Buffy picked up her cell phone and answered. The good thing about being a Slayer is that family and friends new not to call before noon if it wasn't an emergency unfortunately it was 11 am.
“Hello,” Buffy answered groggily.
“Hey Buf, it's the bat signal,” Xander said on the other end of the line.
“Haha very funny, Xand,” Buffy said as she got up to try to wake up.
“What?” he inquired.
“Nothing,” Buffy said knowing he wouldn't understand. As far as the Scoobies knew, Bruce Wayne was a billionaire who had an interest in marshal arts and was funding the school. She had agreed to let him keep his cover until it became necessary to tell the others. “What's the up?”
“An Apocalypse that doesn't like to keep to the schedule. Giles wants all hands on deck for this one,” Xander said calmly. Apocalypses were after all a semi annual occurrence for the survivors of Sunnydale. They had lived through so many and probably would many more.
“I'll be there as soon as I can get a flight,” Buffy said. “I'll call with the details later.”
“Good. See you when you get here,” Xander said before hanging up.
Buffy got dressed and packed before venturing out into the penthouse. She may not need much sleep but Bruce did. She was not going to sneak out of Gotham without saying good bye but she was also not going to wake him up early and face a grumpy Bruce.
Buffy was in luck. It was apparently one of the days that Bruce had a lunch meeting so he was up at eleven working out. She paused to watch him do some crunches before speaking. It always amazed her, the physique he kept hidden by one suit or another, when she was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it.
“Bruce,” Buffy started.
Bruce stopped mid crunch, “Yes Buffy?”
“I have to get back to Cleveland. A rogue Apocalypse has sprung up,” Buffy explained.
This startled Bruce. “There are more than one type of Apocalypse?”
“Yeah. Usually they confine them selves to either November/ December or late April to early June. But it August and the Scoobies have been scattered for the Summer so we who are still close enough have to get back,” Buffy explained.
“I understand,” Bruce said. “Alfred!”
Alfred appeared quickly from the kitchen, “Yes, Master Wayne?”
“Get the jet ready. Buffy needs to get back to Cleveland as quickly as possible,” Bruce said.
“Right away, sir,” Alfred said before he left to make the arrangements.
“I don't need the jet a regular flight would work just as well,” Buffy tried to protest.
Bruce came over to her and put his hands on her waist. “What good is all this money going to do me if I can't fly my girlfriend around in style?”
“Girlfriend?” Buffy asked, as it was the first time any label had been put on their relationship.
“I think it is about time we admitted it,” Bruce said before he leaned down and kissed her throughly.
“About time,” Buffy echoed.
“Hmm.” Alfred tastefully noised. “The jet is already as is the Lamborghini.” Alfred picked up Buffy's duffel bag and carried it to the elevator. Bruce and Buffy joined him.
Once the duffel was in the car, Buffy hugged and kissed Alfred on the cheek. “I'll see you again soon,” she said as Bruce helped her into the car.
