Rashad looked at Liam after telling him to have a seat. “Liam...as your friend, you need to listen to me,” Rashad spoke and he and Liam sat on the stools at the kitchen counter.

“Rashad, I just need to speak to her. It’s fine,” Liam waved him off.

“I really need you to be the one that does the listening...she’s really upset with you and I know why. I don’t think you do.”

“Because I was interrupting her in the meeting. I know. I was just trying to help. You know how Neville can be.”

“This isn’t about Neville! This is about you...and not just interrupting her. Liam, I’m trying to do you a favor before you get your head ripped off...or worse, your nuts kicked by both Genevieve and Anitah.”

Liam looked at Rashad confused. “Ok...what?” He scoffed.

"When you interrupted her to answer the questions for her, she felt incapable and you made her feel like a fool. A woman like Anitah doesn't need someone to speak for her. She does a good job expressing herself on her own. Then when she tried to tell you how it made her feel, you brushed it off...and...um...basically told her she was only meant to sit there and look pretty. Had that been me with Gen, I would have gotten slapped in the meeting without a doubt. She’s my girlfriend not my wife. So I don’t even want to think what she’d do to me if we were actually married. Be aware there is probably a hit on your life right now, unless you listen to your wife and apologize for being...well, an egotistical man.”

Liam shook his head. “Rashad, that is ridiculous! I didn’t mean it that way! I’m not going to apologize because she took my words out of context! All she had to do was ask me about it. Not go out and get drunk because she was angry with me because she misunderstood.”

“I really wish you’d listen to me...I saw the look on her face. I observed from an unbiased point of view. She wanted to hurt you. Then she got drunk and wanted to murder you. She’s usually a happy, fun drunk.” Rashad looked at Liam thoughtfully. “Don’t you remember a while ago when I told Gen our relationship was a mistake? I was lucky that she took me back and forgave me. I knew what I did was wrong and totally out of line. You seem to think that what you said and did was chivalrous. Please believe me when I say that it wasn’t. Let me ask you this...is it treason if the Queen and her tiny gang of friends kills the King?”

Liam rolled his eyes. “Rashad, it’s not that big of a deal. I’ll just explain to her that’s not what I meant. That she took it out of context. I’ve got this. I know how to handle my wife.”

Rashad shook his head. “You really are stubborn. Good luck, man. I’ll see you at the ball later tonight.” Rashad stood up and started to walk from the kitchen, but stopped and turned around. “One last thing...doesn’t Domvallier take the throne if there’s no heir?” He left the room chuckling shaking his head.

Liam sat there for a moment taking in his friends words, but he didn’t see why he couldn’t just explain to Anitah that she was the one who took his words out of context. He by no means meant that she was supposed to sit there and just look pretty. He knew there were some members of the court, like Neville and Madeline, who would try to undermine her being that she was still considered an outsider and she was also new to being Queen.

He was afraid that if he didn’t show up to that meeting, and step in when he did, that Neville along with a few others would try to purposely make her look foolish, to get her worked up knowing that this was her first solo proposal to the council. She just misinterpreted what he was saying and his reasons behind doing what he did. He was only trying to keep the vultures at bay, he was helping her, and he couldn’t understand why she would see it differently.

As far as the picture of his gorgeous Queen comment, Anitah had the ability to rope people into conversation, most diplomats and nobility drawn to her before she even spoke a word to them. And that was why he said they made the perfect team. She could talk to practically anyone striking up conversation, leading them into the topic at hand and Liam would be the one to seal the deal in the end with negotiations and deals. Play to each of our strengths, he thought to himself. That’s all he meant, there was no foulness behind what he was thinking or what he said.

Liam heard Genevieve and Anitah talking in the foyer and walked out, her purse thrown over her shoulder. “I’ll see you tonight,” she gave Genevieve a hug. “Thanks for letting me stay here last night.”

“No problem,” Genevieve shot Liam a glare and he subtly rolled his eyes. He would try and talk to her once they were in the SUV.

Liam said his goodbyes to Rashad and Genevieve and he and Anitah walked to the waiting SUV where Bastien was waiting with Brad. Anitah slid in and Brad turned and looked at her and she tucked her lips between her teeth. “Morning, Brad,” she sheepishly grinned.

“Your majesty,” he tried hiding his smile as he shook his head and turned back around.

Liam slid in and shut the door, the vehicle heading back to the palace. “Love...” Liam took her hand in his and she side eyed him. “I think we need to talk...”

“I think we need to wait until we’re alone,” she motioned to Bastien and Brad.

Liam smiled and she arched her brow, his smile fading at her not so happy expression. “Oh...right, ok.”

The ride back to the palace was silent and once they pulled up Anitah hopped out, not waiting for someone to open her door and walked inside, Liam hot on her tail. They entered their quarters and she walked to their room straight to her closet sifting through her dresses trying to find one to wear to the ball that night. “

“Anitah...”

“Liam...” She didn’t turn to face him.

“Can we talk now, please?”

“Go ahead. Talk...”

He closed his eyes for a moment. “Look...I understand that you’re upset with me about the council meeting yest-“

“Liam...the council meeting is least of my concerns.”

“And with what I said after the meeting...but you took what I said out of context, my love.”

She finally turned to look at him. “Please explain to me how I took you telling me that I’m ‘very good at looking pretty’ out of context...”

“I didn’t mean it the way it sounded, Anitah. I know that you’re not a trophy wife. I simply meant that we each have our own strengths to work with. You and your ability to draw people in and me with negotiating skills.”

“Are...are you hearing yourself right now?” She leaned forward, hands in her hips. “So you’re saying that I draw people in with my what, Liam? My good looks? Because no one could possibly be interested in having a conversation with me for what I have to say, it’s all about this,” she circled her hand around her face.

“No,” he dropped his head pinching the bridge of his nose. “Love, I know that you are far more than a pretty face!”

“But no one else does in your opinion...so instead of letting me handle things and show that I actually know what the fuck I’m doing, we’ll just let other people assume that I’m just a pretty face. Is that right?” She shook her head and turned plucking a gold sheath gown off the rack. “Is this ok for tonight? Will I make you shine with me on your arm wearing this?” She threw the dress at him. “Or how about this one?” She plucked a black off the shoulder gown down throwing it into his arms. “Or this?” A navy blue gown went flying across the small room smacking Liam in the face. “Please, Liam, tell me which dress I can wear that will make you look your damn best with your pretty wife on your arm!”

Liam dropped the dresses to the floor at his feet narrowing his eyes at his wife. “Stop, Anitah! I’m only trying to help you! To protect you from people at court and outside of court who choose to believe or doubt certain things about you and your abilities!”

