi poverty and the organization, that her father and great grandfathers created over the course of several decades, being reduced to just a hotel that was in her family's name. And the kicker was that well...her spouse was starting to become a problem, like a big one.

Jack flung Ace's saber out of his hands and held it to his faceless head with a smirk. "That round goes to me, care to make it best two out of three?"

It got up while grabbing the saber and proceeded to strike the teen.

Jack parried it just as King himself came down the stairs with an irritated expression.

"You call that fencing? You could have taken him out far quicker than that."

"True, but where's the fun in that if it's over too quickly?"

King frowned while stabbing his sword into a table in his frustration.

Queen took noticed and walked over to him. "What is it dear?"

"I'm mad, that's what. Remember that plan we had involving the art museum?"

"Yes, an assortment of some of the rarest gems in the whole world, why?"

"Well I just got word that apparently to keep anyone from getting any ideas, Gotham PD went and locked them away in the vault!" he yelled slamming his fist on the table.

"So what? We just go in, bust it open, and nab the rocks, no big deal." spoke Jack.

"It took months to get the layout of that musium! Yet you all failed to stop a single flying bat!" He snapped while slashing the table in half.

"Hey, it's not our fault the plan's changed." frowned his son while Donna sighed. "Not like you're making any progress yourself your majesty."

He frowned. "Hold your tongue boy! I am still your father and king, and you will obey my laws!"

"Well then don't make such a big deal over a small heist. We'll just have to make a little ruckus if we wanna get in." He shrugged while not realizing that he just pissed off an already stressed and not in a good mood supervillain.

SLASH!

A glow of white energy sent flying at Jack and sent him flying into a pillar.

King growled while his sword glowed. "Do not test me boy, or I will see you hanged for treason!"

"Jack!" Donna ran over to her son just as Melanie rushed into the room with the boy groaning before she frowned at her husband. "King what are you doing?"

"If he's going to act like a spoiled brat, then I will put my foot down and make it clear not to show me disrespect."

"But striking him like that isn't how to do it." she glared while looking at her son. "Are you alright Jack?"

"Ugh, a little." He groaned. "Just a bit of a sting."

"What happened?" asked Melanie before seeing her father walk back up the stairs.

"Nothing to be concerned with, the heist for the museum is still going on so make sure you're ready Ten." He said with a low growl while sheathing his blade.

She looked very surprised while Donna looked vivid.

'Why that no good son of a harlot!'

"Mom?" Melanie looked concerned while Ace walked over and picked Jack up. "What happened?"

"Let's just say your fathers in one of his moods again, nothing out of the ordinary."

"Oh." She said while in her head surprised as her father wasn't always in a 'mood', well not all of the time, which was starting to become more and more frequent. "I see, but is Jack alright? No bleeding?"

"None that I can see." she replied before sitting down and gripped her hands together. "You'd better go get ready or else he'll find some other reason to be upset."

Melanie nodded before walking back to her room along with Jack, who just wanted to avoid any confrontations at the moment, including his mother's 'moods', which were WORSE than his father's.

Donna waited till her kids were out of the room before yelling and threw off several stuff from the nearby bookshelf and clenched her hands. "That bastard! That fucking bastard of a man!"

As she growled with hate, she felt a dark feeling in her heart, one that said 'kill that child beater'.

"He believes his plans are all perfect, that one small talk back will ruin everything, well maybe if he actually bothered to ignore that damn bat we would be just fine somewhere in a city that didn't reek of such common filth!" she snapped while pacing around. "And attacking his own son like that. Arrogance or not, that's over the line!"

That was when she started to think of her children a little bit more, what if this kept happening. A heist, them getting stopped by the Batman, and then using that as an excuse to use his OWN children as punching bags. And then just doing far worse, and Donna shivered at some of the ideas as each one became darker and darker until she thought of herself, draped in black, looking at two tombstones with her children's name on them.

"I can't let that happen. Money or no money, Jack and Melanie are still my children." she spoke trying to fight off tears. "But if King holds onto a grudge and insists on a plan like this, he's sure to ruin this whole family."

That was when she got an idea as she looked at Ace and then her own scepter. A very basic, yet sinister instinct.

Kill the threat to her offspring before that threat becomes apparent.

'This is something my father always told me if things got dicey. I just never thought it would happen.' She thought before snapping her fingers. "Ace, come here."

The robot moved towards her while standing still near the Queen.

She got up and pushed its chest as a control module popped out and she smirked. "Now, for a little reprogramming."

(Later)

The gang were in their costumes and on their flying cards while on their way to the museum. All the while Donna kept quiet the entire trip.

"Ten, Jack. You will distract the bat if he comes, no questions asked." King spoke with a frown.

"Yes sir." spoke Ten while wishing she was anywhere else but here with Jack just nodding with his arms crossed.

"Ace." King frowned. "Make an entrance. And my queen, keep the guards occupied."

'So you can get all the glory? What a foolish swine.' She thought. "Yes dear."

"Good, I'll get inside and snatch the gems before they know what hit them." He smirked while they got to their respective positions, except Queen who silently followed her husband in the shadows after jumping from her card.

(In the museum)

King made his way to the back where a large vault door was and held his sword out before sending out a white beam and started getting to work on cutting into it. 'Damn these vaults!'

Queen looked behind a pillar and smirked. 'Time to end the king, and let him, as Macbeth said 'sleep no more'.' she watched and was glad no alarms were tripped while trying to push away any doubt or guilt from what she was about to do. 'This is for the family's sake, remember that.'

King started breaking through the metal before Queen started walking towards him, a small dagger pulled from her back, and as the metal went slamming to the ground...

KISH!

Stabbed him in the heart with the dagger with all her strength.

"AHH!" he let out with wide eyes while dropping his sword and fell on his knees while Queen smiled.

"What's wrong dear? Back pain? At your age I'm not surprised." she mocked as he turned to her in shock.

"You…" he got out before she twisted the dagger to the right.

"You did this to yourself." She frowned while pulling the dagger out, grabbed the sword and smirked. "Now, time to cut you out of the family."

SWISH!

The head went flying as it rolled across the ground and stopped at a stature of the deceased villain, Two-Face, his face morphing into one of horror and disbelief.

Queen took a heavy breath and tried to steel herself before dropping the sword and walked away. 'It had to be done, it's only a shame I don't have time or I would have enjoyed ripping into everything about him that drove me up the wall. I just hope Ten and Jack buy my story.'

However, what she didn't know was that after committing this act of matricide, that a curse was formed from the deceased's final breath. But that curse wouldn't come to pass as from over head, a green cloaked figure with pale skin and glowing eyes, watched on and took the spirit to its final punishment.

"Vengeance has been served. So says the Specter." It said before vanishing with the soul in his hands along with the curse, for he was the spirit of vengeance, and this revenge was justified in its ancient eyes.

(Later)

-The Robbins Hotel-

"Ha ha! Now this is what I call payday." smiled Jack looking over a sapphire while the gems sat on the table. "This little thing must be worth more than this whole building."

Ten sighed while not holding anything. "Jack, don't act like that."

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Because then you'll end up like dad." she replied with Jack raising an eyebrow.

"I'd hope not, otherwise I'd lock myself up. Speaking of which, where is the old man?" he asked before looking at Ace. "Did you see where he went to Ace?"

It shook its head no.

"What? But how do you not know?" He asked before seeing their mother walking in, with 'tears' going down her cheeks.

"Mom? What's wrong?" asked Melanie as Donna sniffled and looked at her with sadness.

