His father seems to be live there had been no personal mention of seeing or speaking to him till *Well To Do*. Patrick Wayne arrived for a visit. Thomas hates his father and have not spoken in years. He came to visit for a few days with a lady friend. Coming under the pretense of a simply matter he needed their help with. Matters were worse then Patrick would say, though he swears on Thomas' mother's grave it's nothing too evil. Only for the family business.

Patricia saved the both of them too, talking too much at her birthday party. Her word got them back together.  Thomas proved to Martha that Jacques was all wrong. When Patricia is proposed to by such a man, they hatch a scheme together to break the two up. Taking Patricia for drinks at Alfred's club, acting like he was only trying to talk her out of the engagement, Patricia helps her brother understand his feeling too. Explaining to 'little Tommy' that he really blew it with Martha. Tommy is still carrying a touch for her.
They were late getting back to Martha's apartment. Having a key, it raised an eyebrow for Patricia but she saw the man Jacques tied up and nude. That solved everything. for Thomas at least.

During his time back in Gotham City after being shot, he seemed to have gotten engaged to Betsy Van Wick. The engagement apparently didn't last long. Patricia calls her "that absurd Betsy person", as she announces for Thomas that the couple seems to have broken off on their engagement at a party, with Betsy being Thomas' ex-fiance.

### Meeting Lucius Fox

Not met in person, first interaction was only by secret messages. The two were working together through the CIA when Thomas got his new promotion and returned to London. When a message arrived to get Lucius out, Thomas personally by any means necessary got Alfred Pennyworth for the job.
Once meeting in person, Lucius appeared to get an understanding of Thomas through how Martha spoke to him. Thomas’ motives and behavior was hard to comprehend at first. Thomas was able to show the scientist Lucius Fox that he was thinking about things for more careful perspective and deniability is the key to how they should proceed.

### CIA England Station Chief

*The Heavy Crown* a group of both men and women with the CIA watched a film reel of the events in London. Learning he was leaving with a promotion to go back there. He also was told to let the conflict end quickly. As hard an order as that was for him to take.

Even harder news to give Martha Kane.

Working in London, his CIA superior Dallas came to meet with him in *The Burning Bridge* On her way to Mosco. They have a problem with a Hydrogen bomb. The top ani-nuclear bomb campaign in England is Prime Minister Archbishop Potter, English League. Wayne answers to take away his moral authority, or so he supposed. Dallas reminds him, Politic is dirty. Wayne has to enjoy playing in the dirt. He answers he follows house directives, weather he enjoys the task. Being glad to hear him. Dallas told him, she had not gotten to the part that he really won’t enjoy. Instructing him to meet with a man he never thought he would ever have to see again. Following orders, Thomas Wayne shows up at Alfred's club. Having some interaction with Alfred Pennyworth who didn't know he was back in London. Soon the man he was there to meet came in and he introduces Aleister Crowley to Alfred for the first time. Mr. Crowley is to remove some unspecified public figure from his position.
Not able to do more but watch Crowley's reaction as to who, Crowley asked for one thing in return. He thought it was more talk about his soul. Crowley oddly answers that he already sold his soul. This requires a kiss from Thomas Wayne to seal the deal.

Thomas met with Alfred in *The Bleeding Heart*, Alfred came to him to arrange tickets to America. Asks the CIA agent what it would cost but the price is steep. Alfred didn't have enough, Thomas offers to loan Alfred the money, but he refuses, stating he doesn't want to be indebted to him.

Thomas eventually finds the urgent note, in Lucius' message that he needed to be saved and extracted. It was too dangerous now in the Raven Union headquarters.

Thomas works all his options in *The Rose and Thorn* to find a way to get his CIA scientist spy out. Alfred told him, he would never work for him. Thomas worked the angle of English League and it's new prime minister Aziz. Telling Aziz that Alfred Pennyworth is the right man for the job. Aziz does agree in return for a favor from him. Aziz wants Wayne to deliver a message to Aleister Crowley.