“Like I told you yesterday, Liam, I don’t need saving! I’m not a damsel in distress! I need my husband to stand by me and support me and not when it’s just the two of us and no one can hear him say it, but publicly! And you don’t! You tell me I’m capable behind closed doors, but then when we’re in front of others you act the complete opposite! I don’t need you to hold my hand like a child! I need you to back me up! But instead of doing that, you have this mindset that it’s ok to allow people to believe that I’m nothing more than your pretty, insignificant Queen!” She stepped past him and out of the closet as he turned to go after her. “Do not follow me!” She shouted before she slammed the bedroom door shut behind her.

Anitah spent the rest of the day avoiding Liam as she seethed from their earlier conversation. He wasn’t getting her point at all and it was absolutely infuriating to her. And he had yet to even apologize for anything that he had done or said which was only making her more irritated.

She stood in the bedroom getting dressed in the gold gown she had thrown at Liam earlier. She fixed her hair into loose curls and slipped on her jewelry and heels before grabbing her clutch and walking out of the room. Her phone went off, Alicia telling her that the girls were all waiting for her downstairs in the foyer. She walked to their quarters door and opened it, Liam on the other side about to open it as well coming to get her.

“Love,” he softly spoke as he looked over her, a smile spreading on his lips. “You look-“

“Pretty? Thanks...” she stepped past him and walked down the hall. He let out a heavy exhale as he shut their door and walked behind her.

Anitah met the other girls down in the foyer and they all walked into the ballroom as the guys waited for Liam to come down. They watched as their King slowly slumped down the steps, his eyes locked on Anitah as she disappeared into the ballroom, each one of them trying to stifle their laugh.

“Hey, Li...I hear you’re in the dog house...” Drake chuckled.

“How did you hear...never mind.” Liam shook his head knowing Pam had said something. Rashad was right, these woman were like a small gang, and if one of them was pissed, they all were pissed. “It’s ridiculous! I tried talking to her earlier,” he spoke quietly as they all walked into the ballroom, “and she threw her dresses at me.”

They made it up to the bar, each one ordering their drinks. “Did you apologize?” Rashad asked.

“I didn’t get that far...”

They all shook their heads. “Well Alicia was going off about it to me,” Leo said.

“Same with Pam. I think her exact words were ‘he’s a disgusting chauvinist pig and should have his testicles removed and shoved down his throat’.”

Liam shot them all a look as they laughed. “She took what I said and what I did the wrong way! As I told Rashad, I was only trying to help.”

“She can handle her own, Li. She has no problem putting people in their place...just like she’s doing with you right now,” Leo laughed.

Liam glanced over to see Anitah making her rounds greeting the other members of court figuring he needed to do the same. “I’ll catch up with you guys later.” He set his drink down and began mingling.

The night continued on and Liam made all his needed rounds before deciding to take a break. He glanced over to see the guys standing at the bar with the other girls as Anitah approached them getting herself a drink. He walked up to them greeting the other ladies, getting stares from each of them and fake smiles as they tried playing nice even though he knew each one of them had him on their radars.

“Ladies, you all look beautiful tonight.”

“Yes, Liam knows a pretty one when he sees one, girls.” Anitah tossed back her almost full glass of champagne. “Now, just make sure you all stand here tonight and look pretty.” She set her glass down, Liam’s eyes locked on her. “Excuse me.” She walked away from the bar.

Liam went wide eyed. “What did I do now?”

As he said the words the girls all rounded on him, each one looking up at him through narrowed eyes. Drake, Rashad, Leo and Maxwell’s eyes went wide.

“Liam’s gonna die, isn’t he?” Maxwell whispered to Leo out of the corner of his mouth as Leo subtly nodded his head in agreement as they all stood and watched.

“Seriously Liam, what is your problem? The weight of the big ass crown must have dulled your common sense,” Alicia shook her head walking after Anitah.

“Are all Cordonian men this dense, or is it a Rhys brother specialty?” Stephanie asked.

“Hey!” Leo looked over at her as Liam stared as well.

“I’m serious, Liam! I’d like to snatch a knot in your ass right about now,” she shook her head walking away following Alicia.

“What did you do?” Pam scoffed. “Smart guy like you should have figured it out by now, right? You have all the answers. Tell me, Liam, it’s not enough power for you to run a country? To have everyone at your beck and call? You really need to strip Anitah of any ability she has to contribute to this great monarch of yours? But that's just the point isn’t it, your majesty. It’s YOUR monarch, YOUR council and YOUR country. Good thing you have a smart, educated and capable woman by your side to sit there and look pretty.” Pam turned walking away following the other two.

Genevieve shook her head at him. “Liam, Liam, Liam...you are in deep shit. You might only be married to Anitah, but you inherited all of us the day you said ‘I do’.” She pointed her finger at him then poked him in the middle of the chest. “So listen to me, and I swear the minute you open your mouth to interrupt me, I will kick you in the shin.” Drake and Rashad rubbed their hands over their mouths to stop the grins from showing as they watched. “You are a nice guy. You are a very sweet guy. And I like to think you’re intelligent, in most cases. But as a husband you are absolutely naive and stupid sometimes. You married her because she is the love of your life. Not only is she the love of your life, she’s also an amazing Queen and your biggest supporter. You made the one person that believes in you the most feel insignificant and incapable. If you can’t figure out that what you did was wrong, then maybe it’s time you start listening to someone other than yourself.” She kicked him in the shin before turning and stormed away.

Liam bent over grabbing his leg. “Son of b...aahhh!” He growled as the guys all snorted. “Does she have steel toed heels on?Jesus Christ!”

“I told you earlier, man, they’re like a tiny gang!” Rashad laughed. “I’ve been on the end of that before, and I do not want to be anywhere near it again.”

“Same,” the other three all answered in unison before looking at one another clinking their glasses together and tossing back their drinks.

“You better squash this, Liam. They can be be damn ruthless,” Leo warned him.

The night ended and Liam was saying goodnight to the last of the nobles leaving. He happened to glance up seeing as Anitah made her way to the top of the stairs before disappearing from view as she headed back to their quarters.

Liam followed a short time later, walking the corridors at a slow pace, his hands stuffed in his pockets as he thought back on what the girls had all said to him earlier. Something that Genevieve had said was lingering in the forefront of his mind, more than anything else that had been said. You made the one person that believes in you the most feel insignificant and incapable.

He never meant to make her feel that way, only feeling as though he was protecting her, helping her. Now he was realizing the way his words came across and why she felt the way she did about it, too blinded by his own pride to see it before. He shook his head cursing himself under his breath as he made it to their quarters door and walked inside.

He saw the bedroom light on and slowly walk down the hall and turned leaning into the door frame as he watched Anitah remove her jewelry, now in her pajamas. She glanced up seeing him and quickly looked away. He took a few steps inside the bedroom and softly cleared his throat and she looked up at him.

