Here's the next chapter!
For those of you who read Reuniting: sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I... um... lost my notebook. *Blushes in embarrassment* Until I find it, that story's on hold. Sorry!
Once Wally had gotten back up, and the laughter at his expense had stopped, Dick and Babs started going over more rules. Thankfully, only ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. Both Bruce and Alfred were out- business meeting and shopping, respectively- so they went to open the door. Dick peered through the peep hole and an evil smirk grew on his face. "Oh, this'll be fun."
"Who is it?" Barbara asked curiously. In answer, Dick unlatched the door and let the person in.
A tall, black haired woman walked- well, more like sauntered- in. She was wearing a tight black shirt with some yoga pants. She blinked at all of the teens. "Did Bruce do some more adopting?"
Dick laughed and hugged her. "Nope. This is the team. I told you I was going to invite them over sometime."
"Yes. You also told me that you'd tell me when, so I could meet them."
"I was gonna call you before patrol, promise."
"Ooooh, you're taking them on patrol, kitten?"
"Yup."
"I'll tell Red and Harles. Is Batgirl going to be coming?"
"Of course I am." Babs told her. "I wouldn't pass up this opportunity. They're going to get killed."
"Hmm, that won't do. I'll organize something. Harley can probably stop the Joker from interfering, if you promise that she can meet them."
"Sure. Our goal is to freak them out so much they won't ever want to come back." Dick smirked.
The woman smirked back. "Oh, where are my manners? I'm Selina, nice to meet you. Hello Artemis, nice to see you again. How's your sister?"
"Um… ok, I think." Artemis said slowly. Dick interrupted. "She's dating Arrow Head."
"Roy?" Selina looked surprised. "Huh. That's an unlikely couple."
"And you and Bruce aren't?"
"Point taken."
Artemis butted in. "Since when do you know my sister?"
"She's a cat themed villain. I make a point to meet them all. Anyway, your mother introduced us."
"Ah."
Artemis shrugged at the team's looks. "My mom knows most of the Gotham villainesses. Comes from being one of them. Pam and Harley come over for dinner sometimes."
"Really?" Barbara asked. "Why wasn't I invited?"
"They wanted to invite you, but Mom wanted to meet you first, and I couldn't exactly ask you to come over…"
"True. I'm coming next time."
"I'll send you the details."
"Red knows my ID, by the way. Just sayin', so you don't have to worry. Harley doesn't, but that's more because she doesn't really care."
Megan's eyes widened. "How many people know your IDs?"
Dick thought for a moment. "Um... you guys, duh, most of the League, Alfred, again duh, Bette-"
"Bette knows?"
"She knows about you too Artie. She's been helping us troll you, didn't you notice? Anyway, we're pretty sure the commish knows about me and Bats, but not Babs, Doctor Leslie, Lucius Fox, Selina, Ivy, Ras al Ghul, Talia al Ghul, um... I think that's it."
"So much for secret IDs. I think more people know your ID than mine!" Artemis exclaimed.
"No, pretty much every villain knows your ID 'caus of your dad." Barbara informed her. "Only a few of our know. And we're not sure about Dad, and Alfred and Leslie don't really count. Plus, only, like, 7 people in the League know."
Selina grinned. "You have to admit, Bats has been doing this for... how many years now? It's a miracle he hasn't been unmasked yet."
"He's come close." Dick mused.
"But it hasn't happened yet." Selina looked over at the team. "Why don't you guys tell me some stories about your team?"
"Sure." Dick said enthusiastically. They all sat down at the table and started swapping stories.
End of chapter. Yay!
