Reborn as Batman’s Little Brother

Chapter 41: Bruce’s Troubles

“Oh, you're finally out. I was about to think you two would last for an entire shift…”

Selina spoke as she greeted Lucas who was coming out of a private room in the club.

After Lucas had dropped off Black Manta, he stayed in Mount Justice for a bit and taught a few pointers to the others before leaving since there was nothing urgent.

The time he left was also around the time the SIRENS opened so he went to the club and met with Pamela, Selina, and Harley.

Afterward, Pamela dragged him to a private room. At first, Lucas thought she had something urgent she needed to say but...it turns out that his women actually have a group chat without him and they’ve been speaking to each other…

Apparently, Mera had posted pictures of the two of them the other night and now, the other girls are all hot and bothered.

Lucas was speechless when he heard about it and had a feeling that the others would soon come and find him if he doesn’t find them first…

No wonder Raven and Donna seemed to be looking at him weirdly...heck, how did the others even know that he has slept with them already?

...Nevermind, it was probably Donna who told Diana...

Well, Lucas wasn’t one to refuse anyway if Pamela wanted to do it so he didn’t say anything.

Since it has been a while, Pamela had been feeling pent up and lasted longer than normal. In the end, they did it for 5 hours straight. Only when she was exhausted did Lucas finally manage to escape her.

After leaving the room, he was caught by Selina who looked at him with a teasing smile.

Lucas chuckled wryly and scratched his head in embarrassment.

“Sorry about that. Oh, Pamela’s still there and can’t move so…”

“Are you showing off now? Or are you inviting me next?”

Selina laughed and rolled her eyes.

“T-that’s not it!”

Lucas quickly shook his hands and his head.

Seeing Selina laugh at him, he knew that she was teasing him again. Lucas sighed.

“Anyway, I’ve left the door locked so it should be fine to leave her there for now…”

Selina nodded and slid a glass of wine to him.

“Want to drink?”

“Sure.”

Suddenly, Lucas remembered something and looked around.

“Come to think of it, where’s Harley?”

“Hehe, did you miss the sexy clown freak?”

“Well, I do admit she’s growing on me a bit.”

Lucas chuckled and sipped on his drink.

At first, Lucas didn’t really like Harley who was really crazy, but after spending some time hanging out with them, he found her quite cute.

Like a naughty little pet.

Still crazy though.

As he was drinking, he noticed a red mark on the glass and remembered that Selina was just drinking on this earlier. He felt quite awkward since he still doesn't know her relationship with his brother...

Selina pointed at the room at the far corner of the club.

On the door was written [EMPLOYEES ONLY].

“She’s there.”

Lucas didn’t think much of it and thought that it was an office area. He walked towards the room thinking of at least greeting Harley before he leaves.

He opened the door and saw various monitors on the wall and Harley without her panties. She was also holding something long and hard which was inserted between her legs…

Harley was half-naked and her clothes were a mess as she groped her own chest.

Her body jolted when she heard the door opening. When she turned to look who it was, he saw Lucas staring at her blankly as if his brains just exploded.

Lucas took 2 seconds to process what was happening before closing the door quickly to flee.

He returned to Selina and pointed at the room.

“What was that!?”

“Hahaha! It’s the surveillance room of course!”

Selina laughed seeing his reaction.

Lucas started to sweat.

He was pretty heated up when he and Pamela did their business in the private room and knowing that he basically owns the place as well, he didn’t bother to scan the room for anything.

...Don’t tell me they actually have cameras in the private rooms!?

Selina smiled as if reading his thoughts.

“What’s with that look? Don’t tell me you forgot we are very very bad girls.”

“You…”

“Hehe, I also watched it for a bit you know? And I have to say...meaow~”

Hearing Selina purr seductively.

Lucas felt so embarrassed that he quickly left the club to cool down.

It was fine if his other women saw him do the act, but having other girls watch is still a bit…

Lucas sighed and decided to burn the recordings later.

Pamela definitely knew about it but since she didn’t say, it means he didn’t need to be worried by it.

Anyway, what he was more worried about was Harley...right now, he didn’t know how to look at her in the eye after seeing something like that.

Lucas sighed again and decided to go back to the Wayne manor to sleep.

Inside the manor, he saw his brother Bruce reading a book in the lounge.

Seeing as he looked pre-occupied, Lucas didn’t go and bother him so he simply passed by to enter his room.

After a while, he felt hungry and remembered he hasn’t eaten dinner yet so he came down and asked Alfred to cook something.

He passed by Bruce again, still reading.

This time, Lucas frowned.

“Hey bro. What’s up?”

“Hm? Ah, did you just come back, Lucas?”

“...I came back a while ago already.”

It seems Bruce was lost in thought and didn’t notice him at all.

He looked at the book and saw that he actually hasn’t left the page yet.

“Is there something wrong?”

“...It’s nothing.”

Bruce sighed and shook his head.

