The Princess of Gotham (Batfam x Young Justice)

Chapter 6

Jay and Dahl groan while Tracie definitely has a fake smile on, so naturally I try to lighten the mood. I clap my hands loudly, "That's great! Moving on!" Bruce gives me a thoughtful look, and in return I grace him with a small smile. He continues talking.

"On the other hand, we will be having some visitors for the week. Also, Dahlia, it is your week with Talia. She is coming to get you in two hours, so please be ready."

"Yes Father", Dahl replies. 

"Who are these visitors?" Tracie asks.

"About that..." Bruce trails off.

"Bruce? Who is it?" I ask sternly.

"Dixie... now don't get mad. this is for yours' and your sisters' safety."

"Bruce... What did you do?" I ask looking dead in his eye, my smile completely gone. He takes in a breath. 

"Tomorrow, the team is going to come to protect you all."

"Bruce! Why would you do that! I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself!" Bruce interrupts my rant in the same tone. 

"I know!" I flinch a bit and so do my sisters; he rarely ever yells. "I know, but Dixie, you just had surgery. You have to take it easy; which means no Robin for the week. Red hood and Oracle will take care of it."

"But..."

"No buts... For the next two days no dancing, next four days no gymnastics, the following day after gymnastics you can start trapeze again. Girls, go easy on your sister. When the team comes please don't give them a hard time. Please make them feel welcome. Jay, no guns. Dixie, no climbing the chandelier. Dahlia... You'll be with your mother. Tracie... Keep being the angel you are and don't let them corrupt you. Brently, if any point you want to stay this week you are welcome to. Alfred will be here this week, but I will be in Tokyo for a meeting. I unfortunately will be back Friday morning in time for the gala." Bruce sighs, "any questions?" The entire room was silent. I don't know if I'm confused or angry, or both. I stand up with a frown on my face; Brently quickly rushing to my side, making sure I stay standing.

In a low, angry voice, I voice my opinion, "You better make sure this is the right decision." With that I stagger out of the living room back to my quarters; with most of my body weight on Brently.

(Bruce's POV)

'I know she's against this, but it's for her own good.' All of the girls file out of the room except Tracie, who continued reading. 'She really is an angel.' I give a light hearted smile, now my game face. I enter the Batcave and put my suit on. I walk over to the zeta tube, type in my destination, and walk through.

(Nobody's POV)

The team here's the zeta announce Batman's arrival, and rush to the briefing room. Upon entering they are greeted with the famous bat glare. A thickening silence began growing, and Aqualass cut through it, "What is our mission sir?" Batman looks at her and pulls up a holoscreen.

"This is the Wayne family. Two of Mr. Wayne's children have been receiving death threats." As he says their names he points to the person, "Bruce Wayne, he will be going on a business meeting in Japan, so he will be there too great you then he is leaving. Alfred Pennyworth, he is the family Butler, and will be there during your stay. Dixie Grayson, she is the eldest daughter, and one of the two children receiving death threats. Do not let her climb the chandelier. She does have a gymnastics background, so if you see her doing crazy stunts that's normal. Jasmine Todd, second to oldest, she may or may not be there during your stay. Tracie Drake, second to youngest, she is smart and quiet;  you will most likely find her in the library. She is also the second daughter receiving death threats. Lastly, Dahlia Wayne, the youngest daughter, she will not be there. She is staying with her mother for the week and will return on Friday. You all will be staying there for a week to protect the children. These death threats are no joke." Apollo looks angry.

"Why Are we protecting some rich kids? We aren't babysitters! Where is the real mission?!" Aqualass puts a hand on his shoulder.

"My friend, let's hear him out first before we make assumptions." Apollo huffs. Batman starts again.

"These death threats are from the Joker, and Dixie is receiving extra threats from a man named Tony Zuko." The teens eyes go wide realizing this isn't a joke anymore.

"What about Robin?" Kid flash asks.

"Robin was severely injured in a battle. She will not be joining you."

"Is she okay?!" Mr. Martian panics.

"She's recovering."

"When will we be there?" Aqualass asks calmly.

"You will be leaving here tomorrow morning at seven; which should get you there around 9 AM." Batman informs, "also you will all attend the charity gala on Friday as well."

"Yes sir" Aqualass says. With that Batman leaves. The team packs their suitcases and heads to bed. Morning arrives and the team gets ready and heads off.

(At the Manor)
(Dixie's POV)

I wake up to a knock on my door. "Mistress Dixie?" 'Ah, it's just Alfred.'

"Yes, Alfred?" I ask; my eyes adjusting to the light.

"Breakfast is ready." Alfred states in a heavy British accent like always. 'Man I love Alfred.'

"Thank you Alfred! Be there in a minute!" I say enthusiastically. I hear Alfreds retreating footsteps and go to stand up, but in my bean bag, on the floor, by my bed lay Brently fast asleep. 'He looks so cute... Snap out of it Dixie! That medication they got me on is really doing something all right.' I gently shake him awake whispering his name. His eyes flutter open.

"Dixie?"

"Good morning. How'd you sleep?"

"Good. You?"
