I knock on Adam's door and once he opens it I go down the staircase while he follows. "Something wrong Ms. Grey?" I hear him state trying to keep up with me.

"Yes something is very wrong Bruce said he's picking me up at six tonight. I don't know what dress to wear. Not that it matters, of course, I mean it's just a small little dinner date. Am I rambling I feel like I'm rambling?" I say catching my breath as I take a seat.

"I might have the dress for you, Ms. Lilith." He walks away towards the gear and weapons and comes back with a red dress. "You and my Amanda wear the same size so everything in here is yours now. You can it on in my bathroom if you like." I nod my head and take this dress back upstairs.

I go into the bathroom and take my dress from last night on and try this one on. I looked in the mirror and this dress hugged my curves very nicely. The dress had a beautiful red lace covering it entirely.

I indeed was in love with this dress. I walked back out and sat my old dress on his bed. I went back down into our lair and spun to show him the dress. He smiles and responds, "It fits you like a glove, Ms. Lilith. I think that Bruce might be interested in you."

I scoff at his statement, there is no way Bruce can be interested in me. But if Adam thinks so then maybe so. "I'll take your word for it and thank you, Adam." I sit down and look at the cameras.

I come across one where I see Batman gliding through the street. I motion for Adam to come over and help me track his path. We see him stop in front of GCPD with someone in handcuffs.

A few minutes later we catch him on a different camera inside of a building covered with plants. Adam and I see a woman walk around Batman. "That is Poison Ivy, I met her once or twice back in my prime she hasn't aged a day those plants do her good."

I stare back at the camera and Batman was trying to hold her off, however, he failed and became tangled in her vines. She slices open his cheek with one of her vines and then some sort of purple mist surrounds him.

I click off after knowing his day is eventful. I decide to head over to the empty wall. I look down at my hand and let out a deep breath. I aim for the wall and the motion became a natural feeling for me.

The ball of electricity gets absorbed into the wall and I smile feeling slightly more confident in my skills. "Have you tried to control the electricity yet?" I didn't understand what he meant by that and I'm guessing the look on my face said it all.

"I mean by trying to control the light in this room, don't blow the bulb out, please" I didn't know I could do that so I told him I didn't know-how. "Plant your feet on the floor and instead of allowing the electricity to rise allow it to fall.

I will feel a slight surge of your power however it's not enough to harm me or for me to notice of course." I nod and plant my feet on the concrete floor. I force my ability downwards and see the light begin to flicker.

I stop remembering he told me not to blow the bulb. I see him do a slight cold shiver and smile. "That was perfect almost like it came natural kid. I mean Ms.Lilith." I snicker at his mistake. "Well, now you have three names to call me Adam. Refer to me as Ms. Lilith, kid, and Kurrent." I say smiling as I walk past him.

I walk up the staircase and look at the clock in the hallway once leaving from Mr. Oslo's bedroom. I saw that I had more than enough time so I head back into my room and see my mother sitting on my bed.

"So what were you up to last night little missy hmm?" I chuckle and sit on the ottoman. "We only slept because he was drunk, you know how I feel about the whole drunken sex thing," I say as I feel my cheeks getting hot.

"So what I'm hearing is if he wasn't drunk you would let him plow you?" Oh my god, I can't believe she just said that. "No even if he was I still wouldn't bang him mom, but he is picking me up at six for dinner," I say kind of excitedly.

My mom smirks and stands up to leave. "Make some pretty grandbabies for me Lilith." She walks out of the room and leaves me there stunned. I walk over to my vanity and wipe off all my makeup from last night to apply a neutral eyeshadow. I touch up my lipstick.

I didn't care to add foundation or concealer. I get a notification on my phone so I pick it up and it was a text from a random number.

B: It's Bruce I'll pick you up early wanna take you somewhere before our dinner date. See you in 30 minutes 😘

I read the text and begin to think about how Bruce put his number in my phone. He must have done it when I left the bedroom. I reply to him with a smile on my face.

L: You are really sneaky Brucey but I'll be ready just text me when you get here.

I pull out my hair straightener and allow it to heat up. I grab my red pumps and slip them on. Once the straightener heats up I run it through the parts of my hair that have started to curl back up.

After I finish I get a text saying that Bruce was outside. I grab my clutch and walk down the grand staircase.

I open the front door and feel my arm being pulled back as I went to step outside. I turn to look and see my father holding my arm.

"Fuck up my chance at winning Bruce over for a business deal just trust me you will no longer belong to this family." I blow out a nearby light. "Next time you even think about doing something drastic John I'll be the one pulling you off of life support." I spit in his face and slam the door as I walk out.

I sway my hips and try to fix my attitude as I walk to Bruce's car. He steps out and walks around to open the passenger side door. I thank him and sit in making sure to buckle my seatbelt.

He starts the car and looks me in the eyes. "Is everything okay at home because no one just yanks their child like that for the fun of it?" I look down on the brink of tears. Bruce gently lifts my chin so I can look at him.  I notice a scratch on the side of his face, I swear I saw it before but I didn't know where.

I turn away and look outside as he starts the ignition. "I suggest you take my father's deal, Bruce. It would save all of us the trouble." I feel a tear roll down my cheek. "If taking the deal will make him stop then I'll sign the papers when I go to bring you home." I sigh in relief that he is giving it a thought.

"You can spend the night at my place if you would like," I tell him I wouldn't mind. I hate that Bruce saw what happened between me and my father, but maybe this is a chance to be reborn.

~~~45 minutes later~~~

"C'mon sleepy head we're here." I hear Bruce say so I step out of the car and see a museum. He grabs my hand and walks up to the entrance with me.

Upon entering I see the most beautiful painting ever. I felt as if it symbolizes my life currently. Lightning struck me down, now I have to hope it builds me up.

I get broken out of my trance by a few journalists and paparazzi yelling over each other. Bruce pulls me close and tells me to smile as we walk so I did. A journalist blocks our path. "Excuse me but are you two dating?" We both look at each other I go to speak but Bruce beats me to it.

"Yes, after the party I confessed my love for her." I stand there shocked but decided to go along with it. I didn't really know what to say so I just smiled and nudged his arm.

We walk off into the heart of the museum. I've never seen so many paintings and statues that speak to me on a personal level. I can't wait for tomorrow.
