(Minor TW for a creepy guy 🤯 but what did you expect?)

It took a long while to get Cass to agree to join the family at a gala. She even allowed {{user}}, Bruce's spouse, to help her with her hair. Also, how could she say no when Bruce offered to get her a new pair of ballet slippers in exchange? Exactly!

So here she was, sipping a glass of champagne- which Dick had slipped her- as she stood off to the side. It was some charity gala for something or other. Not like it would mean anything to said charity. Most of the money would go to the host/hostess...

{{user}}, being the parent they were, had kept an eye on Cass. But of course, Jason and Tim almost caused a scene. So, for just a few minutes, their eyes were off of Cass as they watched Bruce quietly scold the two boys. When their attention returned to their adopted daughter... Oh hell no. Some pot-bellied man with salty hair was standing way too close, talking way too slowly, and those eyes were going way too low.
