Thank you everyone who has been reviewing. Here is another chapter, enjoy!
The next morning Faye woke up find that Bruce was not beside her. She went looking for him and eventually found him in the study, inspecting the piano.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a yawn.
"Someone moved the piano. Has Grayson been in here?"
"Alfred has to usher him out of here all the time. The kids smart I wouldn't be surprised if he found it suspicious that whenever we leave for 'work' the cars never leave the driveway."
"We should be more careful about things like that, if someone finds out about us…"
"Bruce no new criminals know about us. The only one who does is The Joker and he hasn't exactly been around much lately."
"I know, he must be up to something, we should be ready for something like that."
"I know I was thinking of hiding my suit in the car when we go to that Charity Ball tonight. Remember I told you a few weeks ago I had Lucius install that smuggler compartment in the Bentley.
"Why can't we hide mine in there again?"
"Because it won't fit, I suit is smaller."
"I just don't like the idea of you facing The Joker by yourself."
"Hey, if I remember correctly I kicked your ass the last time I fought you, what are you worried about." Said Faye with a teasing smirk.
"Need I remind you that I was trying to kill you like you were trying to kill me. Also their had defiantly been a few time I have saved your wonderful ass." Said also with a teasing smirk Bruce an arm snaking around her waist and pulling her closer to him.
"I bought new dress for the party tonight, it's blue I know how much you love me in that color."
"Let's be late to work today." Whispered Bruce as he started to kiss down her neck.
"Fine by me." Said Faye. They were however interrupted by the door opening and Grayson walking in.
"This is the problem with being homeschooled it very liking they you will see your teacher doing things you never wanted to see them doing."
"Grayson, what are you even doing in here?" Asked Faye freeing herself from Bruce's ministrations.
"Hey, I don't ask why you own a copy of the Karma Sutra with dog eared pages, which apparently my Aunt Sophie gave you, and in return you don't ask about my life deal?"
"Okay, you out." Said Faye ushering Grayson out into the hallway.
"Does this mean I don't have school day?" Asked Grayson as Faye shut the door in his face.
"You own a copy of the Karma Sutra?" Said Bruce with a smirk.
"Sophie gave it to me a birthday present a few years ago, she thought it was funny because, I told her wanted a historical book, for my birthday. She said it combined something I loved with that not many people loved with something everyone loved. History and sex."
"How come I've never seen it?"
"It's in the library, you just never go in there."
"Well now I might have to." Muttered Bruce.
Faye just laughed and rolled her eyes. "Come on we should probably get ready for work anyways. I can't give Grayson a day off from school just because we don't want to go to work."
"That kid had impeccable timing." Muttered Bruce and they reluctantly headed back to the bedroom to get ready for work.
The rest of Faye's day went by like it usually did. Grayson didn't really apply himself in school. The rest of her students enjoyed the tutoring help. She was now at home getting ready for the event. In fact the whole family was. Grayson had decided he wanted to come because he knew Harry would be their and he enjoyed talking to him. Once at the party Grayson left to talk with Harry and Bruce went to get drinks leaving Faye alone until Bruce returned. She spotted Commissioner Gordon.
"Hi Commissioner." She said greeting him.
"Ah, yes, hello Mrs. Wayne." He said with smile.
"I suppose you're here to supervise security right?"
"Yes, I am. Do you think something might happen tonight?"
"Me? No. But a friend of mine is ready to show up if the occasion calls for it." She said with a smile. "If you'll excuse me I think my husband went to go get drinks and I if don't find him he will get sucked into some conversation and never come back."
Faye found Bruce and the two of them mingled like they always did at these function about and hour later however the party became anything but normal. A gunshot rang out through the crowd.
"Good ev-ening ladies and gen-tlemen." Said a voice easily recognized. How me always managed to get past security Faye would never know. Everyone except Bruce, Faye, Grayson and Gordon looked rather shocked to see him.
"What? You look Sur-prised to see me. Did you actually think I had just disappear-red? Didn't anyone t-ell you about the fir-eworks tonight?" He said his signature laugh.
"Where's Grayson?" Bruce whispered to Faye. He soon found his answer someone from the crowd emerged and threw what appeared to be a champagne bottled at The Joker's head. It hit him causing him to double over in laughter before then turning to face his attacker.
"You killed my parents!" Grayson shouted at him.
"Look, kid, I ki-ll a lot of pe-ople it's nothing per-sonal. I also have no id-ea who your parents we-re." Said The Joker rolling his eyes. "Now where was I? Oh yeah fireworks…"
"What you're not going to even fight me!" Said Grayson.
"Why, would I want to fight you?" Said The Joker with a laugh
"I don't know. Are you afraid or something?"
