A/N: Hello my dear readers~! It's been- *RUN AWAY SCREAMING FROM BANSHEES, ER, I MEAN MY BELOVED PATIENT READERS WHO HAD WAITED FOR SO LONG FOR ME TO UPDATE* OKAY FINE! ON WITH THE STORY!


Chapter 12 (Friendly Visits Part 2)

Once he was near enough the foyer, Barry could hear Bruce talking with someone…extremely familiar.

"What, on bloody earth, are you two doing here?" He heard Bruce asks gruffly… and somewhat with a tone of defeat and exasperation.

"Um, you're not going to throw a batsy fit, are you?"

There was a sound of a swipe, followed by a groan. Then a female voice drifts into the house.

"Bruce, we're here because−"

"NO." Bruce immediately intervenes.

"You haven't even heard what I was about to tell you!"

"And I don't need to hear it from you to know what it is."

"So then, can I take Roy inside now?" The male voice asks which Barry recognized with a grin as Oliver Queen. He immediately zoomed besides Bruce.

"No!"

"Ah, ah, ah…" Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow and Star City's own billionaire, sing-sang softly to his friend as he wags a finger in front of Bruce's face, "…you also haven't said no to anything because you didn't let my beautiful wife here to finish."

Dinah Queen, let out a triumphant humph and smirked smugly at Bruce.

Barry laughed out loud. "That's almost exactly like what I said earlier to Batsy here!"

"Okay hush, both of you. Bruce, I'm sure you understand. You got your own kid now- and might I remind you that we're the kids godparents for Pete's sake!- I'm certain situations like these will occur on the future where our situations are reversed."

"Eh, you're right," Barry blinks and then looks hopefully up at Bruce. "Whatcha say to that?"

Bruce groans softly, bringing a hand to massage his forehead, he released a weary sigh before giving up all together because there's no arguing around these three when they're this persistent. Plus, he's not really in the mood to grouch considering his beloved son is in such a good mood today.

"Where's the kid?" Bruce asks tiredly.

Dinah and Ollie shared a look for a moment, and then Ollie went out of the door without another word.

Barry raised his eyebrows in surprise. "You left Roy in the car?" Dinah glared lightly at him, crossing her arms in defense and annoyance. "He's sleeping," she snapped simply, "we don't want to wake him up for nothing in case Bruce refused."

Bruce frowned at that. "Where will you take him then, if I refused?"

Dinah glanced at Barry before looking back at Bruce, her arms dropping to her sides. "Next to you, we plan on taking him to Barry originally, but then we remembered that Iris is going with Barry to our event tonight so we figured we'll take him to my parent's house if you refused him."

Bruce clicked his tongue. "Why didn't you take him to your parent's in the first place?" Dinah glared at him. "Gotham City is just next to Star City, meaning it's much nearer."

Before Bruce could reply, Ollie re-entered the house with a sleepy Roy hanging limply in his arms. Roy's cheek was pressed against Ollie's shoulder in his midnight black coat, his reddish- orange hair and freckles standing out more with the contrasting colors, his green eyes barely peeking through his half- lidded eyes. Bruce could only sigh at the sight in regret; there goes his plan on spending the day and night alone with his little prince. And what's with the sleepy kids entering his house?

Ollie hefted Roy higher in his arms. "Here he is, he's still sleepy thou, I don't know if he'll eat or continue sleeping. We all haven't eaten lunch yet."

"Well in that case, I suggest you should join us to eat first before you take your leave. We all just started eating lunch ourselves."

Everybody (except Bruce) jumped when Alfred suddenly pops out of nowhere. Alfred only smiled at their comical reactions. "Come, join us at the dining room." He then turned around back to where he came from.

Roy blinked multiple times in his father's arms, now wide awake with Alfred's sudden appearance. "Alfred really is something. Daddy we should definitely get someone like him."

Barry laughed and reached out to ruffle Roy's hair, in which Roy frowned at and swatted his hands away. "Uncle Barry!" he cried. Bruce smirked and led them to the dining room; he got to admit that what Roy said made him incredibly proud of his butler, especially since there's nobody else in the world like Alfred.

"Are the kids in the dining room?" Ollie gruffly and slightly muffled asks as Roy is playing with his goatee and he opens and closes his mouth, pretending that he'll chomp off Roy's hands if ever he catches it. As if he'll intentionally catch it.

"Where's your other kid?" Bruce asks back. Translated as: Obviously. Stop asking stupid questions, you know you'll see them anyway.

Ollie rolled his eyes. "She's still at the Archery Camp." Then why are you also asking 'stupid questions'? You know she's still at the camp.

"Because you're stupid."

"Hey!"

"Boys!" Dinah huffed. "Stop acting like children."

"Honey, he started it!"

Dinah leveled him a look that clearly says 'Why on earth did I marry a child like you again?' Ollie grinned triumphantly. "I believe it's along the lines of because 'I love you so much, I couldn't live without you' and 'You're sooo handsome, more so than *ahem* Bruce Wayne *ahem* that I couldn't help myself falling deeply in love with you.' I am right, right?"

