It has been two years, and a twenty-year-old Tim couldn't be happier as he walked incognito with his girl- with his fiancée, Serena. Serena and he were having a date out in the late morning/early afternoon, looking through all the bridal and groom shops along the way. Tim was also happy to find a Japanese restaurant along their walk. He knew that his Serena missed some of her Japanese cultural foods. So, he didn't hesitate to steer Serena into the restaurant, requesting them to be in the far back room for some privacy. He, however, didn't expect for anyone, especially some of his brothers, to recognize him in his walk and following him. "I wonder who that girl is with Timbers," said a tall, black haired man, Dick Grayson.

"And why did he go to a subpar restaurant if this was to romance a new amour," said a short, black haired teen, Damian Wayne.

"I don't know about you," said the last male, Jason Todd, "But, I am going to go in there and see who this girl is."

"I'll come with you too," said Dick.

"Tch," sounded Damien but followed as well.

It was weird that today, all three former? brothers of Tim were hanging out with one another. It was weird to see Tim hand-in-hand with a girl when he was supposed to be in a Wayne meeting. Apparently, they did not get the memo that Tim Drake repealed Bruce's adoption and the name of Wayne when he got back from his time in Japan and saving Bruce within the time stream. Damian had a glare as he looked around the establishment before following Jason and Dick to another secluded part of the restaurant and about three tables away from Tim and this girl. They sat down and opened their menus, trying to be discreet in listening to their conversation. It was a good thing that Tim was absorbed by this girl, as he didn't notice them coming in. How wrong the three were…

- With Tim –

"Ugh," groaned out Tim whose head was between Serena's shoulder and neck.

"Something wrong," questioned Serena.

"My so-called brothers came into the restaurant," said Tim.

"Are you sure," questioned Serena.

"Maybe," said Tim, "But, if I know them, they recognized me and followed."

Serena giggled a bit as she rubbed Tim's left shoulder a bit before turning back to the menu. The two decided to sit next to each other instead of across from one another so they could discuss the guest list for their wedding. Of course, they weren't going to get married just yet since they were still in college, having a bit more left to go before graduation. Serena always thanked Tim for their fast college graduation every single time they passed a class of theirs. She knew that between being CEO of Drake Industries, a vigilante known as Red Robin, and being a college student took its toll on Tim. She was just happy that he wasn't leaving her in the clutches of college by her lonesome, though. Ordering their food, the two decided to look through the guest list for their wedding. "Is it alright to even talk about the guest list when your brothers could be listening in," questioned Serena.

"Do you want them to know about you," questioned Tim, "We could wait as we walk to do the guest list."

"Nah," said Serena, "I'm sure that if worst comes to worst, my Senshi and I will have to henshin, same with most of these guests."

"But, that's going to expose you," said Tim.

"Better than something evil destroying Earth," said Serena shrugging.

Tim frowned a bit, but didn't comment on it. He knew that Serena had a duty to save the world from magical types of monsters, but he still didn't like it. Tim was just happy to know that he also now had magical powers to help Serena if there were new evil magical ones, like the Youmas Serena sometimes had to teleport to for dusting. He still couldn't believe Serena would call what she did to the Youmas dusting though. Tim smiled a bit though because he knew that if worst came to worst and Serena transformed in front of his family, he knew Serena trusted them to NOT ousted her to the media. "Besides," said Serena, "If you trust them, then I'll trust them."

"Arigatō," said Tim with a smile on his face, "Now, about this guest list."

"Definitely the Senshi," said Serena, "Haruka would hunt you down if we didn't invite her."

"She still scares me," said Tim with a shudder.

"She's just overprotective," said Serena.

"Serena," said Tim deadpanned, "She interrogated me with her Space Sword."

"Ehehe," giggled Serena nervously, "I forgot about that."

- With The Brothers –

Dick, Jason, and Damian were unsure what the couple was saying due to not knowing just who Serena was, but they were very curious. They wondered who this Haruka person was if she had a SWORD of all things and threatening their brother with it. Jason knew that he would want to have words with this Haruka, but since he didn't know who that person was, he had to wait to find out information about this person. The brothers already ordered their own lunches as they continued to eavesdrop on the couple three tables down. "Are you also inviting… Seiya," asked Tim with a grumble.

"You're STILL jealous over Seiya," questioned Serena with a smile.

