For weeks, Tabitha had to deal with not having her lightning ability at its full potential. It pained her to not work on any of the upgrades of either station however the other League members understood completely. Whenever she fought crime, she had to remind herself that her lightning was useless; it forced her to depend fully on her super strength and speed. She debated on simply remaining Monitor.
Bruce saw that she was a bit depressed and wanted to cheer her up; he knew that if she found out what he did, he would be in the doghouse for a long time! He smiled when she heavily sighed at his gift however he knew that it would eventually put a smile on her face.
"Hey! Wait... what's wrong?" the professor asked. Tabitha slightly sighed over the phone as she made her way to Wayne Enterprises.
"... He bought me a gift..."
"Oh... okay..."
"I don't want it..."
"Well, then... don't accept it; what is it? Wait... how much did it cost is what I should ask!"
"A little over a mil..." she knew that she would receive dead silence from the other end. Tabitha rolled her eyes and huffed.
"......... Can I have it, then?!"
"Doc..."
"Seriously; what the hell would cost that much and you not want it?!"
"A car. A fucking car; why would a car cost so damn much?!"
"What did he buy you, a Bugatti?!?!"
"A... what? No. It's called a Hennessey Venom..."
"...... HE BOUGHT YOU A VENOM?! Jesus... do you wanna switch places?! Cuz, I think I can be the super heroine and you be the damn professor!"
"Materialistic bitch..."
"Yes!" her response made both women laugh, "You gotta come get me in it! You seriously don't like it...?"
"... Okay... I don't like how much he paid for it. But... it handles curves like a pro! And, it's my favorite color..."
"... You're in it now, aren't you...? You're sitting there, bitching and moaning, doing a hundred miles through the streets!!"
"... Sixty-eight..."
"Don't call me no more..." the professor hung up, making Tabitha laugh fully. She slightly blushed as the valet simply gawked at her new car when she finally made her way to the building.
"Miss... Miss Lyght..." he stammered as she handed him the keys.
"Mr. Wayne will have your ass if there's a scratch on it..."
"Y-Yes, ma'am..."
When she thought about it, she actually liked the way people in Gotham treated her for the most part. They knew that she was about to be Mrs. Tabitha Wayne and no one wanted to cross her in fear of getting on Bruce's bad side. She wasn't going to act the part of the privileged wife of a multibillionaire... but the thought that she could made her smile. She kept her smile as she lightly knocked on Bruce's office door and let herself in. He gave her a playful look as he stood from his desk, coming across the room to greet her.
"What if I was in a meeting...?"
"I'm Bruce Wayne's fiancée... I got rights!" she laughed and gave him a kiss, "Besides, you're the one who called me and told me to come by!"
"Hmm... you're in a better mood... you drove the Venom, didn't you..." he looked at her. Tabitha blushed.
"... Yeah..."
