Chapter 18: Surprise
Bruce slowly opened his eyes and he was looking up at the ceiling of his bedroom he then turned around and he looked and saw that Willow was currently snuggling up against him and both of them were currently naked at the moment not to mention Willow had her hair down..
Bruce smiled at his wife last night both of them were in the mood and one thing lead to another it lead to the position they were in right now. Not that Bruce was complaining his wife is still very beautiful and he would spend every moment whenever he has the time not only that she really did help him when he going through some rough times in his life and he was greatful for his wife to stick by his side.
Bruce didn't plan to get married or have any kids but even he the most powerful and influential man in all of Remnant can get caught off guard by the curve ball of life. But its not like he regretted getting married or having kids because he wouldn't trade Willow or their children for anything. He then looked at the clock on the dresser and he noticed it was about six am. If was time to get up anyway due to what he Willow and Whitley were planning to do.
He separated himself from Willow and causing her stir and open her eyes she looked and saw that Bruce was got up from the bed.
"Bruce your up already?" Willow asked her husband as she slowly got up from the bed.
Bruce turned to look at his living loving wife "sorry Willow I just wanted to start getting dress soon that way we can head out to Vale a little bit early" he said.
"Oh that's right we are going to Vale early today the day before the tournament to surprise Weiss she going to be so happy to see us" Willow said with a smile.
"Either that or she going to be surprised" Bruce jokingly said.
"That's fair but overall I think she going to be glad that we are going to be their to support her this tournament is very important to her after all" Willow said.
Bruce nodded agreement "I agree even so I have full confidence that Weiss and her team can win the whole tournament" Bruce said.
"You seem confident in them dear even though you never seen them in action before" Willow noted.
Oh the irony in that statement sometimes it was funny unknown to his wife Brice knew exactly what team RWBY can do.
"Lets just say I feel that Weiss and her team are going to be just fine sweetie now would you mind picking out a suit for me while I take a shower or perhaps you like to join me" Bruce said with a bit of a smirk on his face.
Willow rolled her eyes but she smirked back at her husband.
"I rather not we don't want to waste time after all plus I'm still a bit sore from last night" she said causing Bruce to chuckle a bit
Bruce then wasted little time and he went inside the bathroom they had in their bedroom and once he was inside he grabbed a wash cloth turned on the shower and got in the shower. While Bruce was in the shower Willow got up from the bed and she went into their closet and looked at the clothes she and Bruce were going to wear the great thing was that they have already packed so they just needed to get their bags and go since the tournament last a couple of days.
But for now Willow had chosen a suit for her husband she chose a dark blue suit and he also gotten her outfit as well. After a couple of minutes it wasn't long until the shower was turned off and Bruce opened the door and he was only wearing a towel.
"Decided to go with the blue suit" Bruce said to Willow as he saw her with the suit.
"Yeah I thought why not we match today since most of the time you wear black" Willow said.
"That's fair enough why don't you go ahead and take your shower I'll get dressed and in be in my office and I'll see if Whitley is ready" Bruce said.
"Alright dear I'll see you in a bit" Willow said as she went up and gave her husband a quick kiss once she did she set her outfit to the side and went into the bathroom and turned on the shower.
Once Willow was on the shower Bruce wasted little time and he has put on his blue suit once he did he left his room and went straight towards his office since their was something he needed to do.
Once his way to his office he ran into Alfred.
"Ah Master Bruce good morning sir may I ask where your heading?" Alfred asked Bruce.
"I'm just heading straight towards the office keep an eye on things until I come out" Bruce said.
Alfred understood what Bruce ment and simply nodded "of course sir" Alfred said after that Bruce made his way into his office once he did he pushed a button at the bottom of his desk and the large book case behind his desk opened up leading towards the underground tunnel once he did he went inside the tunnel and walked down some stairs and once he did the lights were turned on he looked to the side and he saw the different Bat suits in cases including his original one.
He opened the glass case towards his original one and pulled it out and once he did he took off his suit and set it aside and once he did he put on his usual bat suit and then he put on his blue suit back on. Bruce put on the bat suit in case something happens at the tournament anything could go wrong so he must be ready at any times plus it was a good thing he had a button that can pull his cape up or that would have been a problem. He then grabbed a big suitcase for the batsuit.