Lucas was annoyed.

How is it nothing!? There’s definitely something!

“Is it Selina?”

“H-how did you know?”

“...I was right?”

Lucas froze. He was just guessing…

But it seems there really is something going on with his brother and Selina. Good thing he hasn’t fallen for her traps!

Bruce coughed to clear his throat when he knew the cat was out of the bag. Heh, see what I did there?

“It’s like this...while you were gone, a lot of things...happened.”

“Well, yeah. That’s 5 years after all…”

Just get to the point already!

Lucas shouted in his mind but didn’t speak up to hurry Bruce.

“You are familiar with how I was training under the League of Assassins in the past right? It seems the Demon’s Head, Ra's al Ghul, had taken a liking to me and wanted me to succeed him as the next Demon’s Head.”

Lucas nodded and remembered how Bruce was away back then and didn’t return after a long time.

Bruce sighed and continued to explain.

“When I didn’t agree to it, he sent quite a lot of assassins after me in anger over the past 5 years...one of them, in particular, went beyond my expectations…”

As Lucas listened to his explanation, he was suddenly reminded of something in the comics.

Don’t tell me…

“Umm...how to say this...I was drugged...and...she...well, we…”

“Had sex?”

“...Yeah.”

“...And she got pregnant?”

“...Yeah.”

“...”

Lucas planted his face to his palm.

So it did happen here as well…

Lucas can more or less guess what happened.

Since Bruce didn’t want to succeed him, he probably sent his daughter to go after him and told her to do it with Bruce. Probably, in his mind, the child of the one known as Batman and the Daughter of the Demon’s Head would be even better than Bruce or any other Ra’s al Ghul in the past…

Bruce sighed again and rubbed the middle of his eyebrows in frustration.

“This happened 3 years ago. Meaning, my child is most likely 3 years old as well. I’ve been trying to find them ever since but Thalia has always managed to hide from me…”

“...And Selina?”

“Selina and I are...getting along well before that. When she found out I had a kid from another woman, she...I don’t know, freaked out I guess? After that, we barely speak anymore.”

Lucas scratched his head in confusion.

“Are you sure that’s the case and not something else? I mean, she knows I’m going out with Pamela, Barbara, and uhh...others...and she’s always teasing me...I just don’t feel she would leave you because of that.”

The moment he said this, Bruce froze up.

He stretched his hands and grabbed Lucas’ shoulders tightly and made a dark scary face and spoke in a deep voice.

“What did you say? She’s...teasing...you!?”

Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Chill bro!!!

Lucas freaked out a bit but calmed down immediately.

“Bro, turn off the Bat-switch! I didn’t do anything to her!”

“...Nothing?”

“Nothing! I swear!”

“Good!”

Lucas sighed in relief when Bruce finally calmed down and let go of him.

Bruce sighed as well and sat back down.

“Bruce, I can tell you really like her more than that Thalia...so what’s the problem? Actually, Selina has only been teasing me to make fun of me. She’s never crossed the line so she must still have you in her heart!”

“...Really?”

Bruce asked but then sighed again.

“But why would she leave then?”

“Err, I don’t know. You need to ask her that not me…”

At this moment, Lucas saw Alfred coming out of the kitchen. It seems he finished cooking already.

Lucas got up and patted his brother’s back.

“Alright, don’t worry. I’m sure we’ll find your son.”

“I actually don’t know if it’s a son or a daughter.”

“It’s probably a son. Hahaha.”

Lucas just laughed, making Bruce smile wryly and shake his head. He stood up as well and joined Lucas to eat dinner.

Dick seemed to be still training in Mount Justice. He’s probably eating there as well.

After having a meal, Bruce seemed to have received a message and quickly disappeared in the Batcave.

Lucas didn’t mind as he knew Bruce can handle himself well. If not, Lucas is there to save him.

Just as Lucas was about to return to his room, Alfred called out to him.

“Young master, it’s ready.”

“Hm? What’s ready?”

Alfred showed a mysterious smile.

“Master Bruce had it made for you.”

“What?”

“Your suit.”

“...”

Lucas didn’t know how to react to that.

A suit huh?

To be honest, it wasn’t like he hasn’t thought of wearing one before.

After all, superheroes all have their suits. Only he didn’t have anything at all and would even stea-err borrow his brother’s cowl sometimes…

It wasn’t that Lucas couldn’t be bothered to make one. It’s just that he didn’t know how to design it. Shall he make it all white? Black and white? Or pure black like Batman’s?

How about the logo? What the heck is a logo for Prime? A giant letter P?

...Nope...too weird…

Anyway, it was because he can’t think of a design which is why he didn’t make one yet.

It seems Bruce made him a suit...well, Lucas did make one for Bruce so this is probably Bruce’ revenge for giving him a suit that looks like a bat.

As soon as he thought that, Lucas shivered.

“Uhh, no thanks. I’m just going to sleep.”

“...”
