Cats in the bag

Bruce grows more serious

With Selina smirking back at him

Boyle: And who might you be my dear?


Selina: Rene Remeriez. I'm Bruce's secretary. 


Boyle: And a lovely one at that. I wonder how Wayne makes his appointments.


Selina: The secrets out. And you are?


Boyle: Your Humanitarian of the year. Ferris Boyle. 


Selina: And so you are.


Bruce: Yes um Mr. Boyle if you'll excuse us.


 Bruce grabs Selina by the arm and pulls her away leaving Boyle to smirk getting the wrong idea


Across the room Dick fallowed Barbra to the food table where Gordon was eating cherries


Once he turned he smiled seeing his daughter 


Gordon: Barbra.

Barbra: Hi dad. Sorry I'm late.

Barbra kisses her dad on the cheek and Dick keeps tabs on her backs up a bit seeing Gordon with her

Gordon: I worried you wouldn't be able to find the place. With all that's going on. 


Barbara: Dad I'm a big girl. I have no trouble getting around. 


Gordon: I know. Just an old man's curse to worry.


Barbra: Old? You're as young as you feel. 


Gordon: You sound like your mother. 


Barbra laughs and happen to look behind her almost spotting Dick till he hides behind a pillar

Barbara then got serious like Bruce did


Speaking of Bruce he pulls Selina out in a hall away from the crowd she chuckles like a Witch 


Selina: Bruce if you were eager you could have pulled me in your limbo. 


Bruce: Enough with the sherade Selina what'd you doing here?


Selina: I could ask you the same thing. Plus where's your Doctor Lover. Oh that's right she left.


Bruce frowns hearing that

Selina: Ohhh....too soon?



Bruce: Just tell me why you're here. And what you want. 


Selina: What I can't have. 


Selina pulls Bruce in a passionate kiss just to shove him to the wall and runs back in the crowd 

Bruce lost sight of her


Bruce: Dammit. 


Meanwhile Dick fallowed Barbra outside where she disappeared 


Dick frowned confused till....it turned out Barbara hid behind the wall behind him then grabs him by the wrist twisting his arm behind him


Dick: OW! HEY WAIT A MINUTE!

Barbra: Who are you? And why are you fallowing me?


Dick: I wasn't! I swear!


Barbra: I'm not stupid. Why are you fallowing me?


Dick: I mean you no harm. I'm Richard Grayson.  We go to the same college Gotham University. 


Barbra grew curious and let's him go


Barbra: You're Bruce Wayne's ward?


Dick: Yeah unfortunately. 


Barbara: Unfortunately? Not into the rich life?


Dick: More like not into being in his shadow. I'm just a guy making his own life. Or.....trying to.


Barbra: In any case I'm Barbra. 


Dick: Dick. 


Barbra: Pardon me?


Dick: That's what my friends call me.


Barbara smiled with her first impression of him


Upstairs Bruce assumed Selina was after the charity money and when he came in he was right stook the money box turning around surprised 


Selina: Damn....

Bruce: Stealing from charity? I didn't think you would sink this low.

Selina: Don't lecture me Bruce. You can write them a check.


Bruce: You are NOT walking out of here with that money. There are people CHILDREN who need it more than you. 


Selina: Then give them your bank account. 


Bruce: The world is not that simple Selina. 


Selina: It is for me.


Selina tries to barge around Bruce with the money but he blocks her 


Bruce: Put it down. 


Selina: Come and get it.


Selina kicks her high heel but he countered it and pushed her back causing her to drop the box spilling out the money


Bruce and Selina fought kung-fu style Bruce countered her every attack but she headbuts him knocking him on the floor


Selina then climbs on top of him


Selina: Admit it Bruce you're having fun.


Bruce: I would be if you weren't stealing. 


Selina: Then how will you be a hero without someone to chase? 


Bruce: You think I enjoy it. I have to be. 


Selina: Who says?


Bruce: Me.


Bruce tries to force her off but she holds him down and kisses him again.....

....just to flip over him


Selina opens a window and dives out


Leaving Bruce with the spilled money and sighs

Bruce: Well least she didn't take it. 


Down stairs with Dick and Barbra they talked to to get to know each other 


Barbra: So you were born in the circus?

Dick: Where my dad met my mom. He was a marine. 


Barbra: And after they passed you lived with Mr. Wayne....how long exactly?


Dick: Two years. I haven't told him yet....but I'm starting to outgrow it.


Barbra: You already hate him?


Dick: I don't hate him....believe me I appreciate it everything Bruce does for me. It's just....he's controlling. It's always his way or the hard way.


Barbra: My dad's the same way. It's why mom left him. Dad means well too sometimes he can be overprotective. 


Dick: See that's my point on Bruce! 


Barbra: But there's a reason. I'm all he has now. Mom died in accident last year.


Dick: Oh...I'm very sorry. 


Barbra: Thanks. And sorry for twisting your arm.


Dick: No hard feelings.


All of sudden....the entrance.....FROZE up in ice like the cargo ship it caught everyone off guard and then......EXPLODES causing panic entering the red eye figure



(The identity of this unknown figure will be revealed.....in the next chapter.......)
