Persephone Jackson-Wayne (UP FOR ADOPTION)

Chapter 2

Third POV.

Bruce and Percy turned around to find a group of superheroes with emotions varying from moment to moment.
Shock and curiosity on every face reminded him they didn't know about Percy.

Percy must've been thinking the same thing because she looked to his empty ring finger and raised an eyebrow.
With a sad yet angry look in her eyes she asked, "Uh.. Bruce? Where is your ring?"

"RING?!!",they all exclaimed, everyone seeming to get shock after shock.

Bruce went a bit pale and struggled for a few moments with his shirt, eventually taking out a chain with a ring on it.

"I kept it. Close to my heart since you left", he said, and Percy winced momentarily upon the reminder but looked happy nonetheless by his cheesy reason.

Taking the ring off the chain he wore it, this time on its proper place. After that he just kept staring at Percy with a look no one but her could recognize.

Percy, seemingly waiting for him to say something, tapped her foot against the floor and then burst out, "So Batsy? Aren't you gonna introduce me?"

"Right. Yes. Sorry. I still can't believe you're here', he said, a bit nervous, "this is Diana, Clark, J'onn, Arthur, Barry. They're...friends from work."

"Nice to see my husband has some friends... pleasure to meet you", Percy said with a soft smile that put most of them to ease.

Bruce finally went on to introduce his kids, seemingly very nervous about something.

"These are my kids: Dick, Tim, Jason and.. Damien", Bruce introduced stumbling over the last name. A look of pain also flashed upon Percy's face at the name that nobody but him seemed to notice.

"Uhh.... Don't worry. They're actually adopted. I never moved on', Bruce said, whispering the last part, 'but Damien's my biological child."

Percy smiled warmly at them, but at the last sentence seemed to have come to a realization and staggered back a couple steps and in a voice with alot of nervousness and relief, asked, "Wait, Damien. THAT Damien? Our Damien??" She whispered the last question.

Upon hearing his name, Damien looked toward her, his emotionless face betraying nothing but his eyes held a hint of curiosity on how she knew him.

"Yes honey. That Damien', Bruce told her sadly, 'Ladies and gentlemen, meet Percy Jackson-Wayne, my wife."

Despite witnessing the whole ring scene, there was silence for a whole minute.... And then the whole room went into an uproar.

Everyone's voices overlapped the others and soon everyone was practically asking the same question but in a different way, "Wife??"

Percy started by this uproar and she was about to have a flashback to you-know-where. Bruce saw his wife's terrified face and anger coursed through him so he yelled in his authoritative Batman voice, "SILENCE!!!"

The chattering stopped. Damien, the bravest one, stepped up and said, "Forgive me Father. But I thought you said wife? My ears must have been mistaken."

Bruce tiredly said, "No Damien. I said it correct. Percy is my wife. Has been for the past 11 years".

Percy seeming to come out of her daze, stared at Damien with a wistful look which outright confused him, then looked to the others and spoke in a more authoritative tone than her husband's asked, "Yes I am his wife. Does anyone have a problem with that? If they do... Well they can kindly get out of my house. Don't let the door hit you on your way out."

With that she strutted out of the room, only stopping to kiss Bruce's cheek and giving a last smile to Alfred, leaving behind a proud husband, a happy butler, a confused group of superheroes and a group of children who were looking after her with a look of wonder, amazement and curiosity.

Gotham is in for a wild ride.
Criminals better watch out.
