Present Day
It was the middle of the day, Bruce, his fiancé Selina Kyle, and good friend John Blake are all down in the Batcave training John. Selina had volunteered to help by fighting John, while Bruce was giving John advice and directions on defending himself. Selina had kept beating John and now John is starting to get frustrated.
"You sure you don't want me to go easier on you?" says Selina.
"Yeah, I'm sure. Just give me all you got." says John barely able to catch his breath.
Selina, once again, tackles John to the ground with a laugh.
"You're not concentrating hard enough." says Bruce.
"I've been concentrated this whole time!" yells John frustrated, still laying on the ground.
"Look, it's not that hard, just concentrate on her moves, predict what's coming next, and use it against her." says Bruce walking up to John.
"How do I predict what's coming next? She unpredictable." says John getting up.
"No she's not, it's pretty easy." says Bruce crossing his arms.
"Hey!" says Selina from across the room.
"I didn't mean it like that. You are unpredictable at times." says Bruce with a smile.
"At times? When have you ever taken me down? I seem to recall throwing you to the floor, the first time we met, with just a small kick." says Selina walking up to Bruce.
"She what?" says John.
"You did not throw me to the floor, may I remind you I was…disabled at the time." says Bruce wrapping his arm around her.
"You two never did tell me how you met." says John grabbing a towel.
"Well that's a story for another time, how about some more training for right now." says Bruce.
"Oh c'mon, I've been training for hours, I think we should focus on other things." says John.
"Like what?" asks Selina.
"Like the wedding which is only a couple weeks away." says Alfred walking in with a tray full of clean towels and water bottles.
"We have the wedding planner to worry about that." says Bruce.
"Yes, but may I remind you he will be here in twenty minutes and you two love birds are going to have to make decisions on everything that's left." says Alfred offering the tray to Bruce and Selina.
"Right, well I better head to the shower, I'll meet you inside in fifteen." Selina says to Bruce with a kiss.
"Hey, Bruce." says John looking at the computer. "You better check this out."
Bruce hadn't even noticed John had been at the computer. "What is it?" he asks.
"There's been more robberies in Gotham." says John.
"That's something the police can handle." says Bruce walking up to him.
"No, it's her again." says John pointing at the screen.
There was a blurry picture of a woman with clown make-up dressed like a jester laughing on the screen.
"Her again. Who is she exactly? Do you think she's working for him?" asks Alfred.
"Her name is Harley Quinn apparently. No info on her real name though." says John.
"And whatever she's up to is not good, especially if she is working for him." Bruce says.
"We should go after her and question her." says John.
"No. Not yet at least. Gotham just found out Bruce Wayne is alive, they're not ready to find out so is Batman." says Bruce turning off the screen.
"C'mon Bruce, it'd be a great come-back. The Batman returns along with his new and amazing partner, Robin! It'd make a great headline." John says with a smile.
"Robin?" says Bruce with a laugh.
"You're name is literally man bat. And Robin's my birth name." says John crossing his arms.
"Is it?" says Alfred. "Why'd you change it?"
"Because I didn't think anyone would take me serious with Robin as a name, especially the police academy." says John.
"Well, I'd better get washed up. We'll finish training later." says Bruce walking away.
"Can't wait." says John sarcastically.
