<(Bruce Wayne POV)>

"You never told me that you have a family Bruce. If I knew, I would have worn something better..., maybe even bring a housewarming gift or something." Nyssa said while lightly biting on her nails with a worried look.

"That's why I always tell you to read the file little sister. Background checks are always important even if you are just looking for a boyfriend." Talia snorted at her sister.

"Wait, you read a file on me. That's borderline creepy. *Sigh* I guess, I should have expected this from a closet pervert like you." I teased Talia to which she just gave me a cold look. "Also Nyssa, by family I only currently have my butler/guardian Alfred, and my best friend Selina whom Alfred adopted about a decade ago. Besides them, I also have some friends whom I consider family as well." I said, not mentioning that Selina might be a little more than just a friend.

All three of us were on our way to the Wayne Estate in a black Tesla Roadster, the first electric sports car released by Wayne Auto under the brand name Tesla.

It was declared the car of the year by a majority of magazines and car critics and almost had a cult-like following of loyal fanboys. Of course, the fact that it had a range of 1000 miles which charged from 0 to 100 percent in ten minutes with its out-of-the-world battery technology along with a host of other innovative features also contributed to why it was the highest-selling sports car in the country this year. In fact, it sold so much that I had to spend an additional 3 billion dollars to make new charging stations all over America to compensate for the huge number of Tesla cars on the road.

Anyway, I was originally supposed to return alone while Nyssa and Talia were supposed to stay back at the League's Nanda Parbat base to solidify the League's new power structure but they had both changed that decision at the last moment and taken some time out to drop me home. The reason they gave me of course had nothing to do with dropping me home. If one were to believe their words, they just wanted to visit the infamous city of Gotham.

"You have a girl as a best friend who is also living in your house?" Nyssa's voice sounded hollow for some reason.

Even Talia raised one of her eyebrows in my direction as if to ask me if I had just broken her little sister's heart.

"... It's completely fine for a boy and a girl to be best friends. If you don't agree with it, then you are a sexist." I bullshitted through my teeth with a straight face as I did my best not to meet her eyes. "Oh, look. We are here." I said with genuine joy at being able to divert the topic as I pointed at my mansion.

The estate had changed a lot over the years. From a classic medieval-era style mansion to a breathtakingly beautiful manor filled with cutting-edge technologies for both security and convenience.

The entire mansion had professional defense personnel in black full-body suits with high defense capabilities roaming all around the estate ready to take someone's life or give theirs in case of an invasion. Even their guns had been upgraded into electromagnetic variants that normal bulletproof vests wouldn't be able to stop.

After the car stopped in front of the front door of the main building, I got out of the car followed by both Nyssa and Talia, both of whom were looking everywhere around them in curiosity.

"... Gaaah, they are so cute." Nyssa was the first to break as she shouted in a girlish voice and bent down to scratch Ace behind his ears. She even looked like she wanted to rub my cheeks in adoration too.

"You didn't last even a single second, shame on you sis. Well, I guess I cannot just let you do this alone. So, I'll have to sacrifice my integrity and join you to pet him as well." Talia admitted with a humph and bent down to rub Ace's head with an excited expression on her face.

'I guess this is the first time, they are doing something like this. I doubt Ra's Al Ghul was enough of a caring father to bring them puppies when they were children.' I thought to myself as I smiled internally.

"By the way Alfred, where is Selina?" I asked in a low voice as I discreetly looked around in search of her.

"Oh, she went out with Mr. Whiskers to make preparations for a little party she is arranging to celebrate your return. She should be returning soon. However, I would advise not to do or say anything to anguish her. Her mood was never that great after you left for your training. So, she started to push herself too hard which took a toll on her mental health. So if you do something to make her cry, then it will be me who will be the one suffering the most since I will have to choose between supporting you and supporting her." Alfred whispered back.

"Hahahaha. Don't worry, Alfred. I will never break anyone's heart, least of all the heart of someone who loves me. You don't have to stress about that." I said as I patted his back with a calm smile all the while I was panicking internally.

Originally, I was just going with the flow of things in terms of romance and stuff but I doubt either Nyssa or Selina would ever agree to share me like some typical Harem novel.

DC although has some of the hottest girls ever, isn't really known for harem stuff. In terms of romance and love, this is completely a normal world of soulmates, sex, partners cheating on each other, and casual relationships. But polygamy and harems are rarely shown.

'Is there any harem-inator that I can make and use to force everyone to accept harems? I really don't want to die a virgin... In my last life, I only had a couple of blowjobs, but never the real stuff.' I sadly thought to myself as I was the one biting my nails nervously this time. I really didn't want to pay for a good time even after having two girls who were seriously interested in me.

'*Sigh* It looks like my love life is on its way to hell even before it begins.'