"It's...It's awful. Your father, he's...he's...oh god why!" she 'cried' harder while dropping to her knees to cover her eyes while Melanie moved over and Jack was curious.

"What about dad? What happened?" asked her daughter.

"He...He…" She 'sniffled'. "He...was killed...by...by….the safe door!"

Both siblings froze hearing that.

"The...door fell on him after….he cut it….it...it….oh god! The blood!"

Melanie covered her mouth while Jack was stunned in horror.

"I...I tried to help, but I couldn't!" Donna 'cried' more before Melanie pulled her into a hug while looking near tears herself.

"Mom." She said while holding her mom tightly, not seeing the hidden smirk under the knees.

"Sniff….I...I can't believe…." Donna 'sniffled'.

"Dad's dead? Wow... I figured he'd be too stubborn to go out like that." muttered Jack to himself.

Melanie sniffled while hugging her mom tightly while feeling completely shocked. 'I...I can't believe it….dad is...dead….'

Donna held Melanie and tried to look strong. "Children, we need to leave Gotham."

"What?!" Both said in shock.

"This city is not healthy for our family. Too many mutated villains and a persistent bat. We can't keep living here." she spoke getting up. "Pack your things, I'll see what I can do on transportation."

"Mother, isn't that a bit hasty?" asked Jack. "Leaving right away after father bit the big one? After all, Gotham might be all dark and dreary, but that doesn't mean it's short on valuables."

"Forget about those!" spoke Melanie with a frown. "How can you worry more about stuff like that?"

"I'm just saying."

"That's selfish of you!"

"Both of you!" spoke up Donna making them turn to her. "I understand what you mean, doing something like moving away when your father isn't here isn't easy, but chances are if we stay here too long it might be too late. Who knows what Gotham PD could discover when they find his body."

Both gulped a little as Donna pointed to their room.

"Pack up and get anything you need. We leave...tonight."

Both kids were reluctant, but listened and went to get their sutff together before Queen turned to Ace.

"Ace, get us a private one way trip out of this city by tonight. I don't care how much it costs, and make sure it can't be trailed to our private account."

It nodded.

"And no cities with superheroes. I don't want the man of steel or any other masked hero finding us in their 'kingdoms'." She added. "Just find a city or country that is FAR away from New Gotham."

It nodded again while walking away.

'Hopefully this will be a new start for my family.'

(Much later)

-London, England-

A plane landed at the local airport as we find the futuristic steampunk city of London, the only place where heroes and villains don't attack, especially after the Gentleman Ghost was finally exorcised into the afterlife by Hawkwoman and the other JLA members many decades ago. So naturally a perfect safe haven for a crime family.

Getting off it was Donna with her kids while Ace helped carry their stuff into the limo they had reserved ahead of time to take them to their new hideout.

Melanie looked around while in her civilian clothes while looking at her mom, who looked similar to herself with her long blond hair going to her small hips, a F cup chest, blue eyes, and wearing a black one piece dress with a silken gold crown stitched onto her hips as well as some high heels, as she used her scepter as a walking cane. 'I really don't see mom outside her Queen outfit that often...it's kinda nice.'

"You sure this town is right? It looks decrepit." remarked Jack in his civilian attire.

"Yes, trust me this is the most popular place for royalty and criminals." Donna smirked. "And there hasn't been a hero here since my great grandmother was around, the original Queen. But there is enough room here for you to get proper education and perhaps normal job fronts."

Melanie blinked. "Wait? You want us to-"

"Get jobs and an education yes, we can't have you just be criminals, after all, when I'm gone you need to have a stable lifestyle that won't be traced to the Royal Flush Gang." Donna interrupted. "That and I don't want your brother getting into trouble on his first day here."

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" huffed Jack.

"I don't want any attention on us. If we go off and start stealing it'll be easy to figure us out. For now, we stay low."

He grumbled at this before Donna whispered to Melanie.

"Don't worry about your 'boyfriend'." She teased. "He won't be here to swoop you off your feet like a princess."

She blushed while knowing who her mom was talking about. "M-Mom! He and I aren't-"

"I know. Can't a mother tease her daughter once in awhile?" she smiled as they got into the car before it drove off with Melanie looking away.

"We just never got that close."

"That changes." She said while patting her back. "After all, we will be laying low for a few months. So you and I are going to do some family bonding, if Jack wants to join in that is?"

"Pass. I want to get a feel of this place and see if I can find any lovely ladies to join me. After all, I didn't get far in that drawl of a city." he replied casually.

Both women deadpanned before saying. "Don't start a new flush gang with all females."

"Oh come on, it would be fun."

"Until you accidentally raise the stakes and get a new hand with each one of those women." Donna frowned. "I do not need grandchildren yet."

"Oh come on mother, you're always going on about how I'll eventually need my own queen."

"Yes, queen, not 'queens'."

"Oh you're no fun." He huffed while looking out the window.

Melanie shook her head at her brother antics. She turned to her mother with curiosity. "Are you sure? About getting jobs and going to school I mean."

"I am. After all, your father might have pulled you out of the school system at age ten, but you might become more then what I turned out to be." Donna sighed. "After all, I gave up my job when your grandfather passed and I just want you and your brother to become successful. Both in the public and criminal circles."

"Oh joy, homework." muttered Jack while Melanie looked happy before looking down.

"Won't really matter much when we have to move, will it?"

"What do you mean?" Donna asked.

"I mean we have to move again if we get caught."

"What? No, this is our new home. Meaning no more moving after we settle down."

"You mean like the time we had to move away from spain?" asked Jack with a raised eyebrow.

"That was because your father thought I was cheating on him with a matador. Which I would never." She frowned. "That and you do recall the hero Wonder Woman right?"

Both groaned as they recalled that most of Europe was protected by Wonder Woman, one of the only JLA member sto be still around due to her immortality and eternal youth.

"Do you think being near that woman would be a good idea? Especially when London is a safer place than Madrid?"

"Alright, fair enough, but you do have to admit her style is quite daring." he smiled only to get a glare from his mother. "What? It is."

"Jack, keep that up and you're grounded."

"Oh come now. I'm sure Ten here thinks the same about that boy of hers."

"Hey!" Melanie blushed. "I don't have a thing for him! And it's Melanie!"

"Children, settle down." frowned Donna.

Both kept quiet while Donna shook her head.

'This might take longer then expected.' She thought with a sigh.

(Later)

The car stopped at a rather large apartment on the far side of town. They got out with Melanie and Jack looking at it with Jack raising an eyebrow.

"Seems rather small."

"Yes, but it has room for all four of us." Donna said. "That and it was cheap. Now let's get inside children."

The two followed her while Ace lugged the stuff inside.

As they went inside it became apparent that the room was….dusty, covered in broken wood and looked….old fashioned.

"Mom." Melanie said. "What year was this made?"

"Oh about the year nineteen forty five. It used to be a fine house until skyscrapers became the norm. Why do you ask?"

"Because it looks ready to fall apart." remarked Jack.

"Nonsense, it's just fine."

CRASH!

And cue the floor above breaking as a tub landed on the ground.

"...maybe it just needs a bit of remodeling. But this is our new home."

"Maybe we should have it fumigated, just in case." spoke Melanie.

"Fine, but don't use your real names. Can't have Scotland Yard finding out. So as of now you have new cover names." She pointed to Melanie. "You name is Matilda." She then pointed to Jack. "And you're name is now Harold."

"Harold? Why that?"

"Because it sounds right." Donna said. "And I will be called Elisabeth. Your last names will also be changed to Halifax."

Both deadpanned at that. 'That sounds stupid.'

