Thread: Young Stephanie and Bruce Wayne
Who: young!Stephanie and Bruce Where: The Batcave When: Late Afternoon, Saturday What: TBC Rating: TBC
Steph had been in their care for about six months and in that six months she'd been very quiet and stuck to herself. She went to school and she came back to Wayne Manor to help Alfred and train with the Bat Family. They'd taken her Spoiler costume and gadgets away from her citing that she didn't need them anymore because she was one of them, but she was always the one that was left alone in the manor at night whilst they saved the city and everything, she was the one that had to just sit and listen whilst they boasted about their triumphs- that was more the younger guys, Mister Wayne didn't do that. He was quiet like Steph, he just watched.
She'd broken Dicks nose yesterday in a spar and he'd sent her to her room in punishment, as unfair as it was Steph had said absolutely nothing and gone upstairs as instructed. Dick hadn't blocked her punch and it had connected well, that's all that had happened and she'd been punished for that. She'd spent her entire Friday night and all of her Saturday so far up there ignoring the calls for breakfast and lunch.
But as the hours ticked on Alfred came up and announced that Mr Wayne had asked her to join him in the 'basement'. So Stephanie had followed Alfred silently down the many flights of stairs and into the Batcave once he'd mad ensure Stephanie was down there he announced he was going to task Master Grayson and Master Drake to the movies and that they'd be back later that evening. Steph had to admit she was a little hurt that she wasn't invited but she said nothing and it barely showed. Stephanie was getting used to being a loner in a house full of people, she was the odd Bat out.
She sat silently on the mats staring at the floor and waiting for Mister Wayne. Most kids her age would wander and touch things, not Stephanie. She respected Mr Wayne and the Batman too much to do such a thing and it wasn't in her nature to be a brat.
