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.
