Gordan had been asked to tell Alex about her mother's will after the funeral, and the commissioner had almost declined.
The fifteen year old had finally broken down and mourned her mother's death, and hadn't been given enough time to pull herself back together.
Bruce had managed to console her, and the blonde had insisted upon hearing what her mother had wanted.
The commissioner sat at his desk heavily, looking at the papers before him carefully as Alex fiddled with her hat.
"…Rachel Dawes asked that, should anything happen to her, she wanted to leave you in the custody of your biological father."
The blonde looked up in confusion, along with the billionaire sitting beside her.
"But mom said my biological father was dead…"
"She told me the same."
"She said to do a paternity test…Starting with you, Mr. Wayne."
More confusion, but both agreed, and Gordan had his lab assistants take swab samples and do the test as quickly as possible.
They didn't have to wait long, and the scientist came back and whispered the result to Gordan, who sighed.
"…It seems that Rachel has been keeping a secret from us all…"
"What?"
Alex had been too fidgety to catch the words, and jumped up and down.
"…Bruce Wayne, it seems you're Alex's biological father."
Silence…
Wide blue eyes blinked at the commissioner before turning to the equally surprised man beside her…
"WHOA…"
"Yeah…whoa…"
After thinking it over, a smile spread across Alex's face…
"Well, I don't see a problem with it!"
Reassured by her eager acceptance, Bruce smiled.
He wasn't sure how good of a father he'd be, but considering this was Alex, he'd try.
He'd try…