(A week later)

It was a hard week, but they finally got the house fixed and got some jobs and or schools, with Donna becoming an accountant for a bank firm.

Ace had been stuck behind to guard the place and do occasional dusting.

As for Jack and Melanie, he got a job as a fry cook at the nearby fast food restaurant while the lone sister started going to school at a nearby establishment and well, she's having trouble understanding the british slag.

Overall, everyone was getting comfortable with their new life, but Donna had other things on her mind.

Right now she was typing away at her job while mentally making a checklist.

'Mmm...just need to finish this transaction and...ugh.' She grumbled. 'So many papers,. Ok, calm down...mmmm. Ok, so a few hundred pounds with a small five pound fee…..ugh. I will never get the british currency system!'

As she tried to deal with that, she tried to ponder on what do about the 'family bonding' she had planned. But the only problem was that Jack was too busy with his shifts to even come home sometimes, especially on weekends. So she's trying to plan something special for her only daughter.

'Seems I'll have to give Melanie extra attention.' she thought with a smirk. 'But what to do? Bring her to a museum? A play? See the sights? Maybe visit the Tower of London?'

While she pondered, we cut over to said girl who wasn't having any better luck.

For she was busy trying to call Terry, with little success as she got his voice message.

'Ugh! Where are you?!' she thought in annoyance while feeling lonely. 'Is he busy with school or does he just not wanna talk to me? I don't really blame him.'

That was when she decided to get back to her studies, which was the history of Jack the Ripper. Something that gave her shivers every time she read it.

'Ok, just read it….without puking.' Melanie gulped before opening her text book.

(Later)

Donna sighed while finally done with her work, for now. She was on her way home while glad her legs were free to move without her gown on.

But as she got home, she noticed that Melanie was downstairs, reading a book while shaking like a leaf.

'Must be that textbook….mmmm.' She thought with a playful smirk. 'One little joke won't hurt.'

As for the teen, she was reading about how Jack would kill and remove the reproductive organs, scaring her shitless as the door slowly opened up behind her.

'T-These old killers are….so much creeper than anything in Gotham!' She thought before a pair of hands grabbed her by the cheeks and a low whisper was heard.

"Want a taste of my knife my dear?"

"AHHHH!" she screamed shoving the hands back and jumping to her feet only to see her mother chuckling.

"He he he, got you." Donna chuckled while noticing that Melanie was shivering more and looking mad.

"M-M-MOM! Not cool!"

"Oh come now Melanie, it was just a small joke."

"It wasn't funny!" She blushed while hoping that she didn't pee her panties.

Donna chuckled before sighing. "Don't be too mad, I just thought you needed a little scare. But I have good news."

"Is it you getting a better sense of humor that doesn't make me jump?"

"No. Tomorrow we are having an all girls night on the town." She smiled. "And it's going to be a great way of bonding Melanie."

"I guess that sounds like fun. Where at?"

"Either the Natural History Museum or just enjoying a cafe and restaurant spree. But if you want to do something else, just tell me."

"Well...maybe just a walk on the town. There's still so much I haven't really seen since we got here."

Donna nodded. "Alright, but we are going to wear something I got us for just an occasion."

She raised an eyebrow at this. "Oh yeah? What is it?"

"It's a surprise." She winked.

'That's not reassuring.'

(Next day)

Both women walked through the streets of London while wearing the same dress, which was a black and white one piece dress that was really small near the skirt area and was super tight fitting, as Melanie was blushing crimson red and Donna was smiling happily.

"Mom? I think these might be a bit...revealing."

"Nonsense, they are fine dear."

"But people are staring." she whispered since several guys turned when the two walked past them. "I feel like it's riding up on my butt."

"Come now Melanie, sometimes you have to take chances and try something daring." Donna smiled. "Plus the silk thong and nippleless bra I gave you wasn't cheap, so just relax and let's hit the town." 'Hopefully she doesn't know I replaced all her underwear with said garments last night.'

She blushed while feeling really exposed.

"Anyway, I think you look cute."

"Mom, wearing stuff like that feels a bit...risque." she whispered.

Donna whispered back. "Relax, you have enough curves to make it work, plus your Ten outfit was also form fitting yet you didn't seem to complain at all."

"Because I had my face covered and my butt wasn't riding up on a thong." She blushed as they made it to a small cafe.

"Hush now, we are going to have some cake. So don't make a scene." She whispered while they entered the cafe.

'You're the one causing it!' thought Melanie with a blush as a waitress came over. 'I feel like one wind and every guy is gonna be drooling over seeing my ass.'

"How may I help you miss?" She asked while the two women sat down at a table.

"Just some chocolate cake for me and my daughter. Oh and some hot coco for her, she's not good with coffee." She smiled. "Especially when she strips naked and bounces like a ball-"

"Mom! That was one time!" cried Melanie with a blush with the wiatress jotting it down and Donna chuckling.

"It will be a minute." She said before leaving the women alone.

"So Melanie? How do you like your new home?" Donna asked. "Got any new friends?"

"It's fine, and no I don't have any friends." She sighed while looking out the window. "And...I kinda miss someone back in New Gotham."

"That boy?" sighed Donna shaking her head. "Melanie-"

"I know I know, men come and go, but it's easier said than done." Melanie interrupted. "I mean, I don't know what he's doing, he hasn't answered my calls all week and….well I just miss talking to him. He was nice to me, despite my upbringing."

Donna sighed. "I understand, but he has a life of his own, you can't just force him to accommodate to your schedule, you have to just let things be. If he calls you back, that's fine, but don't try and be as headstrong about a guy like I did." 'Worse day of my life.'

"I know mom."

"Besides, he might have a girlfriend already."

She blushed. "I..I know mom, but I just want to be friends with him still."

'I'll bet.' thought Donna in annoyance. 'Well after we're done bonding, you won't be saying that for long.'

"Mom."

"Yes?"

"If we get enough money...could we get Terry to come to London? S-So we can have a outing, nothing more."

"...we'll see." replied the woman while trying to hide her annoyance. 'Just calm down and don't get a hit on that….boy.'

(Much later)

The two finished their treat at the cafe and were back walking on the street while getting a few wolf whistles here and there.

Melanie blushed at that while Donna just waved them off.

"Mmm, where should we head next?"

"Someplace less crowded." muttered Melanie.

"Oh I know, a nice quiet lingerie shop. After all, you did grow a little as of late." She smiled with a teasing tone.

"Mom!" Melanie cried out. "Are you trying to embarrass me to death?"

"Maybe." She chuckled. "Are you close to rigamortis?"

"Mom!"

"I'm kidding."

"It's not funny." Melanie frowned as they made it to a small jewelry store.

"Oh lighten up deary. We can get you some jewelry to help yourself shine."

"No stealing."

"Oh relax, this is our night, not the flush's time. And if you want anything, just ask."

"Just wanna make it clear, I don't think I could even make it far without…." she blushed as they entered while trying to adjust the thong with her rear.

"Oh relax, if we had to do that, all the men would see is the thong, you're very quick on getting away after all."

"M-Mom!"

Donna chuckled as she looked at some green rings of pure emerald. 'Mmm, this looks like an antique.'

'It's official, I'm ready to crawl under a rock. I'm just glad she seems happy, I figured she'd be hurt most of all.' Melanie thought while adjusting the thong again while looking st some pearl earrings. 'Wait….atlantean earrings? Oh my god, those are so rare...no! Don't even think about it Melanie!'

"See anything Matilda?" asked Donna while using the false name.

"Nothing mom…" she said quickly while 'Elisabeth' walked over and saw the earrings.

