Wayne family adventures

Wayne

Bruce Wayne pov:

I went into the bank to bail Jason out. He hit six cars in less than 30 seconds. This kid's gonna bury me alive.
I walked in and I went out front when a voice yelled:
"Hey! You can't do that!"
"Excuse me?" I said confused.
"We've been waiting for an hour here, you can't just show up here and cut the line, it is not fair." she said. She was looking sick, her eyes had dark circles and her nose was red. I couldn't help but notice how familiar her eyes looked to me, that intense blue... there was no way.
"Do you know how I am?" I asked her.
"I don't know and I don't care. You just cut the line and I'm not staying here for another 10 minutes because some rich guy decided to cut the line."
"Ok." I didn't want to argue with her, with a child. Enough that I had to confiscate Jason's motorcycle keys. I didn't have the strength to fight another kid.
"Are you happy now?"
"Yes." she said.
"Why do you have to make a scene everywhere we go?" the boy next to her asked.
"I didn't make a scene. I'm going to get coffee. Do you want some?" the girl is way too young to be drinking coffee.
"A cappuccino."
"Really?" the boy said.
"Did you think I was gonna buy you a cappuccino?"
"I should have left you at home..."
"Home? I had to work today, but now I'm here."
"Yeah, like you pay the rent."
They started arguing.
"Like you're cooking and shopping."
"Like you pay for gas for the bikes."
"Like you pay for-"
She stopes.
"Hey!"
"Sorry!"
"Go get some coffee, I'll pay for yours."
"Your girlfriend?" I asked
"Sister." he corrects me
"She's got some nerve.."
"She's just tired. She's usually very nice." he cuts me.
"What are you kids doing here anyway?"
"We're just helping mom with rent. U know? helping around the house. You Mr..."
"Wayne. Bruce Wayne."
"Mr Wayne. Nice meeting ya."
"What's your name kid?"
"Liam."
"Liam, nice to meet you too Liam. Your sister is looking very sick, why isn't she in bed?"
Before he could answer the girl came back.
"'I'm back." she said.
"This is my sister, Tinee." Liam introduced her.
"Nice to meet you, Tinee." I said
"Destinee." I know that name. But it couldn't be her. Her eyes, her name... NO.
"What?"
"Tinee is for family."
"What a beautiful name." We looked into each other's eyes as if we'd known each other forever. I haven't seen this shade of blue in someone eyes since my daughter was kidnapped. It couldn't be her. She is with her mother. I hope.
A phone starts ringing.
"Give me the phone, Liam."
"Tinee..."
"Please.
He hands her the phone and then she lives outside.
"I know what you're thinking kid. I know how you feel."
"I don't understand why she doesn't listen. I try to protect her and she just tries to get into trouble. I don't know what I'm doing wrong."
"If it helps, my son just wrecked 6 cars in less than a minute, I've been arguing with him all morning to give me the keys to my motorcycle. Now he's upset and he's just sitting in his room."
"How old is he?"
"20."
"And he lives with you?"
"Not really, right now he's just grounded in the house until I finish the landlord complaints and all the paperwork to keep him out of jail."
"Seems fair."
"How old is your sister?"
"She'll be 16 in a couple months."
"Oh.." It has to be her. Destinee is a very common name, and my daughter isn't the only one with that shade of blue. My Destinee is with Talia.

