The cloning work was going smoothly. Bruce and Pamela were working on it. Their schedule was fully packed up as they divided their time between working on the project as well as taking care of the office work, so both didn't have time to slack off and enjoy their life much. They worked day and night without sleeping. With Bruce's evolution and Pamela's physiology, they didn't need much rest.
Nyssa dropped by occasionally to give them the news of their mission. The League managed to cure almost every known metahuman in Gotham and Metropolis and recruited twenty of them. They also cured the criminal metahumans, who were hiding in the underground bases or the slums around the Metropolis.
According to Nyssa, they will be able to infiltrate the new A.R.G.U.S. facility to cure the metahumans captured by the government or, if useful, recruit them. Bruce warned them about Cisco and ordered them not to engage in a fight with him. He gave them information on Cisco's abilities to the League to help them have an advantage in case of an emergency.
On the other side, Floyd and Mr. & Mrs. Freeze already have Bludhavem under control. They captured many wanted criminals and handed them over to the cops. They built a new Wayne Tower there and are using it as their base.
Days passed...
Skylar chose her new body model and she was very picky about it and wanted Bruce to make her new body just like her spirit form, except for the chest size, and certain parts, where she added a few extra inches in all areas.
The prototype body will be ready in a week or two. Pamela has prepped the machine and all they have to do is wait till the artificial clone body forms in that giant glass tube filled with green liquid.
"Phew! Finally, the easy part is over," Bruce sighed as he stretched his arms and yawned. He got tired of all the reading, checking, rechecking, and going back to the lab to scan and see if things were working correctly. His whole week was spent only on that and now that things were good to go, all they had to do was wait, and if it went well, Skylar would have a new body within two or three months.
Bruce walked into Pamela's lab and saw the girl biting the end of the pen while her eyes were focused on a journal. She was so lost in reading that she didn't notice Bruce enter. He silently stood behind the lady and kissed her earlobes while pulling her into a soft hug.
"My! I can get used to this~," The lady in the red and white striped dress shuddered for a second before she felt the hands massaging her shoulders. Bruce kept nibbling her ears and planted wet kisses on her neck.
"How's it going?" He whispered in the ear.
"Well, the trial phase was successful and now I think we are ready to release the new batch of medicines. Oliver is taking this collab very seriously," She replied lowering her head as Bruce massaged her shoulders.
"Of course, if this gets on the market, then their company's name would be known worldwide and there's a possibility for growth," Bruce replied as he glanced at her notebook, "Besides, a cure to cancer, more than 90% effective without any side effects, it's a very revolutionary concept," He grinned.
"But no one will ever know that it has a 100% effective rate and cures multiple other diseases through disposable nanites," She giggled softly before resting her head on Bruce's chest and enjoying his hug, "And..." She touched his cheeks and pulled him downward, kissing him passionately, "I'm glad that you prioritized people rather than running after profits."
"You sound as if I'm some profit-obsessed guy," Bruce squinted his eyes.
"Aren't you?" She bit his lower lips lightly.
"Hey, that's not true. It's all about what we want. The company would lose money with no profits in the upcoming months. All our patents are used for free, and a lot of the infrastructure we have built was funded by me alone," Bruce grumbled.
"This cure will save countless people and I'm pretty sure you drained some illegal accounts with Jarvis's help to cover up the cost," Pamela sniggered.
"Isn't it better to use those black money for some good?" Bruce kissed her lips again.
"Thankfully, someone cares more for the good of people," Pamela replied and they enjoyed a romantic moment.
They had been working without much break. And moments like this had been rare recently. Bruce did notice the need to cherish the person with him more. For a change, he decided to go on a dinner date with Pamela and get rid of all their stress and pressure, if possible.
"Enough about work. How about we sneak away for a dinner date or something? Have been having a tough week and I would like a nice dinner with a lady," Bruce suggested with a big grin plastered on his face.
"Oooh! You have time for that!" She looked into Bruce's eyes with a happy smile, "Don't you have to monitor the cloning machine?"
"I'm pretty confident in Friday and Wednesday to take care of it, besides, Skylar herself has requested us to relax once in a while and we might as well take advantage of her little speech," Bruce winked and kept showering the woman with gentle kisses.
"Mmmmmmmm! Fine! Fine! Let me freshen up and get dressed. But I don't want to go to one of those fancy places you took me to. I just want a simple dinner date with my Batman in some place cozy and relaxed," Pamela squeezed out of his embrace and fixed her dress.
"As you wish, Mademoiselle. A dinner for two under the starry sky," Bruce exaggerated, much to the amusement of the woman, "Be ready to head out in fifteen minutes. I have a place in mind already. You are going to love it," He sent a cheeky smirk towards Pamela.
"Looking forward to it," She replied in her silvery voice, winking. She went to the room in that base where they'd been living for the last few weeks to change up.

Bruce quickly arranged for a rooftop dinner date at one of the restaurants he owns. Well, he used to own this one, but he gave it to Maggie as a gift. He asked the chef to be ready to cook anything his girl would want. He also informed them to check the wine cellar and restock immediately if needed. After setting up everything, he took a quick shower and dressed up.
He waited for Pamela near his car.
A few minutes later, the lady, dressed in a green high-slit long-sleeved dress and golden flats, walked toward him with her hair tied into a beautiful bun. The shiny diamond necklace, earrings, and bracelets complimented the color of her dress. Her natural beauty didn't require any makeup and she walked gracefully toward Bruce with the aroma of rose and sandalwood wafting in the air.
The guy had a bright smile as his lady approached him.
"Are you perhaps trying to give me a heart attack with that charming dress, madame?" Bruce offered his arm to Pamela, who gladly accepted the gesture.
"Don't you like it?" She smiled as he helped her settle down on the car's passenger seat.
"It is a blessing and a curse. With each day you are making it harder for me not to crave for you and that body of yours," Bruce replied, sitting behind the wheels.
"I'm very fine with your cravings," She rested a hand on his lap, squeezing his muscular thigh, "Now where are we going, Sir?"
"Heh, We are going to 'The Starry Sky' restaurant," He replied with a charming smile.
.
.
After a smooth fifteen-minute drive, the duo reached their destination and were greeted by the staff of the restaurant. The whole rooftop had been reserved exclusively for them with the view of Gotham's waters to the front and a busy street below. The surroundings of the building were dim and the colorful street lights could be seen from far away.
They settled at a table and a server guided them through their exquisite menu, starting with appetizers, drinks, and mains.
Pamela wasn't a hard person to satisfy when it came to food and she ordered crisp chicken stripes and chicken popcorn as the starters, along with a cocktail made from orange juice, rum, and maraschino.
Bruce ordered some fries and chicken nuggets, along with a glass of red wine.
'Hahaha... Damn! I got used to those fancy foods that I don't even remember the last time I had some classic nuggets and fries,' He laughed lightly inside.
When their starters arrived, the mood was light-hearted and fun, with Bruce and Pamela talking, eating, drinking, and overall enjoying the peaceful ambiance under the night sky, gazing at the lights below.
Both talked, laughed, planned different things for their future, and relished their night together. Bruce found it refreshing, compared to when they were stuck in the lab for weeks. A quiet, peaceful night under the stars while having a dinner date is what couples often desire and rarely get to experience.