"Ah, you picked a good piece. In my grandmother's time, they were worthless but now, they are really rare. Especially for avid collectors like ourselves."

"Yeah, but they're way too pricey right now."

"I see." She said before flagging the cashier. "How much?"

"About two hundred pounds."

"We'll take it." She said while pulling out some cash out of her cleavage. "Keep the change."

"Yes ma'am." he smiled taking the money while Melanie looked at her surprised.

"How did…"

"My boss at work was being generous, especially when he thought I was going to use the money on a date with him." she shook her head. "All he does is drool whenever I walk by. It's sad really."

"But how…"

"Learned it from my mother." Donna smiled. "And I know you're surprised, but I want to make you happy Melanie."

"Still, aren't we on a budget right now?"

"Yes, but fear not, when we get to 'work' tomorrow, we'll be good." she winked.

She sighed. "Mom."

"Yes? You want more jewelry?"

"That's not it."

"Oh? Then what's wrong?"

"Ugh, nevermind." 'Knowing her, she'll just steal from her job. Again.'

Donna raised an eyebrow at this. "Come now, you can tell me."

"..."

"I will get you ice cream."

"..."

"With extra sprinkles."

"...ugh! Fine, I know you're going to steal from your job."

"Matilda." she frowned. "Things have changed, I'm not going to risk this family's safety over something like that."

"...what?"

"I am not your father, I won't risk the safety of my own flesh and blood to get a few gems." she crossed her arms. "So don't assume I'd do something like that when everything is going smoothly."

"Um….ok mom." Melanie sweatdropped while just surprised as the cashier placed the pearl earring in a box and gave it to 'Elisabeth'.

"Here you go."

"Thank you, have a nice day."

"You too ma'am."

The two women walked out while their thongs started to fall off as they readjusted them.

"Mom, maybe we should go home before these things fall off."

"Nope." Donna smiled. "We have one more place to go to."

"What?"

(A few minutes later)

She pointed to a nice lively club. "Just a nice club to liven our lives. Nothing much."

"Mom, are you nuts?" she whispered with a blush. "If we lose these off in there, we-"

"Shhh." Donna put a finger on Melanie's lips. "Right now trust me Melanie. If something happens I'll be there for you."

She grumbled.

"Plus this is a lesbian bar."

And cue Melanie turning bright red. "What?!"

"Oh, did I forget to mention that? My bad." Donna smiled as they went into the club, where a lot of women were either making out or pole dancing in sexy bunny girl outfits. "Now, let's get some drinks."

"Mom? Maybe we should just go home." blushed Melanie.

"Oh liven up, you need to have a little fun in your life. You're a teenager, and you should try to experience everything sexual, even if it's not your taste."

"How can I liven up if I'm not gay?!"

"Simple, just dance and drink." Donna smiled.

Melanie groaned at this. 'She's not gonna let it go, I might as well pretend like I'm having fun and maybe we'll leave sooner.'

That was when a bunny girl with large G cup breasts noticed Melanie and gave her a wolf whistle.

'I hope sooner comes!'

(A bit later)

Melanie sighed while at the counter and sipped from some water she ordered while passing on some advances from a few dozen girls when they saw her. All the while her mother was drinking some wine and making sure to tell anyone that came close about her childhood, the embarrassing times that is.

"And then when my little girl tried to feed the dog, she got jumped on and screamed when it licked her face. She thought it was cooties, but it was just slobber."

"That's adorable!" laughed one woman while they glanced at Melanie who tried to ignore the looks.

"Another time was when she tried wearing my bra as a hat. Oh she looked so sad when I caught her running around the school, and she thought it made her as strong as Supergirl too."

"Well she's definitely got the look for her. You're so lucky." remarked one woman drinking some alcohol and looked at the girl. "She looking for someone?"

"Well not from a girl, but from a boy." She said with a forced smile. "Some guy named Terry, friends she calls it but she never stops calling him or talking about him. I'm just surprised she didn't try hunting him down like a crazy animal. Although it would be funny."

"Mom!"

"Wait, so she's straight? Then why's she here? Doesn't she know this place doesn't have guys?" asked one woman confused.

"Yes, but I wanted her to have some fun." Donna chuckled. "We just moved her a week ago and she's been stressed."

"From where?"

"New Gotham. Got away from it due to a lot of reason."

"Yikes, I have a cousin who lives there, says it's crawling with all kinds of wackjobs."

"Yes, but the new Batman is on the case." Donna said with an eye twitch. "And he's already causing crime to drop."

"Huh, I wish that Batwoman came back." One woman sighed. "Or Batgirl, they were great for Gotham along with the others."

"Yeah." Another one sighed. "And the silver and red suit looked good on her."

"And she had one fine ass."

"So did Batgirl."

Melanie grumbled while drinking her water as Donna placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you feeling ok?"

"What do you think?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I think you need some wine." She gave her daughter her wine glass. "Here."

"I'm not so sure I should mom."

"Come on, one glass." she insisted.

Melanie grumbled. 'Maybe one glass.'

(Five glasses of wine later)

"Wow, I had...no idea wine was THAT good!" laughed Melanie.

Donna sweatdropped while seeing her drunk daughter laughing like crazy. 'Yep, she's just like me when I was her age. Except I was tipsy after the tenth glass.'

"Ooh wow, the music sounds sooo much better." She giggled while getting up and started dancing, drunkenly as her thong fell off and landed on her left foot.

Which got a lot of girl's attention with Donna blushing and slapping herself in the head.

"Matilda!"

"Ha ha, ooooooh!" She laughed while starting to dance around a pole. "Watch my dance~"

'Goodness, I got her drunk!' Donna thought before seeing her daughter moving her butt up and down. 'And in a lesbian bar too!'

"Ha ha! Look at my butt~" Melanie laughed while her crotch was exposed with each twerk.

"Damn! Wouldn't mind to take her home with me."

"Same."

"Move that ass!"

"Show us more!"

"More more more more more!" The entire bar cheered as Donna looked ready to blush.

'I need to get Melanie back home before she winds up following some stranger back home.' She thought before grabbing Melanie by the arm and dragged her away.

"Nooo! I want to dance!" She pouted with a childish tone.

"I'd say you've done enough dancing for the both of us."

"No fair!" She pouted while Donna dragged her away. "No fair!"

"Life isn't fair young lady, now let's get you home to sleep off that alcohol." Donna said sternly while walking out of the bar.

(Later on)

"Ugh...why does my head hurt?" Melanie groaned while on the couch.

"You drank some wine." Donna said while sitting next to her. "You have been sleeping for a day now."

"A day?! Ow!" she winced holding her forehead.

"Don't move, you still have a hangover."

"Ugh…." she groaned in pain. "I knew that was a bad idea…"

"I get it now, but at least you're ok." Donna said while rubbing her daughter's head. 'No more wine for her.'

"Ugh…." Melanie groaned while unable to move. 'So painful…..'

"Sorry dear, I'll go get some coffee brewed, that should help."

"Ok...mom."

Donna got up while recalling how her daughter acted and felt a little cross. 'Ok, note to self, no more clubs.'

(Timeskip)

"So dear sister, I heard about your little 'ladies night out'." remarked Jack while making breakfast with Melanie groaning.

"Don't remind me." She grumbled while covering her face in embarrassment.

"So did you bust out any moves?"

"Ugh!"

"Jack, be nice to your sister." spoke Donna while getting some tea. "It's my fault she got a little tipsy."

"I see, so how many glasses?"

Melanie groaned while Ace was busy mopping the floor. "Jack."