"Seiya should keep their arms to themselves," said Tim with a frown.

"Seiya's just being friendly," said Serena.

"Seiya was flirting with you," said Tim.

They could hear the jealousy that Tim had in his tone, but they still didn't understand what this list was for. Mostly, Tim was asking about this Serena's friends coming to whatever Tim and Serena were making. It wasn't long that their lunches were placed in front of them that they started to eat while listening. They could see Tim ordered one of the Japanese curry while Serena ordered a bento box. It wasn't long to see Tim stealing some of Serena's sushi that they could see how happy Tim was with this Serena girl. Though, it wasn't long that the couple went back to their list. "Is Alfred coming," questioned Serena.

"Our Alfred," muttered Jason confused.

"Definitely," said Tim, "Alfred should be able to see me get married."

"Married," hissed out Dick in shock.

"We are also having Kon, Bart, and Cassie, ne," questioned Serena.

"Yup," said Tim, "And probably Duke if it doesn't clash with the daytime patrol."

"Bruce," questioned Serena.

"I have mixed feelings about him," said Tim, "Along with the others. I don't even think they know about…"

"But," said Serena, "You have been within that family for a long time. Do you really don't want them there on your special day?"

"Hm," hummed Tim, "We'll see. Besides, I know Dick, Jason, and Damian knows about it now."

As Tim said the brothers' names, they knew that they were caught, yet they couldn't move as they watched Tim pay for Serena and his lunches before walking out with Serena, his arm around Serena's shoulders. Damian narrowed his eyes as the two walked away. He never knew that Tim hid his amour from the family. How long had Tim hid Serena from them anyways for the two to be engaged already? Jason was not much better as he frowned harder. He knew that he and Tim didn't have the best relationship with each other, but he thought they were getting better. Jason turned to Dick to see Dick having his hands over his face in grief. Dick, on his part, couldn't even recall when the last time he hung out with Tim one on one was. "We definitely screwed up somewhere," said Jason.

"I thought we were alright once Bruce came back," said Dick.

"How long has it been to see Tim around the manor," asked Jason.

"I… I don't know," said Dick.

"It seems we have something to tell father," said Damian.

"I guess," said Dick.

- With Tim –

"Are you alright," questioned Serena.

"I'll be fine," said Tim who smiled at Serena.

He knew that it was two years a bit too late to have a very close relationship with the Waynes, but who wouldn't say it was too late? He became that one estranged relative that still had good relations with SOME of the people, like Alfred. Alfred always made things better, despite cutting him off from coffee. Well, Alfred didn't have to worry about that when Serena was the one who cut some of his coffee intake off from his life since they live together. He was also in good relations with Duke, otherwise known as the Signal. For now, he was going to enjoy his day off from Drake Industries to spend time with his fiancée. He was just really glad that Serena has been with him throughout everything else after they moved to America for college. "Are you sure," questioned Serena.

"Sere, my moonlight," said Tim, "I am sure. So, please stop worrying and worry more about what to do for our marriage."

"I can't help it," said Serena, "I love you too much to see you in this emotional pain."

"I know," said Tim, "And that's another reason why I love you. You are just so kind and caring to everyone, but trust me, I will be fine."

"Alright," said Serena.

"Now, quit pouting," said Tim, "Let's see who else we will be inviting."

Serena nodded her head as Tim and she started their guest list once more. She knew that Tim, after two years, still felt hope that he could reconnect with most of the Waynes, especially with Dick and Jason. She, however, also knew that communication is a two-way street. If the Waynes weren't going to communicate, then Tim wouldn't either. It was already hard to make Tim communicate with her most times, but he got better at it. It did help that Serena was more emotional of the two, making Tim try to communicate with her on how he felt. Tiptoeing up, Serena placed a kiss on Tim's cheek before smiling up at him. "What's that for," questioned Tim.

"I'm just happy to be with you," said Serena, "You even came a long way with communicating in a relationship."

"Ugh," groaned out Tim, "Communication is STILL my antithesis."

"You'll live," giggled Serena.

"Will you be alright with Stephanie coming," questioned Tim who brought the couple back to the list.

"Why wouldn't I be," questioned Serena, "She's your ex, and I know that you only have eyes on me now."

