Now none of us chose to technically natch in any way, we were just looking to accentuate our features. Mainly because we have no point or intentions to remain by each other's side the entire time due to this being a social and on a royal's part political party. Here's hoping it goes well.

Chloe's POV :
Now that we are all dressed and ready, though not without hiccups, we all go down to the main hall of the Wayne mansion. The Wayne's all stare at us and Jason asks, "why aren't any of you matching?"
Juleka asks in a playful though challenging tone with an eyebrow raised, "why would we all match?"
Dick then asks, very confused, "aren't you all going to hang out during the party in pairs at least?"
All of us gave him a resounding, "no."
Nino then continues, "dude's you thought all of us hang out during these parties?" All robins out of their uniforms nodded their heads slowly, which made Nino mumble, "wow you all have high IQ but not so high EQ apparently." Nino talk to said for all of them to hear then, "dude's this is basically a work event as far as any S class member is concerned, we aren't going to spend time together because we all have to different people in different backgrounds."
All the out of uniform Robins looked at us like we grew another head but said nothing as it was time to go, though Dick looked at us with pity. Which not gonna lie, greatly annoyed me. Don't pity us we know our roles, hell, in Juleka and Max's case they chose their roles!
Juleka chose to enter the songwriting community like how her brother did in the show, she is using this event like every other event to promote her music and the band she planning on starting with Luka. Ironically she hasn't met Jagged Stone, just like in the show, but with a little push in the right direction and no bullying on the party of Chloe or rather, me, she is a lot like Jagged Stone but not fully as eccentric and with a bit of Luka mixed into the bunch we call her personality.
As for Max he chose to enter the engineering community kind of like how he did in the show, but he hasn't built his robot friend yet. He uses this to try and pull potential future investors since although he knows we are more than willing to help him, he wants to prove he can do it on his own. He has a great amount of confidence here.
Now although Sabrina is not technically a royal, her dad is an important General in France, which pulled her into the France political system. Which is actually how we met, her dad is important to my dad so it was only natural that we met, as well as technically a way to keep the Raincomplex family in an important position to the Royal family.
Then Nathaniel needs to be seen as he is a mob heir, so it is important he and his power is known, which not that I think about it is extremely close to Damian's heir status. Making them the closest non-royal royals we know.
Anyways we make it to the gala which is held in a grand building outside of Gotham ironically. I figured all his gala's were held in one of the many buildings he owns in Gotham, I wonder if it's because we are here. . . probably not.
The gala itself was a beautiful gala with a white and gold color scheme and a real fairy tail vibe, which is kind of what my life is. Making me giggle at all the irony, I wish my Niece could see all this.
There were fairy lights, chandeliers, golden banners, and glass ornament in the air giving a true fairy tale sky appearance for the roof. There were even rainbow roses going up all the pillars, maybe Poison Ivy helped him with that?
I don't know, but it would be exciting to meet her, especially for Juleka, who views her as an amazing gardener rather than Anti-Hero. Juleka learned during a gardening section we had in our science classes growing up that she has zero potential to keep a plant alive no matter how much help she got. So Juleka loves Ivy since she can make plants flourish, unlike her even when she tries desperately.
If I see Ivy here I'm definitely going to try and get her to meet Juleka, and probably ask Harley Quinn if she can talk to Kagami because Kagami loves her free spirit. Then I probably won't see Selina in her suit, but I definitely will still try and get her to meet Sabrina.
Now, I don't know why, but Selina hasn't been in the manor since us getting here. I just heard one of the boys muttering about Selina doing something with her fellow sirens when they thought I wasn't paying attention. My fault on that part really.