Once he was finished Bruce then went back into his office and the bookcase went back onto its usual spot. Once Bruce left his office with the suitcase in hand he saw Alfred who was by his door.
"Are you finished getting dressed sir?" Alfred asked.
"Yes Alfred make sure this suitcase gets to the plane I need it to contain my suit" Bruce said.
"Of course sir but are you sure its necessary to wear your suit during the tournament giving how security is going to be" Alfred said.
"I can't get to relax Alfred plus their a chance I might have to talk to Torcwhick and there could be an attack at anytime" Batman said.
"I understand sir I will get this onto the plane unseen" Alfred said as he grabbed the suitcase and left the area.
Bruce then made his way towards Whitley room and he knocked on the door.
"Yes" Whitley called out.
"Its me son are you ready to go" Bruce called out to his son.
"Yes father I'm pretty much ready hold on" Whitley said.
After about a minute or two it wasn't long until Whitley had came out of the room and he was dragging a suitcase along and Bruce looked at his was wearing his usual blue vest and white dress shirt and black tie. But Bruce noticed something different about his son that he noticed for sometime.
Whitley who is usually bit short in fact he was just as tall as Weiss but now he grew a few inches if Bruce has to guess Whitley was about five foot five now and not only that and while his hair was comb neatly he could tell his hair was getting a bit longer as well. Bruce realized just like Weiss Whitley was growing up as well.
"Father is something the matter your spacing out for some reason" Whitley said.
"Its nothing Whitley it looks like your packed and ready to go" Bruce noted.
"Of course I didn't want to waste anytime since we were heading to Vale I want to see what its like not to mention I want to see Weiss and maybe Winter as well" Whitley said.
"You really miss your sisters a lot do you son?" Bruce asked..
"I must admit it does get a bit lonely without them I can't but feel I gotten left behind while they are following their own paths in life" Whitley said.
Bruce put a hand on his son "Whitley your sisters love you very much even though they are following their goals and are ahead doesn't mean you won't catch up soon I know you will figure out what else that you want to do besides taking over the company once I retire" Bruce said.
Whitley smiled "thank you father I feel so much better" he said.
"Anytime son now come on lets go and see if your mother is ready" Bruce said after that Bruce and Whitley went towards Bruce and Willow bedroom and as they were walking Bruce couldn't help but look at Whitley. When he wasn't busy from work he taught all three of his children the in and outs of the company and other things and out of all of his children base on intelligence Whitley is probably the smartest one. Whitley did inherited Bruce intelligence and with proper training Whitley could be more foriable then his sisters.
A part of Bruce wants to Whitley everything about him being Batman and training him until one of these days he could maybe take his place. But at the same time he doesn't want his son to get involved in the battles ahead. Bruce wants his son to have a normal life after all he did say he didn't like fighting that much but it seems like he was interested in the tournament. Bruce can't really worried about that now he will deal with Whitley when the time comes.
Once Bruce and Whitley made it towards the front of his and Willow room the door opened up and Willow came out of the room with a few of her bags. She was wearing a blue vest with a white dress shirt underneath and blue pants and heels.
Willow looked and saw Bruce and Whitley "ah you two are already here that's great Bruce you need to go get your bags so we can go" Willow said.
Bruce nodded as he went to get his bags as well and once he did the family of three had made it towards the front where a large plane was sitting at the front and a few servants were outside along with Alfred and Klien.
The servants then gotten their belongings and put them inside of the plane and the family wanted to talk with Alfred and Klein before they leave.
"Klein,Alfred we are leaving you in charge of the house while we are gone" Willow said.
"Of course madam we won't let any thieves break into this house!" Klein said as his eyes turned red while Alfred sighed.
"We will handle things over here please give Madam Weiss our hello and tell her we will be cheering her on in the tournament" Alfred said.
"We will Alfred" Whitley said with a smile on his face.
"Well we should get going we will see you when we get back Alfred Klein" Bruce said after that the Wayne-Schnee family had went inside of the plane and once they did the plane lifted slowly until it was way up in the air and once it was up in the air the plane quickly took off until they were making their way towards Vale.
