Chapter 20: Club

Chapter 20: Club

I went back to Wayne Manor and met with another member of the family. Alfred.

“Alfred! My man, I missed you!”

“I missed you as well, young master Lucas.”

Alfred smiled and I gave him a big hug. I might’ve used a little bit of strength cause I heard him groan in pain. I’ll ignore the crack I heard too…

Laughing, I patted on his shoulder.

“How have you been?”

“I’m doing quite well myself. Ah, there is also someone else you need to meet.”

Alfred turned to the back where a kid about 13 years old was peeking at us from behind a door.

“Young master Dick, come meet your uncle.”

“Uncle?”

Dick asked as he approached us.

I laughed. Sure enough. Dick Greyson is indeed living with Bruce. Since Bruce adopted Dick, I am technically his uncle.

Smiling, I teased him.

“Yeah. That’s me! I’m Batman’s little bro, Lucas!”

“!!!”

Dick’s eyes grew wide and his mouth dropped the ground.

He looked back and forth between me and Alfred, seemingly wondering if it was okay that I said that out loud.

Alfred just sighed and shook his head.

“I see you are still quite the troublemaker as usual, young master Lucas.”

“Hahaha! And you’re still as uptight as ever, Alfred!”

I laughed and Alfred smiled wryly. Looking at the two of us, Dick finally snapped out of it and quickly introduced himself.

“H-hello! My name is Dick Greyson! I...I…!”

He seemed to be flustered about something. Curious, I looked back at Alfred for answers.

Alfred smiled and explained.

“Young master Dick seems to be looking up to you due to what you had done in the past.”

“Ah...there seems to be plenty of that going around…”

Honestly, it just feels embarrassing…

Back then, I had no plans about getting back at all so I didn’t care about giving away my identity. Now that I’m back, I really regret not putting on a mask or something…

I patted on Dick’s shoulder and grinned.

“Well, I’ve heard about you from my brother. Just call me Uncle Lucas or Uncle Luke. Whichever you prefer.”

“Then...Uncle Luke!”

I nodded and we all went inside to have a meal.

Over the meal, Dick would tell stories of how he, as Robin, kicked some villain ass along with Batman and Batgirl.

===

“Ugh! That Lucas!”

Ivy grunted as she slumped back down on the sofa.

She just finished a huge fight with Batman and Batgirl and managed to luckily escape. Still, she wasn’t able to vent her anger enough!

Looking at her, Selina smiled and spoke to lighten up the mood.

“Well, you can’t blame him. That man is at the top of the list of women’s most wanted man. In fact, he is also my type.”

“...Selina, don’t you dare join in as well!”

“...Are you kidding me? If I really went out with him, who knows what the Bat would do.”

Selina giggled when she thought about Bruce’s face if he knew she cheated on him with his little brother.

Hm? It isn’t cheating if we’re not going out in the first place right?

Plus...it is a bit interesting to see what Batman would do...fufu.

Ivy shivered as she looked at Selina.

...No good, this woman might be my biggest enemy yet!

Then, she looked at Selina’s chest. After a while, she sighed in relief.

Selina got annoyed with the way Ivy looked at her and asked.

“What?”

“Nothing. It’s useless to think about it. That guy has a thing for women with big breasts.”

“...”

Actually, what she said isn’t that far off.

If Lucas was heard and heard about it, he would no doubt just smile bitterly and unable to refute.

Except for Thea, every woman around Lucas indeed had big breasts...

Selina snorted.

“What breasts? You didn’t know how he was all over me before you arrived earlier.”

Actually, it wasn’t him being all over her, but her being all over him…

Before Ivy could begin to dispute, the door opened and revealed a slender red haired woman.

Seeing the person who arrived, Ivy squinted her eyes.

“Barbara, what are you doing here? Did you come to fight us again?”

Barbara sighed and rubbed her forehead in frustration.

“Look, Pamela...I’m not here to fight. I came here...to tell you about Lucas.”

“...What about him?”

Barbara raised a brow when she heard Ivy speak so nonchalantly. In the past, everytime she brought up Lucas’ name, Ivy would always lash out and overreact. In the end, they would always end up fighting again.

But now, something seems to have changed.

“...Did you already meet him?”

“Hmph! So what if I did? Barbara, how can you let that guy sleep with that amazon chick and another woman!?”

Barbara’s face froze.

“...He told you that?”

“I forced it out of him. You know how weak he is to women. Plus, I’m hotter than you.”

“...”

Barbara sighed. It was useless to argue with this woman…

“Look, you know how Lucas is. He attracts too many women...plus, even with the three of us, we weren’t able to last long against him...that guy is a monster even in bed…”

“...”

Pamela opened her mouth to say something but then closed it again as she didn’t know what to say…

At the side, Selina and Harley’s ears both perked up.

Looking at each other, Harley whispered to her.

“Told you we should’ve done a foursome earlier.”

“...Maybe.”

Selina felt a bit tempted…but mostly just out of curiosity.

As for Harley, well, she’s crazy so she may really just want to do it. But whether Lucas allows it or not isn’t up to her.

Pamela looked at Barbara curiously and asked.

“...Really?”

“Yes. That guy is simply impossible to satisfy alone…”

Pamela fell into deep thought.

Barbara saw her look and noticed something.

“Wait, if you’re asking this, does that mean that you haven’t done it with him yet?”

“...So what? It wasn’t an appropriate time. Would you rather I do it with him while these two watches?”

“...Fine.”

Barbara shook her head in exasperation.

“Still, even with seeing him alive...are you still going to stay a villain?”

Pamela rolled her eyes at that and sat back down on the sofa.

“Not this talk again. I told you, Lucas being alive won’t change me!”

