Four months have passed, and Bruce's training had continued. He had achieved a level of physical and combat proficiency that was impressive, to say the least. His strength, speed, and endurance had all increased significantly. However, there was more to learn.

While he had made remarkable progress in his training, Selina had also excelled in various aspects of her life, thanks to the opportunities provided by Thomas Wayne.

Selina's academic performance had soared to new heights. Her dedication to her studies was unwavering, and she consistently earned top grades in her classes at the prestigious academy. With Bruce's assistance and Martha's guidance, she managed to catch up with the rigorous curriculum, demonstrating a keen intellect and a quick ability to learn.

In addition to her academic achievements, she also honed her martial arts skills. At Bruce's request, Thomas arranged for her to receive specialized martial arts training. Under the guidance of an experienced martial arts instructor, she developed proficiency in various forms of self-defense and combat techniques. Her agility and precision in her movements became apparent as she embraced this new skill set.

Amidst the transformations in their lives, one person who had undergone a unique journey was Maggie. The young girl had discovered her passion for cooking. It started with her curiosity in the kitchen, watching the family's skilled chefs at work. She observed how they turned raw ingredients into mouthwatering dishes, and it fascinated her.

With the support of Martha, Maggie began to dabble in the culinary arts. Martha had been an excellent mentor, sharing her knowledge of cooking with the young girl. Her journey into the world of cooking had begun.

...

Thomas's continued success in the political arena led to his 11th consecutive election victory. His unwavering commitment to Gotham City's improvement and his numerous charitable initiatives had earned him the trust and support of the city's residents. Each election year, his popularity seemed to grow, making him an indispensable figure in Gotham's political landscape.

With another term secured, he remained dedicated to his vision for the city. He channeled his resources into various projects, aiming to uplift the less fortunate and revitalize neglected neighborhoods. His charitable efforts were not limited to infrastructure and social programs; he also extended his support to the arts and culture, enriching the city's vibrant tapestry.

Amidst his demanding training schedule, Bruce found solace in moments of artistic expression. He had taken some time between his rigorous workouts to focus on a new project. As Wayne Enterprises was preparing to launch a series of cutting-edge car models at an upcoming event, he took on the task of designing the new vehicles.

His passion for engineering and design had been a constant presence in his life, even before he woke up in this alternate reality. Drawing on his previous experiences and knowledge as Tony Stark, he channeled his creativity into crafting sleek and innovative car models that would be showcased at the event.

The main attraction of the event, however, was the announcement of the first batch of limited-edition Batmobiles.

Bruce plans to launch these Batmobiles in the market beforehand. So, in the future when he becomes Batman, the police will have a hard time tracing him since there will be many cars like Batmobile already on the road.

If the criminals want to target him, they will be confused thinking who to target among these Batmobiles. Besides, considering the cost of the car, only powerful and rich people will buy them. Hence, criminals will have to target those powerful and rich people rather than targeting Batman. And who deals with more criminals other than those rich powerful people of Gotham?

Police! Therefore, indirectly Bruce will help the police reduce crime rates. And if his plan succeeds, the criminals will fight among themselves instead of targeting innocent people. Also, he can use this opportunity to gather intelligence from these powerful people about criminal activities, all thanks to the special chip installed in each Batmobile.

And most importantly, selling these cars will generate money for his future business ventures. In fact, Bruce plans to use the money generated from the sales of these Batmobiles to finance his future technological inventions. If he wants to build his perfect Arc Reactor, then he needs huge funding, which could easily be achieved through these car sales.

Now, he has more freedom in what he does. But he kept himself hidden from the prying eyes of the board members, waiting for the perfect moment to pounce at them. To achieve that, he has already started to lay down a plan. 

The creation of an AI. In his free time, he continued to perfect the code. A mistake like Ultrons can not be repeated again.

[Training room]

Bruce and Elana continued their sparring session, but this time they shifted their focus to grappling techniques. They circled each other, maintaining a low stance, ready to engage.