The Joker let out a sigh of annoyance. "I'm kind of in the middle of something kid. Alright who does the or-phan punk belong to?"
"Grayson, stop trying to fight him, you have not idea what you are dealing with." Said Bruce. Faye would have usually stepped in but she was already gone.
"Why am I not surprised? Oh cour-se he would be-long to you. Look kid listen to Brucey here, he should kn-ow my fri-end Harley shot his wife."
"I don't care I'll still kill you." Said Grayson lunging at The Joker but Bruce held him back. "Let me go!"
"No, this is for your own good."
"Wow, Brucey here must be pretty str-ong to be able to h-old you back. Course you probably haven't spend mu-ch time looking for the skeletons in his closets. Not that you would find any of those of cour-se. After all, all you o-wn in suits right Brucey." Said The Joker with a sinister smile.
"He probably doesn't have one like mine." Said a voice from the crowd. Batwoman emerged and was now facing The Joker. She turned to Gordon and said "Get everyone out of here."
"Well, can't say I was exp-ecting ju-st you." Said The Joker.
"Sorry to disappoint." Said Faye the two of them circling one another waiting until the other strikes.
"Lad-ies first." Said The Joker stopping and smirking at her. And so the fight began. Everyone else had already poured out of the building so it was just the two of them. They were at a stalemate neither one seemed to be able to gain advantage over the other. Finally The Joker put up his hands in surrender.
"By the wa-y, I just thought you might want to kn-ow that the fireworks will be star-ting in oh, a little less than 5 minutes." He said looking at his watch. Faye had a sinking feeling that he did not mean actual fireworks. "This building will be, the gran-d fin-ally." Faye kicked his feet out from under him and started to make her escape. "You also might want to k-now that I got a n-ew watch, this one's a little sl-ow." He called after her.
"Damn it!" She said aloud. If he new watch was slow that meant that the 'fireworks' would be going off earlier that the time it was on her watch. She ran as fast as she could and jumped behind a parked car just as the explosion went off. Causing the building she was just in and three other building to be reduced to flaming rubble. Sirens could already be heard on the scene as firefighters and policemen rushed over.
"Are you alright?" Said deep familiar voice as a pair of strong hands helped her up.
"I'm fine." She said looking at the destruction.
"Was anyone inside?" Asked Batman.
"The Joker probably left the building the same time I did, I don't know about the other buildings." She said.
"We should get out of here. We can talk to Gordon later." He said leading her over to the tumbler.
"Alright."
Once inside the car she turned to Bruce and said "You got here really fast."
"I know. I dropped Grayson back at the house changed and then drove straight here. I might have sped a little."
"Only a little." She said with a smile.
When they got home and changed they both joined Grayson on the couch who was watching the new.
"Where have you two been?"
"I thought we had a deal Grayson I wouldn't ask you questions unless you asked me them." Said Faye using he own words against him.
"Have they said if anyone was in the building or not." Asked Bruce.
"Yeah, they said most of them were empty the ballroom we were in was cleared out before the explosion. The surrounding buildings were mostly vacant offices. Their was a Botany and Biotech lab that they though might have had a scientist in it but they haven't given any details yet." Said Grayson.
"I didn't think they would." Said Faye.
"They said they might show some footage someone got of Batwoman jumping from the building."
"Oh that's not important they should be talking about actual news."
"Who cares, she's hot."
"Grayson I think she's a little too old for you." Said Faye rolling her eyes.
"You never know she might secretly be a cougar." Said Bruce with a teasing smirk. Faye threw a pillow at him.
"That's not funny. At least people don't think she runs around in tights."
"Hey, Batman wears armor not tights." Said Bruce throwing the pillow back at her.
"You guys know way to much about all of this." Said Grayson looking at the pair skeptically.
"Grayson, Batman has saved my life countless times I think I know a little more about him then most people." Said Faye.
"And we have been living in this city longer than you have, you pick up on the few things." Said Bruce with a shrug.
Grayson looked as though he was about to say something when Faye's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" She said answering it.
"Mrs. Wayne this is Jim Gordon, can you come down to the station we are questioning everyone who was at the event."
"Do you want 'me' to come or me to come?" Said Faye not really sure whether he need her to come or her alter ego.
"The you that showed up later, it would be preferable if you brought you partner with you."
"Sure I can be their in five minutes." Said Faye hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" Asked Bruce.
"A student of mine needs me help, do you think you could drive me there?" Said Faye staring into his eyes hoping he got the message.
"Yeah sure." Said Bruce getting up from the couch. The couple then proceeded down the hallway and into the study. Faye could only wonder what Jim Gordon wanted to talk to them about.
