The next morning Bruce woke up on the couch and a very angry Selina towering over him. He groaned and rolled over to which Selina responded by opening the curtain so the bright sunlight could shine through. He groaned rather loudly and tried to cover his face but Selina took the pillow.
"Sit up." He looked up at her and saw she was serious. He rolled over and sat up straight on the couch.
"What?"
"What do you mean what? What the hell was that last night?"
"Look I was mad-,"
"You weren't mad, Bruce. You were pissed. Why?"
"Selina, I don't want you to stress."
"I am beyond stressed right now. Just fucking tell me!" Bruce got up and pushed past her to go close the doors. He turned around and took in a breathe.
"Taylor and Camilla were in an accident." Selina remained calm and said lowly,
"What happened?"
"They boarded their flight and right after take off the engine started to fail. They went down into the harbor and as of right now they don't know where they are. They found the plane but everyone on board is missing." Selina stood their with her mouth hanging open. "Gordon said he would get back to me as soon as possible if they have any leads but so far nothing."
"Do you think-,"
"I know. Who else? He was at the wedding. I knew I should've followed her. I could've caught him and none of this would be happening."
"Bruce, this isn't your fault."
"If only I would've-,"
"What? What could you have possibly done?!" Bruce thought about it for a minute and didn't know. He opened the doors and went to the kitchen where everyone was having their morning breakfast.
"Look who decided to grace us with his presence," Jason said.
"Okay I'm going to tell you something and you need to be quiet and not jump to any conclusions." Everyone became quiet and timid. "Don't run out or do anything extreme."
"Bruce, what the hell is it?" Dick said.
"Last night Camilla and Taylor's plane went down."
"How the hell-?"
"Are you ser-?"
"How could that hap-?"
"Is there any-."
"SHUT UP!" Everyone became silent again. "As of right now we know nothing . That's why I did what I did last night. My actions are inexcusable but I felt scared. My daughter is missing the day after her wedding. We have no leads. I don't want you all going out to try and find her. When I get information I will tell you all. I need you to continue your day as is. I'm going to need to issue a statement." Bruce left the kitchen while everyone sat there eating their breakfast in silence. Selina followed him back to their room.
"Do you want me with you?" Bruce started to undress, taking his dress shirt off and throwing it on the bed.
"Do you want to?"
"I'm your fiancé. Of course." He walked into the bathroom and shut the door. She wanted to be in there with him but thought best to stay away. Selina went into their joint closet and picked out a white dress and some black heels. She saw her bump stick out in the dress and knew that the press will have a field day picking out their topics. First she's pregnant, then she's engaged, and his daughter is missing with her wife. God Bruce is going to have a field day.
When Bruce got out he changed into something that would match Selina. When they walked downstairs it was oddly quiet which made Bruce anxious. He looked around the bottom floor and saw none of the kids. He knew that was bad. He opened and went down into the bat cave and saw all his kids.
"Why can't you just take that part of town?" Dick asked.
"Because I'm wanted down there." Todd said.
"Where aren't you wanted?" Drake said. Todd hit him upside the head causing Drake to push him.
"Knock it off." They both stopped but Todd shoved him one last time causing Grayson to glare at them.
"Are we really going to go behind Bruce's back?"
"Cam is missing which means something is up. Plus the Joker showed his face so we know it's not good. We have to hurry before Bruce finds out," Grayson said putting his mask on.
"He already did." Everyone turned to face him. Grayson didn't even bother turning around. He instead ignored him and went straight for his bike.
"Grayson!" Bruce tried to call after him. "Don't do it!" Grayson turned around and stomped towards Bruce.
"And who's gonna stop me?" Bruce knew he couldn't. He instead watched Dick get on his bike and ride off.
"If you want to go look for her, just fucking go," he said in defeat. He turned around and walked back to Selina and left to give the statement.

"My daughter was taken along with her wife on the Bahamas flight that went down last night." Bruce took a deep breathe, trying not to loose it. "I just want to say to whoever took them I will pay anything. I will pay everyone's ransom. Please give my daughter back," he said his voice shaking. Bruce could feel himself let go and knew this is what Joker wanted. To see him break in front of everyone. Selina stood there by his side with tears in her eyes. She rubbed his back and wiped her tears trying to not loose it.
Meanwhile the bat kids were out in Gotham trying to look for her. They checked every corner and hidden place in Gotham and found nothing.
"Where the hell could they be?" Nightwing said. They were all meeting on top of some random roof in Gotham. Hood was looking