Being successful, and Lucius Fox is safely back to the CIA headquarters. *The Bloody Mary* Thomas Wayne learns all the details about Project Stormcloud, which happens to be the Raven Union's chemical weapon. Fox took part in the weapon's testing. Dallas explained they are taking action and having all US personnel evacuate the country. Be on the next flight out the next morning.  Explaining it is an internal dispute of a sovereign nation and does not have anything to do with the USA and their government. Forbidding them from telling Prime Minister Aziz and the league about Stormcloud feeling the league and the people of London would soon know. The US government does not officially know. The US government will need deniability. Fox called her on it, she does know, Dallas states "I will deny that."  Wayne states now should be the time to intervene forcefully and forbid the use of Stormcloud under international wars. Dallas explains if Stormcloud is used, it would end the war quickly. The president thinks if the war ends quickly it's good. Reminding them, they would both be on that flight. Wayne could not stop Fox from talking, the communication was then cut off as Fox is determined to prevent it from ever being used. Wayne kept the scientist from saying something he might regret to the CIA and Dallas.

Thomas Wayne and Lucius Fox that night went to Alfred Pennyworth's club to drink all night. Lucius told him that he liked him more now, seeing another side. Thomas told Lucius he still not decide. Lucius Fox invites Alfred to sit. Talking about, that they all would be on the plane tomorrow in soft tone, it was being hushed.

Thomas Wayne and Lucius Fox are both set to depart, Thomas was set to get both Martha and his sister Patricia on that last plane that he expected Alfred and his group would be on. Alfred and Thomas stood there together, having a movie moment. Both didn't think they were the type to stay and fight.

### Fight for London

Thomas Wayne and Lucius Fox stay in London to help the English League.

By *The Hangman's Noose* the Queen with those of the English League were glad to toast, no more Lord Harwood and London might still win out. Thomas voices that he is not sure Salt will be better.

Making out, as Martha attempts to unlock her door. They had to talk. Trying to start, she asks to talk about the birds and the bees. Thomas tells her, he has a condom in his wallet. Martha asks him why didn't use it last time. At last tells him she is now pregnant. He was first freeked, then upset that she didn't get on the plane. A war zone is not safe. Thomas decides they will marry, so his baby will not be born a bastard. Not asking Martha even and it puts them on shaky ground again.

Lucius, Thomas and Martha went to Alfred's house to talk to him. Having to face how Alfred's mother feels about Alfred going into danger. They hatch a plan. Having only a day till it will be used on London. Thomas explains as still CIA station Chief, Thomas informs the Union that he has brought back his missing scientist, Lucius Fox. Really use it to break into the Raven Union headquarters and steal the “Project Stormcloud” before that it can be used.

This plan is a suicide mission, and the entire crew treats it as such. That night Thomas and Martha finally admit their real feeling and agree to get married.

The next day, Thomas, Lucius, Alfred, and Dave Boy drive to the Raven Union headquarters. The quartet can walk through the gates considering that Thomas is an agent of the CIA, an organization that is technically on the side of the Union. Allowed to pass and, although they are meant to be taken directly to John Salt, they dispose of their security escorts once they are inside and leave. Not wasting any time, they are eventually able to also sneak into the “Storm Cloud Project” lab.

Lucius knew the way, they secure the “Stormcloud” weapon, and then move to get out. However, Salt realizes that something is wrong, and the four men are surrounded before they can escape. Alfred could not bluff is way out.

Dave Boy, Thomas, and Lucius are locked up in cells, but Alfred is forced to call London. Aziz and Martha are there, Salt reminded them of the time left to surrender.

Later, Alfred locks himself in with the rest of his friends, and at that point, they feel as if they have failed, and that no one will come and save them. Unexpectedly, the Sykes sisters with Frances Gaunt and Vikki Dufrench came into the room.

Now that they are free and armed, the crew attempts to complete the mission but are once again captured. The four men are taken to Salt’s chambers, where each has a chance to join the Union. They all decline the offer. Arthur asks Salt to give him a moment of privacy with his son, to try one last time to have him join them. Salt accepts and goes to his rooms to wait. It seems that he is trying to recruit him for the Union, he lowers his voice and asks his son if there is a possibility that his mother will forgive him. Arthur just wants to see his wife again, and Alfred really believes that his parents can reunite, this pushes Arthur to switch sides. He tells Alfred that he has a gun hidden inside his pocket. Alfred takes it and uses it to shoot the soldiers who are holding him and his friends prisoner.

