"How is everyone today!" Tony greeted everyone at breakfast the next morning, he was the last one to walk in.

He got various replies stemming from happy Good Mornings, to mehs, all depending on the morning people and the night people.

"Did you decide what we're doing today!?" Peter asked excitedly, really wanting to see the city of Gotham for what it is.

"I did," Tony answered, and knew he would have to keep talking as Peter looked at him with wide and hopeful eyes. "As long as the other boys agree to it and will be our guide then we will go and see Gotham," Tony answered as he looked towards the four boys, but before any of them could respond Thor did.

"We could give the Man of Iron and his charges company as we to explore this fine city!"

"I wouldn't mind seeing the city," Bruce agreed, as did the others.

"Sure. We don't mind showing you all around," Tim said with a shrug.

"Just please stay with us and don't go exploring on your own and follow the simple rules," Dick asked nicely and this had the others looking at him with curious eyes.

"What kind of rules?" Natasha asked.

"Don't pick up any stray cats without asking one of us first. Try to avoid crime alley, lest you get robbed. On that subject, we're going to do our best to avoid the slums of Gotham as well. Last is just to avoid any fights that break out, the villains here don't take too kindly to any capes that aren't the bats," Jason told them as he looked at his brothers to see if he forgot anything.

"I think that's it. I mean you know more than the basic tourist, that's for sure," Tim said, laughing at his joke, the other bats laughing as well.

"The car is ready whenever you are Masters," Alfred spoke letting them know that they can go after Breakfast.

It was when they were in the car that the four secretive bats started talking to themselves. "Think this would be a good time to introduce Seline?" Jason asked.

"Last we saw her was at the funeral. She was really beaten up about it. Do you think she'd want to even see us?" Tim asked.

"She loves us. She might still be sad about Bruce, but she wouldn't want to remove herself from our lives completely," Dick answered.

"I don't see why we should bother her with this," Damian said with his arms crossed.

"He's just upset cause he wants everyone to meet Talia first," Jason commented.

"I am the birth son. My mother should be the first one to be introduced," Damian fought, but Dick intervened, but Bruce loved Talia the most. He was going to marry her. I'll give her a call later and maybe we can meet for lunch."

"Agreed," Jason and Tim said as Damian huffed.

"Care to share?" Tony asked.

"We were wondering if we could meet someone for lunch. We think that if she's up to it then she would love to meet you," Dick answered in the perfect phrasing to not give to much away about what they were planning.

"Sure! I'm doing my best to get to know you all more so meeting someone who is important to all of you will be my pleasure," Tony said with excitement, he was however good to take a quick look at Peter to see if he was doing okay. He promised the kid a day just them two and he was going to make good on it.

Once they actually made it into the city Tony was in awe.

"Bring back memories," Steve asked.

"It's still the same old shitty Gotham, yet it looks like it's been updated," Tony answered and as they passed certain places Tony had a feeling Alfred was driving past his favorite places on purpose.

"That's the park I would run away to when Bruce and I got into a fight," Tony said as the avengers looked at the small broken down park in interest.

"Lovely restaurant we would go to as kids and how the old lady who ran it loved us. Sometimes she would even give us free drinks even though she knew we could afford it," Tony said and as everyone took a look at him they saw his eyes glazed over and could tell he was lost in memory.

They saw a few more places, and even got out of the car and walked around a few blocks before everyone decided that they were hungry.

"I'm gonna go and make a call really quick," Dick said as he walked away from the current place the avengers were looking at.

"Be quick and be safe!" Tony yelled as Jason followed his brother.

"Dick! It's good to hear from you," Selina said from the phone.

"Hi, Selina! How are you holding up since the funeral?" Dick asked, knowing it was going to be an emotional question.

"I'm still not as good as I could be, but I am doing better. I'm sorry that I just left you boys alone, but you know if you ever need me you just have to call me" Selina spoke.

"Are you up for some lunch? We have some news that we should probably update you on and a few people you're going to want to meet," Dick asked her.

"Is it Bruce's brother that Barbara told me about?" Selina asked.

"When did Babs talk to you?"

"Yesterday I think and of course I would love to meet them. Give me a few minutes to get ready and send me the address, I'll meet you there soon," She said as the two said their goodbyes.

"Is she coming?" Jason asked.

"Yeah. Said she'd meet us there."

"Then let's tell others. I'm starving!" Jason said.

"You're always hungry," Tim pointed out as the two joined the group.

"Not the point!"Jason shouted at him, but Dick explained that the person was coming to meet them at the place before a fight between the two could start.