"Anitah, my love...I didn’t realize what I said was so bad until the girls made me feel about this big,” he held his thumb and pointer fingers close together. “I am so sorry I made you feel that way. Please know that was never my intention.” She looked down for a moment. “I have this need to protect you even though you don’t need it. I know that you don’t, but I can’t help it. I remember watching you during the social season and the engagement tour...and how you persevered despite everything. I’m sorry that it took our friends to remind me exactly how strong you are...and that you never needed me to stand up for you to begin with.” He walked up to her brushing his hand across her cheek staring into her blue eyes. “My Queen, please forgive me. I am a fool. And please don’t take my calling you pretty as an insult. Not only are you beautiful, you’re also smart, caring, resourceful and very capable. I’m a very lucky man...who got humbled by some very tiny women.”

Anitah let out a soft chuckle as she looked up at him. “I don’t need you to protect me all the time, Liam. I just need to know that you support me. That you have my back. I promise if I need help, I will ask for it. But I can handle myself. I know I’m new to all of this...but I’m never going to learn if you don’t allow me to figure it out on my own.”

“You have my support, always. And again...I’m sorry. I never meant to make you feel the way I did.” He leaned down pressing his lips to hers in a soft lingering kiss. “I love you.”

“I love you too, Liam.”

A couple of days later Anitah and Liam were in the conference room with the rest of the council as they were coming to a decision on whether or not to pass her proposal for the library upgrades. Liam was sitting while Anitah stood ready to take last minute questions and concerns from the council members.

They were ready to vote and Neville cleared his throat motioning that he he had something to say and Anitah could already feel the annoyance rising as she called on him.

Neville not once looked at her, but to Liam instead who was sitting beside her standing form. “King Liam...you’re wife’s library proposal seems to be an unnecessary expense. Seeing how she was unable to answer any of my questions without your input at the last meeting, I vote that we forgo her project this year.”

Liam narrowed his eyes as he sat forward about to say something when he caught Rashad’s stare. Rashad swiped his hand subtly across his throat motioning for him to stay quiet, a smirk forming on his lips as he looked to the Queen. Liam followed his gaze to Anitah who was glaring at Neville and he sat back staying silent.

"Lord Neville, you seem to be mistaken. I am very well versed in my project, so if you could please address your comments to me that would be appreciated. My dear husband only wanted to ensure that the council knew it had the King’s full support. As far as an unnecessary expense...I believe it is clear that this project won't take money away from current initiatives and will be funded through fundraisers. So tell me, Lord Neville...do you dislike this project because it is the Queen’s idea or is it your wish to stunt the children’s enrichment because you want to increase tourism to your golf course?”

Neville’s eyes slightly widened as he stared at the Queen whose expression was stern as she glared back. Rashad cleared his throat and looked down trying to hide his smile as Liam didn’t attempt to hide it at all, a wide grin forming. Rashad finally composed himself and looked up at her as she caught his eye and her shot her a wink, a smirk tugging in the corner of her mouth.

At the end of the meeting, Anitah’s proposal was passed, even Neville having changed his vote. She and Liam said goodbye to the members and as the last one left Liam shut the door.

He grabbed her hips and pulled her flush to him. “That...was...” he trailed off in a whisper with a smirk before he leaned down capturing her lips in his. “Sexy,” he whispered again against her lips as she chuckled.

“Oh? How sexy?” She grinned as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Let me show you,” his husky voice spoke as he reached over clicking the lock on the door.

SoL 38: Maxwell x Stef

Thanks for asking Mar( @brightpinkpeppercorn )!

As most already know that particular pairing existed within an au I'm no longer a part of, but they're still one of my favorites so I did this anyway 🤗 I hope you enjoy it ❤️❤️

Lost Keys

Maxwell stomped through the living room, brow furrowed. He tossed aside throw pillows and cushions on both the loveseat and the chair.

"They were here. I know they were I had them, sat them down next to the diaper bag-the diaper bag!" He grumbled barely audible.

He rifled through the baby bag, dumping the contents onto the floor. Dissatisfied, he rose and patted his pockets for the twelfth time- Stephanie had counted.

She peered over the top of her book to watch her husband shaking a decorative vase upside down.

"You've been searching for 45 minutes now. Why don't you just ask?" she giggled.

"Huh, what? Ask what?" Maxwell shook his head, hands planted firmly on his hips as he glanced at her.

"Ask me to help you find whatever it is you lost."

He reached up and rubbed the back of his neck, actively trying to avoid his wife's stare. There was absolutely no way he was going to tell her that he'd lost the keys to her brand new car. She would be livid- in fact it may even be grounds for divorce. Definitely not telling her.

He was positive he'd had them when he walked in the door. He'd sat Evie down, then the diaper bag. Where did he go next?

"That's alright, Rosebud, you just relax. I'm sure I'll find it on my own." he rattled out, striding towards the kitchen.

She quirked a brow and smirked as she watched him open the fridge and then close it, only to open it again. One after another he rifled through every drawer and every cabinet.

"Baby, why don't you just tell me what you're looking for?" Stephanie called from her place on the couch.

Maxwell wiped his hands down his face with a sigh, eyes going wide when he registered his wife's request. "Uh...it's not... I mean it's definitely something of mine that's of no concern...I just mean you don't have to worry about it, Red. It's not like I lost something important like the car keys or something."

She returned to her book, humming skeptically.

Maybe he'd taken them into the bedroom when he'd gone to the bathroom. Okay so those would be the next two spots to search- master bedroom and en suite.

Maxwell stalked down the hallway still muttering and patting his pockets.

Another hour had seen the baby wake up from her nap. It had also seen Lord Beaumont search the garden, Stephanie's dark room, all three bedrooms, the study and every toy box and crevice of Evie's playroom. He had also checked in every cranny of the shiny new SUV itself and still no precious car keys.

Stephanie pulled their daughter onto her lap and fitted her tiny shoes onto her feet.

"Find what you were lookin for?" She asked, sweeping Evie onto her hip and picking up the diaper bag from the floor.

She'd already repacked it in the wake of Maxwell's previous mess, but she peeked inside to double check.

"No. No luck yet, but I'm hopeful." Maxwell smiled weakly, scrubbing his hand down his face for the forty-fifth time- Stephanie had counted.

"I'm sorry, Sugar." the redhead frowned bending slightly to kiss her husband's forehead.

Puzzled he watched her make her way towards the door. She'd opened it and stepped a foot outside before he finally asked, "Wait a minute. Where are you going?"

A smug grin crept across Stephanie's features as she dangled the keys to her beloved SUV from her finger, turning to look at her husband.

"Mommy and me." she replied innocently.

Maxwell's jaw went slack.

"How did you? Where? Stef, did you know the whole time?"

She could no longer hold in her laughter as it burst from her lips, filling the room in an instant.

"I'm sorry, Sugar. You just looked so adorable in full stealthy panic mode," she started, clapping her hand over her mouth as Maxwell narrowed his eyes at her his tongue rolling along the inside of his cheek.

"Very funny, Rosebud. So where were they then, smarty-pants?"

"I watched Evelyn fish them out of your pocket when you first got home this morning. I just said, 'bring them to Mommy' and she brought them straight over."

