A\N: Thank you to everyone who reviewed the first chapter, I didn’t know if people would like the story, but you have! I am so sorry updates are taking so long, college is driving me crazy at the minutes, so updates will be rare until July. A lot of you have PM me to ask if there will be a relationship between Dick and Vicki and the answer is yes, but it may not have a happy ending. At the end will be a preview of chapter 3, so enjoy!
Wayne Manor,
“Dad?” Dick asked again looking between Bruce and Victoria.
“This is Victoria, my daughter. Victoria, this is Dick Grayson, a friend of mine,” Bruce said his eyes not leaving his daughter’s.
“Nice to meet you Victoria,” Dick said stepping forward with an outreached hand.
Victoria raised her eyebrow in his direction. “I don’t do handshakes,” she said before returning her attention to Bruce.
“I didn’t know you had a daughter,” Dick said looking between Bruce and Victoria.
“No surprise there then. You never did want me,” Victoria snapped.
“That’s not true,” Bruce said shocked that his daughter even thought that.
“Then why have I been in boarding school for the last 12 years?” she asked.
Before Bruce had a chance to answer Alfred walked in.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t get the door Bruce,” he said.
“That’s alright Alfred, Dick got it,” Bruce said.
“You’d never believe who was at the door,” Dick said with a grin plastered on his face.
“Who?” Alfred asked.
“Hello Uncle Alfred,” Victoria said turning around.
“Victoria,” Alfred happily said as he opened his arms as the young girl rushed into them.
“I’m so happy to see you Uncle Alfred,” Victoria happily said.
“You too, my dear. You have grown into such a beautiful young lady since I last saw you,” he said with a smile.
“How long are you staying?” Bruce asked getting straight to the point.
“A week unless you don’t want me here,” Victoria said watching as both Dick and Alfred’s gazes went straight to Bruce.
“Of course you can stay,” he said quietly.
“I’ll make you some dinner,” Alfred said.
“Actually Alfred, I was just going to crash. I’m really tired, so I’ll see you all in the morning,” Victoria said picking up one of her bags.
“Here, let me help you,” Dick said picking up the remainder of the bags.
“Thank you,” Victoria said with a shy smile before walking out followed by Dick.
Bruce looked at Alfred. “What am I going to do with her Alfred?” he asked.
“This is the time to build bridges with her. Do not make her run away from you,” Alfred said before walking out.
Victoria’s room,
Victoria walked into her room followed by Dick.
“Wow, this room has not changed one bit,” she said eyeing the pink wallpaper, frilly bedcovers, teddy bears and dolls that were scattered around the room.
“Where do you want me to put this?” Dick asked indicating at the bags.
“I’ll take it,” Victoria said reaching out for the bags. Her fingers brushed against Dick, sending tingling sensations through both of their bodies.
“I should go do something,” Dick said his eyes not leaving Victoria’s. “Bye,” he said walking out and shutting the door behind him.
Victoria’s cell phone rang. “Hello, yeah. I told my dad I was tired and he fell for it. I’ll meet you there. Bye,” she said hanging up. She walked over to the window, flung it open and stepped out.
Bat-Cave,
Bruce and Dick were in the bat-cave talking.
“Why did you send her away?” Dick asked as he watched Bruce type into the computer.
“When her mother died, I didn’t know how to raise a baby. So, when she 6, I sent her to boarding school in England, where I’d thought she would be happy,” Bruce distantly said.
“Why has she never come home in twelve years,” Dick asked trying to get a better image of Victoria.
“She has always preferred to stay at school,” Bruce said.
Suddenly the Bat signal began to go off.
“Let’s go suit up,” Bruce said walking off followed by Dick.
A\N: Ok, that was still short, but the next chapter will be longer. Here is a preview of chapter 3.
“Where have you been all night?” Dick asked.
Victoria spun around and eyed Dick who was leaning against one of the garden rocks.
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” she said with a twinkle in her eye.
Dick walked over to her. “I’ll tell your father,” he warned.
“Go ahead, tell him,” Victoria said stepping close to Dick. “Like he’d care. Just leave me alone.”
“No," he replied before grabbing her around the waist and kissing her passionately.
