Dick sat at in his chair, smiling to himself as he remembered what happened earlier. Bruce sat next to him.

"What are you smiling so much about?" Bruce asked him.

"Did you know those villains, Skull and Rouge, aren't half bad gals?"

"How do you know that?"

"I ran into Skull, she didn't try to kill me. Turns out she doesn't want to be a villain."

"How is that even possible?" Bruce was officially now shocked and confused.

"She said because she's the daughter of a Villain she can't get a job which means Rouge and her have to steal their necessities and food to stay alive."

"Do you think we could help them?"

"I think we could."

They both thought of ways to help the girls. "you think they'll even accept our help?" Dick asked.

"I think they will if we're careful enough." Dick nodded in thought.

Casey had the paintings wrapped up and under her arm as she walked to the art store.

She had a smile on her face, She had finished 3 paintings in a few days. As she walked in she bumped into Bruce.

She looked up at him and smiled, "Hey!"

"hi, " Bruce chuckled as he held open the door for her.

"thank you, " Casey smiled as she walked inside. Casey walked towards the owner of the store.

The man took the paintings from her before laughing as he saw Bruce. "Mr. Wayne some paintings you ordered are here, " the man chuckled gesturing to the 3 paintings.

Casey's eyes widen. "You're the one who?" she breathed out.

"Mhmm," Bruce nodded, taking the paintings.

"Thank you, " she smiled.

He smiled back, "ok you two can be lovey-dovey later, " The man chuckled.

They both blushed. "oh it's not like that, " Casey said.

"Really? Tell the press that, " The man laughed gesturing to the magazine as he walked away.

Bruce and Casey looked at the magazine. 'Mysterious new Girlfriend? Bruce Wayne may have gotten himself a girl. Now, who's the country girl?' the magazine said.

Their eyes widen. "That was the other day, " Casey said with concern. "I have to go, " she said quickly as she left the store.

She ran back home. She slammed the door behind her as she flopped on her bed.

Glerys walked in, "did you know I almost had a heart attack when you slammed the door? What's wrong?" Casey told her everything. "And here I was thinking you already had a boyfriend!" Glerys smiled widely knowing that Casey was still a single pringle.

"No, " Casey sighed.

"Now I have to apologize. Fuck," Glerys sighed, "but what are you going to do about this?"

"I don't know."

Glerys sat down beside Casey and ran her fingers through her hair. Casey put her head on Glery's lap.

"Casey?" Glerys said.

"yes?"

"Do you think I should apologize to Bruce for threatening him?"

"Yes, but that's just me, do what you think is right."

"Ok.... Are you ever going to invite him over?"
