Later, Bruce and Selina were sitting in their car as Alfred drove them home.

"So, what do you think of Clark?" Selina asked as she looked out the window.

"He is good alright. There wasn't any opening in his posture, so I'm guessing he has awakened his Kryptonian power, but the question is why isn't he becoming the hero he was supposed to become? Considering his age, he should have already dawned on his Superman suit."

"There are multiple possibilities, sir," Alfred spoke up, "Maybe something tragic might have happened which caused him to hesitate, or he might still be in denial of the truth regarding his origins."

'Or, maybe because I shifted many events and changed history, which caused some drastic changes, and he might not even become a superhuman due to that.' Bruce thought with a wry smile. "Could be that, but we have to know which side he will stand when the time comes. A friend or a foe." He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. Today was too exhausting for him.

The next few weeks were hectic for Bruce. The sales of the VR-Tech went through the roof, and with the number of games designed, they now had enough options for players. Bruce had left the official release of the tech to Lucius and the R&D team of his company. Some over-smart people tried to take apart the pods and tried to hack into the system to steal the software. But thanks to the security measures placed within the pods and the mainframe, no one was able to break through those security measures and ended up on the blacklist.

The cops were busy arresting these individuals since the Wayne Enterprise made everyone who bought it sign an agreement stating the system and the pods should never be tampered with. And violating the agreement was considered a crime. Plus, the entire VR technology and everything related to it was completely monopolized by Wayne Enterprise. Anyone trying to copy their work or reverse-engineer them faced heavy lawsuits as a punishment. And considering that Bruce Wayne is one of the richest if not the richest man in the world, coming after their asses with lawsuits and making their life a living hell would be pretty much simple for him. So, after a few weeks of arrests and heavy pressure on those companies by Wayne Enterprises, not a single person or a company was willing to try to breach the system anymore.

[Training ground]

"That's the kid?" Floyd asked Bruce as he saw Barry's table. There was a heap of food and drinks on top of it and the boy was eating the food while muttering to himself.

"He is the fastest man alive. Well, he will be. Right now he's in the training session. So..." Bruce smirked at Floyd, "I wonder... The man who never misses a shot against the fastest man alive... Hmm...."

"Is that a bet?" Floyd asked Bruce who smiled lightly as he nodded, "A meeting with your daughter without anyone noticing. I'm sure you are dying to meet her, but Waller... So, train that kid for a week, and show him around the ropes a bit. Break his confidence in his speed. Then push him to his limits."

"Wasn't Diana in charge of him?" Floyd raised his eyebrow.

"Hmm, Diana is too straightforward and pure... What Barry needs right now is a little dose of reality and fear."T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

"You really want the kid to freak out a bit?"

[Wayne Manor]

Bruce and Elana were sparring as usual. Elana has begun to use almost 70% of her strength.

As a former member of the League of Assassins, whose abilities were said to be equal if not better than the leader, Ra's al Ghul, that man had trained Elana in his special training techniques and methods, but she went beyond his expectations, surpassing him, and quickly became one of the strongest, Ra's al Ghul couldn't control her or force her back, and to his annoyance, her body is attuned with the Lazarus Pit water and is no longer deteriorating like others who are subjected to it. She was special and Ra's al Ghul knew a way to utilize her strength for the league, so he plotted and well, she fell for it.

One day, a mission went against her morale. She was to kill the Wayne family, but after learning the truth behind Thomas's Devil Bat's persona and his mission, she refused to kill him. Then she tried to leave the league and surprisingly Ra's al Ghul allowed her to do that, instead, he asked her to send the league, orphans and people stranded by the society and support from the Waynes, as long as she lived.

In return, he won't touch the Waynes or have any harm fall on them, and the League's assassins would no longer cause problems or attack their businesses. They will instead make sure none gets in Wayne's way.

Thomas who was blinded by rage and was at his weakest point agreed to the terms. He opened an orphanage under a church as the place where the assassins could choose the kids they wanted to take them back to train them as assassins. And he would also send them money from time. It wasn't exactly good after all the kids would become assassins one day and end up dying one way or another, but after learning about the League's power from Elana, Thomas had no other choice but to continue. That was his deal with the league after all.
