I sat at the table with a cup of coffee in hand as Mary ran in from the elevator. I smiled holding my arms out as she wrapping her arms around my body.

"Hi baby" I whispered.

"Where's dad?" She asked.

"Down the hall" I said.

She ran down the hall as Clea and Billy dropped their bags.

"Tommy's in the security room" I said looking at Billy.

He nodded walking down the hall as Clea sat opposite to me.

"I've been giving a lot of through into Mary" I said.

"And?" She asked.

"I'm grateful that you and Strange took care of her when I wasn't ready to be a mother" I said. "But I don't want to keep her away like she's a secret anymore. I want her to stay here."

"And I'm perfectly fine with that" she smiled. "What if something happens?"

"She'll be safe here but I know you're a call away and she does have a grandfather though I really don't want her in Gotham" I said.

She laughed, agreeing.

"The shot?" She asked.

"No" I said. "She was born with those powers, it's not my decision to take them away."

"So when's the wedding?" She asked.

"Technically in a couple hours" I said. "It's down the street. Nothing too fancy."

"Let's get to it" she said.

Rachel and Kory walked in smiling with bags in their hands.

"So were you not gonna tell us you and Dick have a daughter?" Kory asked.

"Surprise" I smiled. "Mary!"

The young girl ran in out of breath.

"We gotta go" I said.

She grabbed onto my hand as we walked down the street to the venue. Kory ushered me into a large room as Mary plopped onto the couch.

"You still haven't told us the color of our dresses" Rachel said.

I smiled walking toward one of the bags hanging from the mirror. I unzipped a little bit of it revealing the color of their bridesmaid dresses.

"White?" She questioned. "What color are you wearing?"

"Black" I smiled. "Figured it would look better w my hair."

She shrugged sitting in front of one of the mirrors pulling out her make up.

"Nervous?" Kory asked.

"Well technically we're already married so not really" I laughed.

Two hours had passed as I sat down while Kory did my hair.

"I wish your hair was longer" she said. "I'd have more to work with."

"Maybe just curl it?" I said.

"Yeah" she said going to turn the curling iron on.

I turned around as the door opened instantly smiling at the familiar faces.

"Told you, you didn't have to come" I said.

"Really think I was going to miss your wedding?" Donna smiled.

I stood up walking towards Dawn. I wrapped my arms around her smiling.

"How's Paris been?" I asked.

"Peaceful" she said.

"I'm glad" I said.