Tim chuckled as he shook his head mentally. He didn't know why he would ask that when Serena was now confident about his love for her. He knew that it took a while for their relationship to work, what with trying to find Bruce in the time stream and communicating with Serena about his feelings. He also knew that he loved that Serena finally had the self-esteem that she should have before being a bit torn down by the Inner Senshi for all her faults. When he found out about that, he actually went off on them after being introduced to them in Japan. That actually brought good points for Haruka, even if she did threaten him when she found out about Serena and him dating. "Then, we can add her and Cass to the list," said Tim before another thought came in, "Also should add Babs in there too."

"Babs," questioned Serena.

"Barbara Gordon," said Tim, "She was the first Batgirl before becoming Oracle."

"Gotcha," said Serena, "What about this Cass?"

"Cassandra Cain," said Tim, "She's Orphan."

- One Night: Wayne Gala –

"Do you see Timmy," questioned Jason.

"Not yet," said Dick.

When Dick, Jason, and Damian came back to the manor, Duke, Cassandra, and Stephanie were sitting around the dinner table and doing some college work. Even Barbara was in physical attendance for once as she sat in her wheelchair while helping Duke with his work. As the three came into the dining room, four pairs of eyes stared at the three and knew that something was up. They could see Dick in despair as the other three sat with the rest of their families. It wasn't until Damian told them that Tim has a fiancée that everything descended into chaos. It wasn't until Alfred told them to leave Tim alone and that he will tell them when Tim is ready. It didn't help that there were still patrols, but Tim as Red Robin would only talk all business-like to the family instead of the familiar family chattering. Now, everyone was at a Wayne Gala after Tim's revelation on having a fiancée and waiting for Tim to appear. "When is that Inferior showing up with his amour," questioned Damian in distaste, "I need to see if his amour is brainwashed into like that buffoon."

"Now, that is just rude coming from a little guy like you," said an unknown voice.

"Now, 'Ruka-koi," said another unknown, "Don't be rude. We are here to watch out for our hime and our shin ōji (new prince)."

"That is true, Haruka-papa," said another unknown, "Besides, what would hime say to you bullying a little child."

"I am NOT a child," snided Damian.

"Could have fooled me," said the first unknown, "Oh look. There's hime."

"Kirei (beautiful)," said the third unknown, "Let's go greet her!"

"Of course, Firefly," said the second unknown, "Come along, 'Ruka-koi."

"Hai, hai," said the first unknown.

When three unknowns snuck up on the Wayne brothers, the three brothers were surprised before turning around to see three people, two dressed elegantly while one was dressed in a sharp tuxedo. They wondered how they could have snuck up on them, but they couldn't really say anything besides Damian commenting back on probably the female teen with the couple. They saw the three depart from them as Dick was murmuring the word Haruka, trying to figure out why that word was familiar. They were surprised to trail the three with their eyes with the one person they were trying to find: Timothy Drake. Dick took his phone out and sent a text about how they found Tim before the three Wayne brothers walked towards the group. "Nice to see you too, Haruka," said Tim wearily.

"You taking good care of our hime, ōjisama," questioned the first unknown Haruka.

"Don't call me that," said Tim with a disgust face on.

"If you are marrying our hime," said the second unknown, "Then, you are our ōji."

"But, it's so formal, Michiru," whined Tim.

"So much like hime," giggled the third unknown.

"Hotaru," said Serena in mocked horror.

"Gomen, gomen," said the third unknown, Hotaru.

"Are you also here on business," questioned Tim who was now curious why the three were here.

"Of course," said the second unknown, Michiru, "Mr. Bruce Wayne invited me for a short concert for the gala."

"We are just walking around before we take our places," said Haruka.

As the group still talked to one another, Dick couldn't actually call upon Tim before a wild Stephanie appeared, jumping onto Tim's back. Serena and the other three blinked in surprise while Tim just sighed in exasperation. Clearly Stephanie wasn't alone as Barbara came up to them with Cassandra pushing her wheelchair from the back. Duke was also blinking rapidly as he stared at the four people that Dick didn't know. As the brothers came closer, they could hear Tim telling Stephanie to get off of him. "Tim," said Stephanie as she glomped him from behind.

"Get off of me, Steph," groaned out Tim, "You're heavy!"

"LeGasp," gasped out Stephanie, "I am NOT heavy!"

"Sure you aren't," said Barbara with a smirk, "You glutton."

"You also take that back," said Stephanie as she got off of Tim and pointed at Barbara.

