Before the woman could speak she was interrupted by Bruce " Rachel!" he happily greeted the woman who smiles " whose this?" referring to the young girl upon the stairs, Bruce looks over to see Yara awake. A wave of relief washes over his body " Rachel, this is Yara. Yara, Rachel." He introduced each other. " She's the reason why you've disappeared?" Rachel asks slightly frowning, " my father use to friends with Bruce, after he passed away Bruce took me here and taught me to learn English. I apologies for the inconvenience, as my father would say that's not a gentleman like at all."   

" Where are you from?" 

" Arabia." 

Rachel slightly smiles " you're lucky to have someone like Bruce." saying now turning her attention back grabbing something from her purse handing it to Bruce " you aren't staying?" He asks taking the small box from her, " unlike you Bruce, some of us have work." She was interrupted by her phone ringing  grabbing her phone from her bag answering it" Rachel Dawes here." 

" What do you mean? you mean right now? Get doctor Crane down there now, and I'll meet him there." She says in a rush putting her phone away " what's wrong?" Bruce says with a frown, " Falcone is in Akrum on suicide watch, " she answered, " be careful" Bruce says in a demanding tone, Rachel nods her head rushing out to her car. 

Bruce quickly opens his present, a faint smile across his face. Yara walks over to him " what are we going to do?" she asks, " your staying here" he answered running past the maids, rolling her eyes following after him. " Bruce! You can't make me stay here!" she declared. Alfred from the kitchen follows the two " sir the guest will be arriving soon" Alfred reminded him, " you two keep them busy until I get back." 

" I'm going," she says getting in front of Bruce who sighs heavily, cupping her face " Yara, you aren't coming with me, last time you went alone you've almost died. I can't let that happen again" staring directly at her. " I am NOT going to lose you, understand. I know you want to help, you can't help on this one." 

" Fine." 

" I'll make it up to you. Go help Alfred" he says kissing her head walking past her opening the door behind the kitchen disappearing. 

Alfred and Yara look at each other " no need to worry about Master Wayne, he can handle himself. Let's get the party ready for the guests." 

Past 15 minutes  Yara felt someone was staring at her, shaking her head continued to help with Alfred arranging the tables. Suddenly everyone began to sing happy birthday, her eyes lighten up turning around seeing Bruce in the distance. 

Before she could even get to Bruce someone steps in front of her bumping into one another " I'm sorry, I've should've paid attention" an older boy apologise looking down at Yara, the older boy wore a black long trench coat, a black scarf, and underneath he wears a simple full black tuxedo.

She shakes her head feeling her hands becoming sweaty " it-'s it's fine" she mutters in a low voice. " Just breath" he instructed her, everything around her slowly became slow, somethings wrong. She noticed some people are out of place as if they do not belong here, the voices around her became like a tunnel, she couldn't hear anyone. 

Bruce walks over to Fox " oh, and, thank you for that item" saying in a low voice, Fox glances over to Bruce " your welcome, hope you put it to good use." 

Bruce nods " I have" saying with a smile, " how long will it take to manufacture on a large scale?" 

" Weeks why?"

" Somebody's planning to disperse the toxin using the water supply." 

Fox shakes his head " whats the black water for dispersing inhaling..." 

" What?" 

" Unless you have a microwave emitter powerful enough to vapour house all of the water mains as a microwave emitter like the one Wayne Enterprises just misplaced" 

Bruce's eyes widen " misplaced?" 

" Well, just fired enough asking too many questions about it." 

Bruce glances around the crowd looking back at Fox " I need you to go back to the lad and make as much antidote as you can. I think the police is going to need as much as they can get their hands on, ok" Bruce says nodding. As Bruce turned his heel " my securities clearance has been revoked." 

Bruce looks at Fox " well, that won't stop like a man like you now would it?" 

" I suppose not." 

Bruce spotted Yara near, as he walks towards her a woman walks over " Bruce, come here. I want you to meet someone." 

" Uh, not now. I need to see somebody important." The woman dragging him with her, Bruce went to turn his heel " now, am I pronouncing this right? Mr Ra's Al Ghul?"