"Do we get to know who this person is?" Tony asked

"It's better if we introduce her in person. Trust me you're going to get to know her really well into the future," Jason assured him, but it just made Tony more worried.

The group soon settled on a place that wasn't too fancy but wasn't just fast food either for dinner.

"Will this be all of you?" The waitress asked.

"We have one more coming to join us, she's just running a little late," Tony told her as they were seated in a party room.

They didn't have to wait long for her to show up, and she was glad that her boys had already ordered her favorite drink for her, but she would have some news that would change that.

"Boys it's good to see all of you!" Selina said excitedly and she greeted them dressed in a loose dress that was mostly black, with some red and white thrown in, but it wasn't a fancy dress and was more every day. She was also wearing a pair of matching black boots that had heels on them to match the look.

"You must be Bruce's brother," Selina greeted Tony with a handshake.

"I would greet you the same way but the boys have yet to tell me who you are," Tony answered her grabbing her hand and shaking it.

"Sneaky ones them. My name's Selina Kyle," The woman answered as she took her seat with Tony on her left and Dick on her right.

"I'm sorry but I don't know your relationship to the boys or my brother," Tony spoke, trying to find out who this information is.

"For the boys I'm probably the closest and best mother figure they've had," She said until she heard a cough from Damian and fixed her statement, "well most of them. For Bruce. . .I was going to be his wife," She spoke the last part sadly as Tony got wide-eyed in realization.

"I'm sorry," Tony told her.

"Don't be. He was a good man to the very end. He would not regret how he died. Ah is that our waiter?" Selina asked as the white and black dressed man came towards their table.

"Excuse me but could you take this back and get me water instead? I'm afraid I can't have alcohol right now and the boys didn't know," Selina asked.

"Right away," the waiter answered as he grabbed her wine and left.

"You can't have alcohol? Since when?" Jason asked.

"Bruce and I were planning on telling you all, but he died before he could get a chance," She started to speak and slowly wrapping her hands around her stomach. "I'm pregnant. I just reached my 2nd trimester. We were going to tell you sooner but so much was happening and all of you had your own things to do and then Bruce died and I disappeared for a month afterward. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you earlier," She said as the avengers saw the bats in pure shock, but Dick was able to break out of it the quickest.

"Selina that's amazing!"

"Congratulation," Jason answered

"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?" Tim asked.

"I suppose another Wayne will do," Domain answered and although it sounded rude, Selina smiled knowing she had the youngest approval.

It's a female and Bruce and I decided on a name before he died. We had two picked out depending on the gender and her name is going to be Helena Wayne.

"This is very exciting news, but now that I know your relationship with the boys I was wondering if I could talk to you in private after we finish our lunch?" Tony asked.

"Of course," She answered as the waiter came back to take their order.

The whole group of bats and avengers talked for a whole two hours while eating their food before they made it out of the restaurant and plans were made to go back to the mansion and let everyone have some peace before dinner and then going to bed.

Once they were all out of the restaurant Tony sent everyone back to the car, happy that he was able to get Alfred and Happy to eat with them, as he went to talk to Seline.

"I know that your home is Gotham, but Bruce trusted his children to me. The first few nights were easy, but once we got back to Gotham everything went downhill and a talk with Jason made me realize that I really had no idea what I was doing. Will you please consider coming back to New York with us and helping me raise Bruce's kids. I'll pay for anything you need and if ever you want to go back to Gotham I will have that arranged as fast as I can. It's just that I can't do this by myself. I only had one kid and that was easy, but then four more who are all different are added to the equation and I'm trying my best to get my exfiancèe back, but it's just that I need all the help I can get with these four and they clearly don't trust me, but they trust you so will you at least consider it? Tony asked her.

"This is a lot and I know the boys will not want to leave Gotham. I imagine they already came up with a plan to stay?" She asked.

"Yeah! How'd you know?" Tony asked her.

"It's like you said I know them Here's my number text me what their plan is and I'll see what needs to be fixed and what I can help with. Those boys are smart, but they don't plan everything and it's like you said, you had one son before all of this. He's probably not used to sharing and you can't forget to give him attention as well. You have a good head on your shoulders, Tony," Selain ended her speech by walking away, already telling the boys bye, "I can't wait to start parenting with you!"

It was when he was back in the car that he realized how tired he was, "Alfred Happy bring us back to the mansion please." Tony said as the two answered in their own ways.

'Selina was right. I can't forget to give Peter attention. Tomorrow it's going to be just me and him," Tony thought to himself.
