Athena slowly walked over to Bruce, who was eating some breakfast. She looked a bit nervous.
"Father?" she questioned in a small voice. Bruce looked over at the girl. He saw how tense she looked, and gave Athena a gentle smile.
"Yes, Athena?"
"Do you know what Wonder Woman and Black Canary are doing today?" she inquired.
"I believe Wonder Woman is off planet, and Black Canary is currently on an undercover mission. Why?" he questioned.
Athena looked slightly disappointed, but it only flashed passed her face for a second, and she quickly smiled at Bruce.
"It doesn't matter. May I have some breakfast?" she inquired.
Bruce looked at her, and Athena couldn't place exactly what the look was. He didn't look angry, but he didn't look happy either.
"Alfred made you a plate already." He informed as he pointed to the chair next to his, where Athena's plate was.
Athena climbed up on the chair and smiled at the sight of Alfred's home cooked Waffles with blue berries over it.
"Alfred makes the best Waffles." Athena said with a small smile.
"Athena, why did you want to know what Wonder Woman and Black Canary were doing today?" Bruce questioned, his eyes locking with Athena.
Athena couldn't lie to Bruce. It was impossible. She didn't think anybody could lie to him. And if they did lie, she knew that they wouldn't be able to get away with it.
"I got them things… and I was hoping to give it to them and spend the day with them." She said quietly frowning a bit, but then smiled. "But it's okay."
"Why today?" Bruce questioned. Athena looked down at her lap.
"It's nothing." She said quietly.
"Obviously, it isn't." Bruce stated. "Athena, why today?" he questioned again. Bruce kept his voice calm. He knew how Athena just pulled away the more someone pushed and raised their voice.
"It's Mother's Day." Athena whispered, still looking at her lap. Bruce's eyes widened, and he placed a hand on Athena's shoulder.
"You wanted to spend some time with them?" Bruce questioned, but he knew the answer. Athena nodded, and Bruce lifted her off of the chair and gave her a small hug.
"It's alright, Athena. I know what you can do."
~*~*~*~*~*~Several Weeks Later~*~*~*~*~*~
Dinah sighed in relief as she entered her home.
Being undercover in Tibet wasn't that much fun for her. Especially when it was winter and she was being followed by the Russian Mob and the what not. Tibet was supposed to be peaceful, but instead she got shot at. Not fun.
I need to call Ollie. A night out with him sounds good.
Her eyes rested on the mail that was on the table. She groaned and then made her way to the pile.
"Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill." She sighed as she looked through each envelope. "Bi- No…" she raised an eyebrow and looked at the envelope in her hand.
"Gotham, New Jersey? Who's mailing me from…" her eyes widened when she saw the word Mom written on the envelope.
She quickly opened it up, and her heart broke when she saw the 'Happy Mother's Day' Card.
And it wasn't store bought. No, it was a handmade card. And on top of that, Athena made a bracelet for her. A small simple bracelet that had the colors black, blue, and yellow braided around, but it was cute.
"Ollie can wait." She mumbled as she stood and grabbed her jacket.
~*~*~*~*~*~Elsewhere~*~*~*~*~*~
Diana was happy to be on Earth again. Being out in space made her a bit home sick.
She looked through her mail and her eyes widened when she saw the home made Mother's Day Card with a red, white, and blue bracelet.
"Athena." she said gently with a small smile, then was quickly headed out the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~In Gotham The Next Day~*~*~*~*~*~
Athena smiled happily as she held both of her mother's hands, walking to one of Dinah's favorite Japanese restaurants.
"Happy belated Mother's Day." Athena grinned and both women, hugged the girl.
Both women also wore their bracelets.
