Schmoozing the gala.

Bruce's generous donation to the women's shelter made him even more desirable to all of the single women in the ballroom, including both Silver and Selina. What was there not to be attracted to? He was rich, famous, handsome, intelligent, and athletic. But very few women knew of the real Bruce, the one who considered his real face to be masked.

One of those women was Silver, she loved Bruce with all of her soul but she could not accept his proposal after she had deduced he was the Batman because she could not stand worrying about him each night. But that night she was reminded why she loved him -- he sacrificed his life to fight the injustices suffered by the poor and the weak. He could have easily ignored everyone below his caste and made his playboy facade a reality but he didn't.

Selina grew up on the streets of Gotham as a street urchin so she knew when she was being bullshitted. She sensed that Bruce was deeply genuine in his desire to help abused women and their children -- he wasn't doing it for positive press coverage or stoking his ego. He really wanted to help and she could sense the anger he was holding in because he knew money could not solve domestic ****.

Both women hung on to Bruce's arms for the rest of the night, fending off other women who may try to seek his attention.

"How about we leave the hanger-ons and have a private party?" Silver suggested, giving a dirty look at Selina.

"I'm not a hanger-on!" Selina scoffed. "I'm Bruce's date!"

"Ladies, we'll leave after I make one last round of thanking my generous donors," Bruce intervened before things got heated between the two women. He escorted his two dates around the ballroom to shake the hands of the mayor and other of the city's elites.

"My limo is waiting outside," Bruce noted as they headed towards one of the grand mahogany double doors.

"I booked the presidential suite for the night, Bruce," Silver added.

Normally she was confident but all night Selina felt inadequate in the presence of Silver. The platinum blonde socialite had a long personal past with Bruce, not only as lovers but Selina sensed there was something more. She wanted to hate Silver for being born with a silver spoon in her mouth but she gave no air of snobbery. She knew couldn't compete with Silver's wealth or connections for Bruce's affections but she believed she one one thing that gave her an advantage -- an athletically toned body that was amazing at sex, something that Batman would attest too.