Stephanie could scarcely breathe through her giggles and she watched her husband fold his arms across his chest.

"You two tiny gingers will be the death of me I swear." he huffed, but despite himself he smiled.

Paws for a Cause Part 1

This was a prompt request from @stopforamoment

This is a part of a TRR A/U called Cordonians Gone Wild, a collaborative effort by @ao719 @speedyoperarascalparty @leelee10898 @riseandshinelittleblossom and yours truly. Catch up HERE.

Summary: A furry friend joins the CGW squad which results in another boys vs. girls wager.

Rating: Fluff

Tag List: @hopefulmoonobject @fullbeaumonty @brightpinkpeppercorn @katurrade @krsnlove @alj4890 @zaffrenotes @annekebbphotography @carabeth @moneyfordiamonds @give-me-ernest-sinclaire @3pawandme @indiacater @ooo-barff-ooo @ownworldresident @tornbetween2loves @perfectprofessorherokid @stopforamoment @editboutique @wannabemc2 @enmchoices @lauradowning29 @lodberg @smalltalk88 @gibbles82 @heatherfilliez @noey718-blog @nikkis1983 @sweetest-marbear @classylady1234 @daniv2278

Liam picked up his desk phone and called Genevieve. “Hey, Gen. I have a surprise for Anitah, and I was hoping you'd be able to help me.”

“Sure! What's the surprise?”

“She's been talking non-stop about getting a puppy...the police shut down a puppy mill recently and the local animal shelter is housing them until they are adopted. I'd like to pick one out for her.”

“You're getting her a puppy! Oh my god, yes I'm coming with you!”

A little while later, Liam picked Genevieve up from Domvallier and they made their way to the animal shelter. Once inside, Genevieve could not contain her excitement. She sat in the middle of an enclosure that had five Jack Russell Terrier puppies inside. “They're all so cute! I want all of them!”

Liam chuckled, “One puppy, Gen. My wife is getting one puppy.”

Her bottom lip pouted, “but what if the puppy gets lonely and misses his brothers and sisters? You're the king, can't your hire dog nannies? ”

He shook his head, “I asked the wrong person to come with me.”

“Fine, one puppy. I think she would love this guy! Look at him, Liam. He's soooo cute.” She picked up a white puppy with brown markings on his face and ears and large brown asymmetric spots on his body. The puppy wriggled in her arms and licked her face making her giggle. “He's the one. He's so sweet. Anitah is going to die!”

He left her with the puppies while he filled out the paperwork. Once the documents were completed, the two of them along with their new furry friend hopped into the back of the SUV. “What are you going to name him?”

Liam sat quietly while observing the dog, “He looks like a Milo.”

“MILO! It's perfect isn't it, Milo? Oh, Liam, can I have him?”

He laughed, “you can babysit until tonight. I need him to stay with you until Anitah is done with her meetings. Everyone will be arriving at the palace before dinner for the start of the social season tomorrow. Gen, you have to bring him with you…”

She giggled, “Fine. I don't need to be arrested for kidnapping the royal canine. I can't wait to see her face.”

They said their goodbyes, and she entered the estate with the pup. As soon as she opened the door, Demetrius was standing there talking to the majordomo. He stopped mid sentence and turned his attention to Milo. “You got a puppy? Is this my new grand dog?” He picked up the little ball of fur, and Milo immediately started licking his face. Demetrius let out a hearty laugh.

“He's actually a surprise for Anitah. Liam asked me to babysit and bring him to the palace later. Want to go play with him in my quarters?”

“Your Grace, do you wish to continue our discussion later?” Raphael asked him.

“Yes, yes later. I'm busy.” He followed Genevieve to hers and Rashad’s chambers. She set out a bowl of water and another bowl with food for the puppy. He happily wagged his tail as he drank and ate. Milo disappeared, but neither Genevieve nor Demetrius noticed. Rashad came home a short while later and was greeted by the white puppy with a men’s black dress shoe in his mouth. “What the hell is that and is that my shoe in its mouth?”

Genevieve peeked around and saw Milo with the shoe hanging out of his mouth. She covered her mouth, “umm, no I don't think so…”

Demetrius stood up, “Would you look at the time? I have to get going. Goodbye, my darling girl. See you later little, Milo! Bye, son.” He kissed her cheek, scratched Milo behind the ear and quickly walked to the door.

She stood up and pulled Rashad into a kiss. “Honey, meet his royal highness, Prince Milo. We are bringing him with us to the palace later.”

“Ok good. I like dogs, but that looks like a rat.” He shook his head and walked into the bedroom. A few minutes later she heard, “FUCK! I just stepped in dog shit!”

She looked at the puppy and started laughing, “I think Uncle Rashad is mad, Milo. You have to be extra nice to him when he comes back.” The dog cocked his head and his tail started swaying side to side as if he understood her.

After getting ready and packed for the palace, Rashad and Genevieve got into their car. Milo happily sat in her lap. Rashad reached his hand over to the passenger seat. Genevieve went to hold it, but he dodged her hand, petting the puppy on his head.

“Someone's soft for you, Milo. I knew he wouldn't be able to resist you.” She giggled which made him roll his eyes.

“He's cute, but don't get any ideas. I don't want any pets, not right now anyway,” he took her hand in his as he continued to drive. They pulled up the palace and walked towards the royal chambers. Rashad knocked and Liam answered the door. “Perfect timing, she's just getting changed.”

Anitah walked into the living room and froze, “Is that..is that...a puppy?” She knelt down on the floor, and Milo bolted towards, knowing she was his new mommy. “Yes, love, he's your puppy. His name is Milo.”

“Milo? It's literally the perfect name!” Anitah burst into tears. “Liam, thank you!” She said still crying. “Hello, Milo, I'm your mommy.” She put the puppy down and hugged Liam. Milo decided to explore his new home and disappeared. The four friends sat and talked when there was a knock on the door. Brad entered and Milo ran out the door with a brown loafer in his mouth.

“Brad! The dog! Go get the dog!” Liam shouted. “Was that my shoe that he took with him?” Anitah and Genevieve burst out laughing.

Genevieve said, “He likes shoes, but he prefers men’s shoes. Especially expensive leather, right honey?” Rashad just shook his head.

Meanwhile in the hall, Milo turned around and saw Brad chasing after him. He wagged his tail while still holding Liam's shoe in his mouth. “Come here little doggy. Come here…” Brad said in a singsong voice, not wanting to frighten him. He was about to reach down and pick him up when Milo took off running again. He dropped the shoe and turned the corner. Thoroughly enjoying this game, he sat down and waited for Brad. However, before Brad could get to him, he started scratching at a door.

Leo opened the door and looked around the hall before looking down and seeing the puppy by his feet. “Hey little guy. Who the heck do you belong to?” Milo let himself into Leo and Alicia’s quarters. Leo shrugged and walked in after him. Brad turned the corner and panicked. The dog was gone, and he had no idea where the dog went.

