Hi guys, here is a new update. Thank you all so much for your feedback by review and by favoring/following this story. It means a lot. This one is up a little sooner than expected, mainly because I had some sudden inspiration. Well, swiftbolt99 helped me a little with settings of a meeting between Selina and Bruce's double. At first I wanted her to be knocked to the head and waking up, staring into this boy's face. I was doubting about that part myself as well, so I'm glad swiftbolt99 gave another suggestion, which helped a lot because now I combined his idea with the new inspiration I had:D

anyway, enjoy reading:D


Chapter 2: Chance meeting

Selina walks inside the open cave, awe-stricken. Nor Alfred, nor Bruce stopped her because they knew it would be pointless. Bruce nods to his butler it's fine and that he can leave them alone for a while. It's up to him to do the explanation, not Alfred's.

Alfred nods back understandably and leaves as Bruce slowly scurries into the open cave and looks down the stoned steps. Selina is already at the bottom of the stairs and walks inside the room, taking everything in.

Bruce follows quietly and isn't really sure it's up to him to talk first or that he has to wait for her to speak. Waiting for her is easier because then he knows whether she's angry or not for keeping this a secret for her so long.

Selina scopes her eyes through the small and dusty room. She sees the emergency table and the used IV bag in the corner beside a small fridge which is obvious used for more bags of blood. There's the bullet proof vest, and the big desk in the middle of the room with computer screens on it.

"I guess this room once belonged to your dad, huh?" Selina asks and her voice pulls Bruce from his thoughts. The boy looks up and watches Selina walk near the desk and moves one of her hands across the top as she lingers around it and stands still, facing the computer screens.

Bruce takes a step toward her and the desk. "Selina, I wanted to tell you about this, so many times, but…" Bruce swallows and drops his eyes to the floor again. "But…

"Alfred stopped you from telling me," Selina fills in. Bruce nods slowly and steals glances at his friend, now walking back around the desk and across the room, away from him. Suddenly she stops walking and for a few seconds she looks around again. Then she sighs deeply and turns; "Still, you could have told me, Bruce."

There's another pause as Bruce looks at her face, not really sure whether it's filled with anger, sadness or betrayal. But then again, Selina was never an open book and that always made things complicated between them.

"I wanted to, honestly…" Bruce takes a step toward her. "But then Alfred said it could bring you into danger, and I didn't want you to get hurt because of me and what I was doing." Bruce's voice broke at the end of the sentence, and Selina tilts her head to one side, frowning. "I'm sorry Selina and I would understand if you're angry at me."

Bruce drops his eyes to the floor again, and Selina sighs deeply before saying; "I'm not angry, B. Disappointed? Yes." Now It's her that walks closer to Bruce and stares him straight in the eyes as he looks up, frowning. "I mean, it's me you are talking about. I life on those freaking streets for a very long time and have been in more troubles than you can imagine. I can take care of myself, you know I can. Besides, I do remember many occasions I kicked people's butt to safe yours. I kicked peoples butt to safe my own, and I will keep doing that, with or without your secret."

Bruce stares into the green eyes that are piercing determined into his. The young billionaire swallows and opens then his mouth to say something, but he seems speechless. Selina beams a half-smile at him and says; "Now, if you'll excuse me, there are places I have to be and butts that I need to kick."

Selina walks around Bruce and out the secret room, leaving a stunned little billionaire behind who's wondering what just happened.


Alfred stands in the corner of the hospital room while Mr. and Mrs. Wayne talk and gloat at their new-born child. The butler can tell that Mrs. Wayne. is very exhausted and can barely keep her eyes open but strongly fights against it because she doesn't want to lose her baby-boy from her sight. Mr. Wayne can't keep his eyes off the lad either as he rocks it softly in his arms.

Through the door's window, Alfred sees one of the doctors walk through the corridor and excuses himself politely to the happy parents before rushing out, regally. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne were to occupied with little Bruce Wayne to notice it.

The butler rushes after the doctor and asks him if he can speak him for a moment because he still has a few questions. The doctor nods and hands a stack of files to a passing nurse and sits down with Alfred in the empty waiting room.

Alfred still has a few questions about the complications that happened during the labor and wants some more details about it. Especially about the part were a nurse came out with the baby while doctors kept encouraging Mrs. Wayne to keep pushing.

The doctor nods understandably and then explains the butler, Mrs. Wayne had lost a lot of blood, and that the baby wasn't breathing so the nurse took it out to clean his lungs and make him breath. Luckily it worked and the boy turned out fine. That the doctors kept telling her to push was because her placenta was stuck, so she needed to push harder to get it out.

