Helena and Bruce are talking about everything and Bruce is getting angry.
"So we cool, cause I don't like it when we have secrets," Helena says looking at her dad
"No more secrets, but no we have a conflict, WHY DIDNT YOU COME TO ME IF SOMEONE IS BULLYING YOU!!!" Bruce yelled
"Stop yelling at me!" Helena yelled covering her ears crying.
"IM NOT- I'm not yelling at you." Bruce says catching himself.
"Look how long has this been going on?"
"A few weeks. Months actually."
"What!?! You haven't said anything to me for months. What did think it would just stop!"
"Yeah, I did, but it's getting worst. It used to be verbal, then it was mental, and now it's just flat out physical."
"What do you mean?"
Helena sighed and pulled her sweater of showing Bruce her black and blue bruises, Bruce's eyes widened as he runs his fingers down her back and arms.
"Ow!" Helena says quietly to herself
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't notice it."
"It's not your fault daddy, really it's not."
Bruce grabs her and highs her really tight, a tear rolling down his face. Helena is shocked but hugs him back
"I love Helena."
Helena is wide eyed because he never told her he loved her
"I love you too."
He lets her go and ask her a question
"Are you better now?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Good that's good, DADDY'S GIRL!" Bruce yells
"Stop saying, people shouldn't make fun of other people what did I ever do to you?!?!" Helena gets up and clenches her fist in front of her walking away from him
"You exist, you exist and your weird and you get in the way of where I'm standing so stop being weird and stop being happy, no one should be as happy as you are, stop being who you are or I'm gonna put my foot in your weird, stupid face!" Helena says breaking down crying falling to her knees, cupping her face.
"Okay." Bruce says choking back tears kneeling down toward her.
"Daddy, I'm so sorry." Helena says sobbing
"Shhh, it's okay, your safe." Bruce says calming her down holding her.
"You know what's the difference between a conflict between a bully and a conflict between a loved one?"
"What?"
"Family is always there for you conflict or not."
"You're the worst bully ever daddy."
"Ha, yeah Daddy the bully not trying to strike fear into the hearts of others."
They hug it out and watch a movie.

Bryce never bothers Helena again, she still cuts her hair and goes to school.
Oh I forgot to mention Bryce was put in juvie for stealing and Helena became valedictorian in 8th grade and living happy with Bruce and Alfred, just being Helena Martha Grace Wayne.
