“Cleveland- Bruce Wayne, 30, was seen at the Joyce Summers School for Gifted Girls' first annual Halloween Costume Ball on Friday with Buffy Summers, 25. Miss Summers is the school's headmistress and the latest in the long line of Wayne's girlfriends.
The two appeared dressed as Wolverine and Rogue from the popular X-Men comics and films. They led the dancing with the eighties retro tune “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The song set the mood of the evening and that mood was retro fun. Tickets to the gala went for a thousand dollars a pair so in then end a grand total of $100,000 was raise to give scholarships to ten needy students.
After the gala, Wayne and Summers were spotted going out presumably on the town but they did not journey to any of the city's hot spots to see and be seen. Instead they were spotted strolling arm in arm through one of the town's most historic cemeteries.
When asked later, Wayne said, “Buffy finds it romantic to see the loving epitaphs of generations before and there is a sense of history there. Personal I like the quiet and the piece of a cemetery by moonlight.”
There you have it ladies and gentlemen the rich really are different.”
“Alfred,” Bruce called as he put down the newspaper.
“Yes, Master Wayne?” inquired the ever present butler.
“We have a problem,” Bruce stated flatly as he handed the paper to Alfred.
“Indeed we do sir,” he agreed after reading the short article.
“Buffy doesn't proclaim her status as the oldest living Slayer to the general public but neither does she keep a secret anymore. But still it could be inconvenient for the real story to get out. But the real problem-” Bruce began.
“The real problem is that if they follow you that closely, then you have to chose to give up Batman or possibly be found out,” Alfred continued.
“Neither is acceptable,” Bruce countered. “At least they didn't actually follow us in to the cemetery, or that quote would never have worked.”
“What happened there, sir?” Alfred asked pleased that all was not as dire as it seemed on first glance.
“A few new vampires rose and we, to quote Buffy, 'dusted them'. Then we met with Spike who had news of the vampire activity here in Gotham to share,” Bruce answered.
“Then shall I prepare the guest room for Miss Summers?” Alfred inquired helpfully.
“You had better prepare them both because both the Misses Summers and Miss Rosenburg will be arriving tomorrow afternoon for an extended stay,” Bruce replied.
“Very good, sir,” Alfred said with a smile. He knew, from what limited experience they had that week in Cleveland a couple months ago, that the three young ladies took their fight serious. More importantly afterwards they knew how to party just as hard. With them around, Bruce was bound to actually have some fun as well as save Gotham.