"Just five."

"Mom!"

"And she was dancing. But that's all I'm going to say on the matter Jack. Or do I have to remind you of your 'frat party'?"

He froze hearing that as it wasn't his best moment, at all.

Ring ring.

Melanie blinked while getting a call on her phone. "Hello….Terry? What's up? Yes….yes….what? Your coming to see me? Um, can we talk later? I'm in the middle of something, bye."

Click.

"Who was that?" asked Donna.

"Terry, you know. my friend." She said with a sigh. "He's coming to London next week. Something about a class field trip or something. Mom, I think it would be nice for him to….you know, meet us. Or just me, I haven't decided yet."

"Oh...I see." she spoke in a calm tone. "Well I'm sure you'll figure something out, now if you'll excuse me I need to get ready for work."

Melanie watched her mother getting up and got her bag while Jack smirked.

"Visiting huh? Sounds more like a date to me."

"Jack." she frowned.

"Oh simmer down, I'd just like to make mention to not be out too late or else mother will get awfully worried."

She blushed as Donna walked out of the house, looking VERY cross at the moment.

'That boy is going to ruin everything!' she thought while clenching her hands. 'Giving him a chance to spend time with Melanie is sure to throw my entire plan out of disorder!'

That was when she started seeing her daughter getting married to the boy, which made things even worse. Like fifty times worse as she now wanted to either kill him or do something that would keep him from destroying her family.

'If I outright try to murder him Melanie might know it's me and then I'll be no better than my husband! I'll have to speed up my plans then. Tonight it is.' She thought before walking away.

(Later on)

Melanie smiled while currently out shopping for some new clothes. All the while hoping no one sees her dress as it was the ONLY thing left in her closet when her clothes 'vanished' overnight. 'Damn it mom! Why did you have prank me like that?!'

At her job said woman smiled while typing away at the accounts. 'The days almost over, then I can spring my plan.'

"Elisabeth! I got another stack of accounts for you!" yelled her boss from the backroom.

'Shit.' she thought getting up and walked there. 'Figures something else could go wrong.'

(Later that night)

Melanie sighed while on her bed. 'I hope Terry comes soon.'

But with the mother, she was busy with Ace in the basement of the house. She was typing away at the module with a frown.

"That boy will not destroy my family. But how should I prevent said destruction? I can't kill him, or maim him." she muttered. "I need to keep him away from Melanie so he doesn't sink his claws into her."

That was when an idea clicked in her head.

"Wait….what if I brainwash him into being a new member of the Royal Flush Gang? That way he won't report this to the Gotham PD or try anything against my daughter. Mmm, and loyal only to me. That could work, if I had the right parts and components that is." she smirked.

And as if clockwork, a plan was made, one created for the sole purpose of protecting her family. That being….

The creation of a new card.

(Timeskip)

"So, how do I look?" asked Melanie wearing a white short sleeved tank top with blue jeans.

"Marvelous sweetie." smiled Donna.

"Thanks, but when will Terry be here?" She sighed while looking at the clock. "He should've been here by now."

"Oh relax, he will come." she waved off while sipping her tea. "Probably wanting to be fashionably late."

Melanie sighed again while the door knocked. "Oh it must be him!" she got up and hurried to the front door while Donna gave a small scowl.

'So he's here. I guess I have to wait until he comes back.' She thought in anger. 'I'll see what he's like for my own eyes and see what kind of boy he is.'

Knock knock knock.

"Coming!" Melanie called out while rushing to the door. She opened it and smiled. "Hey Terry, glad you could make it."

"Well I had to check out London a little." He said while smiling.

"Oh please come in." She smiled. "It might be old fashioned but it's nice." 'Once you get rid of the mildew smell.'

Terry walked in and looked around. "Well it's definitely something, the good kind of something I mean."

"Thanks." She smiled as Donna looked at Terry and frowned.

'He's like a street punk, and I hate those hooligans!'

"Terry, this is my mom."

"Oh hey." He said while extending his hand out.

"...Melanie. Your friend isn't part of a gang is he?"

"Mom." frowned her daughter. "Terry's not like that."

"It's cool Melanie. The truth is I DID actually get into some trouble a while back, but after getting a job it helped straighten me out."

"But-"

"So what is this job?" asked Melanie.

"I do a few odd jobs for Mr. Wayne."

"I see." She turned to her daughter. "Melanie, your curfew is still ongoing."

"Mom." she frowned.

"Also no wine." She frowned. "Or do you want to have him see your butt?"

"MOM!" Melanie blushed red. "Not in front of Terry!"

"Sorry sorry, just want to make sure you two don't have too much fun." She waved off. "And Terry, you're guest room is waiting just in case you decide to try anything 'sexual'."

"Uh,thank you ma'am, but I don't think we'll get that far." he blushed with Melanie groaning and ushering him out the door with her.

"Have fun you two." Donna called out while the door closed, only to snap her fingers as Ace walked in. "Is everything ready?"

It nodded making her smirk darkly.

"Good, now we wait." She smirked evilly. "He he he he."

(Later)

Donna sighed while drinking so tea as her daughter and son came back home and were currently sleeping, all the while Terry was still in his guest room even after saying he was just getting ready for bed, two hours ago. 'I guess he's asleep. Better check on him before taking him to the basement.'

She set her cup down and made her way to the room. As she opened the door, she noticed that….he was gone. 'What the?' she walked over to the bed and looked around. 'Where did he go?'

That was when she noticed the window was opened and looked outside.

'What's going on?' She thought. 'Where is Terry?'

But that was when something was heard, the sound of engines.

Donna raise an eyebrow before quickly hiding in the closet as Batman flew in with a thud on the wooden floor. Her eyes widened and narrowed while seeing him let out a sigh and reach for his mask. 'No, it couldn't be.'

"Ugh." Terry groaned. "Note to self, avoid flying into giant ferris wheels."

'My daughter's friend is Batman?!' she thought in shock as Terry went and started removing the suit in the bathroom. 'This whole time, Melanie's crush has been Batman?'

That was when she started to see red, but calmed down as she decided to stick with the plan. But she needed him to be asleep, which made things harder if he has a suit that could electrocute her with the slightest touch. 'He has to sleep without it, he doesn't come across as the overly paranoid kind.'

(Two hours later)

"Zzzz." Terry snored whole not in his suit, but in his underwear, as Donna smirked and slowly got out of the closet and moved towards him.

'So I not only get to keep my little girl safe by turning this punk into my slave, but he's Batman too? Oh if only King were here, I'd never let him live it down.' She thought before raising her hand and carefully gave him a blow to the head that knocked him out.

(In the basement)

SPLASH!

"Gah!" Terry jolted feeling cold water hit him and shook his head while looking around quickly. "W-What? Who?"

"Hello." Donna said while holding a bucket in her hands while looking at the new tied up hero. "Terry, or should I say Batman."

His eyes widened as she threw it away. "What are you talking about? Where am I?"

"The basement." She said while snapping her fingers as the power was turned on, to reveal a large screen in front of Terry as several electrical nodes were attached to his head. "And you must be wondering why I'm doing this? Am I right?"

"Well yeah, and why you think I'm Batman."

"I saw you come into the room." She said while snapping her fingers as Ace came in and gave her the scepter. "As for me, call me Queen."

Terry gained a serious look as she took it. "Actually, I knew that was the case. Melanie being Ten made the rest easy to figure out."

"Why are you actually here? Besides seeing my daughter that is." She asked him while frowning. "Was it to bring us back to the states?"

