Curiosity killed the cat and it drew in a bat.

Maria had been curious about her brother, half-brother, since Bruce had mentioned that she had one. Maria had tried to resist the lure of curiosity, but it had eventually grabbed her enough that she wanted to meet him. She talked to Bruce and he had been nice enough to call Max to set up a meeting and make travel arrangements.

The flight was a commercial flight, first class though, to Star City. Maria had checked into her hotel and then taken a cab to the cafe where the meeting was supposed to take place.

If she had to admit it, she was nervous. She didn't know how Max was going to take meeting new family from another dimension. Though maybe she could take the agreement to meet as a positive sign. It wasn't like she wanted to invade and take over or destroy his relationship with Helena. Maria was still unsure about meeting Helena, but she was curious about Max. At least she would get the chance to meet him. Then she would see where things went from there.

Maria tapped the table with an index finger out of nervousness and waited.

“Wouldn’t be right to let someone walk in there alone if they don’t have to,” Max said.

"Awww look at you. Being all big brother on me." She paused. "If you are a big brother. Not sure which one of us is older."

Max shrugged. “Don’t know pretty easy to figure out though. Even still it is one of those place that it’s better to work with someone if possible than by yourself.”

"I'm nineteen. Born on April 15th," she said with a grin.

"Maybe for my next visit," she said. "I didn't exactly bring any of my working clothes with me."

“I’m nineteen too. Born June 17th,” Max says not needing to state the obvious about who’s older.

“These always the shooting gallery too but I understand.”

"Oh. So I get to go all big sister on you," Maria said with an impish grin.

"I'm fine. I'm enjoying talking to you."

“Go overboard with that and I might have to show you what it’s like to have an annoying younger brother,” Max said with a little smirk.

“Talking is fine by me.”

Maria laughed. "Okay, okay. I'll go easy on you."

"I admit that I was really nervous, but this is nice. I'm glad we did this."

Maria smiled. "How'd your mom take the news? I'm curious because at some point I guess I should at least talk to her. Dick too."

“Not sure I didn’t hear about that from Mom when she told me though she seemed to pretty ok with it when she did tell me. I don’t think she really could take it too badly family is very important to her even if it is a bit of a strange situation.”

Maria nodded. "That's good to hear. Now I won't worry nearly as much when Ig et up the courage to meet her."

"Oh of course. I wouldn't just show up and say 'hi. I'm your extra-dimensional daughter, can I come in?'. Though I wonder if they make Hallmark cards saying that," she mused.

“I think you could special order that,” Max says with a smirk. “You wouldn’t believe what you can special order from them in cards now a days. I heard that there’s even sorry I slept with an assassin and almost got you killed because of it cards.”

“No just one of those crazy thing you can come across on the internet,” Max says which was sort of true, “To be honest haven’t really done much dating.”

"Why not?" Maria asked. "Guy looking like you should have girls all over him."

Max shrugged. “Just one of those things I guess.” It also didn’t help that he was obvious as his dad in that area.

"I understand," she said. "I haven't done much dating either. When I did date, they had to meet Uncle Bruce and I think the famous scowl drove them all away."

“That would do it wouldn’t it,” Max said, “But I have heard that underneath it all he’s actually a pretty nice guy.”

“Always thought as much,” Max said, “Though I’ve only seen him a few times. Mom and Dad aren’t exactly close to him.”

"It's the same with almost everyone. There's more than what you see on the surface."

She shrugged. "Bruce isn't exactly the most warm and open guy, but he does care about people. He cared enough about me to give me a home and the Bruce here cared enough to give me a place to live and see that I settled in okay."

“Very true nothing is ever truly what you think it is.”

“That does sound every nice of him.” His dad would have guessed it has something to do with his own childhood.
