*eventually they get to the mansion do their reports and then go back to their rooms as Kitty rushes back to her room wishing Logan would come but never does she wants to text him or call but thinks that she's being annoying so she stands outside on her balcony to see Logan leaving on his bike as she wonders where he's going ( and who with) and shakes off her thoughts as Bruce video calls her asking about her ray and if she's eaten, she orders food as she talks to Bruce and talk for an hour, her food arrives she eats it while taking to Bruce about a case and then she looks down sad*\\ Bruce- what is it... what's wrong? You can tell me anything// Kitty- Ra's Al Ghul trained you many years ago didn't he// Bruce/ yes he did * his face turns serious*// Kitty- I've been doing some thinking * Bruce moves stiffly as he sighs* did you save me from the league, I don't think Ras would've released me without a duel... did you?// Bruce- come on... no I didn't it was because-// Kitty- please be honest with me * Bruce sighs and balls his hand into a fist looking says then brings the fist by his mouth and looks at her through the video chat*\\ Bruce- yes// Kitty- a duel to the death? So how come he's still alive?// Bruce- he's the only man I've attempted to kill, he has the fountain of youth as they say, a Lazarus pit. As he lay dying he granted your freedom// Kitty- were you going to kill him?// Bruce I don't know, some part of me knew I could not have but the other part of me would've done anything to protect my daughter * she smiles as she starts to cry* I'm sorry if I've upset you// Kitty- thank you for never giving up on me// Bruce- thank you for saving my life// Kitty- what do you mean?// Bruce- being your godfather was the proudest day of my life. When I lost your dad I was a mess I lost my best friend in the entire planet that understood why I enacted to be Batman but you shaped me you made me compassionate and caring and all these other qualities I get from being your dad. I owe you so much, you'll never know how you saved me// Kitty- I love you, best dad in the world * he smiles as his tears well up\\ Bruce- I love you..I'll call you tomorrow, it's time to work// Kitty- be careful * he  chuckles*\\ Kitty- bye Alfred, I love you // Alfred- and you as-well miss Kitty * as the screen goes off and she thinks about how lucky she is to have Bruce and Alfred as her family*