"Actually no." he replied. "After I heard about the news with King and heard you guys left right away, something told me there wasn't something adding up. I would have followed, but I had other priorities. Besides, I didn't hear anything about your gang causing trouble over here, figured you decided to go with an honest life, seems I was wrong."

"That you are half right." She frowned. "We are here to avoid that city, and to make sure my children are safe. After all, with you and the other superpowered criminals in that city, crime and a simple life is unobtainable. But since you're here, I guess I have to keep you from destroying the Walker family, but I won't be like my former spouse."

"You'll give yourselves in?"

"No, I'll actually succeed in defeating the Batman." She said while moving towards the screen and placed the scepter into a small hole as it went into place and acted like a large lever. "And getting a new member for the gang. But before I do that, do you want to know who killed King and why I was hostile towards you earlier today?"

"Because you don't like your daughter dating?"

"That too, but the reason I don't like you is because you are a hooligan." She frowned. "And I hate such people. Oh right, the who killed the king part, I will tell you."

Terry then saw Queen flipping the switch down as an electric shock hit him as the screen turned on to reveal a black and white swirl on it.

"It was me. Queen checkmated King." She smirked while turning to Ace. "Increase the power by ten decibels."

The cyborg nodded and turned up the power making Terry cry out.

"Ahhh!"

"Now look at the screen." She smirked as Terry was forced to watch the swirl as it began showing images of the Queen and picture of certain crimes and other miscellaneous items. "Watch it and rejoice. For you will become the next card in our family, one that only serves me and me alone."

"F-Forget it lady!" he groaned trying to turn away, but the chair held him in a way he couldn't turn his head.

She tisked. "You won't be singing that tune by morning. Ace, keep the machine running. And start the audio."

It nodded before a recording of Donna was heard.

"You are Nine. You are a thief. You are the butler. You are loyal to Queen. You are loyal to the Walker name." The recording chanting as it looked around and around with each turn of the swirl.

'Mind controlling me won't work. I'm too stubborn!'

Donna walked away while smirking evilly. 'I'll give him the next half hour, that'll give me time to see Melanie.'

And like that, Terry was left alone with the screen and it's chanting.

(Later)

It was a calm morning as Melanie got out of bed and noticed that her mother was right next to her, sleeping next to her left side. She was a little weirded out, but kept quiet as she went to head downstairs for breakfast.

'Weird, why was she doing that?' She thought while not knowing that the basement door was still shut tight as Jack was busy eating toast. 'Did she find a rat in her bed or something?'

"Morning sister."

"Morning." She yawned while sitting down. "Where's Terry?"

"No idea." He shrugged. "Must have left."

"That's not funny."

"Who was joking? I have no idea where your 'friend' is, I haven't seen him yet."

She frowned while hoping he comes down for coffee.

(Some minutes later)

Melanie grumbled as Donna finally went down stairs and sat at the head of the table.

"Yawn, morning children. Sleep well?"

"A little." Jack yawned. "Although I thought I heard screaming in the middle of the night."

"It was the pipes." She said quickly. "They're quite old and seem to be causing a ruckus at night."

"That never happened before." Melanie said.

"Well it must've happened last night." She shrugged. "Anyway, Terry is currently trying to fix said pipes. Said he wanted to help out the family."

"Well if he's going to help repair this old house maybe he could do some painting too." joked Jack.

"He asked that very question. And I said yes, and you are helping Jack."

"Wait what?!"

Donna smirked. "It might be fun for you two to bond."

"But that's not fair!"

"So is life, deal with it."

He groaned while Melanie chuckled at this.

"Also Melanie, next weekend we are going on another girl's night. Same clothes as last time, but no bars." Donna smiled.

"I'll pass mom, one night like that wearing those was plenty."

"Oh but I had it all planned out. Especially the part where we head to a nice restaurant." Donna sighed before making a sad face. "Oh well, I guess my only daughter hates her mother's interests and love."

"It's not that, it's just...I'll be busy, studying for a test coming up."

"What kind of test?"

"A biology test."

"Is it about reproduction?"

"NO!"

"Then what?"

"It's just a test on Henry VII."

"...huh. Little known fact, you're related to him from my side of the family." She smiled. "Although you do look similar to me, not Henry. You wouldn't look good in a beard anyway."

"I wouldn't put it past her to grow one." remarked Jack before raising an eyebrow. "But last I checked, what does he have to do with biology?"

"He breeds like a dog." Melanie pointed out while stuttering a little. "I mean genes are...um…"

Donna sighed. "Just be honest, you don't want to bond with your own mother."

Melanie let out a deep sigh. "Mom, it's not that, it's just if we go out, I'd rather we wear something that doesn't make guys wanna smack our butts, that's all."

"You should've told me instead of lying." She shook her head. "If you want to wear normal clothes it's fine."

Melanie blinked.

"But you have to wear the thong. That's my only condition."

"No, no way mom." she spoke with Jack going wide eyed.

"What?! A thong?! Goodness mother I don't want that in my head!"

Donna chuckled. "Alright, but the bra stays."

Melanie blushed. "No, I'm not wearing holeless bras!"

"Come now, no one will see it."

"That's not the point!" She blushed as a loud scream was heard from the basement. "Wait, what was that?"

"Just a pipe." Donna waved off. "And perhaps Ace getting electrocuted again." 'Or Terry just screaming for mercy. He he he.'

"Since when does that overgrown bucket of circuitry make noise?" questioned Jack.

"Since I added screams to his mainframe. Wanted to make him more lifelike. Although if you don't like it I could replace the scream with moans from your 'video'. The one with the naked girls."

Jack blushed while trying to figure WHY she would watch his porno videos, which were stored under the bed and all….oh. 'She SAW!'

"Anyway, time for school Melanie."

Said girl got up and headed out quickly with Donna finding her speed cute.

'I wonder if she could run into my arms like that?' She thought while eyeing Jack. "And you have work to do. So time to go Jack."

"Anything to get me out of here." He said while getting up.

"And we will talk about your stash later."

'Oh bloody fantastic.' He thought as he closed the door, leaving the woman alone.

She looked around before getting up and walked to the basement as she unlocked it and headed to the area Terry was being 'held'. When she got to the bottom she saw said boy panting while his pupils seemed smaller.

Ace turned to Queen while the woman smirked.

"Are you ready Nine?" She asked the teen.

"I'm….not….Nine!" he got out making her sigh.

"Ace." She said to the robot. "Increase the power to max and make sure he's ready by tonight."

It nodded before increasing the power as the machine began to zap Terry with more electricity while the swirl kept on spinning and chanting to Terry.

"Have fun." She said while Terry screamed. 'Now, to get to work.'

"AHHHHH!"

(Later)

Donna yawned while getting home earlier than expected as her children were still out of the house. "So much….paperwork…" she dragged herself up to her bedroom to try and find some clothes for her and Melanie's night out. "Mmm…."

She looked inside her closet and saw her very alluring and sexy outfits, all designed to tempt her daughter with, and sighed.

'She wouldn't like if I wore them….but I have to be persistent.' She thought. 'But as long as my ace up my sleeve works, these will work later on.'

As she got the clothes for the night out, she looked at her underwear and contemplated going commando or just using her best nightwear instead of her regular undergarments.

"Hmm...I'll wear the flimsy kind, just in case." Donna said to herself before placing the clothes on the bed and heard the scream. "Looks like he's almost ready. Better get him his new clothes."

(In the basement)

Donna walked down the stairs with folded clothes in her hands and saw Terry panting and looking like hell.

