Paxton Powers walked up the stairs to his office, things seemed a bit more peaceful after Fries was taken down and moved to Arkham, let alone Black Mask being removed from power, all of his former associates were locked up in Arkham and Blackgate prison, aside from Penguin, Cobblepot was the only one who still survived, but he was their backer, Wayne Enterprises was staying where it was thanks to him.

"Sir, I'm sorry, the meeting has already started." Lucy spoke up from her desk

"What meeting?"

She looked down as Paxton burst the door open, inside the board members were already listening to someone new…someone sitting in his chair. Paxton growled in anger as he realized that Morgan Fox was sitting in his chair.

"Morgan, I fired you."

Morgan looked up from his half-moon glasses at Paxton "You did, but I got another job…yours."

"On whose authority?"

Damian Wayne sat in the back seat of the black Rolls Royce, Victoria Queen sat beside him, their hands locked; he felt awful that she was leaving….leaving because of him. Blake warned him, told him that Batman would make it so he did lose those he cared about; he just didn't think it would be her.

"Well, Nora Fries' recovery has been sent to page one." Alfred spoke up from the driver's seat "but Black Mask's suicide made it to page nine."

Damian took the paper from the old butler and smiled when he saw the headline Former WayneTech scientist's wife makes a partial recovery. By Jack Ryder

As he began to read, the phone in his car started to ring, Alfred set it to speaker and both he and Tori stayed silent.

"Damian Wayne?" His eyes never left the paper

"What makes you think you can reappoint staff at Wayne Enterprises Damian?"

He smirked as he flipped a page "Since I'm the new owner."

"Since when?"

"Back when you blew up at me about the whole endorsing Sharp thing, I spoke to the legal division with the help of a friend of mine." He winked at Tori "turns out that my father left the ownership of the company in his will to be appointed to his first born child."

"Your father is dead."

"I am well aware of that Paxton, but my father did intend to have children, the will was updated when he first started making public appearances, but the date was recorded two years after the clean energy project's failure." Damian leaned back "look, it's all a bit technical, but the important thing is that my company's future is in good hands. Right Mister Fox?"

"Right you are Mister Wayne."

"Oh by the way Paxton, I did some digging around, turns out the large sums of our financials from WayneTech you and your associate Boyle framed Fries for were being sent to Black Mask, so you should be receiving a visitor in the next few minutes." He smiled "Consider us even." He clicked the phone off

Michael Akins and Detective Gordon entered the board room "Paxton Powers, you're under arrest for corruption and conspiracy with a convicted killer."

Paxton felt the cuffs lock around his wrists, as he looked up Morgan removed his glasses "Didn't you get the memo?"

He was dragged away as he roared in pure anger. He was escorted out of the building; everyone giving him glares and looks of surprise he was dragged to the front of the building where a cop car was sitting outside.

Akins opened the door "Have a good trip, see ya next fall."

Ferris Boyle was sitting in the seat next to him, Paxton sighed and rolled his eyes.

"How the hell did Wayne find out?" Paxton asked

"He was there when Fries got caught in the explosion." Boyle mumbled

"You freakin' idiot."

"Hey!" Gordon barked "Keep it down!"

The car began to rise with power and made its way up Main Street heading for the GCPD building.

The sounds of the airport filled his ears as Damian walked Victoria to the terminal, she checked in and he stood to the corner, he didn't want her to go, he didn't, all he wanted was to hold onto her forever and never let her go.

He held something in his and, as she walked back over to him, he quickly gripped his hand into a fist.

"Well, my plane leaves in five minutes…so I guess this is goodbye?" Tori frowned

"Don't say goodbye." Damian looked at her directly into her green eyes "If you don't say goodbye, you're not truly gone, you're just…not here right now."

She didn't have any words to say as she laced her arms around his neck and gently kissed him.

As they parted, Damian spoke up again "You do intend to come back don't you?"

She smiled "Of course, I can't leave my man behind now can I?"

He looked away "I love you." He whispered

"What did you say?" She raised an eyebrow

"I said I love you." He spoke up "I always have."