Seeing Pamela be this stubborn, Barbara doesn’t know what to do anymore.

Suddenly, Harley asked.

“Say, so we’re not going to do that club thing Lucas said?”

“Club?”

Barbara asked and it was Selina who answered.

“Lucas suggested we turn this place into a club instead of just a hideout. We can earn some money and intel with it too so it isn’t a bad idea.”

“Ah! Hey! Don’t tell her that!”

Pamela pouted seeing her friends betray her so easily!

Selina just shrugged.

“Oh please. Barbara is already someone like an honorary member already with how frequent she keeps visiting.”

“Err, thanks...I guess?”

Barbara didn’t know what to feel about being an honorary member of a supervillain group but since she knows these girls, it isn’t that repulsive of an idea.

Pamela gave up.

It was weird to see a group of villains befriending a hero...then again, everyone’s relationship to each other is weird enough.

Especially Harley.

This girl has tried to kill Barbara numerous times before while she was still with the Joker. She also had a relationship with Pamela, only to dump her, then get back at her.

The idea of these girls hanging out...just thinking of it made Pamela’s head hurt.

“So are you gonna do it?”

“...Sigh, what else can I say? Fine. Call him then.”

“Ooh! Ooh! I’ll do it!”

Harley quickly grabbed Pamela’s phone and dialed the number Lucas gave earlier.

The call connected soon after and everyone heard Lucas’ voice.

“Hello? Is it Pamela?”

“Hi~! This is your darling Harley Quinn~!”

“...Ahh, sorry. Wrong number.”

*Toot*Toot*

===

What the hell? Why is it Harley who called me?

I was still in Wayne Manor and was about to get a shut-eye when my phone rang.

Thinking that Pamela finally called, I answered but...why is it Harley!?

Sure enough, after disconnecting the call, my phone rang again.

I sighed and answered.

“Harley, can you get Pamela or Selina on the phone?”

“Why!? Do you not like me anymore!?”

“Err, we just met earlier. What are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about our past lives of course! We were once lovers in our past life! Did you not feel it!?”

Alright, it was useless to talk to this woman.

I was about to change the topic but Harley still wasn’t done.

“Don’t fool yourself. I know you’ve been staring at my booty ever since we met. I may look like this, but I’m still a professional psychiatrist. I knew what’s going on in your head the moment I saw you!”

“Well, what was I thinking then?”

“You’re thinking that you want some of this sexy clown freak!”

“...Oh sure. I want some sexy clown freak. You got me. Now, can you hand the phone to Pamela?”

This seemed to have finally satisfied the sexy clown freak as he can hear her handing the phone to Pamela.

In the background, she was also speaking triumphantly.

“See!? I told you he’s into me!”

“Just shut up Harley...Sorry about that, she kept insisting on calling you.”

This time, it was Pamela’s voice on the phone.

I just laughed and didn’t really put it to heart.

“It’s fine. I guess she is kind of adorable that way. Like a kid. Only, crazy.”

“Haha, that’s true I guess.”

“So? Did you think about what I suggested?”

I asked, finally going to the point.

Pamela agrees and asks to meet up somewhere to have a better talk.

After thinking about it, I told her to meet up at a restaurant. It's troublesome to appear in front of the public so I will just buy the entire restaurant instead.

I can suggest doing it here in Wayne Manor but that might just complicate things a lot more. 

Ending the call, I called out to Alfred to make preparations.

Arriving at the restaurant, I made sure the preparations are perfect. The meal is already on the table and the workers have been chased off.

I made sure the ambiance is also quite good with the dim lighting and the candles as well as the music.

This is, after all, my first date since coming back. I didn’t want it to be ordinary.

The time arrived for Pamela and the others to arrive and I was surprised to see an additional person along with them.

“Huh? Barbara?”

“Hey. I heard about this club thing from Pamela. I thought I’d come as well.”

Huh? But aren’t they enemies?

Weren’t they just fighting each other?

Huh?

Did the term ‘enemies’ change while I was gone?

I mean, even Lex Luthor is a part of the Justice League and also a close friend of Superman…

Hm...maybe I accidentally traveled to a parallel world?

Barbara laughed as she looked at my dumbfounded expression.

“Haha! Don’t think too much about it. We’re enemies, but aren’t we also you're little lovers?”

“Err…okay?”

What the...is that how it works!?

Though I’m still very much confused, I was glad to see the two of them getting along with each other.

Then, before I could speak again, Harley suddenly hugged me.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t react at all. I saw her approach me but I thought she only wanted to talk. I didn’t think she’d go for a hug without much thought…

More importantly, she’s still wearing such a skimpy outfit...and certain areas are touching me!

“Dear~ I missed you!”

“Uhh...Okay, Harley, that’s enough hugging.”

I could only smile bitterly and pat her on the back.

When she still wouldn’t let go, I touched her shoulders and pushed her away.

“Ah!”

Ignoring her cries, I carried her and made her sit on the chair so she wouldn’t move around anymore.

After finally settling the sexy clown freak, I dusted my hands and looked at Pamela and the others.

“Well, the food’s here. Let’s talk as we eat.”

I pulled out three chairs for the three ladies as they all sat down.

Seeing this, Harley grinned.

“Heh, Lucas didn’t carry you to the chair like he did to me! He clearly likes me more than you all.”

Pamela laughed.

“It seems Harley really likes you. Why don’t you sleep with her, Lucas?”

Hearing what she said, I stumbled and nearly fell on the floor.

Give me a break...

Imbreak

Now...to sleep!

I think I will start to post this in webnovel as well on the weekend. I don't know why but this seems to be more popular than my Ultimate Fruit novel...

See ya next chap!