Destinee turns back
"No." says Liam
"You don't even know what he wanted."
"No."
"It's a really good offer."
"Still no."
"You suck."
"Not a nice way to talk to your brother." I said, remembering how old she is and the language she uses.
"You pay this month's rent." And he drives off, gets in his motor and drives off.
"What are you looking at?" she said angry
"Whatever your brother told you not to do, he told you not to do it because he's for your own good..." she cut me.
"Who asked your opinion? You know nothing about me and my brother."
She paid and went out in the rain. I paid quickly and ran after her. I knew she wasn't my Destinee, but I wanted to help her.
"You want a ride home?"
"Sure, if you kidnap me, I might scratch your eyes out." I laughed.
We got in the car and started toward her house.
"Destinee, right?"
"Yeah."
"So, you want to talk to someone about what happened?" if Jason didn't want to tell me why he wrecked 6 cars maybe she wanted to talk to someone about what happened. Or maybe she didn't.
"Look men, I know you are trying to be nice but I don't even know you. You're not my therapist and no, I don't want to talk about it. Turn left here, the first building."
"My son lives here." I said. He was taking care of some cats and plants for a friend. He's been there for two days.
"Cool for him." she said. "Thanks for the ride."
"You're welcome. I am going with you to say hi to my son."
I walked around the back of the block because she didn't have keys and Tim wasn't answering my phone. Why do I bother buying everybody phones so I can check up on them if they don't respond to me.
"Hi kid." I said to Tim when I saw him.
"Bruce! Hi man. What are you doing here?" he said excitedly.
"I was just dropping Destinee off."
"Destinee..." Tim sais.
"Timothy..."
I don't think they liked each other. I took Tim aside and told him.
"Aren't you supposed to be in school?"
"Yeah, but let me explain... I was supposed to go but I didn't get up on time and when I walked out the door I realized I hadn't made any coffee, I came back and when I made there was no coffee, so I went to the store, but it was closed. Then I went to the mall and when I wanted to buy coffee I saw a new coffee machine. I wanted to buy it but I had no money because I forgot my wallet at home. I came back and when I went to get the machine it was gone. So I looked all over the city and when I found the place I remembered I had to go to school. I got in front of the school and they told me I couldn't get in. So I went back home."
"No Robin for a week."
"What?! Why?"
"You didn't wake up on time because of the long patrol from last night. I told you not to stay up that late. School is more important than Robin. That was our deal. Go and pack your bags. Tomorrow I'm coming to pick you up to bring you back to the Manor." he was so grounded for skipping school. "Go. Now."
"You're sick. You're not allowed to smoke when you have a cold." Liam said.
"How old are you and why are you smoking? Does that seem normal to you at this age..." I asked the kids. "I asked you a question."
"Who are you, the police?" asked the guy next to them.
"Do your parents know what you do behind their backs?"
"Who says we have parents?" Destinee said. And I was speechles. I wanted to approach them , but something caught my eye and the three of them started to run. I start running after them.They jumped a fence and then climbed a fire escape.
"Hey!" I yelled.
Destinee stuck her tongue out at me and Liam gave me a glare through the cigarette smoke.

3 in the morning. I got a call from Tim.
"Bruce." he says almost sobbing.
"What happened?"
"Bruce, the building is on fire, they've evacuated us all, I'm scared Bruce, can you come get me?"
"I'm on my way."
I got out of bed and flew to the car. When I got there Tim was sitting on the ground waiting for me.
"Tim." I yelled.
"BRUCE." he was scared.
"It's ok boy. Come here."
I took him in my arms to calm him down, then took him to the car, wanting to talk to one of the cops about what happened.
"LIAM!" a familiar voice screams. It was Destinee. Four cops were there to handcuff her.
"Let the kid free." I yelled to the cops. The girl was shaking from crying. I took her in my arms and held her tight. She had a fever and she could barely stand. "Easy sweetie, it's going to be okay." She was definitely going to pass out from the shock. "It's gonna be okay."
"Sir, we have to take her to the police station." the police man said.
"Why is that?" I asked.
"She doesn't show up on our database, she's obviously on her own without an adult, living here illegal and has nowhere to go, she's just assaulted a police officer and-" someone's talking into his headphone. "She also appears to be a thief. I was just told she robbed a store twice last week.And I don't think she has the money to cover bail."
"I can take her to spend the night and I can pay for the bail out bill." I said. Why I said that. I don't even know the girl. It can't be her, Talia's long gone with her, there's no way. But maybe...NO.
I grabbed her by the hand and led her to the car. I opened the door and she got in of her own accord, and I got behind the wheel.
"What do you think you're doing?" she said, a little grouchy.
"Do you want to end up in an orphanage or maybe a boarding school?" She shook her head, "I thought so." I said. "You'll stay with us tonight until things calm down and tomorrow morning we'll go bail you out. Tim are you okay back there?"
"Yes." He was still scared to death. I stepped on the pedal and headed for home, not with one kid but two now.
Arrived home with the two, I helped them out of the car.
"Tim, can you manage to get to your room?"
"Yea-yeah."
I had to take care of Destinee. Poor girl had been through too much in one night.
"Destinee." I called out.
She sat in the back seat staring blankly. Or so I thought. She had fainted. I tried to pick her up. I could feel her head burning. She was sick.
I carried her to my room. I laid her on the bed and took her temperature. She clearly had a pretty bad cold.
I took care of her all night. I can see her hand almost half cut off. The bandage was full of blood, so I changed it. How can a child hurt herself so badly? I fell asleep for a couple hours. In the morning she woke up screaming.
"Hey, it's okay, you're safe. Breathe with me." She's shaking.
"What am I doing here?" That was all she said. I explained that last night she passed out in the car but her only response was "Hm.."
"I'm going to get you something to eat ok?"
I left to the kitchen.
"Good morning, Master Bruce. How does our guest feels today?"
"Morning, Alfred. She is scared to death. She woke up screaming. I-I just..."
"She is with Talia. Far away from here."
"How can that woman be so cruel. Taking away the child she didn't wanted. My child."
I returned to the bedroom with a tray full of food. Destinee was gone. The window was wide open.
