Ok so I have no idea how to describe a court scene, so here is the jest.
Michael frames Andrew that he kidnapped Selena, and had something to do with her parents death. Andrew tried to deny it, but since he had no evidence, he was so screwed. Selena tried to help, but was told to stay quiet by Andy. The Wayne's held her back, all except Jason cause he enjoyed watching her get angry. When it came to a decision, it wasn't a good one. Michael was on suspicion for suddenly having all this evidence, and Andrew was thrown temporarily in jail for conspiring to kill his own sister. Selena was in shock when they put handcuffs on Andy. Michael was secretly smiling as Andrew was taken away. He looked over at Selena and saw how scared she was. Selena couldn't move, but Tim and his brothers stood their ground as Michael started to walk over to her.
"Not so fast Mr. Karsen. Miss Karsen isn't going into your custody." The judge states causing Michael to get angry.
"Excuse me, but the family traitor is no longer able to hurt my niece and I will be taking her home." Michael states back.
Guards moved in front of him, stopping him in his tracks.
"I'm afraid that neither of Miss Karsen's uncles will be near her at this time. Due to lack of evidence to support the fact, Miss Karsen won't be going to you." The judge explained.
Selena was silent, she was stuck in her mind trying to calm Luna down. She was snapped out of it when Bruce stepped in.
"If I may, your honor. I am here today because not only is my son Tim dating Miss Karsen.. Selena, but her parents were known associates of mine for both Karsen Industries and Wayne Tech. If it'd be alright with Selena, I could take her in with my sons while this case gets solved. She will be provided with everything she needs and my family would watch over her full time. It's what Charlotte would want." Bruce stated his claim as he glanced at Selena who had tears ready to run down her eyes.
"I respect that you and her parents were not only business associates, but actual friends and would take on the responsibility of taking in another child Mr. Wayne. I will allow it, only if Miss Karsen agrees." The judge replied looking at Selena.
Selena looked around the room, she hated being on the spot like this. She glances at Andy who secretly nods as he was being held back by guards.
"I accept Bruce Wayne's offer. I will stay with him till the case is solved." Selena answered. Michael secretly grunts as he disappeared.
Selena watched as Andy was dragged away, she tried reaching out to him but was held back by Tim and Dick. Jason, Damien, Serena and Bruce all watched as the tears were building up in her eyes. Tim had his arms around her waist trying his best to hold as her eyes started to turn amber. Something inside her told her to calm down, for once it was Luna who calmed down the anger in Selena.
By the time Andy was gone, Selena was on her knees in Tim's arms. They helped her out of the court house, past the press and to Selena's ride. Tim put her in the passenger seat as she buckled in while as Tim got in drivers seat and drove off. Dick and Serena got into his car, while Bruce, Damien, and Jason got into their car and followed.
Selena was silent as she curled up into a ball and hid in her own thoughts.
"It could be worse." Luna said to her.
"How Luna? How could this possibly be worse? Man I hate asking that." Selena thought back.
"Michael could have thrown a tantrum and nabbed you. No offense but he is a douche bag." Luna answered with a slight joy in her voice.
"No offence taken at all Luna, for once you actually made a joke. I am so proud. But what are we gonna do? If Michael get's his hands on me, who knows what'll happen to Uncle Andy, or the company." Selena asks.
"Or worse.. you, Selena. You have to stop thinking about the god damn company for one single thought and think about yourself." Luna answers.
"I know Luna, but if he get's into the company, he can find out that I'm Nighthowler, or worse . . .
He already knows!" Selena states.
. . .
"Don't think like that! If he ever does, I will make sure he never hurts you. You won't have to lift a claw Selena, I'd beat him up for you." Luna said.
"Thanks Luna, but you know I'd never want to hurt anyone." Selena replied.
Suddenly their conversation was interrupted by Tim gently touching her hand. Selena snapped out of her mind and realized she was still in her Jeep. Tim was at a stop light and gave her a concerned look.
"Are you ok? If we need to stop somewhere just let me know. Just FYI, we are almost at Karsen Manor." Tim asks.
"Oh uh.. thanks.. I'm fine. We can keep going, I really don't want to stop anywhere else until we get to Wayne Manor." Selena answers.
"Are you sure? Did you eat at all today?" Tim asks.
"I'm fine, can we just get my stuff. I think everyone would bother me if I stayed in my own home. I just can't believe this is happening." Selena answers.
Tim then wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer all while driving. Selena went with it as she wrapped her arms around his torso.
"I promise you Selena, I will always be there for you." Tim says.
Selena slightly blushed as she snuggled into his chest for the rest of the ride. After some time, they arrive at Karsen Manor. Ms. Fenton opened the door and saw Tim and Selena.
"Miss Selena, I am so sorry for what happened to Master Andy. I was so shell-shocked by the whole thing that I couldn't watch the TV anymore, what is the plan?" Ms. Fenton asks.
