Visting Family(Thomas)

[Crystal 'Red Sparrow' Drake]

Crystal had just got back to Gotham city from New York and thought to go see Thomas. She headed to Wayne Enterprises where she thought he would be at. She drove up to the door and got out and nodded as she walked into the building and up to the front desk. “Crystal Drake to see Thomas Wayne. “She told the woman at the desk who picked up the phone. Crystal looked around thinking all the time she was in this building as a kid. A smile came to her face. She then saw a picture of grandpapa Bruce. She walked up to the picture.

“I miss you so much grandpapa.” She whispered softly. As a small tear rolled down her face. She could remember the smell of her grandpapa as if he was here with her. She started to hear footsteps coming her way. She quickly wiped her tears away with her fingers hoping no one saw her crying. She turned to see who was walking up to her. She then saw a picture of her father on the wall. She walked up to it thinking about her father and the video wondering if anyone else knew who he was and who her mother was.

He had just wrapped up a meeting with his lawyers about the legal issues that Thomas was currently dealing with. Not only was Wayne Enterprises in a legal battle with Oscorp about their stealing a patent involving a sonic drill. The case had been going on for nearly a year and it was coming to end now that Oscorp knew that they were not going to be able to win the battle. The other legal issue that the Wayne family patriarch was dealing with was the news of his mother possibly being the daughter of Carmine Falcone. Thomas had already ran a test himself and had learned the truth for himself. Now his lawyers were trying to get him and Helena to run a DNA test to either prove or disprove the rumors.

So when the front desk had informed him that his niece was there to visit him, he was glad to get out of the office. It had been a little while since he had seen Crystal, but knew that Helena kept in touch with her more as both were models and often worked the same shows. Crystal had even done some work for Wayne Entertainment. Strolling through the lobby, he found Crystal looking over the pictures of his father and brother.

“Why am I not surprised to see you looking at these two?”[/b] He asked with a grin. “I figured you’d appreciate Tim’s picture up on the wall alongside dad’s and grandpa’s. He may not have been CEO of Wayne Enterprises for long, but he was still a CEO and most importantly, a Wayne.”[/b]

Crystal turned around with a smile on her face. She always loved her uncle Thomas. “Uncle Thomas.” She yelled running up to her uncle hugging him tightly. She missed him so much and he was like a father for most of her life. Well sense she was fifteen years old that is. “ Uncle Thomas I have missed you. I just wanted to come and see you.” She said pulling away from the hug. “Well they raised me. Along side you of course.” She said as she set down in one of the chairs.

“Wow everything still looks the same as I remember it. “She said looking around before looking back at Thomas. As she lifted her left hand placing her hair behind her ear. “Uncle Thomas can I ask you something?” She asked biting her bottom lip hoping that he would be able to answer her question. She needed to know more about Tony Stark Jr. And she thought Thomas would be able to answer the question as she looked at Thomas.

He smiled brightly as he returned her hug. “Hey sweetheart. It’s good to see you back home.”[/b]

Letting go of her, he watched as she looked around the lobby, and chuckled when she said that it was no different than she remembered. Truth be told, Wayne Tower hadn’t really changed much over the years except for the addition of CEO portraits that Thomas had placed in lobby along the walls.

“Uh oh,”[/b] he said in response to her question. “I know that look. Okay. Who is the guy? What has he done? And please for the love of God tell me that you’re not pregnant.”[/b]

With the way things had been lately, Thomas almost did kind of wish that his niece was pregnant. At least then the Wayne Clan would have some good news to celebrate for once. Lately it seemed like everything was crumbling down around him.

Crystal turned to Thomas when he asked all the questions. She almost shock that he asked but also not shocked. I mean he was kind of like a father to her. “ His name is Tony Stark Jr. As for what has he done nothing and no I’m not pregnant that I know of.” She said to Thomas. “I just need you get me everything you can on him.” She said with a need to know look on her face. She back at the pictures on the wall with a smile on her face. “They would be proud of you Uncle Thomas they way you raised us you know.” She said looking back at him with a smile.

His heart sank when she mentioned Tony Junior. While Thomas had a lot of respect for the man’s skills and intelligence, he had no real respect for the man’s way of life. The last thing he wanted was his niece, any of them, getting mixed up with a man like that.

“Anthony Stark Junior is nothing but a womanizing alcoholic,”[/b] he said coldly. “About the only thing redeeming about the man is his inventive mind and the humanitarian work that his company does. He’s trouble Crystal and not one that either your grandfather, father, or myself would like to see you end up with.”[/b]

His frown had quickly changed to a smile and a blush when his niece commented about his father and brother. He had hoped that they were proud of him, not only for what he was doing as Thomas Wayne, but for what he was also doing as the Batman. Like Crystal, he had missed both of them very much. Of all his brothers, he was the closest with Tim and next to his father, was Thomas’ next biggest influence.

“You think so huh? I don’t know about that. Helena did most of the work. I just helped.”[/b]