Alfred, Thomas, Lucius, Dave Boy, and Arthur drive away from the Raven Union headquarters with the “Project Stormcloud” weapon finally secured.
*The Lion and Lamb* Thinking they saved the city and prevented the Raven Union's plan. Till Gulliver Troy storms in. Dropping the blue thing that was the weapon. As the gas came out, all of the English League learn it was a trick.

Alfred and Dave Boy have to stop the Raven's real plan. Finding the Stormcloud in the crypt. Are too late as it seems to start to activate. Fox and Troy come just in time to help them.

6 months later.
The Raven Union's about to take London, Martha goes into labor.

### A Doctor

It is 5 years later by the start of *Well To Do* and Thomas has given up his CIA spy life to be a doctor. Happily wedded to Martha, he thought they both had moved on from most dangerous stuff as they rase their daughter Samantha Wayne. She is looked after by Mrs. Pennyworth whom, is their nanny. Working in a ward with children, Dr Wayne let the girl listen to her chest.

### Wayne Enterprises

Having his father in the house was odd, but getting to the real purpose of his visit was hard. Coming to London also on Wayne Enterprises matters. Then because he needs Martha to find a missing scientist.

By *Many Clouds* Thomas and Martha had a straight forward honest conversation, while Samantha left the room. Martha has to go, and Thomas had Sam, because it is Mrs. P's day off. Thomas wants Martha to be upfront about her work. Martha thought he knew. She explains, it is mostly a desk job, yes she does carry a gun. Nothing is dangerous. Thomas feels she has been lying to him and to Sam. Martha thinks it is complicated.

Thomas and Sam went to the Pennyworth family's house. Sam looked for Mrs. P, only Alfred thought she left for work, and was going to their house. That was a lie. Sam went to get a toy as the men needed to talk. Asking about a job on behalf of Wayne Enterprises, and then also about what his wife does for work. If she is safe working. Alfred thinks Thomas should talk to his wife. Samantha came downstairs with a teddy bear named Toby. Toby was Alfred's stuffed bear and he grabs it back from Samantha. She was a bear thief. She and daddy left for the zoo.

Thomas has another sit down with his dad. Playing along as if he knew everything in Martha's life. Also explains he would not bring her job for MI5 into this. So Thomas didn't ask for Patrick, about the missing Wayne Enterprises scientist. Letting his family think this is about Patrick wanting to get to know his granddaughter. Not wanting to disillusion Martha. Thomas was not working to; for the family, or national security. Repeats back a speech about gentlemen and honor. His father went off, about honor with out responsibility and about a family matter. He did find who can help find the missing scientist and could not give this person they should hire any details, since he didn't know any yet. Listening as his dad gives him some details, about the mind control drug, it's military applications and the business opportunity as he runs the family business.

Because of that Samantha went out with Mrs P in *Comply Or Die*, he had to confront Martha. About the bump on her head and what really her job is about, and leading a secret double life. Martha answers, stating that his father is neck deep in trouble. She was shocked Patrick already told him. Martha's thinking was, he wanted his help. Thomas answers, no he wanted her help. Thomas added he told his dad no. They were married and should trust each other.

Martha and Thomas share info. She knows Wayne Enterprises and the CIA are in London testing a drug. Last adds, she will be briefing Aziz on all of this, when he is back from Paris. Thomas fills in, the missing Dr Glubb needs to be found. His father only wants to find him, he thinks his father's done nothing criminally wrong.

Patrick came a little later to say, he is going to call the one Thomas recommended. Thomas explains to his dad, even Alfred can't fix this now. Martha knew and will tell the Prime Minister when he is back from Paris. They could get ahead of this, and go to the English government. Behaving suspicious, Thomas asks, what else his dad was not telling him. Patrick swears on his late wife's grave, it's nothing.

Later when Thomas came home, calling if anyone was home, he pours a drink from the bar. Virginia Devereaux was who answers and joins him for a drink. Really slips something into Thomas' cup. Virginia plays coy, like she knows nothing. Commenting that he is a bad liar, and asking more questions. Thomas then told her, he needed to get started on diner. After the drink he fell to the floor. Her agents in their dark suits came in. Patrick came down the stairs saying no more and that he can't let them do this. She sent him back upstairs to his room. They went to work on Thomas.

