Chris was the first one to arrive at the Gotham Exhibit. He showed up in a blue button down shirt and some blue jeans. He waited outside for Wicz and Carrie to show.

Before heading out Carrie took a shower and changed into a yellow dress and some flats. She headed for the exhibit and when she arrived she looked around for her new friends. She suddenly spotted Chris and made her way over to him. "Hey," she said tapping him on the shoulder.

Not long after his sister dropped him off, Wicz began to search for Chris and Carrie. Following an almost typical school day due to forging new friendships, they agreed to meet by the entrance so they could all go in together. Once he tentatively told his family that he’ll be going to Gotham Exhibit with the new people he met tonight, they were actually okay with it much to his surprise. He thinks they’re likely delighted that he has friends to go out with. Not that he’s bothered by it. He does have actual friends in school and even imaginary friends like Dodo. Yet it’s harder to maintain a real-life friendship.
Blinking out of his thoughts, Wicz notice oodles of people entering inside Exhibit but he hasn’t seen the others yet. The more he scours, the higher his anxiety builds up and he wasn’t sure he had to enter the facility without them. Eventually, his worries began to fade when he saw Chris and Carrie. With a sigh of relief, Wicz jogged over to them. "Hi Carrie. Hi Chris," he greeted his new friends.

Chris turned around when Carrie tapped him on the shoulder. "Wow. You look absolutely stunning." Chris said as he looked at Carrie. She really did look beautiful. Around that time Wicz walked up. "Hey bro. Looking sharp. Y'all ready to head in?" Chris said as he went and grabbed the door and opened it.

Wicz averted his eyes while shrugging at Chris’s compliment, like it's no big deal but it is. He’s only sporting a black leather jacket that covers his dark red hooded sweater, along with some black jeans and combat boots for occasion. "Aye." Wicz smiled before motioning Carrie to go inside. "You go first, Carrie."

Carrie blushed a little at Chris's comment. "Thank you," she said with a shy smile. She was about to ask him if he had seen Wicz yet when he walked up to them. "Hey," she said. She noticed his reaction to Chris's compliment and figured that he didn't hear that a lot of that from the kids at school so she made sure to give him one of her own. "I like your jacket. It looks good on you," she said. She smiled at Chris again as he opened the door and thanked Wicz before heading inside.

Wicz blushed deeper at Carrie’s compliment. ‘Stop it… No seriously stop it.’ He thought mildly to himself with a tinge of deflection. Compliments are great and all, however if it’s too much, he likely react negatively. Adjusting his glasses, the teen puts his thumbs in his jeans pockets and went inside after Carrie, but not before thanking Chris for leaving the door open.

Talia glided into the room, wearing her finest black dress that hugged her body perfectly. Her dark hair was done up in a way that drew the eye to what the dress was doing and not what she, herself may have been doing. Ignoring the appreciative looks of the men and the cold stares of the women, her gaze swept the room until she spotted who she sought. A smile played on her lips and her heart sped up just a little as she watched Bruce speaking with a young man. It was so good to see him again. How she had missed him... Shaking herself, she approached, gracefully plucking a glass of wine from a passing tray. She stopped when she was just a couple of feet away and said, "Don't you have better things to do than stand around staring at old relics, Bruce?"
Bruce heard that voice and for a moment, he froze in his tracks. The last he heard from Talia, she was buried under rubble. While he was happy to see that she was alive and well, he instantly figured that if she was alive, it was likely that her father was too.
"There are old relics that still maintain value, Talia. You know that better than most." Bruce said, having a harder time than normal to suppress his emotions.
"I'll go check on the guys in the back. They should be ready for the official unveiling soon." Dr. Oliver said, sensing that these two needed some time alone. "Mam." Nodding, Dr. Oliver vanished into the crowd.
Talia nodded to the young man, gaze never leaving Bruce. She moved closer to him and murmured, "It's good to see you again, my love."
"It's good to see you, Talia." Bruce gently grazed Talia's arm, briefly letting himself get lost in her soft skin that was all too familiar to him. "But we both know that it's not as simple as seeing me." He murmured.
Talia moved in a little closer, letting him catch the scent of his favorite perfume as she whispered in his ear, "It doesn't have to get complicated, Bruce. It can stay very, very simple."

Chris walked in after both of them and followed them inside to go and view the new exhibit that was on display from Reefside.

After stepping in to the museum, Wicz observes the atmosphere around him. So many people looking at the displays, some exploring around, and others socializing one another. Speaking of displays, he notice a lot of good relics there.
"Well, this exhibit seems good so far. Don't ya think?" Wicz asked the others.

"If simple involves me taking on a job I've already said no too, then that's not simple." In a similar tier to Kryptonite, Talia served as a sort of weakness to Bruce as the Dark Knight has trouble remaining fully focused with the heir to the demon around.
Talia sighed, free hand reaching up to gently press against Bruce's cheek. "Please, Bruce, don't be stubborn. By accepting my father's offer, you will save many lives."
"I can save many more lives if I stop your father." Bruce placed his free hand on the small of her back, pulling her in close. "Including yours."
"You don't understand," Talia whispered with a note of urgency. "If you do not accept father's wish, he will start a war with the sole purpose of getting you on the throne. Many will die, Bruce. Do you want that?"
"I've defeated your father before, I'll do it again. He will not harm this city." Bruce's tone grew firm as his city was his other love. It was something that he will fight tooth and nail to protect. "So if he comes, I will stop him."
Talia sighed closed her eyes before making one last attempt to make Bruce see reason. "I don't understand why you are so resistant, Bruce. Do you not see the possibilities? With you on the throne in place of my father, you will have command of a whole army of highly trained men and women. Think of what you could do with that! With you on the throne, you would have hundreds of dedicated warriors to further your mission. And..." She leaned in and gave him a gentle, lingering kiss. "And you would have me."
"I... I can't." After a kiss from Talia, Bruce thought twice before his next sentence before continuing. "I won't join the League. I'll say it one last time. If your father resurfaces and tries to attack Gotham, I will stop him."
Hurt flashed through Talia's eyes, followed by resignation and worry. "I had hoped your answer would be different, but in my heart I knew you would refuse. Please be careful, Bruce. I don't know exactly what my father will do but...keep a close watch on your sons, Alfred, and other close allies. He used Richard to get to you before and may do so again. Use the utmost caution."
"I'll be fine." Bruce felt an additional presence, leading only to a scowl that only Bruce Wayne could master. "So are these your escorts?" He asked, referencing the hidden league members, waiting to attack.
Talia's gaze didn't leave his as she replied, "Father insisted. There will be no fatalities, at least not intentional. Though I cannot guarantee there will be no injuries."
"Must you always listen to your father?" Bruce spoke, keeping himself aware of his surroundings, knowing that he would likely have to act soon.
"You have your loyalties, my love and I have mine," Talia replied, though there was a hint of conflict and regret in her eyes.
"As do I, my love. As do I."

As Chris was looking around he noticed how some of the patrons were very highly dressed and suit and tie and all that.
"Well, this exhibit seems good so far. Don't ya think?" Wicz asked the others.
"It's amazing for sure but I tell ya, Wicz. I definitely feel under dressed." Chris said.

"Don't worry, Chris. I saw people with casual attire walking by so you're not the only one here." Wicz assures his companion. "Plus we're only here to see the displays from Reefside."

"We may not be as dressed up but I think we look pretty good," Carrie said.