It was on the plane where the family had gotten some food and they spent their time talking and watching movies together. After about a couple of hours it wasn't long until Bruce Whitley and Willow had made their way towards Vale at the airport. Bruce had called a limo for them to take them to the hotel they were staying in.
It didn't take that long to get the hotel once they got towards the hotel they checked into the hotel and went inside the room where they would be sharing in put their bags inside the room and left as they went outside of the hotel.
"Wow it seems that everyone here is excited for the Vytal festival" Whitley said.
"I agree there is so many things going on all at once" Willow said.
"Well its no surprise the Vytal festival is one of the biggest events in all of Remnant" Bruce said.
"That's true I remember the couple of times where Atlas had hosted the tournament father was always so excited whenever Atlas would host the tournament" Willow said.
"Yeah I remember even though he couldn't be a huntsman he would still admire and apperciate what the huntsman and Huntresses do for us as a society" Bruce said.
"No doubt grandfather would be excited to see Weiss in the tournament if he was still with us but anyway father I'm guessing we will be walking to Beacon?" Whitley asked.
"Yes since we are not that far from Beacon it would be easier for us to just walk over there" Bruce replied.
"But we don't even know where Weiss and her team are staying at" Willow said.
"Don't worry dear when we get to the campus we will ask around come on lets go" Bruce said.
After that Whitley Willow and Bruce had left the hotel and started to make their way towards Beacon and the walk over there wasn't bad at all. A lot of people were busy because of the Vytal festival their wasn't anybody who really went up to them because of who they were so it was a nice change of pace from getting hounded by the media and other people every now and then..
About fifteen minutes later it didn't take that long for Willow Bruce and Whitley to arrive at Beacon
"So this is Beacon its a lot bigger in person then on TV or in the books" Whitley said.
"I agree it different then Atlas Academy I can see just a little bit why the best huntsman and huntress attend this school in particular" Willow said.
Bruce obviously agreed since he had seen some of the teachers in action and they do a really great job in teaching the students on how to be better huntsman and huntress.
."Yeah Beacon sure do look amazing but we should probably ask somebody where the student dorms are and where Weiss is staying at" Bruce said.
Bruce Whitley and Willow walked around campus and they asked some students where the dorm room was and they were nice enough to point out where the dorm rooms were and even where team RWBY was although Bruce had to sign some autographs from the girl students and luckily they didn't notice Willow glaring daggers at them.
After that it wasn't long until Bruce Willow and Whitley had arrived to the front of team RWBY door.
"Well here goes nothing" Bruce said as he knocked on the door a few times.
"Who the hell could that be Weiss Blake could either of you get the door" a voice said which Bruce recongized as Yang's voice.
"I'm kind of reading right now maybe Weiss can get it" a voice which Bruce knew it was Blake said.
"Ugh fine I will get the door" Weiss grumbled Bruce Willow and Whitley had heard footsteps and the door opened revealing Weiss.
"Yes is there" Weiss stopped as she looked and saw that her family was right outside her dorm room she couldn't believe it her jaw dropped and her eyes widen.
"Mother...Father...Whitley" Weiss said shocked to see the three of them there.
"Well I guess she is surprise to see us" Whitley chuckled but once Weiss got over shocked she quickly ran up to her mother and gave her a big hug.
Willow smiled and hugged her daughter "hey sweetie I hope you liked our little surprise" Willow said.
Weiss separated herself from her mother and she took some time to gather herself and she wiped her eyes and she smiled at her family.
"It is certainly a surprise mother but what are you guys doing here?" Weiss asked.
"We actually wanted to surprise you that we came here to cheer you on for the tournament" Willow said.
"Really?" Weiss said as Bruce walked up to his daughter.
"Of course we know how important the tournament is to you and how hard you trained for this moment it would be foolish of us to not come and support you and your team" Bruce said.
"So try not to loose Weiss" Whitley said.
"Please Whitley I won't lose not when mother and father are watching hmm" Weiss said as she looked at her brother.
"Is something wrong?" Whitley asked.
"You gotten taller and your hair gotten a bit longer as well" Weiss said.
"Well I guess I been growing a little but since you been gone Weiss its not surprising" Whitley said as he shrugged a bit.