“Leo...why is there a dog here?” Alicia asked.

Leo chuckled, “he knocked on the door, and just walked in. I have no idea where the hell he came from.”

Milo strutted around the apartment, sniffing everything in sight. He came back to the living room and jumped on the couch. He plopped down on Alicia’s lap, making her giggle.

“I'm usually more of a cat person, but he's so cute! Aren't you so cute?” Milo barked in agreement. He jumped off the couch and disappeared into one of the bedrooms. Alicia straddled Leo on the couch and pulled him into a hard kiss. Then they heard a faint vibrating noise and looked over at Milo. He was standing in the living room, wagging his tail with a vibrator in his mouth.

Alicia yelled, “Leo! Get that from him!”

Leo got off the couch and chased Milo into the kitchen. He ran a couple of laps around the kitchen table before dropping the sex toy on the floor. Leo chuckled as he picked it up. All of a sudden a foul odor hit his nose. He looked down as Milo relieved himself on the kitchen floor. “Alicia, get him out of here!”

Gagging at the sight, Alicia opened the main the door. Milo happily walked out of their chambers into the hall where he spotted Brad. He sat down in the middle of the hallway, and Brad slowly approached him. “Alright, puppy, stay. Stay, ok?” As soon as Brad took a another step towards him, Milo ran off towards the kitchen. Every once in a while, he turned around to make sure Brad was still following him.

Stephanie and Maxwell were at the kitchen island enjoying some snacks. Milo snuck through the kitchen door as one of the staff was leaving. He beelined towards the couple hoping to get some scraps.

Stephanie’s eyes widened, "Baby, what is that?!"

Maxwell looked down and immediately started baby talking, "Aww! Wook at the widdle puppy.”

She wrinkled her nose, "That's not a dog that's a gerbil."

“Stef, don't call him a that! He's precious!" Maxwell scooped him up and started kissing Milo’s precious face.

“Do you want a snack little guy?” Maxwell grabbed a piece of cheese, and Milo eagerly accepted the morsel. He put the puppy down on the counter, and Milo walked up to the tray of snacks. Maxwell let out a belly laugh watching the puppy gobble up the cheese and sausage from the tray.

“Rosebud, can we keep him…”

She immediately cut him off, “Oh heck no! You have Evie. You don't need a hamster. Besides he clearly has an owner if he's in the palace. This place is like Fort Knox, no stray could just waltz in here.”

Maxwell's face fell and she patted his hand. “We can talk more about it some other day, ok hon?”

“I'll wear you down eventually, Red.”

This made Stephanie giggle, knowing her husband was right. She was just as soft for him as Drake was for the people he loved. Brad burst through the kitchen door. Milo wagged his tail and barked at his friend. He jumped off the kitchen island and ran to the door.

Maxwell followed him and asked, “You need to go outside, little buddy? Here you go.”

He opened the door as Brad yelled, “Noooo!”

Milo ran into the yard smelling the fresh air. He laid down in the grass and waited for Brad. Once Milo saw him, he bolted towards the stables with Brad hot on his heels. Milo walked into the stable and pranced from horse stall to horse stall, making sure to bark hello to his new friends. Having heard the bark, Drake turned around and smiled.

He picked up the wriggly puppy and asked him, "Hey, what are you doing out here alone, little buddy?"

“Where do you think he came from, Drake? He's so little.”

Pam patted his head in an attempt to show the puppy some form of affection. Milo licked Drake's face which made him chuckle. “Pam, we should get a dog. He could keep me company while I’m with the horses. Dogs are also known to help them during the rehabilitation process.”

Pam smiled at her husband and said, “No.”

Drake’s face fell, “But I just told you that there’s benefits for the horses and the stable.”

Pam rolled her eyes, “Baby, that’s a lot of responsibility. I really don’t want a dog.” she whispered so he couldn’t hear her, “I don’t like animals.”

“What was that?” Drake asked with a raised brow.

“Nothing, I said we can discuss it.” She leaned in and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips.

Brad pushed open the stable doors, his eye twitching when he saw Milo in Drake’s arms. “Do not put that little fucker down. I’ve been chasing him around the palace for the past hour. He’s been taunting me.”

Pam and Drake broke into laughter as Milo tried to struggle free from Drake’s grasp. Brad took hold of Milo, and the puppy immediately started squirming in his arms.

“No, you don’t. You are going back to Queen Anitah.” Brad stomped back to the palace. He knocked on the door of royal chambers and Anitah happily took Milo into her arms.

“Aww, baby, where’d you go? Did Brad give you a hard time for running off with daddy’s shoe?” Anitah looked at Brad trying to hold back a laugh.

Brad mumbled under his breath, “He acts just like his mommy. God help me when they have actual children.”

Anitah turned to him, “What was that Bradley?”

“Nothing ma’am.” Brad quickly left the room.

Genevieve burst out laughing, “He basically said you’re both assholes!”

Liam could no longer hold back his laughter. “You called him Bradley! Can we fire him now?”

“Absolutely not! He’s fun to torture and it looks like Milo picked up pretty quickly on that. Didn’t you, baby boy?” She kissed her pup’s face and he returned them with his own sloppy kisses on her cheek.

The rest of the group came to Anitah and Liam’s chambers for dinner. It would be the last casual dinner they would have once the social season started. Once everyone realized that Milo was Anitah’s new puppy, everyone got excited knowing they would see a lot of him. Liam told everyone that the animal shelter was inundated with animals because of the puppy mill raid. Maxwell, Drake and Genevieve turned to their significant others with pleading puppy dog eyes and each were met with a resounding “No!” from their partners. Liam expressed his concern for the animal shelter since it was almost at capacity and funds were tight before having to house the additional dogs.

“What if we did a fundraiser for the shelter? Anitah said to the group.

“As long as it doesn’t involve being naked or being on a date with someone else, I’ll consider it,” Alicia replied with her arms crossed.

“How about a calendar with each of us posing with animals? All of the money raised from the calendar sales would go to shelter. It might even encourage people to adopt. I’m a photographer, I could take all of the pictures, which means we’d save money,” Stephanie said.

The group looked intrigued at her suggestion. “So do we have all of us pose for the calendar and then some group shots or do you think it would sell better if it was just the ladies?” Pam asked.

Leo snickered, “Come on girls! You know that women are suckers for animals. Add us guys posing with them, we would definitely sell more calendars.”

“That sounds like a challenge, pretty boy,” Genevieve said with a smirk.

Rashad held his arms up, “Whoa, whoa. Before we start betting anything…”

Leo cut him off, “You’re on! We will do a men’s calendar and you ladies do a women’s calendar. The group with the most sales wins!”

“You’re going down, Rhys! And when we win, you guys have to do a carwash in speedos to raise additional money for the shelter. Cordonia would love to see their king and Playboy Prince all wet and soapy.” Anitah said with a laugh.

“Fine! If you girls lose, which you will. I mean come on, we can’t lose every single challenge. You get to clean up dog poop and the animal shelter for an entire day,” Leo responded with a smug grin.

