(The Camera pans slowly throughout room, showing it's occupants. Tim, Dick, Cassandra and Stephanie watch Bruce, while he stands side-by-side with Selina).

"I'm sure you're wondering why I called you out here."

"Well, it's about the company, right?" Tim asks.

Bruce glances briefly at Selina, and then back at his children. "Not quite. You see — "

"Why is Selina here?" Dick interrupts, and then glances suspiciously at said woman.

Selina raises one eyebrow in response, and appears unruffled.

"Well — "

"Oh my god, is that an engagement ring?!"

At Steph's cry, everyone sits up, looking various degrees of shocked, disbelieving, and angry. A cry of "WHAT?!" echoes throughout the room.

"Yes," Bruce says, taking Selina's hand. "I will be marrying Selina."

He shoots her a loving glance, which she returns.

"Bruce — no!" Dick cries, jumping to his feat. "You can't! She's a thief! She stole your mother's pearls!"

"And I've forgiven her for that," Bruce responds patiently.

"She just wants your money!" Tim protests.

Selina's eyes narrow. "That's not true!" she says. "Tim, Dick, Cassandra, Stephanie — I love Bruce. I haven't been the best person, but I am determined to make it up to him, and all of you, by being the best wife and step-mother I can be."

Dick shakes his head vehemently. "I can't allow this!"

"Well you'l have too," Bruce retorts heatedly, "because I've realised I can't live without her. It took her falling off that roof, and me sitting by her hospital bed, waiting for her to wake up from that coma — " He pauses, swallowing, and Selina squeezes his hand supportively, " — to realise, but…I won't do it!"

"Bruce!" Tim cries.

Bruce opens his mouth, but doesn't have a chance to respond before the door bursts open, and a familiar figure walks into the room.

(The camera moves slowly from left to right, displaying the shocked, disbelieving expressions of each of the Wayne children. It then focuses on Selina, who stares furiously at the figure, and then Bruce, who looks as stunned as his children).

(The camera then moves to the figure standing in the doorway, revealing none other than Talia al Ghul, Bruce's former lover, and Selina's greatest rival).

"Stop!" Talia cries, striding forward. "Beloved, you cannot marry that woman!"

Gasps fill the room.

"Talia?!" Dick cries incredulously.

"Talia? What are you doing here?" Bruce demands. "You told me you'd be leaving the country!"

"She's not the right woman for you!" Talia snarls, jabbing a finger in Selina's direction.

"And what, you are?!" Selina retorts. "You tried to kill me, you psychopath! You pushed me off a roof!"

Talia snorts. "Please. You slipped." She turns to Bruce, while Selina glares at her. "Beloved; before you make any rash decisions, there's something you must know. It's about…that night we spent together, ten years ago."

"Talia — "

"He'll never be yours Talia!" Selina cries furiously.

"Be quiet!" Talia snaps. "When I say what I have to say, we'll see who he chooses!" She turned back to Bruce. "Beloved — "

Before she can say anything else, a young voice calls out, cutting her off abruptly.

"Mother? Can I come in now?"

Everyone turns to the doorway. Standing there is a young boy, who looks like he must be at least ten years old.

(The camera pans throughout the room, showing the dawning realisation of the faces of everyone present. It then focuses on Bruce, who is glancing between Talia and the boy, his eyes wide).

Talia smiles. "Beloved — meet your son."

AN:

So…after years of watching soap operas thanks to my mum's obsession with them, I decided to put that knowledge to good use xD These are each going to be fairly short bits of the 'episodes' in this fictional tv series, and in no particular order (so the next 'episode' will probably not follow directly after this).

Hope you enjoy!