"Ah...ah….." he groaned while his face looked pale and his eyes were glazed white as Ace watched on. "Ah…"

"Oh Nine." She called. "I got you some clothes. But all you have to do is say 'Yes my Queen' to get these garments."

"Ah...ah...Y...Yes...my….Queen…" He said in a glazed tone.

Donna smirked before snapping her fingers. "Ace, release him."

The cyborg turned the swirls off before moving over and started taking the electrodes off.

Terry stayed still while Queen showed him her new clothes, which were a completely black suit with a nine over the dark yellow eyes and had a zigzag line over the mouth.

"Change in front of your Queen, and then I command you to keep an eye on my daughter. If you fail or attempt to do your way on her Nine, I shall end you." She frowned. "Do you understand?"

"Yes my Queen." He said while undressing as Donna smirked.

'With him out of the way, my daughter belongs to me and me alone.' Donna thought. 'That and I have a new member to use. Oh King, you must be rolling in your grave right now.'

Terry stood there in the new outfit that fit on snugly.

"None will stand in my way." She said. "So says the Queen, and now Nine, do your duty and keep my daughter safe."

He looked on before saying. "Yes my Queen. As you command."

(Later)

"Ok Melanie, make sure to stay away from any wine this time." spoke said girl to herself while waiting downstairs on her mom for their bonding time.

That was when Donna walked downstairs, in a very skimpy dress that was completely tight around her ass and chest while also having the skirt being very short, and tapped her daughter on the shoulder.

"Ready to go?"

"Mom? I thought we-"

"I agreed on letting you wear something else, I never said I couldn't wear something to show off."

"..." she groaned.

"So ready to go or are you embarrassed of my attire?"

"As long as it's something less extreme than last time."

"Alright." She smiled while not letting her daughter know she wasn't wearing a bra or panties. "Let's go!"

Melanie groaned. "But where at?"

"A nice restaurant." She smiled while dragging her daughter out of the house. "I heard it sells nice salads. And the wine is to die for."

'Oh god no!'

"But we're not having any of it. No more alcohol for you young lady."

Melanie sighed in relief.

"But you will be having the giant steaks. You need a little more cushioning in those hips." Donna teased as Melanie turned red with anger.

"MOM!"

"I'm just saying, it doesn't hurt to add more meat to your diet."

"Not helping!"

Donna chuckled while feeling very happy. She started to lead Melanie away from the house. "Don't worry, I actually have a surprise for you after our meal."

"And that would be?"

"It's a surprise dear. I can't tell you beforehand."

'I don't like the sound of that.'

(Much later)

"Wow, this place is...wow." Melanie said in surprise while they were in a very expensive looking restaurant.

"You like it?" Donna smiled.

"I'm stunned, how'd you get reservations?"

"Simple, the owner was a former Royal Flush member." She whispered. "The original Jack, before he decided to retire. I just asked him for reservations and I was able to get the VIP lounge for the night."

"No way, really?"

"Yes, now let's get inside." She said while flagging a waiter and allowed him to escort them to a large room full of gold statues and several paintings of old english kings on the walls.

"Another waiter will be here shortly to take your order." He said before walking away.

Melanie looked at the menu and went wide eyed. "Woah, uh mom?"

"I know, it's very pricey, but don't worry, I came across some extra money before making the reservations."

"Um, ok?" She said as Donna looked at her own menu. 'Wow...she went all out this time.'

'Hopefully she never learns I used Nine to steal from the Bank of England.'

'She went out and robbed something, I just know it.'

"So anything interesting?"

"Mmm….maybe some steak?"

"Alright, I'll get the same thing. With a glass of water. Anything for you dear?"

"Water as well."

"Any desert?"

"I'm not sure on that, some of these look more expensive than the meals."

"Oh come now, just have a little desert."

"I don't know…."

"Ok, an entire ice cream sundae for us then." Donna smiled.

"Wait, that's kinda big you know mom."

"So? We are sharing it."

"I'm pretty sure the steaks will fill us up." Melanie sweatdropped while not seeing a waiter walking in and started taking their orders like a ninja.

"Anything else?" He asked in a quiet voice.

"Huh?" she turned and jumped with surprise. "W-When did you get here?"

"Two minutes ago." He said before jotting down the order. "Ok, two large steaks, water, and a giant ice cream sundae. It will be here shortly." He then jumped up and went into a hole in the floor as it closed behind him.

"..."

"He was a former assassin." Donna whispered. "Don't question it Melanie."

She grumbled a little. "Might have been nice to learn that sooner."

"Relax, just enjoy the music." She smiled while watching Melanie looking at the paintings. 'And hopefully you're nice and fed for my little surprise.'

(Later)

The food came to the table while Melanie looked at the table sized steak in shock.

"Why…?"

"It's stegosaurus from Dinosaur Island. Very hard to get these days after the JLA quarantined it as a natural park." Donna said while eating a bit of her steak. "Go ahead and give it a try."

She looked at before eating a little bit of it. "Huh, tastes good."

"I'm glad you tried, unlike the time I tired making you eat broccoli."

"I was five mom."

"And you should've just eaten them instead of throwing the plate at my face."

"Again, I was a kid."

"You're always a kid in my eyes."

She blushed while going back to her food.

(Later)

"Ok, I'm stuffed." Melanie sighed while finishing her steak, only for the sundae to be placed on the table.

"You sure? We still have desert." Donna smiled. "And I'm not even full."

"I am, I feel like I just doubled in weight." she groaned.

"That's just your stomach talking." She sweatdropped. "When you're my age and had the training to keep one's appetite in check, the issue of feeling full will be a distant memory." 'That and surviving a desert for a year. Thanks a lot father, REALLY needed that!'

'Well I'm not into getting sick!' she thought as her mother began to eat the treat.

'Tastes good.' She thought while looking at Melanie. 'And hopefully this surprise will make her happy.'

(One desert later)

Melanie managed to get herself to enjoy some of the ice cream, but couldn't nearly as much as her mom.

"Your check." The water said from behind Melanie while holding the check in his left hand.

"AHHHH!" she jumped with Donna wiping her mouth with her napkin.

"Oh thank you, it's on the Royal Flush Gang's account." She said as the waiter vanished in a puff of smoke, but not before appearing next to Melanie and placed a mint in her mouth.

"W….How...seriously?!"

"What? He's just playing with you." Donna chuckled. "And giving you an after dinner mint as well."

Melanie groaned at that. "Anything else I should expect?"

"Just the surprise I mentioned to you earlier tonight." She smiled. "Nothing more, nothing less."

"And that would be?"

Donna chuckled. "Just wait until we get out of the restaurant, ok?"

"Why?"

"Because I want to tell you outside and away from the customers."

She sweatdropped. 'Ok...she's up to something. I just know it.'

'Oh this is going to be good.'

(Later that night)

Melanie sighed while her mother dragged her to the more hotel friendly section of London while trying to figure out WHAT the surprise was. "Mom, just tell me."

"Hold on, just have to get to the spot."

"What spot?" She asked in confusion.

"The spot where the surprise is."

'Ok, this is getting ridiculous!' she thought facepalming. "Mom!"

"Melanie, I know it's annoying, but it'll be worth it if you just hold out a little longer."

"Ugh! You're really making my blood boil!"

"Young lady!" frowned Donna. "You will learn patience with me."

She grumbled while she was dragged to a large hotel and into a elevator to the top floor. 'She's not the one getting dragged around like a lost puppy.'

DING!

The elevator doors opened to reveal a large bedroom with a pool in the middle of the room and a waterbed floating over said pool.

"Why are we here mom?"

"To relax of course."

