In an evening of celebration and to confuse Gotham, Althea blew up Wayne Enterprises and Maroni's club. Of course Batman showed up with Nightwing and Batgirl. Helena taking the purple bat suit over was now shocker she was Bruce with tits. After the goons were knocked out or ran Jeremiah went to get the car and Batman scowled,

"Of all nights Althea, you do it when father is handling enough. Have you no respect for those who showed you unconditional love?"

Althea cackled at the vigilante and side eyed him as she turned to leave,

"Bruce's love has always been conditional. I'm not feeling terrible for bombing a man's business who tossed me aside a lost cause as a child."

Damien's eyes softened they didn't know. He took the cowl off much to Helena's distain,

"No, it's Selina. She's sick, Ivy can't find anything to help her. It's cancer."

Batgirl growled,

"She need know nothing about my mother."

Althea glared at Helena and took her down in a swift motion pointing one of her pistols at the older woman's temple.

"Fuck you very much Miss.Wayne you rarely spent any time with your mother growing up. I hung with her. She taught me the art of being a cat burglar. She taught me how to spot knock offs and fake jewelry. She took me shopping... she she listened. Where is she? A hospital? The manor?"

Damien sighed,

"I should take you in Althea but I won't tonight. Selina would love to see you I'm sure. Helena we will go continue patrolling. Al I don't want to see you or your boyfriend in my home at dawn, clear?"

Althea nodded jumping into her Escalade with Jeremiah driving,

"Wayne Manor, we aren't going home just yet."

Althea walked unsure of her self to the large front door of the manor. She squeezed Jeremiah's hand and rapped her knuckles and waited.

Alfred walked up and opened the door wondering who could be knocking so late. Seeing Althea before him he froze,

"Miss Althea, what a shock seeing you here. What do we owe the pleasure?"

Althea couldn't help herself and pulled the elderly man in for a hug.

"I wanna see kitty. I hear she's sick."

Alfred nodded, "Yes, Master Bruce is making sure she has the best doctors to fight this. Come in, she would have us all by the hair if I didn't bring you in to see her."

Althea and Jeremiah followed Alfred in and up the stairs to the master bedroom where the young couple could hear Selina's sultry voice,

"Bruce if you don't stop hovering I'm going to kill you. Let me breathe!"

Althea grinned, still as feisty as ever. Alfred knocked,

"Miss Selina, you have a surprising visitor."

Bruce opened the door and Selina grinned as she saw green pigtails,

"My Alley Cat!?! Oh get in here!!!"

Althea heard the enthusiasm in her voice and bounced in the room with a grin and relief.

"I would have came sooner but nobody told us! I'm sure my mom and Ivy would appreciate knowing Bruce, regardless of your feelings they are all friends. You're selfish as fuck and stubborn to boot."

Althea hopped into bed with her granny kitty and hugged her tight as Selina laughed at Bruce's stunned silence,

"Go have a cup of tea with Alfred and Jeremiah, this is girl time."
