Batman's daughter

Chapter 1

I was currently sitting on my jet in midair coming back from Los Angeles where I had to attend conferences. I had my laptop up and running, on the table in front of me. My work phone, which was a white iphone4s with a black case with the Wayne Enterprise symbol printed on the cover, sitting beside the laptop. I was served champagne, and a bowl of strawberries.

Even though I am only 17, being a CEO it was forgotten by most of my age, and when I attend conferences I just sipped on champagne or wine they gave me. I didn't fuss, nor did I drink more than a few sips. I leant back in my leather seat, enjoying a fresh strawberry as I glanced out the plane window to see clouds.

I felt my personal phone vibrate in my blazer pocket, as I opened it, to see it was from Gordon. Backstreet, 21:00 - Important, I looked at the text he sent before I opened up my phone and began to type my response. Falcon. That was all I would respond, so he knew I got the message. Also I had programmed his phone so when he saw the text, my message would be deleted, so no one knew we were in contact.

I got a new email from Fox, I had him spy on Mr. Earle while I was away or out of office. I knew he wanted my job, he was never going to get it. My name, my company and I wouldn't let a snake like that get a piece of it. He has been trying to get the company to go public, which I keep refusing, and I knew when I arrived back in the office for the meeting he would be pushing the other members to agree with him.

He knew I'd lose if it was all of them against me. Though I guess I could fire him, but that wouldn't be right. Besides he is good at his job which makes it all the more annoying. I've really wanted to get Fox back on the board, everything was so much smoother with him by my side and not having Mr. Earle against me.

As we came in for landing in Gothom, I was shocked and slightly surprised when Alfred wasn't there to visit me or pick me up. I wondered where he would have gone? I was slightly disappointed I would have loved to have seen him, though I doubt he would have just left for no reason. I was guided to my limo, were I slid into the leather seats.

"Wayne Enterprise please Jason" I smiled, as he nodded.

"Yes ma'am" Jason was the company driver. I got on well with him, and occasionally had him when Alfred couldn't drive me somewhere, though that happened rarely. Jason and I were in high school together and I knew he was currently studying engineering at University. He wanted a job so I offered and he was happy to take it.

"How's the family?" I asked him as I looked up from my phone to see him smirk slightly from the mirror. I chuckled as I brushed my brown side fringe from my eyes.

"Martin wants to try and get into Business, when he graduates" Jason smiled as I chuckled shaking my head.

"Dreadful, Business" I teased as Jason chuckled with me. Martin was his younger brother, I remember I helped babysit Martin with Jason when we did our school projects together. His family was always very welcoming, he informed me about what Gothom had been up to for the week I had been away, but otherwise it was rather a quiet ride.

He pulled into the driveway of Wayne Enterprise, as he opened the door for me. I smiled thanking him, as I made my way inside the building, my heels clicking against the floor. He secretary in the lobby stood up when I entered.

"Good afternoon Miss. Wayne" She smiled as I smiled and nodded back as I made my way up to my office, where I noticed my own secretary Sarah wasn't there. I raised an eyebrow and walked into my office, smiling at the view, loving being back as I picked up the files that rested on my desk. In my bottom draw, I unlocked it to find a new sticky note as I smirked.

Package, home delivered by yours truly - Fox. I chuckled before I shredded the sticky note and locked the bottom draw once more. I still didn't see Sarah on my way out as I made my way back downstairs where Jason stood with the door open for me to take me home. I could feel my body wanting sleep from jetlag as I rode in the limo quietly, as we came up to the familiar sight of home.

"Thank you Jason" I smiled as he opened the door for me.

"Very good ma'am" He told me seriously, as he shut the door behind me and went to grab my bags from the back of the limo, as I held my blazer over my right arm, and my handbag in my left. I glanced up at Wayne Manor and smiled, I was home. Though I was still slightly confused that Alfred wasn't here.

I pulled out my keys and unlocked the door as Jason placed my bags inside. I smiled at him, and pulled out a fifty winking.

"Thanks Jason" I smiled as he chuckled and titled his limo hat and made his way back to the limo. I stayed in the doorway watching as he drove away and the gates locked closed behind him. I locked the door behind me, as I made my way towards the grandfather clock near the grand staircase, as I placed my thumb over the six.

The scan recognized my finger as the clock moved, and I entered the lights above me turned on as I heard the clock seal shut. I walked into the clear room, where my computers all stood in front of me as I smiled. As I walked the cage holding my catwoman outfit rose from the floor, and my gadgets came out from the wall on shelves as I smiled.

I walked to my new outfit as I smirked to see a note on the outfit as I laughed inside. New adjustments, you might want to read the manual first -Fox. I chuckled as I scrunched up the note and few it behind me. I has asked Fox for a new adjustments to my outfit whilst I had been Los Angeles. I made my way and sat at my computer as the massive screens came to life.

From the security cameras I could see Alfred's car pulling in through the front gates as I smiled, and took the lift that hide behind one of the walls in my massive closet. I threw my blazer onto my bed as I made it out of my room to make my way through the halls.

"Mistress Wayne?" Alfred called out as I chuckled coming down a set of stairs.

"Alfred, you haven't called me that since Bruce was alive, you make me feel like he's coming back from the dead" I chuckled as I came round the corner and froze at the top of the stairs to what it was I was seeing. I saw Bruce standing their smiling at me, he was muddy as I couldn't breathe.

"Hello Peg" He smiled as I stayed frozen.

*Bruce Pov*

"Alfred, you haven't called me that since Bruce was alive, you make me feel like he's coming back from the dead" I heard the soft voice calling out with a chuckle as I looked up to see my daughter freeze at the top of the stairs. She had grown up beautiful, her long brown hair was pulled back in a high ponytail. She had the brownest eyes I have ever seen, her features in her face made her beauty even more perfect.

She wore a white blouse, with the sleeves rolled up, and black pants with high heels. She looked at me numb as I smiled up at her. I could see Alfred in the corner of my eye gulping. What is to be nervous about?

"Hello Peg" I smiled up at her, but she stayed frozen. This made my frown, as I glanced at Alfred. Eventually she began to move down the stairs, her movement looked stiff and forced as I raised an eyebrow. I was expecting her to maybe hug me but I was gifted with something stronger. A massive SLAP! Echoed throughout the house as I just held my cheek as she looked at me furious.

"My name is Poppy!" She hissed through clenched teeth before she disappeared, followed by the sound of a roaring engine outside, as I saw her leave in a convertible red Ferrari. I turned to Alfred shocked, as I saw he was trying hard to hide his laugh as I just looked shocked.

"What did I do?" I asked him as he sighed and looked at me as if I hadn't any idea.

"You've been gone for seven years sir. She had to take up Wayne Enterprise, she lost her childhood and grew to hate you. You never where the father she hoped for sir" Alfred told me bluntly as I just nodded. It was true, I was never there for her, I tried my very hardest to avoid Poppy whenever I could and now it has come back to haunt me.

"She hates me" I whispered numbly still staring on after her as I heard Alfred sigh before his footsteps seemed to retreat as I was glued to the floor staring on after my daughter. I was going to work hard to try and fix the broken bond between us…