Tim sighed in exasperation as he quickly went to Serena and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. He knew they were being playful, but he also knew that he was a bit uncomfortable around the Waynes, adopted or not. He was just not used to them anymore, especially after two years and still no apology. If he was true to himself, he was mostly comfortable around Alfred and Duke, Barbara coming a close second. Everyone else had something else to do during the whole Bruce-lost-in-time incident, but them not believing in his skills was just a low blow to him. He was just glad for Serena and the help of Setsuna that everything was semi-normal, even if he was distant from everyone. "So, a little birdie told us that you are getting married," said Duke awkwardly.

"Huh," said Serena, "You were right about them talking to the others about that, love."

"You doubt me," mocked Tim.

"Īe," said Serena teasingly, "Not at all."

"Tease," muttered Tim before looking back at Duke, "Yes, I am getting married to this lovely lady right next to me."

"Hello," said a smiling Serena, "I'm Serena Tsukino."

"Duke Thomas," said Duke, "Did you know that you have a very bright aura."

"I would hope so," said Tim, "She's my moonlight."

Duke smiled at Tim at his proclamation. He felt as though Tim and Serena knew what kind of aura Serena has as an after image of someone that looked like a princess with an upturn crescent moon on her forehead. Tim, on his part, braced himself for the questions that the girls, the Batgirls, were going to throw his way. He was just glad that before they could, it was time for dinner for everyone involved in the gala. He was just surprised to find Duke at their table with Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru. "So, Duke," said Tim, "How's school going?"

"School is going fine," said Duke, "Freshman year in college isn't so bad."

"Not until you get to the higher learning that is," said Tim with a smile, "But, I am glad that you are doing alright. If you need any help, I'm just a phone call away."

"And," piped up Serena who gave an envelope to Duke, "We hope that you can squeeze into your schedule for our marriage?"

"Y-You're inviting me," questioned Duke.

"Of course," said Tim.

"And the others," questioned Duke.

Tim stayed silent at Duke's question. He was still unsure about inviting the others. Serena squeezed his hand in comfort as she answered for Tim. Duke, on his part, nodded his head at Serena's explanation about the list not being finalized yet. Duke was just one of many that were invited earlier than most. So, throughout the gala, Duke got to know Serena and her three friends very well. He was surprised to find silhouettes around the other three people as well, including finding out that Haruka was indeed a girl. Yet, Tim was finally cornered by the other Waynes while he went to give Alfred his invite, Duke being pinged in the group chat to get his butt into one of the study rooms.

- With Tim –

"So, Replacement" said Jason, "When were you going to introduce your fiancée to us?"

"Fiancée," questioned Bruce.

Tim didn't know how, but when he was trying to look for Alfred, Jason and Stephanie both tackled him into a study room where Dick, Barbara, and Cassandra were quick to follow. Bruce followed when Damian dragged him into the study room, Damian locking the room so that Tim couldn't escape. Bruce blinked as he saw Tim being dog-piled amongst his other sons and daughters. He was still sad that Tim wasn't his son anymore, but that didn't mean he didn't care. So, when Jason asked Tim a question about a fiancée, Bruce perked up since it seemed as though Tim found love despite being a vigilante. "Did you bring her to the gala, Tim," questioned Bruce.

"Yes," said Tim, "I am in a relationship, and yes she is here."

"You should introduce her to us," said Dick, "Since, you know, you haven't introduced us before."

"I wonder why," muttered Tim to himself.

"New sister," signed Cassandra.

That question that was signed by Cassandra made the others murmur to each other. Tim looked at Bruce for a moment before sighing. He knew it. Bruce did NOT tell the others that he wasn't their brother anymore. Somehow, he felt like this was karma for not communicating with the others. Tim blinked when he heard knocking at the door before hearing Duke at the door wondering why Tim was held to the ground. "Timbo is being punished for not telling us about his girlfriend, now fiancée," said Jason.

"I… think it's more complicated than that," said Duke.

"What do you mean," asked Barbara.

"He means," said Tim before Duke could actually say something about Serena's identity, "That I haven't been your brother for two years!"

"Say what," screeched out Dick.

"Whatchu talking about," questioned Stephanie, hands on her hips.

"The adoption," said Tim slowly, "Was repealed when I became eighteen and in college."