"But why here? And what is the surprise?"

"This." Donna reached into her bag and pulled out a black box. "Here, open it."

Melanie blinked while taking the box and opened it. Her eyes widened finding a blue sapphire necklace on a silver chain. "...mom…"

"Like it? It wasn't cheap to get." Donna smiled. "Consider it an early birthday gift from me to you."

"It's so beautiful." she replied taking it from the box and held it to her face while unaware of a subtle flash of light coming from the gem. "It's amazingly well crafted, how much?"

"A year's salary. But the clerk said this particular necklace was found somewhere in china. The gemstone is of unknown origins, maybe even from space." remarked Donna crossing her arms. "Why don't you take a closer look at the craftsmanship?"

She did so and noticed a small diamond mark in the center of the gemstone itself. "Wow…"

Donna gave a devious smile as more subtle lights shined in Melanie's eyes with her finding herself mesmerized the more she looked at the necklace. "Want to wear it Melanie?"

"Yeah…"

"Then put it on dear."

Melanie did so while feeling wobbly and sat down while groaning.

"Oh my, is something wrong sweetie?" asked Donna in fake concern.

"Ugh…" she groaned while the necklace started lighting up again. "Ugh…."

She sat on the bed while Melanie groaned again. "Maybe you should stand up."

"Ugh…." she groaned while getting up as her brain became numb and almost liquid like.

"Are you feeling ok?" Donna asked. "Shake your head like a dog if your ok."

Melanie shook her head with Donna smiling.

"Now go ahead and do some jumping jacks."

She then started doing the motion while the waterbed jiggled up and down.

"Now roll on it like an excited puppy."

She did so while looking very happy.

Donna smirked at this while very happy that the necklace worked. "Alright dear, now I want you to get up and stand up straight."

She did so while looking very glazed and unable to move on her own accord.

"Now listen very carefully. I hereby decree that you will be perfectly fine with our family's tradition. You will not remember or even care for someone called Terry and instead be happy being in a fresh new place to call your home. You will also not be so resistant when I wish to, shall we say, 'experiment' or show you adult wonders. When I snap my fingers you won't remember what I've said, but you will still obey, do I make myself clear?"

She nodded.

SNAP!

Melanie blinked and shook her head in confusion. "Huh? What?"

"What's wrong Melanie?"

"I...don't remember. I think I was just staring out into space."

"Oh it must've been the food. Oh well, you live and learn." Donna sighed. "Anyway, do you want to swim with me?"

She blinked. "Sure."

"Good, but I want you to swim naked."

"N-Naked?" blushed Melanie, but didn't refuse.

Donna took off her clothes and smiled. "Yes, and we shall swim and experiment tonight." 'Fu fu fu.'

Melanie stared at her mom's body and gulped before reaching for her own clothes and started taking them off.

When both became naked, each one having a very sexy body, they jumped into the water and began swimming.

All the while Donna stared at her daughter. She licked her lips while getting excited already.

'He he, I can't wait to have my way with her~' she thought with a smirk. 'By the time I'm done she'll be moist everytime I talk to her.'

Melanie swam around the pool while Donna stayed in one spot while waiting for the right opportunity to strike. "Wow, this actually feels kinda nice."

"That it is, so come over here and give me a hug." Donna said while extending her hands out.

Melanie turned and swam over while not feeling embarrassed or shy. Only for her to get hugged by the older woman while feeling very happy.

"Melanie, you are so cute when you're like this." she purred in her ear with Melanie blushing and feeling a hand move down her back. "You've grown up so well you remind me of myself at your age."

"T-Thanks."

"But you need some experience." She said with a loud purr. "So I think it's time to show you the pleasures of the body~"

Melanie turned red hearing that before finding her head tilted and her lips claimed by Donna. "Mmm?!"

Donna kept on kissing before rubbing her daughter's slit with her right hand.

"Mmm?!...mmmm?...mmmm~" Melanie let out as she slowly came over her shock and started to kiss back and relax while shivering from the fingers. She then felt her chest getting groped by the left hand as her nipples became erect from the stimuli. 'I-I don't get why, but this is feeling pretty good.'

'He he.' Donna thought before whispering into her ear. "Time to make love my child, so get ready for a night of passion~"

Melanie turned crimson while her mind felt liquid like and unable to stop herself from wanting it. She found her mom kissing her again, this time with her tongue snaking into the mouth.

Donna then started to pull at the nipples while Melanie felt completely in heaven for some reason as they kept on kissing like lovers. 'Getting nice and hard already, perfect.'

Both kept this up for a long time as the night became passionate and full of forbidden and dark love, a classic case for this kinda story.

(Timeskip)

-Small time bank in London-

It was a quiet evening as only two guards were there to keep an eye on the vault itself. One of them yawned and looked at his watch.

"Bloody hell, why can't it be time to clock out already?"

"You know the rules, no quitting until five in the morn." Another guard said while near the vault itself.

The first one groaned before noticing a card on the floor, confusing him before walking over and picked it up to see a spade on it. "Hey, who's is this?"

"What is what?"

"The spade."

He looked confused while seeing the spade. "Someone must have left it before the bank closed."

"That's odd." he replied before some kind of gas started spraying out of the card making him cough and drop it before the gas started to fill up the space with the other guard jumping at attention.

"What the blo-" he was cut off as he started coughing with the air leaving him before both of them passed out right there.

That was when a few figures appeared from behind the pillars and the leader tisked.

"To think a little sleeping gas would leave them like this. And I was hoping for some resistance."

"Just makes this all the more easy." remarked another which was shown to be Jack.

"Ace. Rip the vault open." Said the now revealed Queen. "Nine, guard the entrance."

Said member disappeared and reappeared near the gates while Ace walked over and began pulling the door off its hinges. It creaked and broke open while Ten walked inside with some bags.

"Go for the big bars Ten, Jack you go for the smaller gems, they're of higher quality here compared to the others."

"Yes mom."

"Fine."

Queen smirked while everything was going according to plan, especially with her daughter being her lover. She looked at Ten's backside as she went to get the bold with said teen feeling the eyes and blushed while trying to keep from making it clear she was feeling her groin grow warm. "Ten, make sure to check the ones at the very bottom."

"Yes mom." She said while moving towards the bottom, making Queen lick her lips. She bent down which gave her mother a clearer view making her gulp. 'I hope she doesn't tease me right now, I don't think I recovered from last night.'

'Fu fu fu, she's really making me want to 'teach' her again.' Queen thought while licking her lips. 'And I'm at my limit as well.'

"We've hit the goldmine, or shall I say, diamond mine." smirked Jack holding some diamonds in his hands. "It almost feels TOO easy. Maybe we should give the police some time to drop by, it'd make things a bit more interesting."

"No." Queen frowned. "We need to leave no trace of our existence, or do you want to be in jail?"

"But-"

"Jack, just get the gems and get ready to vanish into the night."

"Oh alright." he huffed.

Ten finished getting the gold bars while Queen smirked.

"Let us depart." She said before turning to Ace. "Open the wall and let us depart. That means you Nine."

The new member appeared next to Queen as Ace began ripping the wall apart and opened their way to their flying cards.

"I still don't trust this newbie." muttered Jack to Ten.

"I get it, but mom got him and he must be good." She said as they got into their cards and flew away.

"Even if he barely talks like Ace? At least we know what the big lug is like underneath, but we don't even know what this guy looks like."

"Just zip it Jack."

He groaned while Queen smirked at her daughter.

'Oh how I love this improved version. And soon, my family will never leave me~' she thought with lustful intent in her mind.
