Althea Prince Part One
He was the first thing that she saw as soon as she stepped off the plane.
Damian Wayne.
The name alone sent tingles down her spine. He grew taller, and much bulkier over the summer. Aphrodite had done right by him, and made him into an adonis. He took Althea’s breath away. Sure, he was cute before she left for Themyscira, but now? Now, there was no ignoring how handsome Damian was.
Althea took a deep breath, and walked towards him. Soon, she noticed that his family had shown up as well. Dick, Jason, Tim, and Alfred. Bruce most likely had other concerns, as well as Cassandra, Stephanie, and Barbara. Though it was a wonder on why her mother wasn’t with the Waynes picking her up at the airport. Perhaps she would be at Wayne Manor, where Althea’s welcome home dinner was to be.
Suddenly, Damian’s second older brother started to whistle.
“Hot damn, Thea! Look at you! The hell did they feed you in Themyscira to make you look like a model?”
Thea blushed a bit, only to bite back at Jason, “The hell did Alfred feed you to make you look like shit? Or did you eat your own cooking again?”
Jason was shocked into silence for a few moments. Only to open his mouth back again.
“Baby Wonder’s got sass, guess you got that from your aunts.”
Before Thea could say anything back, Alfred turned to her and began speaking.
“Miss Prince, how wonderful it is to see you again. I hope your time with your family was satisfactory for your training and education. Now, we best be on our way to Wayne Manor for supper.”
“Certainly Alfred, while I love my home, I certainly do miss Gotham.” Thea said as she grabbed her luggage and followed the older man through the airport. The others trailed behind.

“Alfred, have you gotten the chance to read the book that I had recommended?” Thea questioned as she stepped out of the car.
After an hour long car ride through the city, they had managed to make it to Wayne Manor. Wayne Manor was home. Though her mother worked and lived in Gateway City, Diana Prince had wanted the best education for her daughter. With the help of Bruce Wayne, Althea had gotten a scholarship and attended Gotham Academy with Damian, though she was a year above him.
In doing so, Alfred had managed to get his way and have Althea live in Wayne Manor since her freshman year. Before her higher education, she was educated by tutors in Themyscira and by her mother in Gateway City.
“If you are speaking of ‘Madame Bovary’ by Mr. Gustave Flaubert, then yes I have. If you are speaking of ‘The Crucible’ by Mr. Arthur Miller, then no, that is my current read, Miss Prince.” The older man answered as he led the young woman inside the manor. The manor was large, dark, and quiet, not that Althea noticed as she kept speaking to the man beside her.
“Was it as you expected Alfred?”
“Even better Miss Prince. However, tonight is not about me, it is about you, returning home.”
And suddenly, the whole world went loud. Her mother, Bruce, Jon, Dick, Jason, Cassandra, Tim, Barbara, and Damian had shouted ‘Surprise’ That was the moment that Althea truly knew she was home.