"Uncle Andy was taken into custody. I just know that bastard blood uncle of mine is behind this. He framed Andy and I will make him pay. For now, Bruce and his family have offered to take me in to make sure nothing happens. Also, there is something I should have told you a long time ago. But for now just stay with Tim while I pack." Selena explained as she went to her room and grabbed her duffle bag and packed her necessities.
After 10 minutes around her room, she locked her computer and synced it with her phone and laptop. Selena went to her closet and jumped through her secret entrance to her Coven. Walking to her console, looking at the photo's she taped around it. Multiple photo's of Selena with Leanne & Rianne, their boyfriends, Wayne boys, Serena & Serena & Lindsay & Helena, and most of all; Tim.
Selena took the photo of her and Tim that was taken at the oasis in New England. She smiled at how happy she was, before Tim and his family didn't know her secret. Selena exhaled as she took it all in; Tim knew her secret and so did her brothers, and she knew his secret. Everything changed that day, but she never regretted meeting Tim. She wouldn't change a thing if it meant she could stay with Tim.
Placing the photo back in it's place, Selena grabbed her utility belt and extra costume. Everything else she needed she put it in her bag. Walking up the stairs past her river and through the library. Down the stairs she went and found Ms. Fenton and Tim in the living room.
"Are you ready, Miss Selena?" Ms. Fenton asks.
"Got everything?" Tim asks after.
"Yeah, and I'm ready to tell you everything." Selena answered.
"What do you mean, Miss Selena?" Ms. Fenton asks.
Selena took a deep breath and turned her eyes to her amber color, Tim was confused about her actions while Ms. Fenton was shocked.
"Selena? Are you sure about this?" Tim whispers to her as he walked over to her ear.
"No more secrets, I don't want her to find out any other way, than by me. Laura, there's a secret about the Karsens, you see when I was..." Selena starts but was cut off.
"You were diagnosed with a heart disease that would have killed you before you were 16 but your brilliant mother created a cure into a serum with special wolf blood that saved your life. But its true results came up when you and your parents were kidnapped by that dastardly clown and was surfaced when you saw them die. And when you fled to NYC you learned how to control the powers that you were granted and became a hero to protect not only your families legacy but the city you were born in and to make sure your tragic past never happened to anyone." Laura Fenton finished.
Selena was jaw dropped while Tim's eyes were widened.
"Everyone knew how brilliant your mother was, but I'm afraid to say she was terrible at keeping secrets. No one outside this Manor knew except for your Mother's side of the family." Laura explained.
"This entire time... you knew!" Selena explained.
"You were good at your timing, but it was pretty obvious the way you'd always be somewhere else than where you were supposed to be." Laura Fenton replied.
Tim and Selena smile at her as Tim took her bag and walked to the car.
"Are you sure you'll be alright here but yourself?" Selena asks.
"I won't be totally alone, I have the pack. I will be just fine." Laura answered.
"Ok, now I told you about the secret entrances if you need to hide, but only go in there if something happens." Selena explained.
"Of course, I'm sure you keep it pretty clean down there." Laura Fenton replied.
Selena nods as she hugged her dogs goodbye and got in her Jeep with Tim. Waving goodbye, Tim drove them back to Wayne Manor.
"For the next week, you can park your Jeep with the other cars. So don't worry about the parking ok?" Tim asks.
Selena nods as she scooted closer to Tim, noticing her actions, he put his arm around her as they pulled into the Manor.
Tim and Selena walked in through the back and into the kitchen.
"Good evening, Master Tim, Miss Selena." Alfred said to them while making a fruit salad.
"Hello Alfred!" They reply in sync.
Alfred finished part of the salad and took her bags from Tim.
"I still can't believe Bruce offered to take me in." Selena said to Tim as they walked upstairs to his room. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she untied her heels and placed them by the door.
"He wants you to be happy, believe it or not, he always thought of you as family." Tim said putting his jacket on the hanger and starting to unbutton his suit.
"Why? He only met me twice nearly 3 years ago. Why is Bruce so nice to me anyway, if I didn't know he was Batman, I'd think he was a loner." Selena replied.
"You of all people should know why, we have to put on a front to protect our identities. If we act the same then people can put it together, but since you know our secret it doesn't matter since we now know yours." Tim said going into the bathroom to change into his lounge pants.
"So, he's only putting on a front? He doesn't like me?" Selena asks starting to feel sad as her eyes turned amber again.
Tim rushed out after he realized what he said, he dropped down to his knees in front of her and saw the tears coming.
"Ok one, I said that wrong, my bad. Two, he does love you, if he didn't he'd try to make sure we weren't together. Ever since the funeral he knew that we had something special, but it took a long time for us to find each other and figure it out. I lost you once, Selena... and I won't lose you again." Tim explained. Selena gave a heart felt look in her eyes as tears ran down her face.
She pulled him into her arms, and hugged him. Tim wrapped his arms around her as they stayed like that for awhile. Tim then felt the heat rise through her, before Tim made a move Selena got up and grabbed her bag. Went into the bathroom, and changed into something comfortable.
