Bruce's POV

Weeks have passed to almost a month and working with Ladybug has been proven to work wonders against Gotham's villains and low-level thugs. Although...I still wonder about her powers and her true identity under that hood and mask. She said her powers were magic but what does that entail? Could she be like Zatana and Doctor Fate or maybe John Constantine, or maybe and even more powerful than they are.

Over the past weeks, we've seen her in different costumes using different different abilities to defeat some of the villains. And if I remember correctly, and judging from her costumes, I'd say there was her usual Ladybug, Turtle, Bee and Fox in that order. Even after observing her every move, she remains a secret. Right now, we were on patrol and the boys were chatting with her while she just listened to them.

I must say, with her around, seeing villains has become almost a rarity. The last time one of Joker's pawns tried to overtake Gotham, Ladybug managed to help us and it took us a total of five to ten minutes which, if you really think about it, isn't that long. And after that, Gotham has never been more quiet.

Red Robin: So Miss Bug, what do you like to do for fun?

Ladybug: I don't know, maybe cook...

Nightwing: So you can cook. What's your favourite dish?

Ladybug: Uhh...Teriyaki Chicken.

Red Hood: Oh, that sounds good.

Robin: Tch, we have someone who can make us a feast. It's not that great.

Batgirl: Hey, cut her some slack. You can make one sh*t.

Robin: Neither can you.

While they bickered I joined Ladybug on the higher level of the roof where she sat. "I take it that you also spend time with lots of people to know how to deal with them." She sighed, "I mean..yeah, I have school. Don't your 'sidekicks' go to school too?" I looked out into the distance. "Don't worry, I won't ask you what school, but I can tell that they're around my age." she said. I then asked, "How did you get your powers?"

She then looked at me. "Why do you wanna know, Big Bats? You think I was kidnapped or something like those other metateens?" I shook my head. "I was born with it. And as I got older, it got stronger and things started to change. The end." Powers are able to change and grow stronger? That's new. "If it isn't too much to ask for, what is the extent of your powers?"

She stood up and looked up at me, "Sorry but it is a bit too much. I prefer not to say." She grabbed her yo-yo and continued, "Well, what I can say is that what you've seen is simply the surface. I can do much more." And with that she threw her yo-yo into the distance and swung herself across the city. "Let's go. That's it for Patrol today." I told them. We returned to the Batmobile and left for the cave.

Tim's POV

Everyone was talking about the Christmas Ball coming up in TWO months. Sigh...it's not like it's one week away or something. "Hey Tim!" I looked up from my phone and saw Stephanie. "Hey. What's up?" I replied. "Thanks for letting me go to the Gala with you. It was so amazing and your family's really nice." I smiled, "It's no problem. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself." She blushed a little and I blushed too.

"Get a room, lovebirds." I glared over at Jason who was laughing with Marinette and Barbara while Dick and demon stood next to them. "Shut up!" I shouted. Marinette and Babs came right over and introduced herself to her and they immediately became friends and chatted while walking away. "Drake, to be very blunt, I knew you had bad taste but her..you could've done better."

"I agree." Jason concurred with demon. "You two can't talk sh*t. You don't even have love interests and you're trying to give me love advice. Pawlease." Dick wrapped his arm around my neck, "Don't worry about them, Timmy. Congrats on pushing your relationship with her forward." I nodded and patted Dick on his back. "Hey boys, what do you think about us seven going to a café later today after school?" Barbara asked us.

"Sounds good. Umm..but which café exactly?" Jay replied in question. "There's a café near my house. I'll give you guys directions. How does that sound?" Cupcake suggested. We all agreed and it was a go. The bell rang for the end of lunch so we all parted and went back to our designated classes. I sat next to my desk partner Bernard and the lesson started. "Hey, I heard you and Stephanie are kinda going out now." he whispered.

"Yeah I guess." He chuckled, "Be on your toes. Many of the guys in our class kinda wanted her, and some of the girls kinda wanted to go out with you. Get ready for a cat fight." he warned. I smiled, "I think I'll be fine." The day came to an end and I packed my things and left the classroom with Steph and met up with the others who stood waiting outside the school. "Now that everyone's here, let's go!" Marinette exclaimed.

We packed ourselves into the limo with Cupcake in front with the driver and we left. We soon arrived at the café and it was pretty nice. We found a table near the corner and looked at the menu. There were a lot of things to choose from but I just went with a latte and a Christmas themed cookie while Steph chose a Boba Milk Tea and a cake pop. And after that we just chatted and got to know each other a little better.

We spent about two hours there then decided to leave with the girls paying and the boys and I felt kinda bad about it so we paid instead. Cupcake said that she'll walk home since it wasn't too far and after that we left. We dropped Steph home first then dropped Babs and finally we went home. We found Bruce in the living room reading the newspapers. He sighed then placed the newspapers down on the page he was reading.

Bruce: Turns out there was a jewellery store theft this afternoon.

Jason: Did the cops catch the thief?

Bruce: I'm afraid not.

Damian: So that means that idiot is still on the loose.
Time for some assassination measures to track him down.

Tim: Don't be an idiot, demon. I say we investigate the crime scene.

It almost sounds as if they decided to do their villainy during the day because during the night they have us to deal with. Not a bad idea actually...

Dick: Do you think Ladybug knows about this?

Bruce: We'll meet up with her tonight as usual and see. If not we'll relay the information.
