Thanks to those of you who review I have written another chapter so enjoy!
One week had passed since Jesse had moved into the house. On their way to work Bruce and Faye would drop her off at Gotham High and she would take the train back to Wayne Enterprises when school ended, were she would spend time doing her homework and helping Grayson with his. Tonight was yet another charity ball which meant yet boring event they were obligated to attend. Grayson would not be going with Bruce and Faye because he had offered to stay home and keep Jesse company.
"Okay so the event ends at eleven and I should be back by then. Bruce will be going with me and then he has to go to the office and work for awhile so I don't know if he will be home. Grayson when he leaves for work, you promised to help him so you could learn about the company so, he will call you when he needs your help." Said Faye to the teenagers sitting in the movie room.
"Alright, I'll be ready." Said Grayson. His suit was finally ready and tonight would be his first night as Robin. So far the family had been able to keep their nightlife a secret from Jesse. On secret Faye knew she would not be able to keep however was the fact that she was pregnant, she had put on some weight recently and questions would begin to arise.
Bruce and Faye left for the party arriving late as usual and smile for the cameras, and ignoring the shouting questions from the reporters before heading inside. After giving each other a quick kiss they separated to greet all the people they were supposed to.
After the quick mingling Faye found Silvia and her group of friend and joined in their conversation.
"Faye, have you ever heard of a Pamela Isley?" Asked Silvia.
"No, I can't say I have why?" Asked Faye confused.
"Well she's at the party and no one knows who she is. Apparently she's a scientist and she came to Gotham to visit an old friend you remember Harleen Quinzel?"
"Yes, how could I forget out good friend Harley Quinn?" Said Faye darkly.
"Thing is when she went to prison to try and visit her she wasn't there. Makes you wonder where they put her then." Said one of the other women in the group.
"I'm sure it's safe." Said Faye.
"I bet that nutter Batman has her locked in a cage somewhere. Speaking of our city's vigilante we haven't seen much of his counterpart lately. At least now Fredrick will stop talking about how she must look in that suit, I mean men can be such animals, a nice pair of legs makes them lose all ability to reason." Said Silvia rolling her eyes.
"Speaking of men, has anyone noticed how Ms. Isley always seems to have a flock of them eating up her every word?" Said one of Silvia's friends.
"Where is this Ms. Isley?" Asked Faye looking around the room.
"Shush talk about something else she is coming over here." Said Silvia looking somewhere behind Faye. Faye turned around to see a red headed woman in a dark green dress coming towards them.
"Mrs. Wayne, it's nice of finally be able to introduce myself. Pamela Isley. You know it seems you can't go anywhere in this city without hearing about either you or your husband, the only people more famous are probably the Batman and his woman."
"Nice to meet you, and yes it would seem so." Said Faye with a smile, something about this woman made Faye instantly not like her. Maybe it was the green dress that reminded her of the Riddler's green suit or the red lipstick which reminded her of Harley Quinn.
"Well, I suppose I best leave you to your conversation I didn't mean to interrupt I just wanted to introduce myself." She said with a smile.
As the evening went on Ms. Isley became very popular with many of the men in the room no matter what the age of them, which cased many wives and girlfriends to instantly hate the woman as well.
"I mean sure she's attractive, but really look at them there hanging on her every word." Said Silvia glaring over at Ms. Isley who was by the bar talking with a group of men, Fredrick and Bruce just happened to be among them.
Faye looked at a clock on the wall and noticed it was getting late. "Excuse me, while I fetch my husband." Said Faye rolling her eyes. She made her way over to the group.
"Sorry to interrupt, I hope you don't mind if I steal my husband for a moment." Faye said with a rather fake smile and putting quite the emphasis on the word my. She and linked her arm with his and was now dragging him away from the group and outside onto the balcony.
"So I see you met Ms. Isley." She said.
"Yeah, she seems nice enough."
"Nice? Bruce please there is something wrong with that woman. Plus she's friend with Harley Quin doesn't that just scream evil?"
"I thought she was friend with Harleen Quinzel who was normal until she met the Joker. Faye I think you're over reacting just a little, it's probably just the hormones."
"The hormones?" She said incredulously. "Bruce I don't know what the hell is clouding your judgment but I can tell you hormones aren't clouding mine. Also have you looked at the clock recently, you and Grayson need to head over to work. I think the fresh air will do you good." She said rolling her eyes before heading back inside. She watched as Bruce returned back inside a few minutes later and left the building after giving her a quick kiss goodbye.
"Don't worry honey, all our husbands are acting like idiots right now." Said Silvia coming up beside her.
"Very true. What the hell is wrong with them?"
"Like I said before, they're men, and she's a nice pair of legs. But don't worry always remember you're the one wearing the ring. He obviously loves you if he was willing to give up his playboy ways" Said Silvia with a smile.
"Again true." Said Faye also with a smile.

Batman along with Robin were now speeding through the city in the Tumbler.
"So what are we looking for? The Joker, or that new girl?" Said Robin fidgeting in the seat.
"Neither, you're not ready for that yet. We are going to the Narrows but first we need to talk to Gordon."
Once they reached the police station they got out and climbed up the fire escape. Robin doing a flip onto the roof rather than just stepping onto it like Batman.
"We're not here to show off." He said rolling his eyes.
"Sorry." Said Grayson with a shrug. They walked over to Gordon who was standing over by the Bat signal.
"Any news on the woman?" He asked.
"No, she hasn't show up again. I'm beginning to think she just left." Said Gordon. He looked over at the vigilante and notice he was not alone. "And who are you?"