Tim watches as Selena came back out. They all joined in the living room and had the fruit salad together while Damien and Dick were excited about having her with them.
"I thought you lived in Bludhaven?" Selena asks.
"I switch back and forth, family always comes first when it comes to this family. So while Serena is in class, I use the Zeta Tube to go to my own Batcave. But I miss my brothers so I visit as often as I can. Oh Serena wanted me to mention that you can join the girls on their annual retreat." Dick answers.
"Retreat? What's that, a day your girlfriends get together and celebrate that they have big strong handsome gentlemen to protect them from harm?" Selena asks.
"Pretty much." Dick, Damien, Tim, and Jason say in sync.
"So, you think we're big, strong, and handsome? If I didn't know any better Timmy, you girl is falling hard. Does she know were taken?" Jason jokes.
"Sorry Big J, if I wanted to date a dick, I would have went for Richard over here, but instead I chose the boy with a big heart and even bigger brain. If your having trouble understanding my insult, I'm sure Damien can help me dumb it down for you." Selena jokes back.
Everyone but Jason laughed as Bruce chimes in.
"Where'd you learn to quip? Surely not from your mother?" Bruce asks.
"Actually, you'd never guess... my Aunt Alicia." Selena explained.
Bruce's eyes slightly widened as he remembered Alicia from when they were a bit younger.
They all talked about past battles and how Jason came back to life, but before they go to the part where Damien came into their lives, Selena started to yawn.
"Someone's been burning the midnight oil. When was the last time you slept, Pup?" Dick asks introducing a new nickname.
"Maybe, yawn, I'm sorry. Guess I didn't feel anything until recently, Luna keeps reminding me to get some sleep, but my schedule gets totally off." Selena answers.
Everyone was confused, until Selena then realized what she said.
"Oh right, I never really explained her to you guys yet. Luna, she's the wolf spirit inside my head. She.. guides me. She's the one who helped me understand my powers while my aunt and uncle trained me to fight and defend." Selena explained. The boys were still confused about that fact, but were too worried about her health.
"Tim, I think it's time." Bruce said winking at Tim. Tim nods as he picked Selena up into his arms and carried her bridal style. Up the stairs they went as Tim gently placed Selena on the bed and walked over to his desk. He pulled open a drawer and pulled out a box, but when he turned around and saw Selena and her bag missing. But the bathroom door was closed.
Selena came back out wearing her sleepwear, Tim's eyes widened with joy to see how peaceful she looked as her mind was clear. All she could think about was being with Tim.
"What?" Selena asks rubbing her eye with her hand noticing that Tim was checking her out.
"You just look so peaceful, that's all. You look beautiful when you're tired." Tim answered.
"Funny, bet I look like crap." Selena says.
Tim immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. Her legs draped over his as he didn't let go.
"You could never look like crap, you will always be beautiful." Tim replied pulling a small box from behind him and putting it in her hand.
"What's this?" Selena asks.
"Happy Anniversary Selena." Tim answers. Selena's eyed widened as she opened the box.
"Tim. This is..." Selena starts but trails off when Tim took the ring and put it on her ring finger. Selena was stunned, she had felt this kind of happiness before but it just reached a whole knew level.
Selena wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled into his chest. Tim smirked as he picked her up and placed her on the bed crawling on top of her.
"Moving a little fast, I just got my first promise ring?" Selena quips sarcastically.
"Didn't look like you wanted to stop when we were in your office. Shall we continue where we left off?" Tim asks.
"If you mean the offer, then I still don't have the answer." Selena answered.
"Sadly, that's not what I was talking about." Tim replied giving a smirk.
Selena innocently smiles back at him as he leaned down and connected their lips. Moving in sync, Tim puts his hands on her waist and gently rubs her with his thumbs. Selena moaned in the kiss as Tim felt her hands on his chest, undoing his buttons.
"You must really hate button ups if you keep taking mine off." Tim asks pulling away.
"Actually, you look really good in button ups. I just enjoy taking them off." Selena answers. Tim smirked as he slowly rubbed his hand up her chest and sent shivers up her spine. Selena blushed as she cupped his cheeks and they kissed again and again.
They broke after 30 minutes of their full make out session, Selena was wrapped in Tim's arms as she snuggles into his chest. They could feel the heat of their bodies as they could feel their love for one another grow stronger every second. Selena then closed her eyes as she drifted off to sleep while listening to his heart beat.
Tim noticed her breathing and realized that she had fallen sleep. He held her close as he started to drift off as well. Closing his eyes he focused on her heart beat as well. What they didn't see was Dick and Damien carefully opening the door, and seeing them asleep.
Dick gave a smile as Damien leaned against the door frame, not waking them up Alfred and Bruce peaked in as well. Enjoying their happiness is all they could ask for. Tim and Selena both deserve this after everything that's happened.
Let's just hope nothing takes it away from them.