Drake slapped his forehead while Rashad covered his face. Liam sat there with his mouth open, unsure of what just happened. Maxwell turned to Stephanie with a concerned look on his face, “Rosebud, do you want to, uh, switch teams for this one? I feel like I should be with the girls.”

Stephanie threw her head back and laughed, “Oh, honey, no. You’re with the boys on this one.”

Sugar and Spice [Maxwell Lord x Reader] - Prologue

Summary: When you are evicted from your apartment by your toxic ex boyfriend and have no place to go, who do you turn to? Alone in the city as the countdown to Christmas begins, you find yourself applying for a job as the assistant of the world’s biggest entrepreneur; Maxwell Lord. Little do you know, he has other intentions for you. No doubt about it, this Christmas will truly be like no other.

Word count: 2.8k

Warnings: Eventual smut, mentions of a previous verbally abusive relationship, typical 80s misogyny (but very little of it), mentions of food and drink, alcohol consumption.

But in this chapter - themes of a sexual nature.

Author’s note: Everything in bold italics is a flashback. Yay! This is the first part of my sugar daddy/sugar baby Maxwell Lord x f!reader Christmas fic. If you want to be tagged in future parts please let me know! Enjoy x

MASTERLIST | SUBMIT REQUESTS

PREVIOUS - PROLOGUE - NEXT

It was an exciting day for the staff at Black Gold Cooperative, and exciting days at Black Gold Cooperative were often hard to come by. Every year Maxwell Lord would begrudgingly allow his staff to take a few hours out of their work schedule to help decorate his main headquarters in time for Christmas. Christmas music boomed throughout each floor as everyone from secretaries, associates, chefs and cleaners would help each other engage in festive decorating. It was so much fun, everyone was beaming and laughing. The staff made sure to enjoy every second of it because they knew by tomorrow it would all be over.

Brittany, one of Maxwell Lord’s three assistants, had designated her input to the main lobby as she ushered in loggers who had cut down the forest’s biggest Christmas tree. They were pushing it into the lobby but struggling to get it through the double doored main entrance. Fern and pine cones nudged off the tree and rolled along the red carpet in the entryway.

“What are you just standing there for? Go help them!” she commanded the doorman, Andreas, with a roll of her eyes. The tall and strong built doorman walked over to the loggers and asked them if they needed any help.

Brittany turned around when she saw the dazzling yellow gold fairy lights strung delicately along the grand staircase. Her heart stopped when she saw the man of her dreams walk down them. Her very own prince Charming. Maxwell Lord was in a daze as he looked around the lobby of his company’s headquarters. Christmas lights sparkle and shine all around him, tinsel and banners strung up over paintings and portraits. Maxwell would never involve himself with the Christmas decorating but he did have a duty to check that it wasn’t overly tacky each year.

His dark blonde hair glistened golden under the fairylights that surrounded him, and he looked so incredibly smart in his light blue suit jacket, lilac shirt and royal purple tie with matching pocket square. Of course he looked just as smart every day but it was always special when he chose to wear colour instead of just chiaroscuro. Brittany caught on to Maxwell’s confused expression when his eyes locked onto the struggling loggers and his doorman pushing a Christmas tree through the double door.

“What’s going on over there?” Maxwell asked as his other assistant, Stephanie, who handed him his go-to black coffee. Brittany approached him with a wide smile.

“They’re struggling because we decided to get a bigger Christmas tree this year. They’ve spent the past half an hour trying to push it through the door.” Brittany explained, scrunching her nose up in dismay.

“And who’s idea was it to get a bigger Christmas tree?” Maxwell asked, folding his arms against his chest. The loggers had finally pushed it through and were now trying to position it just by the left of the grand staircase. Maxwell huffed out an annoyed sigh as he saw the mess of fern that had trailed in behind the tree.

“Andreas’ idea.” Brittany pointed at the exhausted doorman who was now covered in dirt from trying to move the Christmas tree. That was a lie. It had been Brittany’s idea to get a bigger tree. Stephanie narrowed her eyes and shook her head at her colleague.

Maxwell Lord sauntered away from his assistant’s and to the shop that was located just by the main reception help desk. He’d go there everyday and purchase the same bar of chocolate and chat up the lady who he had working behind the counter.

Everyone continued with their decorating, humming the lyrics to Do They Know It’s Christmas by BandAid which had just been released that week. Seeing everyone so jolly lit a fire in Maxwell’s heart. It reminded him of his own childhood.

The only reason he kept up with the tradition of decorating Black Gold Cooperative for Christmas was because his father used to allow it too. And it was one of the only times of the year he got to spend with him. Maxwell remembered the way his father would lift him onto his shoulders and encourage Maxwell to put the star on the top of the tree. Once the young boy managed to do so, the whole of his father’s office would cheer and applaud for him. The pride was something that elated a young Maxwell and he loved the validation that he got from, not only his father’s inferiors, but most importantly, his own father.

Maxwell would accompany his father around the office and watch as he gave gifts to his employees. He was more than generous, handing things out such as expensive bottles of champagne and tickets to Santa’s grotto to those he knew had families.

“I want to go see Santa,” a young Maxwell wailed one year.

“And what could you possibly want to see Santa for?” Maxwell’s father laughed, pinching his son’s chubby cheeks. “You already have every single toy you could possibly want.”

Maxwell frowned, his chocolate brown eyes sparkling. “I want to meet Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.” the child admitted, folding his arms and puffing out his cheeks.

“I see.” Maxwell’s father chuckled before picking his son up and planting a kiss on his forehead. “You know daddy’s busy, but what if you ask mommy to take you?”

“Mommy never takes me anywhere.” Maxwell frowned sadly and his father nodded understandably, his arms tightening around his son as he hugged him. He knew his wife was an absent mother but there was so little he could do about it.

“Maybe next year, huh son? Would you like that? Daddy can try and get some time off work.” Maxwell nodded sadly as his father put him to the ground. “Now go to your playroom. I want you to finish writing your Christmas list so we can send it to Santa Claus.” His father encouraged. “Remember I want you to do your best cursive handwriting. Can you do that for me?”

Maxwell nodded happily before padding away to his playroom. Despite his father’s empty promises, he never got the chance to meet Santa Claus or speak to Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. He never got to experience the same things as other children his age did.

"Mr Lord, I was thinking we position the Christmas tree here. Decorate it with black and gold baubles, of course— oh, and tinsel too. What do you think?" Brittany asked, interrupting her boss’ thoughts. She twirled her finger in the air, gesturing for the logger’s to rotate the tall pine tree into a slightly new position. "That's much better. Now, Amanda wanted an angel on the top, bit I was thinking a gold glittered star would be much more fitting-"

The star at the top of the tree. Just like his childhood. Maxwell shook away the painful memories. He held his hand out, in a motion that would connote ‘stop’. Brittany listened. "I don't care." Maxwell said, looking up at the tree and shaking his head. Brittany’s grip tightened around her clipboard as she followed her boss to the grand staircase.

