Author's note: This is more of a filler arc. If you want to continue with the main plot, feel free to skip ahead. (TL;DR Selina and Raven meet for the first time, everything resolves in a game of tag)

"I think you should have worn something else, something more comfortable," Damian said.

Raven was wearing the same dress she wore on their first date and had her hair tied in a bun. She couldn't understand him. "Why? You are wearing a suit anyway. I want to give a good impression," She said.

"So we run away," Damian said.

The couple traversed the ominous gates of the Wayne manor. It was huge, elegant, and centuries years old. The floor of the main hall had a checker pattern and a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. 

"Master Damian and... " Alfred greeted. 

"Rav... Rachel, Rachel Roth," Damian said.

"Nice to meet you," She said. 

"Your father is waiting for you in the dining room. It seems like master Dick and master Jason are late," Alfred said.

As they were walking away, they heard steps on the stairway and a voice who called them from afar. "Hello, Damian. Aren't you going to hug me? We are almost family anyway, and you look beautiful in that dress, darling" She said. She was a tall woman with a black strapless dress and long boots. 

"Not yet Selina, not yet," He said. 

Was that Selina Kyle, the same Selina Kyle that gifted her the dress she was now wearing? Raven was speechless.  

In the dining room were his father, Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown. 

"I'm sorry we are late," Grayson said. He came with Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl). They were wearing a casual outfit. It made Raven more comfortable knowing that she had a friend here too. 

They heard a crash from outside and a man opened the dining room's window and climbed through, along with a muscular redhead woman. "Hi, family. Good to see ya" he said.

"Jason, please, use the door," Bruce said.

"We were flying by and the window; it was closer," Jason Todd said, "By the way, she is my new girlfriend Artemis"

They all felt uneasy. They were a family, but Raven could feel great tension between them.

"Who are you?" Jason said pointing at Raven.

"I'm Rachel, Damian's girlfriend," Raven said.

"Nooooo way," Jason said "What am I the only one shocked that mister antisocial has a girlfriend?"

"It's asocial, Todd. Antisocial means against society," Damian answered.   

"That's what I'm talking about. For real, what did you see in this guy?" Todd said.

"I don't know, he is sweet, caring, generous. Not to mention tall, in shape, and with beautiful green eyes." She answered.

Artemis laughed and said, "Burn in your face! High five me, sister." Raven wasn't sure about it but she hi-fived her back.

They were all sitting at the table. Maybe, things will be smoother from now on, but she was wrong.

"We have to address the elephant in the room. What are you, Raven? How do we even know we are safe with you, let alone dating Damian?" Tim said.

Raven was scared of what he said, and the fact that he called her Raven and not Rachel, made things worst. Damian was furious. 

"SHUT UP DRAKE," Damian said "I know you hate me Drake, but none of you have any right to tell who I can date. And just to make a list and make things clear, Grayson is dating a refugee alien..."