That night, Samantha was all tucked in by Mrs. P as Thomas came home. Having brought dinner so that they could have dinner for 2 from Mirabelle's. Mrs. P seems to leave for the evening. They sat down to a nice meal and wine, the phone rang. Sandra's song Candlesticks and Caravans plays, as a trigger. Getting back to the table, the psycho-kinetice drug started playing out. Thomas thought he was trapped. Attacks Martha, thinking he was fighting for his life. Getting a knife, Martha was trying to fight back. Stabs her. Thankfully it was Mrs. P who returns and knocks him out with the candle stick holder in the dining room. Running to the phone calls for an ambulance and the police.

Coming to, Thomas was in a cell in the Tower of London. Having blood on him, no one will tell him if his wife is alright. His father did feel back. He could only try to help. Patrick hired Alfred and his associates to break him out of the tower.

With the help of Lucius Fox, Alfred and his team of Dave Boy and Mr Chadley had a van and went to the tower. Dave Boy dressed as a Beefeater, they used Lock-picking Device Fox gave them. Open the bars and the 3 of them had to run, Lucius Fox and Mr Chadley waited in the van, and the guard had open fire.

Learning, Alfred was hired by his father, to get him out of the country. Thomas had to see his daughter Samantha one time. Knowing she was safe with Alfred's mom. They went there. Then everyone convinces Alfred not to take the money and do the job. They go to the Wayne's home. Confront Patrick and Virginia. Having also called the police. Virginia claims it is too late. They safe Martha's life and Aziz is in her hospital room waiting for the agents to arrive.

Home with his wife and daughter, in *Rhyme 'N' Reason* next his sister Patricia Wayne came for a visit. Being in London mostly for her interest in Francis Foulkes. She wanted to see them and her niece. Thomas could not stay quiet when she brought up their dad. Patricia had no clue what Patrick Wayne was mix up in. So he told her about the drugging him and almost killing Martha and being sent to the Tower. Patricia wants to help him. They talk and the next day Thomas left for the airport. Getting on a privet jet, left for Gotham City. At the start of *Hedgehunter* lands there.

Knowing already that his dad was not at Wayne Enterprises, Thomas went to Wayne Manor to see his dad. Angry and hurt. He made his dad tell a story of at least 1 father / son moment. Patrick was able to do. As both men told the other sorry. That they did love each other. They hugged, but Thomas was sorry, love was not enough.

Sometime later, after leaving a bar in the city Patrick was gunned downed in an alley by his son Thomas. Thomas was in a disguise.

In *Don't Push It*, Mrs. P arrives. Being glad that she could come by. as Martha had to go into work. Reminds she can always come, epically with Thomas gone. Then asks how is the poor Thomas. Martha answers he has his hands full. Thomas is still in Gotham, planning the funeral and tying up his father's affairs. Dealing with the police. Mrs. P asks, when Martha talks to Thomas, tell him, she is thinking about him. Ahead of leaving the 2 women have a real sit down about how husbands don't share what they are thinking. Martha asks, but then you never know what is going on?...What are they thinking...might do? Mrs. P asks what Thomas might have done, Martha brushes it off.

Once Martha was at the Prime minister's office, Aziz offers asks to please give Thomas his condolences. It was awful what happen to his father.

At night, Martha left a message for Thomas again. As it seems that he is just sitting in Wayne Mannor with a drink. Martha knows how upset he was with he left. Samantha asked about her dad and states she misses him, Martha answers she does too, they hug.

In *Red Marauder* Patricia came to London after their father's funeral. Thomas chose to stay behind. Martha asks is Thomas is back too. Thomas wanted to come. He had to stay, being up to his neck with Lawer and Accountants and Wayne board. He try to explain it, but Patricia stopped listening after the part that her trust fund stays the same. Patricia thought that Thomas was more up tight then usual. That is saying something. His sister and his wife talk about how he not talk to them. Martha leaves messages. Patricia states, he is working 18 hours a day.
