"Whats on this," her finger nails pointing to the chip. "its not what you think. You'll be putting not only my brothers but all of Gotham in danger."
The three of them looked confused and Dick asks, "Danger? What do you-"
"Do you even know what is on this?" Asks Novena looking to Bruce. "Do know why it is-was locked away?"
"No." He shakes his head "But I have a feeling what ever is on it is very important to people-"
"I think we had better start at the beginning, sister." Said Nikola "Their mortal minds won't be able to comprehend if we start out of order."
With a sigh, Novena swallowed and crossed her legs together tightly."Gotham City wasn't always a city. It was sand and home to Adom and Rashida. Along with his brother, Khan and many others. Adom and Rashida ruled Gotham. With Adom as pharaoh. Rashida begged the gods for a child. Adom with his selfish heart wanted an heir, Rashida just wanted someone to love, for her love for pharaoh had vanished over the years."
"The queen named the children, Ramses and Rania. The gods gave them gifts as an apology to Rashida for Adoms lack of love. The gift of strength and nobility went to Ramses and empathic along with the ability to give and take away not only emotional but physical pain to Rania. They were also blessed with beauty that made the other gods jealous. Especially the greek gods." Said Nikola "Rashida was to never feel unloved again with the twins by her side."
Gotham 365 BC
"Father is grooming you brother. With our twenty one birthday nearing, you will be next in line soon." Said Rania running her fingers through her hair "It pleases you does it not?"
"Yes and no. As soon as I am given Egypt and the crown, dear Uncle Khan shall suffer my rath."
"Rath? Whatever for, brother?" Her body turns to him as he leaned on her bed. "Has he angered you?"
"No. He has angered our mother, sister." Ramses said gritting his teeth. "I heard them yelling last night. I do believe his intentions as advisor to father are questionable." His eyes look up as Rania walks over to him
"Calm yourself." She soothed "Do not be consumed. You are beginning to sound like me." Rania giggled
"Sister of mine, do you feel loved by our father? Do you feel that he cares for you? Us?"
"Ramses," Rania began licking her bottom lip and cocking her head to the side. "I feel that father...he's just occupied. He rules over Gotham he is pharaoh over an empire. What love could you not get from that?"
"Perhaps you are right. Forgive me...my mind is just scattered a bit. The empire I am one day to rule, the process I mean its just a lot." said Ramses with a small laugh, rubbing his head
"I could ease your uncomfort if you wish?" She suggests reaching out her hand to touch him.
"Ramses! Rania!" Their mother shouted walking into the room. "Prepare yourselves. Khan will introducing some eligibles from all over. I want you both looking better than beauty itself " she grinned touching there smooth faces
"I am the definition of it mother." Rania says walking towards the mirror admiring herself . "If a man wants all of me then he must earn me. Shouldn't he? I will not stand before them as some sort of painting-"
"Ramses, remind your sister why we do this?" Rashida commanded bringing in some servants.
"Mother I think you are missing her point." Sighed Ramses rolling his eyes. "From my own eyes I have seen the way the men look at her with lust filled eyes. Focus the eye on her breasts than her face, look upon her body as if it is something to conquer. My sister is more than what she seems."
The servants continued to pamper them and Rania only nodded, agreeing with her brother.
"What do you think of the eligibles for your brother, Rania?" She asks
"I think they have good intentions. Some I mean. They show to much skin and have no class. Whores at a brothel is what you are bringing for my brother?" she snickers rolling her eyes pursing her lips. "You might as well give him some lonely thirteen year old girl. I will not let some unclean whore sit next to my brother or allow her to call me sister." Rania sneered "If you or father allow that you find her head on a spike and her skin as a scratching posts for the cats."
"Overreacting?" Rashida says with a snort laughing nervously.

"Look, this is a great story and all but what about Khan?"
"Mr. Grayson," Novena says, "patience?"
With a sigh she pursed her lips and continued, "Khan did indeed want the crown and rule over all the land. That night when the eligibles showed, the twins conjured a plan to prove Ramses was right. When it proved it to be true, Adom and Rashida prayed to the gods for guidance and help."
"The gods are nothing but fair. The Adomsons were a dynasty they saw could go on for generations." Nikola said. "They all swore to never betray one another and the time of the Adomsons would never die."
"A war was going to start, and Khan along with his many followers would not back down. So, the gods blessed the family with invulnerability and youthfulness so when the war was over, Gotham would still be theirs to rule until the end of time."
"Just as the war ended, Rashida found out she was with child. She was the first to betray by sleeping with one of the servants. And Gotham fell. Displeased, the gods layed waste to the land killing all and left to look at it all were the Adomsons." Novena shared, moving around in her seat. "Rashida took the twins and her new born who she had named Akar and they fled to what you call now, Bulgaria."
Novena stopped as she looked up. The tension build up was suffocating. Bruce, Dick and Damian had about figured out what was going on. They were just waiting for the part about the chip to come into play.
"Adom was infuriated by the betrayal of his children, wife and loss of his kingdom, he dismissed the Egyptian Gods and called upon Aphrodite. She was considered the most beautiful god and was jealous of the twins Rashida bore. For their true beauty was so powerful, it could turn a man into stone." Said Nikola taking a hold of his sisters hand as she took another breath. "Her husband, Hephaestus weilded a dagger that could kill them all."
"Rashida was hiding in Bulgaria and changed the names of her children so they matched society. Akar was named Atanas and Rania and Ramses dissmissed their own names, being dubbed Nikola and Novena Ivanov." Nikola finished looking to the three.
"Mother told us that since Gotham fell, it meant that so did we. We weren't royalty but people of Bulgaria" Her lips curved into a smile.
"Thats an origin story. That would mean your over a thousand years old." Damian said making the two laugh.
"Yes." Nikola nods "After a while we stopped counting. There are only so many birthdays you can indulge."
"Only in Gotham." Dick mumbled taking a sip of his drink.
"Finish the story. How does my father come into this and you stealing this from Wayne Enterprises." Bruce cuts in.
"Perhaps we should take a break. Catch our breaths before we get back to it. Some food?" Suggested Novena, waving over a waiter. "Nik are you hungry?"
"Yes. Famished." He grins pulling at a menu
