Drystan arrived home at 4 in the evening.
Standing outside the door he took a deep breath and collected his thoughts before opening the door.
Upon entering his house he his met by an very excited Harley asking "Did you get it? Did you get it?"
Hearing the excited Harley, Cat and Ivy walked to the front door and looked at Drystan with expectant expressions.
Drystan just sighed and and told them simply "I didn't get it."
The girls immediately became sad and disappointed, Drystan seeing that added to he statement saying "Someone else is trying to buy the building and has already came to an agreement with the bank. But I'll try to see if I can convince him to let us have it."
Drystan walked past them and went into the kitchen and started making some coffee.
"Who's trying to buy the Siren? Let us know and we will get him to back off." Cat said with a sly grin.
"Yeah... not happening. I don't need you girls assaulting or seducing this man, just give me a couple days and I'll get it from him. I promise."
"Now, I will go make a phone call and see if I can sort this out."
Drystan moved into his bedroom and closed the door before making a phone call.
He did it like this because he knew at least one of the girls would eavesdrop on him to find out who he is talking to.
But instead of calling and trying to make an appointment with Bruce he tried a more round about way.
"Hello? Drystan?"
"Hey Babs, I need a favor."
"Sure, what is it?"
"I need to talk to Bruce Wayne."
"I don't know Mr. Wayne, sorry."
"Babs, I know you do, just let him know to give me a call. If I have to go to him it will be troublesome."
"*sigh* I'll see what i can do but when we meet next time your going to tell me what all you know."
"Deal. Thanks Babs I owe you one"
"No problem, but no promises that he'll call you he's a busy man."
"He'll call me."
Drystan then hung up the call and went to take a shower.
Two birds with one stone, now they know that he connected Bruce to Barbara but don't know for sure what he knows.
He will enjoy watching Barbara squirm thinking he knows Bruce's identity before 'revealing' that he connected them from a few photographs of them on the internet talking.
They both attended a few of the same parties in the past and have talked with each other at basically all those parties.
This let Drystan know that Barbara was related to hero work even before she became the Oracle as Barbara isn't qualified to attend those high end parties without someone like Bruce Wayne letting her in.
After digging a little, it didn't take long to discover that Barbara was the original Batgirl.
Batgirls whole skill level regressed about a year ago when Barbara got shot so it was clear that when she got injured she was replaced by Stephanie Brown.
Injured then replaced. It was no wonder that Barbara felt so desperately that she had to be needed when he first approached her.
She was abandoned.
Leaving his bedroom fresh out of the shower he is met with an empty house.
Drystan let out a grin knowing that Bruce wasn't going to have a good time when he is confronted by the three angry women.
He is trying to steal their home after all so they aren't going to make it easy on him.
But just to keep up appearances he called Harley to see what they were up to.
He loved calling Harley. She would always answer the phone and tell him exactly what she was doing even during the most chaotic situations.
One time he called Harley while she was doing some 'Naughty' things with Ivy and Harley basically described every little action in detail before Ivy made her hang up.
Not until she teased him first of course. The entire next day consisted of him being teased by the girls until he finally left the house.
Harley answered the phone with a cheery "Hi Grey!"
He could picture her innocent grin.
"Where did you go Harley? I thought we were going to play some games tonight?"
"We were going to play games? Awww, now we missed game night. It all your fault Selina."
Over the phone he heard a muffled voice call out "Harley, remember not to call me that while it costume."
"I forgot."
"Then don't forget."
"Grey, Selina's being mean."
"Harley, put Cat on the phone and I'll make her be nice."
Drystan was used to Harley at this point.
She was a child.
Except for the fact that she was crazy and sexy she was mentally a child.
After a bit of rustling Cat held the phone "What is it Grey?"
"Don't be mean to Harley. Also don't hurt Bruce, just let me talk to him and I can peacefully persuade him to..."
Drystan looked at his phone "She hung up on me?!"
He didn't expect her to listen to him nor did he want her too, but her hanging up on him meant war when she came back.
"Cat, perhaps this will let you know that you actions have consequences" Drystan said while putting catnip on several of her things with an evil grin.
After that he went to to some training while waiting for the inevitable inhouse prank war to start.
