Bruce meets Tim

Selina gives the two a smirk when laying on the wall

Selina: Ahh the young lovers.


Dick: What'd you doing here?! You're supposed to be in jail! 


Selina: Obviously Bruce didn't tell you he approved of my parrol. 


Dick: WHAT?!

Barbra: Easy Dick. How are you Selina?

Selina: I been worse. Thanks for asking. Bruce wants to get me in Wayne Enterprises to get me back on my feet.


Dick: Guess you're only interested in his family jewels! 


Barbra: Dick! Well I hope it goes well. 


Selina: I didn't agree to it. 


Dick: No surprise 


Selina: But I didn't say no either just so you know either.


Dick: So why are you even here?


Selina: Just for dinner then he saw the Batsignal. I was looking for my cat here. 


Barbra: Oh yeah.  I took her in at my house with my dad. I could get her for you.


Selina: You're really sweet honey.


Dick: I don't know what game you're playing or how you fooled Bruce but you're not fooling me.


Selina: If I was fooling anyone you don't have to be jerk about it.


Sadly Selina wasn't wrong even if Dick is right about her

Dick wasn't gonna let that go likely 

He charged at Selina Barbra tried to stop him but it was too late he used his circus skills to flip forward to lunge at Selina but she counters him knocking him to the floor 

Barbra tries to stop them then Bruce comes in shocked


He steps in stopping them


Bruce: That's enough! 


Selina: Don't worry about it Bruce.  I was just leaving.


Bruce: Selina!


Selina flees running out the door Bruce tried to go after her  but she was already out the door


Dick: Good riddance! 


Barbra: I ashamed of you Dick! She wasn't causing any harm!


Dick: Are you ser---have you forgotten she stabbed us in the back for a stupid diamond?! Now you want to give her the chance to do it again?!


Bruce: It's been three years Dick. We can't undo the past but we can't let our emotions be our undoing. 


Dick: Have you fallen for her manipulation again Bruce?! She's playing you! Every time you fall for it thinking she will change but she never will! 

Bruce: That's enough! 


Dick: She's nothing but a conniving gold digging lying bitch!


Bruce: SHUT UP!!!!!

Silence came in the room Barbra's face dropped in shock

Dick stared at Bruce in hurt and disbelief Bruce instantly regretted snapping at him


Bruce: Dick....I'm.....I'm sorry....


Dick: Alright I see how it is. You won't face the truth? Fine. 


Dick intentionally bumps Bruce in the shoulder storming out Bruce and Barbra called out to him 

Barbra ran after him and tried calling out to him but the next thing Bruce heard was a motorcycle starting and riding off


The bat family was beginning to devide...decide....


The next morning Bruce pulled up to Gotham University to meet up with Barbra and this Tim Drake kid part of him worried about running into Dick after last night but Barbra asked him to come

Many students were surprised to see the famous Bruce Wayne on campus.


Outside the dorm building Barbra and Tim exited the building Tim had just told her bad news


Tim: So yeah last night dad gets arrested for starting a bar fight now I got no custody here. Means I'm off the streets. 

Barbra: I'm so sorry Tim. But once you meet my friend he'll be able to help you. 

Tim: How? No offense but your friend has to be more stocked as Bruce Wayne to help me.


Barbra: Funny you would say that.


Tim: Why? 


Barbra eyes aside him and Tim turns and to his surprise....


.....Bruce appears out of no where 

Tim's expression drops in shock

Tim: No way....your friend is THEE Bruce Wayne? Or is it just Bruce Wayne?


Barbra: His choice of course. 


Bruce: Hello there. You must be Tim Drake. I'm---


Tim: I know who you are. We all do. Even us homeless kids. 


Bruce: Homeless? 


Barbra: His dad was arrested last night Bruce. I figured....well just like you did for Dick...you could.....


Bruce knew where Barbara was going and he wanted to but without Alfred...could he still manage? And how will he keep Tim from finding the Batcave like Dick did?


 Bruce: I...could just.....I'm short staff at the manor....I mean after Alfred.....

Barbra: Oh....right....


Tim: Look it's okay. I don't want to waste your time. 


Bruce: But I can still fund you here. If you like.


Tim: Really? I mean don't think I'm ungrateful but why would you help me?


Bruce: I am charitable. It's really the least I can do.


Tim: Thanks but how did Barbra come to know you?


Bruce: Her father is a close friend so she asked me to help you out. 


Tim shakes Bruce's hand getting more aquinted
