Chapter 25
Emma's POV *In Wayne Manor*
"Hi Barry!!" I yelled into the phone.
"...Heyy Emma," Barry replied cautiously.
"What happened?" I asked immediately.
"Well....we beat Mist," Barry started.
"That's great! How did you guys do it? Did you miss me being in your ear the whole time whispering safety precautions?" I joked.
"Oh yeah it was torture," Barry joked as well. He went on to explaining how they beat the Mist as Cisco cleverly named our suspect.
"So the guy's name is Kyle Nimbus. Seems fitting considering the way he is now," I said.
"Yeah, his name is like hinting at his powers. Barry Allen doesn't hint at anything at all," Barry pouted. As we spoke, I somehow ended up back in the Bat-Cave. Dick was watching me with amusement written on his face plain as day.
"Bartholomew, we need to take into account your whole name not just the part you like," I smiled into the phone.
"Yes...but Bartholomew Henry Allen doesn't exactly scream 'I got super-speed from the particle accelerator that devastated everything else'," Barry said.
"Nobody's name would coincide that well. Bartholomew Henry Allen seems like he would've been a poet from the seventeen hundreds. Not someone who is fast," I said teasing him even more.
"You're not helping," Barry pouted.
"Like one of those poets with the powdered wigs and the pot belly. And under the wig, he has a really bad beer belly along with a receding hairline," I continued.
"I don't have a receding hairline. You know that," Barry said sternly but in reality he was joking.
"Yeah yeah, whatever," I laughed.
"So how long are you going to be in Gotham?" Barry asked, changing the subject.
"You better. Also I don't know, let me ask," I said. I put my hand over the phone so Barry wouldn't hear and asked Dick. "Dick? How long do you think you and Bruce need me to be here to take care of Damian?" I questioned.
"I'm not sure but I'm hoping it's not too long. I'm only here for as long as you are. Bruce wants me here to protect you while you're out and about considering what happened the last time you were here...I'm guessing Bruce might want you here while he looks for Deathstroke. He doesn't want Damian to do anything rash. Even if he doesn't find Deathstroke in that time, he might send you back because we both have jobs to get back to. Both in the police force coincidentally," Dick smiled.
"Yeah but, you're a cop. You are out and about stopping all the bad guys. You're in the action. I'm a forensic scientist alongside my best friend, which is better by the way," I laughed.
"I have the more interesting job, you have the more comfortable and happy job," Dick summed up.
"Basically," I said before returning to my call with Barry. "Not too long. I didn't get an exact amount. That's what they said anyway," I said to Barry.
"Oh, okay. I was hoping you would be back quickly because Felicity said she might visit us in a month. And I hope you're here when Felicity gets here," Barry said.
"I hope I'm there too. Anyway I'd better get going, they might need my help," I said once I saw Damian and Bruce enter the batcave.
"Bye Emma! I miss you!" Barry said enthusiastically.
"Bye Bare, I miss you too!!" I said equally as enthusiastically. I hung up while I approached the Dark Knight and the new Boy-Wonder. "The new and improved Boy Wonder. How do you like the suit Damian?" I questioned.
"Could be better. Grayson hasn't exactly got the best taste but after a few modifications, I might grow fond of it," Damian said.
"How does he already like you?!" Dick yelled from his seat at the bat-computer.
"I'm just likeable I guess," I explained to Dick.
"How do you like him?!?" Dick yelled once more.
"How can you not like that cute little face," I said putting my arm around Damian shoulders. He tensed up at first but relaxed. This kid was warming up to me quick, and I loved it. "...where did you get the sword?" I questioned.
"I gave it to him," Bruce said.
"Well then. Where did you get the sword?" I asked staying by Damian.
"That is a story for another time," Bruce said roughly. I knew the harshness in his voice wasn't intended for me so I smiled and nodded.