"Right, of course. My bad sir. But I was thinking how nice it may be, for you to have a Christmas tree in your own office?"

"And what purpose will that serve?" Maxwell asked with half a sigh before taking a sip of his espresso. His face soured at the bitter taste and he threw the practically full cup into the trash. He had forgotten how fast his hot drinks would turn cold during the incoming winter period. "What the fuck does it take to get a decent coffee around here?" He muttered to himself, but loud enough for Stephanie to hear. Stephanie scowled. No matter what she just couldn’t make a nice coffee.

"It would look nice," Brittany beamed. "Festive."

"No." Maxwell replied, checking the time on his gold wristwatch. Slightly alarmed, he turned away from the lit up staircase and he began to approach the elevator, Brittany continuing to follow quickly behind him.

"Sir, don't you like Christmas?" Brittany asked her boss curiously.

"No." Maxwell repeated, his voice just as monotone as before. He really didn’t want to talk about this.

"But why not?"

"Brittany do I pay you to ask me questions?" Maxwell snapped, spinning around on his heel and grabbing his assistant by her chin. She looked up at her boss, fluttering her dark eyelashes which framed her emerald coloured eyes.

"No sir." She replied innocently, biting her lower lip. Maxwell smirked, his grip tightening on her.

"What do I pay you for?" he growled quietly, his face just inches away from hers.

"You pay me to look pretty and be there whenever you may need any assistance." Brittany remembered his exact words from the day he hired her.

"Good girl," Maxwell praised. "I don't appreciate all these questions from you. You want to put your mouth to good use? I suggest you shut up and head to my office. Undress yourself. I'll be five minutes."

Brittany nodded with an eager smile spread across her face and bolted up the grand staircase. Once Maxwell had shared a few polite sentiments and signed a few autographs from the loggers who had come in with the Christmas tree, he took the elevator to the 22nd floor of his office.

Amanda, who was manning the desk outside of Maxwell’s personal office, rolled her eyes as she noticed Maxwell following Brittany in there just minutes after. Knowing what they’d both be up to, she continued filing her nails - trying to get the perfect shape when her colleague, Stephanie, practically fell out of the elevator when the door slid open to the 22nd floor of Black Gold Cooperative’s headquarters.

In shock, Amanda dropped her nail file on the floor and her head bolted upright, gaze following a heaving and panting Stephanie. Stephanie ran to the desk, grabbing the corners so hard her knuckles turned white, panic spread across her face.

"Stephanie, what's wrong?" Amanda asked, tilting her head slightly.

"She's here." Stephanie was gasping for breath, fear prevailing in her ice blue eyes. Stephanie didn’t have to say who exactly had entered the premises because her tone said it all.

"That's impossible." Amanda scoffed, rolling her eyes and picking her nail file up.

"I saw her," Stephanie continued. "Downstairs. In the lobby. I was trying to make Mr Lord a new and improved espresso and she just threw her fur jacket on me - like I was some kind of coat rack. She'll be up here any second now. Where is Brittany?"

That’s when the fear dawned on Amanda.

Now also panicked, Amanda looked at the large double doors at the end of the room which led into Maxwell Lord's personal and private office. Stephanie's gaze followed and her ruby red lips parted into a perfect ’o’ shape. "She's not… is she?" Stephanie shook her head in disbelief. Amanda nodded her head, agreeing to Stephanie’s insinuation. "What the hell do we do?!"

"Oh no oh no," Amanda began pacing around in circles behind the desk. "They don't train you for this!" She exclaimed, holding her head in her hands. "I think we better go tell them that she's here before she walks in on them."

"Are you kidding me?" Stephanie gasped, placing a hand on her hip. "Fine. You go. I do not want to be the one who interrupts Maxwell Lord IV when he's in the middle of you-know-what."

"He'll be grateful!" Amanda pointed out, urging Stephanie enter Maxwell's office. "Look, what sort of guy wants his mother to walk in on him going down on a random girl?"

Stephanie rolled her eyes. "Mr Lord doesn't go down on any of us."

"He goes down on me." Amanda smiled proudly.

"You're lying." Stephanie tutted.

"Am not!" Amanda argued.

Neither of the girls noticed Mrs Maxine Lord walking straight past them and into her son’s office. She froze at the door and a wicked smirk planted across her lips when she saw a disheveled Brittany wipe her face with a silk handkerchief, provided courtesy from her boss. Maxwell’s brown eyes widened as he saw his mother standing there with her hand on hip. Brittany was practically shaking in fear as she discarded the handkerchief and tightened the ponytail in her hair.

“Mrs Lord!” Brittany exclaimed with a teary eyed but polite smile. “How unexpected it is to see you. Can I get you anything?”

“You can leave.” Maxine said bitterly. Brittany nodded and ran out the office. Maxwell zipped his pants up and slouched into his chair as his mother took a seat opposite him. “Do you want a lawsuit?” she asked her son with a frown.

“What are you talking about?” Maxwell sighed, taking a comb and fixing his dark blonde hair.

“You keep fucking your assistants. One of them will rat you out and try suing. I just know it.” Maxine shook her head, placing her Chanel purse on her lap. “And Maxwell, I don’t want the future heir of Black Gold Cooperative to be the child of some no good under qualified assistant. Heaven forbid.”

“Mother, why did you come here unannounced?” Maxwell sighed, wanting to change the subject immediately. Maxine composed herself before forcing a grin.

“I spoke to president Reagan,” she beamed. “He said we can host this year’s Christmas gala at the White House.”

“Okay?” Maxwell rolled his eyes and took out a stack of papers from underneath his desk and began flicking through the pages. He figured if he looked busy, then maybe his mother would leave him alone.

“Maureen will be there.” she cooed, snatching away the papers that were in her son’s hand.

“And?” Maxwell sighed again, frustration building up inside of him as he looked at his fingers, thinking her abrupt action had given him a paper cut.

“Oh come on Maxwell!” his mother exclaimed, annoyance prevalent in her voice. “Think about it. Your future child’s grandfather could be president Ronald Reagan! And Maureen is quite the natural beauty. I mean - before she had all that work done. It would truly be great for the business. Can you imagine the publicity?”

“Do you hear yourself?” Maxwell shouted and stood to his feet. “I am not interested in Maureen, nor will I be attending this ridiculous Christmas gala. Jesus Christ - I don’t even support Reagan.”

“Yes you will attend the gala Maxwell, because I say so.” Maxine raised her voice just as loudly as her son, asserting her authority. “I think you’re forgetting your roots. Your father founded the annual Black Gold Cooperative Christmas gala. Now imagine how he’d feel if he knew you had no interest in showing up.” Maxwell’s heart stung and he dropped his head in shame. She was right. He would be disappointed. “I will page you the details,” Maxine promised. “In the meanwhile - I want you to sort this dirty business you have going on with your assistants. You want a whore? You could at least pay them for being your whore.” she spat in disgrace.

