Meeting with Barbara Gordon

It was currently 3pm and Drystan was in traffic hoping he wouldn't be late as he was on his way to pick up and have dinner with his new teachers assistant.

The purpose of this dinner was to get to know each other a little better as they will be working together for the extended future.

That being said miss Gordon was a beautiful young lady and they were having dinner with just the two of them so he decide to treat this more like a date than a work thing.

He didn't plan for this to be a date but after he got home a after setting the appointment he thought about it and couldn't really think of it as NOT a date.

After all it was a young man and a young women going out to eat with each other with the sole purpose of getting to know one another.

That's basically the definition of a date except that genders are interchangeable.

Since he decided that it was his first date in his new life he chose to go all out and made reservations at a nice place and wear a nice suit.

Since he doesn't really indulge in unneeded luxury, it tends to slip from his mind that he's a rich man.

In both lives after his parents died he came to own millions in assets from a young age.

Drystan felt that he was rather fortunate that most of the shareholders in his parents company were close friends with his parents and weren't greedy.

In fact, they even helped him learn how to properly manage the company in both lifetimes.

There was one big difference in the company in both lives and that was the degree of success after he took over.

In his past life he in his short 10 years in charge had doubled his net worth. His current life however had in 8 years brought the company's value from millions to billions.

The reason for this is that the company his parents founded was a tech company which was named Jade tech. after his mother Jayde Doyle.

Anyways he sometimes didn't properly make use of his large assets because he tended to live a private life and didn't need many things.

Even the house he's living in now is just a normal two story house in a semi-decent neighborhood.

So a few days ago he made plans and reserved a table in Gotham's best restaurant.

He reserved all the tables around his as well as he wanted it it be private.

He was originally going to rent out the whole place for the night but the manager said that he couldn't rent it out as the owner coming to dine tonight and he really couldn't be bothered to make the owner cancel his plans at his own restaurant so had to settle with a corner rather than the whole place.

After Drystans car pulled up to the address that miss Gordon gave him, he got out and went to knock on the door.

The house she lived in was quite big but he knew from the information that he got that the reason she could afford such a large house is that she has a couple roommates that she lives with.

After knocking a few times a beautiful blonde women opens the door a said "what do you want?" with an aggravated tone of voice clearly not happy having to answer the door.

"I'm here to pick up Barbara for lunch, is she in?" He said

Drystan didn't know why but she gave him such bad feeling so he decided to keep their interaction brief and to investigate her to figure why she makes him feel such a way after he gets home later.

She took a moment to look him up and down before saying "she's not in so get lost!" and slamming the door on my face.

Drystan was standing awkwardly outside the door as he didn't expect to have the door slammed on him and was unsure of what to do for a moment.

Eventually he decided to give Barbara a call and ask what's up and why she wasn't home.

After calling he didn't have to wait long before she picked up and said "Hello?"

"Hello miss Gordon, its Drystan Doyle, i'm here at your house but when i knocked and asked if you were in they said you were out." he explained calmly. "Do we need to reschedule?"

"What! I'm here just give me a minute to get ready!" she exclaimed loudly over the phone.

"Time got away from me so please give me five minutes to get ready really quick and ill be out!" she yelled hurriedly.

"Miss Gordon there's no need to hurry, I will be waiting outside whenever your ready so take your time we have time before our reservation anyways." Drystan said softly before hanging up.

He then immediately dialed a different number "This is Drystan Doyle, I am going to be thirty minutes behind schedule so make sure to remake the food so that its ready when we arrive." He demanded over the phone as if he hadn't just ruined the chefs efforts and put some serious pressure on them to have his food prepared in half an hour.

After all even if he doesn't frequently indulge in luxury he is still used to getting his way when he does as he is a young, rich, genius billionaire.

After standing outside the door for a good twenty minutes the door opened Barbara rolled out.

She was wearing a somewhat casual outfit with a blue sweater that had black stripes going down with a small black long sleeved shirt that would show her midriff without the sweater over it. Her sweater was tucked into a pair of tight brown jeans that he didn't know how she got on considering her condition.

He on the other hand was wearing a simple black suit with a white shirt underneath.

"I'm sorry you had to wait so long." she said looking nervous, afraid that Drystan would be mad having had to wait for so long. "I had some trouble getting ready."

"Its fine, actually I thought you would take longer than this to get ready so I was ready to wait for a while longer." he reassured her.

He didn't want her to think he was on edge all evening so he added "I'm just glad someone wants to eat with me. I swear I haven't been invited out to eat in months."

It was a lie as people try to invite him out to eat almost everyday just to get an opportunity to kiss his ass.

It was true that he hadn't been out to eat though because he has been busy the last couple months much to the irk of his long line of kiss asses.

After getting to he car he opened the back door and helped her get in before taking her wheelchair and putting it in the truck.

She originally wanted to get in herself but struggled a little bit as she still wasn't used to being in a wheelchair before she allowed him to help as she fell out of her chair.

After that he went around a got in the backseat from the other side. She was about to ask what he was doing before the car started moving.

"Nice car." she said while admiring the interior.

Yesterday he had been thinking about their outing before realizing that he doesn't own any suitable cars to pick her up in.

Even though he's rich he had only bought 1 car previously that he had been driving since he was seventeen and it was a two seater Ferrari which would be much to small considering her condition.

So yesterday he sent some people to buy him a luxury four door car so that they could have a more comfortable ride so now they are sitting in a rolls-royce enjoying their ride.

"Thanks I just bought it the other day so besides me and the driver your the only other person that's been in it." he said cheerfully.

He was happy to spend time talking to a pretty girl as even though he was popular with the ladies in both lives he was also quite busy juggling his hobbies and his work so he didn't go out on many dates.

They continued to have small talk until they arrived at their venue the Ocelot.

He had been here in the past and the standards were good so he decided her here for their meal.

Drystan got out of the car and retrieved her wheelchair before helping her into it.

Then they headed into the Ocelot and were greeted by several waiters and waitresses that appeared to have been waiting on them.

They then were lead to their table and asked what drinks they would like to be served.

She looked at Drystan to answer as he had already told her previously on the way here that he would be paying for it.

Initially she was against it but after figuring out where they were heading she gave in as it was very expensive to eat here.

"Just bring us what I had asked for" He said giving a look to the waiter as he had already instructed them on what he would like brought to his table.

After that they had a nice amiable meal until they were interrupted once again, except that this time it wasn't by a waiter.

"EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND... NOW!!!"
