When Eden woke up, she looked at her phone to see it was Six o clock. She quickly jumped out of bed and quickly put her ring on. She went to the Zeta beams and saw only Super Boy was on the couch watching non static television which was rare nowadays. He looked Eden's way and said,
"Nightwing left at about Five, he left you in charge." Eden looked away and replied with,
"Well I have to go so now l leave you in charge." Eden then ran to a Zeta Beam and she went to Gotham. Thankfully, she was in the alley with her Motor Cycle and she took off her ring, and rode as quickly as she could to Jameson Manor. Eden made it there in time to see Spencer standing there impatiently.
"Your mother is worrying!" He said. Eden just put her motorcycle and helmet in the five car garage, and went up to her room. She took a shower, brushed her long curly brown hair, put on eyeliner and black eyeshadow, small amount of foundation and a bit of blush, and red lipstick.
She went to go see her dress and saw it was a strapless floor length red taffeta dress which was gorgeous. She put on a pair of silver heels to go with it. By the time she finished getting ready it was seven. She went downstairs and saw Maude in a black spaghetti strap floor length gown. Eden rushed over to her adopted mom and then Maude said,
"I am so glad you are okay." Maude then pulled her into a hug. Eden returned it and then Maude said,
"Bruce and his son are here." Eden just laughed and they walked around and finally saw Bruce and his son. His adopted son as Maude had told him was handsome. They walked over and Maude and Eden were smiling. They approached and Bruce then shook hands with Maude and Eden and then started talking to Maude alone.
"Hi I'm Richard but I go by Dick." Dick had told Eden. Eden smiled and said,
"I'm Eden, but I go by Eden." Dick smiled and shook her hand.
"So your Maude's daughter then?" Eden shook her head,
"Adopted, my parents died." Dick nodded and then a girl came up to Dick,
"Would you care to dance?" Dick looked at the girl and said,
"Sorry no." The girl then looked at Eden and said,
"Apologies." They both nodded and then they looked back at each other when the girl left.
"You get asked that a lot?" Dick nodded and then a guy walked up to Eden.
"No to be forward or anything, but do you wanna dance." Eden then said,
"No sorry I'm currently with my boyfriend." Dick looked at her and then the guy nodded and went away.
"Sorry I had to call you that, he'll now tell other girls and guys not to ask you or I to dance since they'll think we're dating."
"Not just a pretty face." Dick said to her. Eden smiled and then Dick offered,
"Would you care to dance?" Eden nodded and then they started dancing with each other. Eden felt like she knew Dick from somewhere but couldn't quite place it.
"Have we met before?" Eden asked him. Dick shook his head and they continued dancing.
"So, I hope you don't mind me bringing this up, but I know what it feels like to have your parents die. But can I know how they did?" Dick asked her.
"It's fine, but my parents were Amelia and Liam Gray, scientists who had an experiment turn on them... I was seven. What about you?" She asked. He looked at her and said,
"I'm sorry and my parents were The Greyson's. they died in an acrobatic incident. I was nine."
"Wait, as in The Flying Greyson's?" Eden asked. Dick smiled and nodded sadly.
"I went to one of your shows." Eden said.
"That's probably why you think I look familiar." Eden then shook her head,
"Nope you remind me of someone, someone I have known for a very long time." She said trailing off. Eden looked at Dick and smiled,
"I'm sorry I don't need to bore you about my life story." She said. Dick laughed and then offered,
"Well since people think we're already seeing each other, would you mind dancing with me Miss Gray?" Eden smiled and said,
"Why of course Mr Greyson." Eden took Dick's hand, smiled, and they started dancing. Eden remembered when she was nine and had to go to these type of things, she always laughed with the boys her age at all the dancing couple, mimicking and mocking them.
"Eh hem! Everyone I would like to thank-" Eden saw Maude was starting to give her speech and everyone was to go sit at a table. She looked at the table where Maude was and Bruce was sitting there a the four people table.
"Looks like those other two seats are for us." She said while leading Dick over there. They sat down and then Maude had finished her speech. It was kind of quiet and then Maude nudged Eden.
"I'm supposed to give a speech?" She whispered. Maude sent her a, If you were here by five you would've known look. Eden stood up awkwardly and took the microphone from Jeeves.
"Um sorry for that little mix up I didn't know. Anyways I would just like to congratulate Miss Maude Jameson for being such a terrific, Designer, Worker and Mother." Eden sat down and everyone clapped slowly clearly not impressed. They all then were served their food and started eating.
"So Eden, what do you do for a job?" Bruce asked her. Eden looked at him and replied with,
"That's classified Mr Wayne." She saw Dick stifle a laughter and thy all went back to eating. Soon they all were finished and then the band started playing a slower song called Sleep Away by Bob Acri. Dick looked to Eden and she nodded. The two got up and went to go dance.
"So, what do you do for a job?" Dick asked her. She smiled and said,
"Classified... You?"
"Same." He said they danced some more enjoying each others company.
"So, what are you doing this Saturday?" Rick asked her. She looked at him and replied,
"I'm going to have to talk to my lead- I mean boss but if your asking me oh on a date, I'll pull some strings." Dick smiled and then Bruce came over and said,
"Eden it was nice to meet you. Dick it's time to go." Eden smiled, kissed Dick's cheek and then waved to him good bye.