"Robin." Said Robin gesturing to the red bird symbol on his chest. His suit which was black like Batman had a red bird on it so they could identify who he was. He also wore a mask that only shielded his eyes not his whole face. (A/N Think like the suit in Batman and Robin.)
"He's filling in for Faye." Said Batman. "That reminds me I need you to do a background check on a Pamela Isley, she thinks something might be off about her."
"Alright sure." Said Gordon who had looked away for a moment and noticed the dark knight was gone and had left a rather confused Robin behind who looked rather flustered and embarrassed.
"Yeah, he does that." Said Gordon with a smile, he could tell whoever this kid was he still had a lot to learn.
"You should try living with him. I didn't realize the conversation was over. I'm just going to…go now." He said heading over to the fire escape and going back to the Tumbler where Batman was waiting.
"What took you so long?"
"I didn't realize you were done talking, you didn't even say bye or anything."
"You should have heard me leaving, I thought I trained you to listen for that."
"You're like trained by fuc-freaking ninjas!" Said Robin correcting his almost swearing when he received a glare from his mentor.
The rest of the way to the Narrows they rode in silence. Once there they got out of the car and began to walk around some of the alleyways in the Narrow. Eventually they came across a group of men huddled in an alleyway.
"You got the goods?" Asked one of them said in a muffled voice.
"You got the money?" Asked another one of them.
"Yeah, give me the goods and I'll give you the money." Said the first man who spoke. As Batman and Robin snuck closer they notice he was wearing a clown mask which would explain why his voice was muffled.
The other man looked hesitant. "Look my boss ain't gonna be to happy if this takes longer than it should." Said the man in the clown mask.
"Alright fine." Said the man handing over the "goods". The man in the clown mask handed him the money before pulling out a gun and shooting the man causing his fellows to run away before they too got kill.
"Let's get out of here." Said the man in the clown mask to the other men also wearing masks.
"Then can't get away." Said Batman to Robin before making his entrance.
"It's the Batman." Said one of the men after the person standing next to him was knocked to the ground.
"Nat, get the hell out of here." Said one of the clowns to the man holding a metal case. The clown with a case made a run for it and Robin took this as his time to join the fight. Using the railing from the fire escape to swing done and knock the clown with the case to the ground. The case skidded across the floor when the man fell and he scrambled to get it as Robin kicked him.
"Who the hell are you?" Said the clown as he got up facing Robin.
"That's not important." Said Batman who had already taken out the other clowns and came over to where they stood.
"Look man I'm just following orders." Said the clown holding his hands up in surrender.
"And if you were smart you would get out while you still can." Said Batman before knocking the man unconscious.
"We should take that to Lucius before we open it, we have no idea what's inside it." Said Batman.
"It had a biohazard sign on it." Said Robin inspecting the case.
"Doesn't seem much like the Joker to want something like that, he's up to something and I have a feeling the incident involving that woman was not a coincidence. She's involved, and maybe even Ms. Isley as well."
"I though you said it wasn't here."
"Yes, but Faye's had a hunch so you can never be too careful." He said as they headed back to the Tumbler.
They spend some more time driving around the city looking for anything out of the ordinary and found nothing to lead them any closer to what the Joker might be up to.
When they got home it was about two in the morning and Faye was waiting for them in the cave, along with Alfred who was holding a first aide kit.
"We're fine." Said Bruce taking of his mask.
"Good, so how'd it go?" She asked Grayson who looked rather tired.
"Fine." He answered.
"How many criminals did you take out, I remember I knocked about 6 or so guys unconscious my first time."
"Oh…um…one, but he worked for the Joker and was carrying this." Said Grayson holding up the metal case.
"And you brought it here! Bruce what if that thing is a bomb!" Said Faye in alarm.
"I don't think it's a bomb." Said Bruce realizing the possibly fatal mistake.
"We could always open it and find out." Said Grayson eyeing the box with curiosity.
"No!" Both Bruce and Faye said at the same time.
"Grayson why don't you go to bed we have to get up in a few hours anyway." Said Faye.
"Urgh, don't remind me." Said Grayson with a yawn heading upstairs.
"I'm taking this over to Lucius tomorrow to see what he says about it. It looks like something that would carry some sort of chemical. I'm not going to open it until I hear what he has to say." Said Bruce taking the case and putting it in a metal safe until he would come and get it tomorrow. "Now come on, you need your rest."
"I know I'm exhausted I just couldn't fall asleep worrying about you two this whole time." Said Faye with a yawn.
"I know, which gives me something to fight for, knowing I have you waiting for me at home." He said picking her up bridal style and carrying her to up the stairs.
"You better say something like that after they way you were attacking early."
"Honestly Faye, I was just talking to the woman. You have no reason to be jealous of her, I will always love you. You never let stuff like this bother you before."
"I know, maybe you're right, the hormones are making me a little cranky. After all I don't usually want to punch someone in the face after meeting them, but there is defiantly something about that woman that bothers me. I just can't figure it out." Faye said with a sigh.
"Speaking of stuff to do with the baby shouldn't you have visited a doctor by now. I mean you don't even know for sure how far along you are."
"Well since I still have morning sickness sometimes I'm about two months or so, but I do need to make an appointment I just keep forgetting, plus I know the moment I do it will be in the tabloids I've been trying to avoid that."
"I know, but call later today and make one okay."
"Okay." She said giving him a quick kiss goodnight before he set her down on the bed. She was so tired she practically fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
Don't forget to tell me what you think! I love to hear feedback. Review!