Maxwell knew his mother didn’t mean her words and the last thing she would want is her son frolicking around with someone who he paid for sex and sex only. She wanted him to find a suitor who was just as wealthy and well respected as him.

However it did strike him with an idea. What if he were to hire someone who could be there for him whenever he needed that release? His assistant’s were on thin ice and he understood that there was always the potential of an impending lawsuit. That would be more than damaging to his reputation.

He needed someone new. Someone who would be more than happy with satisfying his sexual desires. Someone he could easily come to a mutual agreement with him. He’d have his lawyer draft a contract. But it wouldn’t be easy. If it got out to the public - that Maxwell Lord was looking for a partner just to simply gratify his sexual needs - the tabloids would eat him up. Luckily, Maxwell Lord was cunning, scheming, and he had the perfect idea.

0012 - Oracle (Barbara Gordon)

Age: 38

Occupation: Librarian, detective, former adventurer, congresswoman.

Marital status: Single

Known relatives: James Gordon (father), Eileen Gordon (mother), Sarah Essen Gordon (stepmother, deceased), James Gordon Jr. (brother).

Group affiliation: Birds of Prey, Gotham Knights, formerly Suicide Squad, Justice League of America.

Base of operations: Gotham Clock Tower, Gotham City, New Jersey

Height: 5’7”

Weight: 126 lbs.

History:

38 years ago: Barbara Gordon is born to James Gordon and his first wife, Eileen.

22 years ago: Barbara befriends Katarina Armstrong in high school, their friendship ending about a year later when Armstrong trips her on the running track during a race.

20 years ago: The first reports of a “Bat-Man” in Gotham City start coming in, and Barbara becomes obsessed.

18 years ago: Barbara eavesdrops on a conversation between her father and Batman, and her obsession only grows. She soon enrolls in self-defense classes, getting a black belt in a short amount of time.

17 years ago:

Barbara applies for the Gotham City Police Academy, but is rejected by her father. To spite him, she fashions a feminine version of Batman’s costume to wear to a masquerade ball held by the GCPD. The newly christened “Batgirl” stumbles upon a scheme by Killer Moth, and played a crucial part in defeating the costumed criminal.

Batgirl soon befriends Batman and Robin, having a close working relationship with the latter.

16 years ago:

Batgirl and Supergirl meet, working together to defeat Mr. Mxyzptlk.

Gordon gets a job at the Gotham City Public Library after graduating from Gotham University with a degree in Library Science.

15 years ago: Barbara meets private investigator Jason Bard, and the two begin dating.

13 years ago: Barbara runs for Congress and is elected, leaving Gotham City and Bard behind for Washington D.C, continuing her adventures as Batgirl during her downtime.

11 years ago: Barbara loses her bid for re-election, returning to Gotham and briefly rekindling her relationship with Bard. She participates in the fight against the Anti-Monitor with the rest of Earth’s heroes.

10 years ago:

Barbara is shot in the spine by the Joker and paralyzed from the waist down, as part of the lunatic’s campaign to prove that just a single bad day can drive anyone mad.

Though confined to a wheelchair, Barbara is still determined to fight crime in her own way. She develops an advanced computer system and aids Amanda Waller’s Task Force X under the pseudonym of “Oracle.”

8 years ago:

Oracle founds the Birds of Prey, an all-female team of superheroes including Black Canary and Huntress operating out of Gotham Clock Tower.

Oracle is asked by Batman to join the Justice League of America.

Gordon comes into contact online with Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle, and the two hit it off, forming a long-distance relationship.

7 years ago: During the aftermath of the cataclysmic earthquake that hit Gotham City, Barbara recruits Cassandra Cain as a field agent, noticing her talents in martial arts, and starts training her to be the new Batgirl.

6 years ago:

Feeling used by Batman after his manipulation of her during a major gang war in Gotham, Oracle relocates her operations to Metropolis.

Gordon starts treatments with Dr. Pieter Cross to begin curing her paralysis, regaining a small amount of movement in her toes. She also starts using a special harness to walk for short periods of time.

5 years ago:

Oracle joins forces with the rest of Earth’s heroes to bring down Maxwell Lord and the Brother Eye satellite after Lord murders Kord.

Gordon and Armstrong, under the alias of Spy Smasher, come into conflict when Armstrong attempts to take over the Birds of Prey.

4 years ago

Cassandra Cain steps down from the role of Batgirl, passing it to Stephanie Brown, who begins training under Barbara.

2 years ago: A psychopathic James Gordon Jr. returns to Gotham, kidnapping Barbara. She stabs him through the eye, holding him off long enough for Nightwing and her father to come to her aid.

1 year ago: Jason Bard returns, revealing himself to be in league with Hush. Oracle, Batgirl, and the Red Hood team up to defeat him.

Present day: Oracle and the Birds of Prey fight against the Joker after he kidnaps Barbara’s mother, saying he’ll release her if Barbara marries him.

Commentary:

My Nightwing post wasn’t as controversial as I thought it would be, so here goes nothing...

This is Barbara Gordon. Former Batgirl, current Oracle and Oracle for the foreseeable future. Yes, the Killing Joke still happens in this timeline, no, she doesn’t return to active duty, and yes, she’s roughly fifteen years older than in mainstream continuity. Deal with it.

This Babs takes a lot of inspiration from her pre-Crisis portrayal, which has been all but forgotten about these days. There, she was a fully grown librarian and a Congresswoman for a time (a plot that didn’t really amount to anything there, but certainly would send waves here - remember when Gabrielle Giffords was shot? That’s the impact The Killing Joke would have here, with Babs having only recently lost her bid for re-election). This also means she’s older than in canon, making a relationship with Dick Grayson impractical during her early years but in turn giving her a closer bond with Black Canary, her lesbian lover- I mean... well, just look at how Gail Simone writes them!

Aaaaanywayyyy.... Barbara, like Nightwing, is another one of those Bat-family characters who has branched out to the universe as a whole, truly becoming her own character apart from Batman’s aegis. She’s built her own network of operatives with the Birds of Prey, and serves as the chief information broker for the superhero community at large, being badass even though she can’t be in the field that often.

I also didn’t keep her entirely crippled - with some difficulty and the aid of a special harness, this Babs can traverse short distances on her own two feet, although she doesn’t usually leave the clock tower with it on - it’s a good compromise between leaving her permanently in the chair and having her disability handwaved away by super-science like in the New 52.

And don’t fret, New 52 Batgirl fans - I haven’t forgotten about Burnside or the stylish as hell Batgirl costume Babs wore there. I have plans for all that, just you wait.

Speaking of costumes... she wears comfortable civilian clothes as Oracle, appearing as that weird green translucent head when speaking digitally to those who don’t know her identity. That’s all I’ve got for her.

Next up: Hakwman and Hawkwoman!