"Yeah your taller then me now" Weiss thought she has some feelings about her younger brother bring taller then her now but besides that Whitley was the same as he always been.
"Well Weiss are you going to let us inside of your room and introduce us to your friends who standing right at the doorway" Willow said as she pointed at Blake and Yang who hid when Willow spotted them.
"Oh right well come on in you guys" Weiss said as she and the and the rest of her family went inside team RWBY's dorm room.
Once they went inside the room both Willow and Whitley looked around the room "um pardon me but why is your beds tied up like that?" Whitley asked.
"Oh that...well we couldn't fit all of our stuff here so we had to turn our beds into bunk beds so that we can have more room" Weiss said.
"That makes sense this room is smaller then I thought it would be" Willow said.
"But the way they set it up mother I'm surprised none of the beds have collapsed by now" Whitley said.
"Yeah but we managed to make it work so no harm no foul" Yang said as she smiled.
"Anyway mother father Whitley this is Yang and Blake they are my teammates and friends" Weiss said.
"Its a pleasure to meet you two Weiss had told us a lot of about you" Willow said as she went and shook Blake and Weiss hand.
"Good things I hope" Yang laughed causing Weiss to roll her eyes.
"Don't worry dear Weiss said a lot of good things about you your as energetic as she says you are" Willow said.
"Nice to know I made a great impression on you Weiss" Yang said.
"Oh hush Yang" Weiss said.
"Its a pleasure to meet you and its a honor to meet you your work in the faunus community is nothing sort of extrodinary" Blake said as she smiled and shook Bruce's hand.
"Thank you Blake I just do my best to help any people in need weather they are human or faunus at the end of the day we are all just trying to live our lives to the fullest everybody should be treated fairy and race should not play a factor in it" Bruce said causing Blake and everybody else in the room to smile at Bruce words.
"So your Weiss little brother huh its nice to meet you" Yang said.
"Likewise its nice to meet my sister friends and teammates I hope you guys do well in the tournament tomorrow" Whitley said.
"Thanks but we are going to kick butt no sweat" Yang said while Blake simply nodded.
"It seems we have one person missing though" Willow said.
"Yes that's right Weiss where is Ruby I actually wanted to meet your team leader" Bruce said.
"Oh if your looking for Ruby she actually not here she went back to Patch to visit our dad before the tournament but she will be back tomorrow when the tournament starts" Yang said.
"Oh really well I guess we will have to meet her tomorrow" Willow said.
"So Weiss since we are here and why don't we go out to dinner together and catch up your friends can even join us if they want" Willow said.
Yang and Blake looked at each before looking back at the Wayne-Schnee family.
"We appreciate the offer" Blake said.
"But we'll pass you got plenty of time to talk to us during and after the tournament besides you guys haven't seen each other for awhile right you should use this time to catch up" Yang said.
"Ok then I guess its settled Weiss I'm sure you know a place for us to have lunch at" Bruce said to his daughter.
"Of course father you can leave everything to me" Weiss said as she started to leave with the rest of her family following her but before she left she turned to look back at Yang and Blake.
"I'll see you two when I get back" Weiss said to her friends and teammates.
"Yeah see you Weiss you guys have fun" Yang said as she waved while Blake silently nodded.
After that Weiss Bruce Willow and Whitley had left the dorm room and to find a place where they can have lunch at. About a couple of minutes later Weiss had took her family into one of her favorite restaurants in Vale it was a nice and fancy restaurant and she was sure her family would love it.
Currently the Wayne-Schnee family were sitting outside at the restaurant sitting on some chairs at a round table Weiss and Whitley was sitting on one side while Bruce and Willow was sitting on the other
The four of them currently had four cups of coffee on the table as the waiter served it to them and they ordered their food so they were currently talking until their food arrived.
"This is a lovely restaurant dear I can see why you would come hear" Willow said as she took a sip of her coffee.
"Yes whenever I have time on weekends I usually like to come here for lunch I even bring the rest of my team here from time to time" Weiss replied.
"Speaking of them, Yang and Blake were exactly how you described them energetic,without a care. in the world, goes with the motions ,while one is calm doesn't speak much and is a bit anti social" Whitley said..
