Just a little explanation for this chapter. Bruce and Anna are eight years apart in age. Which means when Martha and Thomas died Anna was four and Bruce was twelve. Bruce left when Anna was seven and trained with the League when he was nineteen. He took Dick in as his ward when he was twenty three to train to become Robin. This is also before Oliver disappears and Anna joins the League. I hope this explains some things and I hope you all enjoy this update.

"Dad!" I squeal seeing him. I drop my bags and run to his open arms.
"Anna, it is so nice to have you back home." He kisses my temple.
"Are Bruce and Dick around?" I ask, looking for my brother and the closest thing I have to a best friend.
"They are around." Alfred answers.
"Well, I hope they show up soon because I have a surprise for them." I smile.
"Well, let's make your favorite dessert." Alfred offers.
"Dad, you know I suck at anything in the kitchen that doesn't involve eating." I joke.
"You just lack the patience it takes to excel in the kitchen. Which is strange for someone who spends all of her time in engineering labs." He teases me right back.
"If something goes wrong in what I'm developing, I can just scrap it. Take the parts away and start over. With cooking and baking, I would have to throw away and basically have enough ingredients for fifty failed dishes." I explain.
"Nonetheless, I know you love to lick the leftover batter off the spoon."
"Oh yes, that's the best part." I smile as I join my dad in the kitchen.
"I knew you would be on board." He smiles. I help gather all of the ingredients.
"Would this surprise have something to do with a certain Mr. Oliver Queen?" I stop what I'm doing.
"You..."
"The young man was shaking with nerves when asked me for permission."
"You know."
"Of course I know. I'm your father."
"I said yes, by the way."
"As I'm sure you did."
"I love him, dad. And he loves me."
"Mr. Oliver has not been my favorite, but you love him, and that's all that matters."
"Oliver is rough around the edges, but I know the good heart that he has underneath." I defend.
"Have you thought about when?"
"I would like to finish school first."
"That is my girl. Putting your education first."
"When I help run Wayne Enterprise, I want to have the tools to do so."
"You're going to make a brilliant engineer Anna."
"Thank you for always supporting me. And spending the semester abroad was amazing. I learned so much and...I can't wait to see more of the world."
"You're leaving again, aren't you?" I nod my head.
"There's an opportunity I have been given to develop some cutting edge bio-engineering technology, and I'm going to take it."
"And what will Oliver do without you?" Dad teases me.
"Well, he's not finishing school if that's what you're asking."