It was there that everyone finally got off of Tim in shock. Dick sat on the floor, his mouth mouthing the word no over and over again. Jason stared at Tim in surprise because he was sure he would be the only one that would desert the Wayne last name, even IF he thought the other people were his siblings. Damian, on his part, was smirking to himself because he finally got rid of, in his mind, a nuisance to his family. He was the only blood son and was far superior than Tim. However, a slight feeling of sadness was also felt within his heart, which made him also frown at that feeling. He never felt that feeling before and was curious about it. Duke, on the other hand, was looking a bit sad at that. He could tell that Tim still wanted to be a part of the family, but being away from the family for two years… Duke knew that there was something going on despite his good relationship with Tim. "Why have we not heard about this," questioned Barbara.

"Bruce didn't tell you," questioned Tim.

"Bruce," shouted Dick.

"I didn't want you all to feel bad," said Bruce.

"And it's not his fault," said Tim before confessing, "I haven't felt like part of the family in a long time."

"What," questioned everyone, besides Bruce and Duke.

"Well," said Tim, "Damian still keeps on trying to kill me. Jason keeps on calling me names that I don't appreciate. Dick took away Robin from me when Bruce was lost in time…"

"He what," questioned Bruce with a frown.

"… And when Bruce came back, everyone else just kind of pushed me away," said Tim, "Except for Alfie and Duke. Those two are the best."

"But," started Dick.

"But the thing that really made me feel like an outsider was when everyone doubted my skills and how I was the one who told you all that Bruce was still alive, just lost in time," said Tim, "And don't get me started on how no one apologized."

Bruce frowned more at Tim's confession. He was sadden that it came to this for everyone to realize Tim didn't feel like he belonged. He thought that Tim wanted to be more independent from the Wayne name and go back to being a Drake. But, hearing what happened to Tim and NO one fixing it, besides Duke and Alfred, he felt like a failure. Tim, on his part, could see the different emotions around his former? family. He really wished Serena was with him because he was becoming anxious just being stared at. "No, no," said Dick, "Baby bird… Timmy… I am so sorry about doubting you."

"Though, you have to admit that it was bad timing for theories," muttered Jason.

"Shush," muttered Barbara.

"We all are sorry," signed Cassandra.

"Like what the others are saying," said Stephanie, "We're sorry for doubting you and pushing you away from the family."

"We're also sorry that we thought you were going crazy," said Barbara sincerely.

"Same," sighed Jason, "I guess I shouldn't have taken anything out of you, especially when I have the issues."

"Thanks for the apologies," said Tim half-heartedly.

"So, about that wedding," weaseled in Stephanie.

Tim just sighed inwardly. He still didn't get an apology from Damian, and he knew that he may not get it. Bruce could also see that Damian didn't say any apologies as well and would have to talk to him about it. Four to five years of still ostracizing Tim was far than enough. As Bruce thought about this, Tim excused himself. It was time to go back to his fiancée and her friends. Hopefully, he could finally be able to give Alfred HIS invitation to his wedding.

- Later That Night –

"I am exhausted," grumbled Tim as he laid out on the bed, Serena to his right side.

"Did you finally talk with your family," questioned Serena.

"Partially," said Tim.

When Tim finally got back to Serena, she was actually talking with Alfred, Serena's friends/protectors surrounding her. Tim smiled happily at Alfred before handing him a wedding invitation. He was sure that Alfred's eyes were twinkling in happiness as he congratulated Serena and him. However, it didn't stop on how Tim felt when he finally confessed what happened between him and the Waynes. "They did apologize," said Tim, "But, it kind of felt… forced? Yeah… Forced. It looked like they didn't really know why they were apologizing."

"At least, they know now," said Serena, "And will reflect."

"Even still,' said Tim.

"Baby steps, my love," said Serena, "Baby steps."

"You're right," sighed Tim.

"Now," said Serena, "Since we have already gave the invites to five people, let us get this darn guest list done."

"Or," said Tim with a smirk, "We can…"

AN: Let your imagination take over on what Tim has in mind. （＾ｖ＾）I'm heading to bed since my brain totally died writing this chapter. I know the characters may be OOC, but hey! It's my first ever DC fanfic and I'm posting a part 2 for this one. May not add anymore though. (´×ω×`) Hoped you enjoy this coupling! ⁎❛ั◡❛ั⁎
