Eventually, the next morning came and Alfred prepared breakfast. Lionel, surprisingly, was the last one to wake up.
"Cherry, today is a work day, so-" Bruce was about to ask if she wanted to come along.
"No." Cherry replied, eating her breakfast.
"Sounds dull." Lionel muttered, before face-planting into his egg sandwich.
Cherry and Bruce looked to Lionel.
"What's wrong with him?" Bruce asked.
"I'm not sure." Cherry shrugged.
Lionel shot back up. "I'm okay! Just... Just kinda drowsy, is all..." he replied.
Cherry glanced to him before shrugging as she continued to eat up. Lionel continued eating his food... Even when he dozed off while eating.
Eventually, Cherry finished eating and went in front of the TV as Bruce went to work for the day.
Lionel soon joined her. "So, anything decent on today?" he asked.
"Eh, I'm just catching up on a bit of smart television to keep my brain up to date." Cherry shrugged.
"Cool. Cool." Lionel nodded.
Cherry nodded back as she watched a series that was known as Frasier.
"I think I recognize that guy," Lionel pointed out. "...Kelsey Grammer, right?"
"Yep." Cherry smirked.
"Good actor, from what I've seen." Lionel replied.
"Yeah, he's pretty good," Cherry said. "I watched a lot of this show during high school to practice for plays we would read in English class. That's why when I read aloud, you feel like I'm actually there unlike some students who just sounded bored or uninterested."
"For a while, I did write my own animation scripts." Lionel replied.
"Sounds like you and I could make some music together." Cherry smirked.
"And it would be a beautiful composition!" Lionel added.
Cherry let out a small chuckle to that.
"Thank you, thank you." Lionel bowed.
Cherry smirked as she kept watching TV with him for a while.
"Still, this is pretty good." Lionel replied.
"Mm-hmm..." Cherry nodded before feeling a little sleepy herself.
"Yup. Any missions today?" Lionel wondered.
"Not that I know of until later," Cherry shrugged. "Bruce is going to work today. He used to make me come with him sometimes."
"Like a Dad-Daughter sort of thing?" Lionel asked.
"You could say that, yeah," Cherry replied. "He's always loved me like a daughter."
"Cool." Lionel nodded.
"Someday, all of this will be yours!" Cherry imitated Bruce in an over the top way to sound funny and serious at the same time. "I'm obviously never going to have any children of my own, so you're the best I got!"
Lionel snickered at that.
"Gotham is an oyster and you are the pearl!" Cherry continued.
"Great, now I'm hungry for fried clams." Lionel muttered as he snapped his fingers and made a plate of fried clams with dipping sauce.
"Hmm... My dad would love you." Cherry smirked about the seafood.
"Didn't I meet him yet?" asked Lionel curiously.
"I know, it was just a joke," Cherry replied. "Daddy loves his seafood."
"Cool, I can respect that." Lionel replied.
Later on, Cherry was just about to fall asleep until her cell phone went off and she answered it.
"Cherry, tell Lionel it's go time." Bruce's voice said on the other line.
Cherry nodded, mildly irritated. Lionel was in his bed, sleeping like a rock.
"Lionel... It's go time." Cherry said, though sounded annoyed.
Lionel opened his bloodshot eyes. "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit..." he grumbled as he got out of bed.
"Sorry... Come on, let's go." Cherry replied.
"Fiiiiiiine..." Lionel snapped his fingers and got into his costume, then teleported them down to the Batcave.
Cherry nodded and soon went to get her Lady Gothika outfit. Lionel dozed off while waiting.
"Are you sick or something?" Cherry asked. "You seem sleepier than usual."
"Hm? Oh, nah. I just got bored waiting for you." Lionel replied.
"Okay, you ready then?" Cherry asked as she adjusted her outfit a bit.
Lionel nodded.
"Let's go." Cherry told him.
The two of them soon went to meet up with Batman, wherever he ended up.
"Okay, what's going on?" asked Bat-Mite.
"Trouble at the Bank of Gotham." Batman replied.
"Who's the villain du jour?" Lionel asked.