Roy stopped playing with his father's goatee and pretended to gag and vomit on his father's chest while Dinah simply rolled her eyes. "As if you could be more handsome than me." Bruce said without looking back at them.

"That I could definitely agree with." Dinah said immediately.

"WHAT!?" Ollie exclaimed, flabbergasted. Roy and Barry finally released the laughter they've been trying desperately to hold. Ollie pouted and reached to duck Barry upside his head but he super sped out of his reach. Barry made a mistake when he stopped next to Bruce, chuckling; Bruce turned to him, a DaddyBats glare firmly directed at him and he shut up in fright.

"If I can't be more handsome you," Ollie said, his tone revealing that he still hasn't gotten over their previous conversation, "who can then?"

Unearthly, sapphire blue eyes in a breathtaking handsome face adorned with kissable, full lips and a very muscular built dressed in red and blue immediately flashes across Bruce's mind. A flush started to creep up his face before he internally shook his head and turned his face to look at Ollie, a cocky grin on his lips. "Nobody."

Ollie and Barry jealously narrowed their eyes at him; both of them pouting. Dinah rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time and shook her head. Am I the only adult in this bunch?

"ROY!"

The joyous cry of a certain red headed child snapped the adults out of their 'argument'; they looked down to see a red streak coming to a stop in front of Ollie.

"Roy! You're here too?!" Wally exclaimed loudly and happily. "That's awesome! We three could play together! Come let me introduce you to Dick! He got lots of awesome stuffs and games like you do! Come, come, come, play with us!"

The adults (except Barry), including Roy, blinked hard. Oh my, motor mouth really runs in the family. Roy could only smile and meekly say, "Hello Wally."

"YOU GOT SUPER SPEED!?"

This time, everybody tensed at the hushed, awed gasp. They all turned to look frightfully at Bruce, who looks like he's torn between exploding or calming himself. Wally turned to his now ghostly pale uncle. "...Oops?"

Barry tremblingly forced his stiffed self to face Bruce. "Oops."

Bruce opened his mouth, but whether he'll start yelling at them or what, they will never know, because just then a black and blue blur tackled Bruce.

"Daddy! What's going on? Wally has powers! Does that mean they're superheroes too?!"

The Queen family stared bewilderingly at the sudden appearance of a small, talking doll hugging Bruce's legs. Wally nervously shuffled to his Uncle's side. Bruce, on the other hand, put on his forever stoic mask, his gaze flickering between his son- Oh! Is that sauce on Dick's chin? I must definitely take a picture of it before I wipe it off- the Queens, and the speedsters. He's debating whether to:

a) Lie even thou it wouldn't work on Dick and hurt his feelings by lying to him

b) Call Alfred to diffuse this awkward situation

c) Give up and do something uncharacteristic

Looking at the stares he's receiving, his brain opted for him the simplest choice.

He facepalmed.


The Queens were watching the kids play tag in the Wayne's grounds. Amused, they watch their son chase around the other two because he was the unfortunate one to be the 'it.' Wally keep zooming away, Dick keep swinging from tree to trees. Roy has to use his skills and the rope he borrowed from Alfred to make traps.

"He looks so much like Bruce, isn't he?"

Dinah nods with a soft smile on her face. "I couldn't see any resemblance from the mother."

Besides her, her husband tensed and looked wildly around before looking at her scandalized. "Honey! You're still on to that?! Bruce vehemently said to leave it alone! Or else we'll, we'll…" Ollie cuts himself off, shuddering from all the violent thoughts running through his mind.

Dinah scowls, "That child can't grow up without his mother. At one point in his life, he'll look for her."

"Well…" A new voice broke in to their conversation. "Knowing Bruce he can pull it off… Dick growing up without meeting his mother, that is."

Dinah's scowl got deeper. "Yeah, he could totally do that. But why? It's not as if the Dick's mother is dead! Bruce himself said so. It's not about keeping his public image either because we all know that deep down Bruce doesn't care about that. Plus, he has to take responsibility after impregnating someone... what if it is one of the three women he actually slept with? Or someone he met during the 1st year of his travels?"

Ollie massaged his forehead. "Enough, Dinah. Bruce said to drop it."

Dinah's lips twisted to show her displeasure. "It irks me that I can't find no resemblance of the mother at Dick."

They all look at Dick who was now hiding up in a tree, laughing at Roy's inability to climb one since he can't reach the branches. They talked about how Dick greatly resembles Bruce. This is the second time they saw Dick despite being the kid's godparents. The first time was around the time Dick got born- they never knew the mother and Bruce won't tell them no matter what. At least they know it wasn't Diana.

"Actually," Barry began. "Speaking of resemblances, I think I know someone else who looks like Dick but I can't -"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

OrionAurora & vampygurl402: TADA! UPDATE! Forgive me though; I really can't balance school and writing for the life of me T…T

Jayswing96: Seeing as your review was in Chapter 2, I guess by the time you reached this you already have an inkling as to who Dick's mother is, neh? Also, as for Alfred getting younger the answer is really simple: Don't people always seem younger when they're extremely happy? So Alfred looks young because he's so happy at Dick's birth ^_^