Anyways the party itself is quite boring, walking around talking to anyone who approaches me, avoid the food so no one can take 'embarrassing' pictures of me eating, hold a glass of sparkling cider, dance with Nino for pictures, take a break to talk to a rich man, dance with Felix while more pictures are taken, take a break to talk to someone next to Tim while he looks at me like I'm insane since I understand all the tech speak, dance with Nathaniel for even more pictures, take a break to lean on Sabrina for a second while she is try to not kick off her own shoes because my feet hurt but sitting is not an option right now, then a reporter approaches so I need to stand up straight.
I look up at the reporter to see Clark Kent, oh, so John is here? . . . I don't know how to feel about that. He smiles at me and extends a hand, "Clark Kent from the Daily planet, can I have a moment of your time Princess?"
I smile at him while trying not to sit down, I take his hand and shake it, "you may have a moment of my time, I always have time to meet a new face." Inwardly I wanna sit and remove these shoes, but like always there is no such option during these parties.
We go off to the side for the interview to begin, it was the common questions, you know.
The whole, am I betrothed? No.
How am I enjoying Gotham? I am enjoying Gotham very much.
How has your stay been? Amazing, the Waynes were kind enough to let me stay in their mansion.
You met any unsavory people? Define unsavory.
How is dad? Great and still in France.
Are you in a relationship with anyone? Not to my knowledge.
Who designed your dress? My friends Juleka Couffaine and Nathaniel Kurtzberg, it was made by a friend I have who wish to remain anonymous.
In one word describe S class for you. Amazing.
Any drama with your family? None noteworthy because there is always drama in every family, but nothing noteworthy.
Looking for love? I'm from France, I'm not looking for a long distance relationship.
Clark was about to continue when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist, and pick me up, which makes me yelp. I hear Clark say, "John, put her down!"
I was quickly set down, and I looked at the culprit who picked me up, only to see Fucking John with Conner behind him! Oh I'm going to slap this man, don't pick me up! I shoved John's arms off my waist, and point at his face making all the Kent boys stop as I say, "one, NEVER pick up a woman who you haven't so much as texted since the first grade! Two, keeping your arms around me after being specifically told to put me down after you picked me up without MY permission would normally get you a swift kick in the pants, be happy your dad said your name! Third, you are now a dead man!"
I grabbed Johns ear and dragged him over to Nino and Felix while he holds my hand to lessen my pulling on his ear. I tap Nino on the shoulder and they immediately turn to see the culprit of who tapped on their shoulder. Upon seeing me they were about to ask when I yanked John so he was not standing next me rather than behind me, "teach him basic manners before I kick all of you."
I then let John go and leave him with the shocked duo who just grabbed John before he can run away and began taking to him while they had their arms over his shoulder so escape is futile. I then walked around the party and whispered to the rest of S class about John's appearance in this ball and where I left him, so they can all see him too. Afterwards I walked over to Damian.
I grabbed a glass of non alcoholic champagne and walked over to Damian who was making no effort to interact with others willingly as he sat at a table with Jason who looked beat. Once I was standing next to where he was sitting he looked at me as I swished the liquid around in the champagne flute.
I took a sip then said to him, "you knew John was here."
He said in his usual matter of fact tone, "yes I did."
So did I but I'm not suppose to know that so, I lightly glared at Damian, "so you knew John was so close to us, to the point that you probably could have called him up. But said nothing, why Damian?"
Damian made a face then said, "don't you all have his number, it never changed."
I cut Damian off before he could complete that sentence, "one, he stopped communicating with us a year after he left, which was a couple months, a year maybe after you left, so no. Damian, don't assume I am at fault, John cut contact with us, but I'm guessing regained contact with you." Damian looked like he wanted to say something but I quickly put the champagne flute in front of his mouth, "S class really needs to work on communication, we get that, but don't try to say anything when you don't need to talk to other like the rest of us."
I then walked away Kwami, why is Gotham so complicated? . . . and why is this so peaceful? hm. . . discreetly I pull out the black widow and spiderman rings, waking up the Webby and Spidera, who were both quick to hide under my dress, I get the feeling that I'm going to need the Spider sense soon. . .