"A couple of thugs willing to ambush a fellow by the name of Lucius Fox." Batman informed.
"Your tech guy?" Lionel asked. "Let's move it!"
They soon came to the bank where there were suited men.
"Looks like the Cogs from that ToonTown game." Lady Gothika commented.
"I never DID get to play that." Bat-Mite stated.
"Aww..." Lady Gothika cooed, patting him on the head.
Bat-Mite blushed, though he was confused by that.
"How do you feel about kicking mobster butt?" Batman asked them.
"Sounds good to me." Lady Gothika smirked.
"I am SO ready for that!" Bat-Mite grinned.
"All right then, remember some training." Batman told them.
They soon moved out and began to fight the mobsters once they came out and saw them.
"Heya, Rocky and Mugsy!" Lady Gothika smirked, making a Looney Tunes reference.
Bat-Mite pulled at the sides of his mouth. "Nyah-nya-nya-nya-nyah!" he mocked before mooning them.
The mobsters glared and one of them ran towards the two, holding out his fist.
"Whoa! You can't hit a lady!" Lady Gothika said, grabbing his fist.
"Yeah! Didn't your mother teach you ANYTHING?" Bat-Mite added. "Tsk-tsk, naughty-naughty!"
"Watch this, Bats! Watch me! Bats! You're not looking!" Lady Gothika cried out like a little girl.
"I'm watching, I'm watching." Batman chuckled.
Lady Gothika then smirked and flung the mobster against the other while holding onto his fist. Bat-Mite then got into a batter stance...and hit the crook with a frying pan! Teen Titans Go! Robin soon appeared, he saw the crook coming and jumped out of the way and made it out, unscathed. However, the crook seemed to fly back and then fly towards him, making them both crash in the background.
"YOU STINK, LOSER!" Bat-Mite yelled.
"It's like the Brony Fandom with Flash Sentry." Lady Gothika smirked.
"True, true," Bat-Mite nodded. "...I'd understand more if I knew what that was."
"Flash Sentry was a boyfriend created for Twilight Sparkle." Lady Gothika muttered.
"He sounds boring and one-dimensional." Bat-Mite replied.
"Mm..." Lady Gothika let out a low hum.
A mobster soon came up behind her, grabbing her by her shoulders. Bat-Mite just grabbed the mobster, then set LG down gently, and threw the mobster into a wall.
"Your combat training has really improved." Batman told Lady Gothika.
"Aw, thanks!" Lady Gothika blushed happily.
Bat-Mite rolled his eyes with a smile. A frail man was shown trying to get away from the action.
"You okay, sir?" Lady Gothika asked him.
The man nodded. "Just... Keep them away from me...!" he whimpered in terror.
"Don't worry, you're safe now." Lady Gothika reassured.
The man quickly thanked her and ran off into the night.
"Whoa...guy looks like he's seen a ghost..." Bat-Mite commented.
"I think he could give Shaggy Rogers a run for his money." Lady Gothika added.
"Who?" Bat-Mite asked.
Lady Gothika glanced to him before rolling her eyes slightly.
"5th Dimension, remember?" Bat-Mite replied. "I haven't seen that much Earth TV yet."
"I guess I forgot..." Lady Gothika sweat-dropped. "I think I'm going to have to educate you later."
"That WOULD be nice, thanks." Bat-Mite nodded.
The mobsters now looked scared of the Bat Family who came to them.
"You're busted now." Lady Gothika smirked.
"Wesker is off limits. Got it?" Batman growled.
One of the mobsters looked up until Batman stomped on him. Another mobster came behind Batman to ambush him only for the Dark Knight to whack him with a fist from behind, and eventually, they left.
They soon went back home for the night as Lionel went back to sleep like a rock.
"Night, Bruce." Cherry said.
"See you at work tomorrow." Bruce told her.
"I never agreed to that~" Cherry replied.
"Neither did I..." Lionel grumbled.
"I thought it might help you keep you sharp and focused." Bruce told them.
Cherry groaned to that.
"Ugh... Your workplace is BOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGG." Lionel groused.