Elana initiated the move by attempting a takedown. She aimed to grab Bruce's leg, but he swiftly sidestepped, avoiding her grip. He countered by attempting a single-leg takedown of his own. She used her agility to step back and maintain her balance.

Their movements were fluid, a dance of skill and strength. They exchanged holds and attempts at takedowns, each one countering the other's moves with precision. Bruce's agility and Elana's experience created an interesting dynamic in their practice.

Bruce went for a double-leg takedown this time, but Elana sprawled, shifting her weight to prevent him from taking her down to the mat. She then attempted a front headlock, trying to control him, but he quickly slipped out and maneuvered behind her.

She recognized the opportunity for a rear naked choke, but he defended by tucking his chin and fighting her grip. With a powerful bridge and roll, he managed to escape her hold and reversed their positions. Now, he was in control.

He secured a dominant position, transitioning to side control and then attempting a kimura lock. Elana resisted. She managed to roll them over, escaping the submission hold.

The grappling session continued for several minutes, with both participants testing their skills and adaptability. Elana's experience allowed her to anticipate Bruce's moves and counter effectively, while Bruce's agility and quick thinking gave him an edge in some situations.

As the session neared its end, they found themselves in a neutral position, catching their breath. They shared a mutual respect for each other's abilities and improvement. The training had been intense, and they both were enjoying these heated sessions.

"Phew! To think in just a few months you've improved this much. You're really something Bruce," Elana complimented as she prepared herself for the final round.

"You sound impressed," Bruce remarked while regaining his composure.

"I am. You see there are very few people who received a compliment from me in such a short amount of time," She smiled proudly as she stretched her muscles for the final round.

He chuckled, "Then, I guess I deserve a nice reward after winning this last round huh?" He grinned mischievously.

She raised an eyebrow, "Reward huh? What do you have in mind?" She asked curiously.

"Something sweet perhaps," Bruce replied as he lunged forward and initiated the final round.

The final round of their sparring session began, and Bruce couldn't help but be a bit flirtatious. After spending months with her, he knew Elana was a tough and experienced warrior, but there was a playful side to their dynamic.

As they circled each other, Bruce winked and said, "How about a dinner date? You've been pushing me hard in these training sessions; I think you owe me a nice meal."

Elana chuckled as she parried one of his strikes, "Oh, really? And what would we be having for dinner, Mr. Wayne?"

"A nice home-cooked meal and maybe we could watch a nice movie after that..."

She couldn't help but smile at his proposition. Their sparring sessions had created a unique bond between them, and his charm was not lost on her.

"A home-cooked meal and a movie, huh? Well, that does sound tempting," she replied as they continued their heated exchange of strikes and counters. "But, I am not much of a cook."

"It's the company that matters, besides, we can always cook together," Bruce saw an opening and lunged in her range, trying to pin her down on the floor.

She managed to disarm Bruce's attempts at humor by skillfully countering his moves. She then took his momentary distraction as an opportunity to sweep his legs, causing him to lose balance. She quickly mounted him and secured a dominant position. Elana smiled as she replied, "Cooking together does sound like fun, but only if you can handle the heat in the kitchen."

Bruce struggled beneath her firm grip, trying to break free, but to no avail. Her technique was impeccable. She maintained full control, preventing him from reversing their positions.

Seeing no way to escape, Bruce smiled and replied, "I can handle the heat in the kitchen just fine...and elsewhere too." He winked playfully.

She laughed, "Now, that sounds promising. But, let's take things one step at a time, shall we?"

Bruce nodded, tapping out. His entire body was aching from exhaustion, but he enjoyed every minute of their sparring session. "Deal."

She released him from her hold and offered him a hand. They stood up and shook hands, sealing the deal.

[Meanwhile, Black Mask's hideout]

'The Wayne Enterprise is about to hold an event... It's time... Make the final preparations..."
