“Gotham,” Xander mused as he stroked up Isis’ back and getting purred at for, “is much more my home then Sunnydale had ever been.” Looking down, he smiled at the vibrant green eyes that blinked up at him in contententment. “What does that say about me?”
“That despite your parentage, you’re to light for Sunnydale and all of the writhing evil that hides just beneath the surface,” Selena stated as she came around the couch, gazing at the man she had given up as a young woman all of those years ago. “I see you picked up my talent for breaking and entering.”
“My boyfriend says that I’m a natural at it actually,” Xander said, continuing to stroke over Isis’ fur.
“Dating a criminal?” came the question as she set her purse down on a side table and kicked off her shoes.
Xander shook his head in answer. “No, a security expert actually. Dick works as a civilian contractor for security companies now days. He’s paid to break into buildings, houses and the such, find the weak points and report them so the companies can cover them. He also reports on weaknesses in systems,” he told her with a smile. “He’s quite good at it.”
“Dick…Dick Grayson right?” Selena asked, both of them dancing around what she had really asked. There was every chance that someone was listening in on their conversation and they did not want anyone to know just who Nightwing was.
“Impressive,” Selena chuckled, eyeing her cat and pouting at her. “What? Not going to greet me?” she asked. Isis just purred at her in response, making Xander chuckle as he scratched behind her ears. “Traitor.”

“She just likes me for my nails,” Xander said, feeling clawless kneading happening on his thighs. “Those claws had better stay sheathed, otherwise I’m taking you to the vet to remove them. This skirt is brand new, cat.”
Selena looked over Xander’s choice of outfit and had to admit that he looked good in dark purple. He was wearing a long skirt that was full and reminded her much of a Gypsy’s dancing skirt along with a simple, loose shirt. Both were a rich, dark purple, much like her outfit that she wore as Catwoman.
“You look very good. Better than the pictures that I had seen of you when you first got here,” Selena mused, taking in the healthy, happy glow of her child.
“Surprising what a few months and a proper relationship can do for a guy,” Xander hummed, shrugging one shoulder with a rueful smile. “Not only am I away from those that dragged me down and made it seem as if I wasn’t anything but a normal human, but I am doing great with school.” He paused before smiling once more. “But the thing about regular humans are that they are far from normal.”
“What do you mean by that?” Selena asked, curious about what Xander was talking about.
Xander placed Isis aside with one last stroke to her head before walking over to the window, staring down at the street. “Every day, normal people do not so normal things. A fireman runs into a fire just to save a dog because a child cries for it. A police officer tries to talk a suspect down so he doesn’t want to hurt another human being even though they are putting their own lives in dangers way.” He turned to look at his mother with a sweet smile. “Everywhere, doctors and nurses are saving lives while a mother gently cleans the cut her child gained learning how to walk or run or ride a bike.”
“I see,” Selena breathed, her eyes widening as she stood up.
“Selena, everyday so called normal people do amazing things and do it without expecting so much as a thank you in return,” Xander hummed. “They give up days off, holidays and miss important days. Yet Buffy and Willow expect to be considered special and amazing, and if you don’t, you’re nothing to them. It took me three years and speaking with Dick to realize this and to grow past the childish behavior of my childhood and my teenage years.”
Selena walked up to him and cupped his cheeks between her hands. “My sweet light, you are all grown up and I missed it all.”
“Not all grown up. I still have much to learn in life and so much growing left to do,” Xander promised with a gentle look on his face. “You gave me a chance to live a normal life, a chance to find my place without the taint of your life, then and now. And I can only thank you for that, both you and Jack.”
“Yes, you’re right. I have much to give you and much to teach you yet,” Selena sniffed, Xander wiping off a tear.
“Yes, moving to Gotham was the best thing I could have ever done for myself,” Xander chuckled, both of them looking out of the window as the Bat family sailed by, making them both smile. “So very freeing to be here.”
