Bruce gave a heartwarming speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all for coming to the annual Wayne Fountain Gala," Bruce started. "I want to thank you even more for paying $1500 a plate of take-out."

Bruce felt more relaxed when the crowd laughed at his lame joke.

"Seriously though, this year's fundraiser is very important to me. Not everyone in Gotham have it as well off as those of us here in this ballroom. There are many -- too many actually -- **** people in our great city. The most **** are abused women and their children. Your money tonight will help us build a new shelter that will protect them from the men that were suppose to love, support, and protect them." Bruce had to restrain himself from reverting back to the deeper, growly voice he used with his Batman persona, because he hated cowardly bullies who preyed on those weaker than them.

He paused to look at Silver and Selina. Both women's eyes were wet with tears.

"That said, I'm not much into speeches but a man of action. And I will demonstrate that by matching the money raised by tonight's dinner and the donations you will make, ensuring the shelter will be funded for years to come."

The audience cheered.

For once he was happy in his Bruce Wayne the billionaire philanthropist persona.

Silver stood up and kissed him deeply. "I will match Mr. Wayne's generous offer as well," she added to more gasps and applause.

Selina was not too happy with the beautiful heiress, who suddenly took Bruce's attention, and apparently affection as well, from her. For a moment she felt inadequate with the monetary donations offered by the two billionaires but she reminded herself that she actually helped the abused women on the street level without the glory of the media.