Alfred didn't know much about child labor, but it sounded all reasonable. The butler thanks the doctor for his time and walks back through the corridor, almost bumping into a lady with a baby in her arms.

The butler excuses for being ruthless while the woman throws a dry smile at him before walking on. Alfred saw a glimpse of the baby. It was also a boy and with tiny strings of black hair. Alfred couldn't help and wander how much the little lad reminds him of Bruce. But then again, they say new-born babies can look the same.

Alfred shrugs it off and walks back into the room where he finds a sleeping Mrs. Wayne, and a very happy gloating Mr. Wayne. The younger man walks over to his friend and orders him to hold out his arms to take the baby. He wanted nothing more than that his little son would get used to his long-time friend, because he also would be an important role model in the child's life.


Alfred walks into the cave to tell his young master about the dinner that is waiting in the study. He finds the fourteen year old boy on his own.

"I thought Miss Kyle would stay to join you for dinner," Alfred says as he locks his hands behind his back and stands regally, like always. "No problems, I wish."

Bruce doesn't look up from the screen and replies absently; "No, she had to be somewhere, urgently." Alfred sighs deep as he resumes watching his young master for a bit longer, darting his eyes across the screen to take in every piece of information his dad kept hidden on it.

Realizing the boy won't come out the cave for another hour or so, Alfred turns around and decides to safe the dinner in the fridge and warm it up for later use. After that the butler figures there isn't much to do around as long Bruce is down the cave, he better might as well watch some TV in the meantime, even if it's the same crazy news-loop of the asylum breakout that happened days earlier. Obviously there was nothing else talk about.

Selina is roaming through her usual realm and sees some street kids of her age standing at the corner of an alleyway, warming their hands above a bin-fire. Figuring there is not much to do for her at the time being, the young girl walks closer and warms her cold hands as well.

Staring absently into the flames and drowning out their chatter, Selina sinks into her own thoughts and remembers what happened the past few days, mainly Bridgit. A part of her is happy her friend is still alive, but on the other hand, she wasn't the girl she used to know and maybe would never be. Professor Strange really had messed up her brains.

And then Jim left as well, maybe a good thing but maybe also not. Even though he was a suck cop at times, he still seemed the only cop that really cared enough about other people's wellbeing. And, maybe, if he does return, he can do something for Bridgit so she would get the proper care she needed.

Suddenly, she feels someone brush gently against her arm as this person stands still beside her to fill in an empty spot between her and some other street kid. Selina looks up and at the new kid as he warms his hand. She can't see much of him apart from the long dark hair that falls alongside his face. She can tell it's a him and not a her by the way of his clothing and body posture.

"Freezing night, huh?" the boy suddenly says to the other street kid beside him, making Selina frown a little. There is something familiar in that voice. It sounded just like Bruce's.

"Yeah, it is," the street boy replies, and Selina scurries away from the bin and into the shadows of the alleyway. Suddenly the boy takes a pack of sandwiches from under his jacket and shows it to the other kids, offering them some of it.

Selina scurries further into the shadows. Even though this kid sounds strangely like Bruce, there is something fishy about him. Something….odd.

"Aren't you hungry, Cat?" One of the street girls asks, and Selina automatically shakes her head, cautiously. That's also the moment the boy looks her way and narrows his eyes as he tries to stare into the darkness, tries to see her face.

Selina however, can see his face clearly now as the fire illuminates his face. He has a striking resemblance to Bruce. Though he can't see her completely, the boy throws a smile at her.

The young girl starts to wonder if it's really Bruce. It must be, right? Something like doppelgangers doesn't exist, right? But if it was Bruce, she has to give him credit for being smart and disguise himself with a long-haired wig. Alfred surely would go bonkers if he'd found out Bruce is on re-search path again.

But her cat-senses tell her to be cautious. Even though this kid looks a lot like Bruce, she can tell he isn't. There is something in his eyes. Something she never seen in Bruce's before. Listening to the cat-like senses that had protect her so far, Selina turns around slowly and starts walking away, further into the alleyway. As she walks off, Selina can hear the boy introduce himself to other remaining street kids.

"I'm Thomas Wayne Jr, Bruce Wayne's brother."

That's when Selina makes a break for it.


So, what do you think? I really wish I didn't write either of the characters out of character, especially Bruce or Selina. I still find it a little hard to write season 2 Bruce, if you know what I mean. I gues writing little/awkward Bruce is easier for me XD