She didn't know what to say, she didn't know how she felt, these feelings she had she didn't know if they were simply because of what happened with Black Mask or if they were real.

"I love you too." She smiled back

"Then I want you to have this." He unclasped his hand

Inside was a golden key, she looked down at it, then back up at Damian then back down again.

"When you return to Gotham, I want you to feel like you have a home to come to. It's in the Palacades, far enough away from Wayne Manor, I found another cave."

"So you're moving the Batcave?"

"With things being quiet around Gotham, I think I'll have some free time coming up….maybe we can work on us?" Damian smiled

"I would like that." She took the key, clasping her hand around his and kissed him on the lips

He wanted to feel her again, just to remind him of what he was losing, he felt a lone tear slip down his cheek; Tori smiled and wiped it away.

"Now come on Damian, where's Batman? He doesn't cry."

Damian smirked "Well, you know how it goes, even scary monsters get scared."

She shook her head as she was about so speak the intercom sparked with life.

Last call for flight number three-eighteen, Gotham City to Starling City International Airport.

"That's me." Tori looked at Damian "I'll be back, I promise."

"Good." He kissed her cheek as she began to walk away toward the door

"I'd hate to have Batman not have his canary." He walked back toward the entrance

A bright light came from the GCPD's organized unit, Gordon stood at the top when a loud banging echoed into his ears, he turned and smiled gently as Batman stood beside the flood light, and the Bat symbol sat in the middle.

"Nice." Batman nodded

For Damian, standing there in his father's old armor wasn't his favorite thing in the world but he knew his old suit was destroyed but his father's would work for right now.

"I pulled it out of the archives, figured with you back…we'd need it." Gordon smiled

"Well Detective…"

"It's Lieutenant now, I got a promotion for stopping Powers and Boyle from causing anymore corruption within Gotham, not to mention my work with Black Mask's thugs." Gordon smiled "I wanted to say thank you."

Batman had turned to the other side of the roof about to jump "For what?"

"For saving my life…it's what I've wanted to talk to you for a while now…" Gordon got a bit closer "I don't know if you remember, about thirty years ago…you saved my life from almost being killed by Harvey Dent…you took a bullet for us, me and my family…"

"Gordon stop." Batman held a hand up "I'm not the man who saved you….I'm simply his successor."

"I know, somehow I've always known that you were not him, I still wanted to say thank you."

"You won't have to; just make sure Akins doesn't try to arrest me for a while." Batman nodded

Gordon nodded back as he watched Batman jump off the roof and glide into the air.

Selina Kyle stood overlooking Wayne Enterprises, a content smile sat on her face as she knew her son had done everything it could, now it was time for her to go back to where she belongs…back in the shadows.

"You're really leaving?"

She turned to Batman standing before her, she knew it was her son, even though he wore his father's armor, she could always see the little boy in a black batman shirt doing the little "tt" motion with his nose whenever he was frustrated.

"Yup…your father thinks it's time to go back."

"You know, we never did get that sparing match in." Damian smiled

"Well then kiddo, while I'm here. Let's get it done, see if the cat is in you like the bat."

Batman smiled as they began to move, their feet moved in opposite direction of each other in a circle "I always thought I was a cat with bat's wings sticking out of the back and desire for shiny objects and fighting in Kevlar with a graphite mask."

She smiled "Don't let your father tell you anything less, you are definitely our son."

Catwoman immediately went on the offensive as Batman blocked the attack, this was his life, and he was the son of a legend.

Alright, I was going to have this be a twenty-five chapter story but I decided that since the first section was so short, I decided to just add them both into one bigger chapter. I do really have to say thank you for everyone who has given this story such praise these last few months, you all are the reason why I continued to write this story and now that its done, I feel upset, but I know all good things much come to an end, but just be on the look out within the next few weeks.

And it is with great joy that I unveil my plan, I plan on doing two things, first, expect to see a Superman story coming up soon following the Man of Steel verse followed by Batman sequel, then just as big of an announcement this was at Comic-Con this past year, I plan on doing a team up of the world's finest sons and give them a fight worth fighting for followed by a Justice League story with doing a back story for each member! So stay tuned for the future stories and again, thank you all so much!