"Yeah but honestly I gotten use to Yang and Blake personality traits especially Yang with her terrible puns and Ruby with her love of sweets" Weiss said as she sighed a bit but she was smiling Whitley could tell that his sister truly loved and cared about her friends.
"Well I can tell they are good girls I can't wait to meet Ruby from what you describe her she sounds so sweet cute and adorable" Willow said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah Ruby is something mother during the semester I can see why Ozpin chose her as team leader she represent what it truly means to be huntress and I'm happy to be her friend and partner" Weiss said.
"It seems Ruby left quite a impression on you Weiss" Bruce said with a smile.
"She has father I guess I gotten a lot stronger and became a better person because of her although I still have to keep her in line from time to time" Weiss said.
"Isn't that what partners are for" Whitley said.
"Yeah you have a point Whitley" Weiss said.
"By the way Weiss how your training with your summons going?" Bruce asked.
"That's right I forgot that you mentioned you were still having troblue trying to summon the things you defeated" Whitley said.
Weiss sighed "yeah and its frustrating I can only summon like small objects of parts so far if I had better mastery over summoning our chances of winning the tournament increases" Weiss said.
"Sweetheart you shouldn't get discouraged" Willow said.
"Your mother right Weiss remember Winter had the exact same problem when she was your age and it took about a year or so to fully master summoning just keep training and you will get it down back in no time" Bruce said.
"So just relax you their no need to rush progress" Whitley said..
Weiss smiled "thank you everyone" she said.
"Speaking of Winter she better at least be here at least for a little bit" Willow said.
"I'm sure she will be dear since James and the military are running security for the festival" Bruce said.
"If she doesn't I'm going to force James to have her come to Vale this instant" Willow said.
"Now Willow you know you can't bother James with something like that and Winter might be on a important a mission" Bruce said as he tried to reason with his wife.
"I don't care I just want to see my baby" Willow stubbornly said.
Whitley and Weiss chuckled as they saw their parents argued while they would like to see their older sister again they understand the reasons on why she can't be here and for Weiss as long as Winter was watching her on TV then that was enough.
About a couple of minutes later the waiter had brought out their food and once he did the family began to eat their food and talk some more. Once they were finished with their food Bruce had paid for all of their meals and they left the restaurant.
"So is there anything you all want to do I can show you around Vale and we can check out the town and festival and maybe do some activities" Weiss said to her family..
"I don't mind that actually I want to see what Vale is like its not to often that we leave Atlas wouldn't you agree mother" Whitley said.
"Yes Bruce is the only one who really travels but that's because of work so I think its a excellent idea to show us around the kingdom" Willow said.
"Even if I did say no your mother and brother out voted me so lead the way Weiss" Bruce said to the middle child of his kids.
"I understand lets start with the shopping district" Weiss said as she and the rest of her family had went and check out the a couple of hours Weiss showed them around the town and since the festival has started they did some cool activities together and for Weiss she didn't really think about the tournament at all or her problem with summoning she just wanted to enjoy this moment with her family who came to support her.
Later on it was night time and the Wayne-Schnee family were back at Beacon and they were saying their goodbyes to Weiss for now since she has to get ready for the tournament tomorrow.
"I had a really great time you guys and thank you for coming it really means a lot" Weiss said.
"Sweetie you know we wouldn't miss this for the world" Willow said with a smile.
"Your mother right not after how much you trained so hard it would be dumb of us not to come and see how much you truly grown as a person and huntress" Bruce said with a smile but he already knows how much Weiss as grown already.
"So the best you can do is to try to not loose sister" Whitley said in a joking like tone.
Weiss smiled she then went up to hugged her father who hugged her back and then to her mother and finally to her brother.
After Weiss did that she backed away from them.
"Well I better get going big day tomorrow" Weiss said.
"Good night Weiss" Willow said.
"Tell Blake and Yang that we are rooting for them as well" Bruce said.
"And that they better not loose as well" Whitley said.
Weiss chuckled "Of course we won't lose Team RWBY is going to win the Vytal festival" Weiss said as she had a confident look on her face.
After one final goodbye Weiss headed back towards her room while Bruce Willow and Whitley went back to their hotel as they can't wait to see how the tournament shapes up tomorrow.
