I don't own Batman TAS characters.
Alfred wondered if Bruce Wayne continued to rest after he ran errands for him. He drove by a few of Gotham City's shops. Alfred glanced at the empty streets. There weren't any villains. Alfred began to smile. He also wondered if Bruce was going to rest for the remainder of the afternoon and all evening. Perhaps Batman was able to take the night off.
Alfred watched as a man walked and swayed from side to side. *Hm?* he thought before he blinked a few times.
The man's shoulder length hair framed his long face. His half-shades concealed one dark eye. A cape covered his shoulders with his back. Knee-length boots concealed his feet. A long coat almost concealed his frilly shirt. A sash held the man's trousers up. The man collapsed by a shop.
''Sir?'' Alfred asked after his eyes widened. He stopped the vehicle and got out of it. Alfred ran to the man. He crouched by him. A finger contacted the man's arm repeatedly. ''Sir? SIR!''
The man stirred and opened his eyes for a moment before he closed them. ''I'm exhausted,'' he muttered as he frowned.
''Where do you live?'' Alfred wished to know.
''I,I,I'm homeless,'' the man said.
Alfred stared with pity in his eyes. ''Who are you?'' His eyes became wide after the man never replied. *Is he...?* Alfred viewed the latter's shoulders moving up and down. The lips were slightly parted. *I'll take care of you for a few days* he thought.
If the man turned out to be a new villain? A villain from Batman's past? Alfred was willing to protect Bruce.
The man was lifted and carried to the vehicle before he was placed in it.
After driving home, Alfred took his guest to a large bedroom. He placed him on a bed and removed the latter's boots. Alfred began to place the boots by the bed. The man's bare feet didn't seem to bother him. Alfred walked out of the chamber and to another bedroom. A new smile materialized the minute he viewed Bruce resting under a blanket. *I should check on the guest.* He returned to the large bedroom. His eyes became bigger another time.
