Chapter 258: Family
🕑 Added 2025-09-13 01:14:57 +0000 UTC[3rd POV]
After around 20 minutes of walking around the city, the group eventually made their way to Wayne manor, standing outside of the large mansion alongside Gwen, who was standing in front of the door awkwardly, wondering how her father and brother were going to react, as she could tell that they were both inside at the moment.
Glancing at the girls and seeing their nods, Gwen sighed, before reaching forward and knocking on the front door a few times, before stopping and waiting for the door to open.
A few moments later, the door opened with a creak, as a voice echoed “Hello, can I help y-“ Alfred paused as he went wide eyed upon seeing who was standing there, that it was Gwen who was standing in front of him.
“Uh, hey Alfred! Long time no see, right?” Gwen said awkwardly, as the man looked at her, shocked to see her after a year of her being gone, before he moved forward and wrapped her in a hug, causing her to blink in surprise, before reciprocating the hug back.
“Young miss! It’s been so very long since I have last seen you” Alfred said with a bright smile as he pulled back from the hug, happy to see her after a year of her traveling and being gone.
“Come in, come in” Alfred said, as he moved out of the way, allowing Gwen and her girlfriends to follow her in, with Korra and Jean both looking around, neither of them having ever seen this place before, as neither of them had ever been here.
‘…Explaining that I have two new girlfriends is definitely going to be an interesting conversation to have’ Gwen thought, realizing that her father didn’t know about that, so…it was probably going to be an awkward conversation.
Hell, this entire situation as going to be awkward, as she followed behind Alfred, until she stopped as she noticed her father and brother sitting next to one another on the couch.
“Alfred, who was it?” Dick’s voice echoed, as Alfred looked at Gwen, before smiling.
“Perhaps you should look for yourself?” Alfred asked, as Dick blinked in confusion, before turning around, only to blink several times as he stopped on Gwen, who awkwardly waved at him, as Bruce also turned and stopped on her.
“G-Gwen?” Dick asked, wide eyed as she smiled.
“Hey little bro, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Gwen asked, as Dick got to his feet and slowly began to walk towards her as she cringed.
“Sorry about being gone for so long, I kinda underestimated how busy I was going to be in another universe, but hey, I’m here-oof!” Gwen was cut off from her rambling as Dick barreled into her, his arms wrapping around her as he hugged her a lot harder than Alfred had.
“I’ve missed you” Dick whispered, as Gwen looked down at her little brother, before smiling fondly as she patted his head softly, while looking back at her father, who was staring at her with narrowed eyes.
“You were gone for longer than you had said” Bruce said bluntly, noticing that she looked noticeably older, and her girlfriends did too. He also noticed the two additions, but decided to focus on his daughter for now.
“I was, yes. I underestimated just how much I had to do in the multiverse I was in. Just how dangerous that place can get, and just how many people I would be in charge of protecting” Gwen responded, as Bruce frowned.
“How long?”
”Around two years” Gwen answered, as Bruce let out a sigh.
Upon seeing the small glare that Alfred was giving him, Bruce got to his feet and walked over, before slowly joining the hug, turning it into a group hug as he also muttered softly just as Dick had.
“I’ve missed you, daughter” Bruce said, as Gwen just giggled.
“And I’ve missed you too, dad” Gwen responded, as she hugged her brother and father for a few more moments, before the two of them pulled back with awkward coughs, embarrassed as the girls looked at them with smirks, even Jean was amused with the sight.
“So…who are those two?” Dick asked, looking at Jean and Korra. He had never seen them before, but considering they were traveling with Gwen, and were seemingly close with Gwen’s girlfriends, he had an idea that he knew who they were to Gwen.
“I’m Korra, one of Gwen’s girlfriends” Korra said, shaking the hands of Alfred, Dick, and then Bruce.
“Another girlfriend? You really have an actual harem, huh?” Dick said with an amused smirk on his face, as Gwen just grinned.
“Yep, you jealous?” Gwen replied, as Dick blinked before shaking his head rapidly, an embarrassed blush on his cheeks as the girls giggled.
“And I’m Jean Grey, another of Gwen’s girlfriends” Jean said, repeating what Korra had done with a bright smile on her face. She found that Gwen’s father and brother were both very nice people, even with the girls warning that Bruce could be…a little much sometimes, and was not someone who just trusted others.
With the introduction of Korra and Jean finished, Dick looked back at Gwen after shaking off his embarrassment, and instead decided to ask the question that he and Bruce both had on their minds, and that was…
”So what happened while you were gone?”
At the question, Gwen glanced at the girls as they all looked back, as she let out a sigh, before deciding to answer the question the best she could.
“A…lot, so it’d be best if we all sit down and get comfy”
_____________________________________
As it turns out, it was a lot to explain. It had taken her over two hours to explain everything that had happened in the past two years, and where she had gone, and what she had done. She hadn’t told them of every little thing she had done, like the massacre of the foreign Gods, but she had told them about her fighting against cosmic entities and such.
Dick looked at her in awe and shock quite a few times, and even Bruce looked surprised at some of the information that she had given them, like the fact that she had built a city with billions of people living within it, and had several other cities that were growing rapidly in size, and would eventually reach billions of people themselves.
She had a city that housed more than double the population of Earth…and she had other cities that were also growing to that size.
It was insane, even to Bruce, who wondered how she even managed it, and Gwen decided to answer said question.
“Clones are the way I do it. I can create hundreds of thousands of clones, to billions if I really wanted to. With enough clones, I can safely run every city on my own, while also upgrading the technology of the cities, recruiting more people and anything else I need. But I only did that in the beginning. Once I recruited enough people, I built a council that now helps run things” Gwen answered, as her father gave a slow nod of understanding.
“And you said that the primary city, Malzif, is all mutants? What are mutants?” Dick asked, having never heard of the term “Mutant” besides in monster movies.
“Hmm, think Metahumans but much more common and stronger. They’re all born with something called an “X-Gene” and said Gene is awoken. They’re classified as the next stage of evolution for humans in that multiverse, and at their peak, there are mutants that can decimate universes and end civilizations casually” Gwen explained, as their eyes widened at that piece of info.
“That’s…alarming, but I guess you have the means to stop anything should they decide to cause problems?” Bruce asked as Gwen nodded.
“I have many many ways of stopping any sort of violence that might arise, trust me on that” Gwen said, as they all began to go silent for a few minutes, before Gwen glanced at the tv, before smiling and asking a question that was on her mind.
“So…wanna watch a movie?”
