Den Father
Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice or the awesome Alfred because if I did then I would be a black hole devouring his cookies right now as I type. I do however really want to try one of his cookies though. I also don't own Drake & Josh or Twilight.
Hey Yumisaurous here with a little story that Titus and I thought it would be fun to write about the Team's den mother position filled by the one and only bat-butler Alfred! So in this series Alfred is more of a father figure to Bruce, and a Grandpa to Robin. Bruce said the team needs to learn discipline and he told Robin to act professional around the team with Alfred.
So, here we go!
The Team was spread out throughout the cave.
M'gann was in the kitchen finishing up the dishes from a late dinner that was postponed because of a team bonding activity. Oddly enough, Robin was the only one who did not attend, but Roy did join in the team bonding.
Kid Flash and Connor are watching actual TV instead of static, some show about celebrities underwater. (The Celebrities Underwater was a thing from the old show Drake & Josh)
Instead of Wally fighting with Artemis, Roy was doing that job. They were arguing about what type of bow was better, compound or traditional?
Kaldur was in an armchair in the far back corner of the room, reading about the surface world's fantasy books. M'gann, Zatanna, Raquel, and Artemis insisted on him reading the Twilight series.
Zatanna and Raquel were also arguing about the Twilight novels.
"TEAM EDWARD!" Zatanna shouted and pointed to her shirt that was adorned with glitters, Edward and Bella in a heart at the center.
"TEAM JACOB!" Raquel screamed back. "Edward is a flaming gay fairy!"
RECOGNIZED : AGENT A 00, ROBIN B-01
Both of the girls continued back and forth for a while, they were screaming so loud they didn't hear the automated voice recognize anyone.
"TEAM GUY WHO ALMOST HIT BELLA WITH HIS CAR!" Robin yelled as loud as a 13 year old could.
All the males in the room couldn't help but laugh at Robin's comment, even Kaldur couldn't hold back a few snickers that escaped him.
Zatanna looked Robin up and down, now interested in the 13 year old in a suit.
Robin had been at another Wayne charity event party, dressed up as his usual personal as Richard Jonathan Grayson-Wayne. (His middle name is John but Titus wanted it to be Jonathan because it's his middle name. And his name will always be compounded as Grayson-Wayne in all my stories.)
Robin was wearing a dark, dark grey vest, with a dark grey dress shirt. The sleeves were folded up to his elbows; he was wearing a Rolex watch on his wrist. He had on a Ralph Lauren costume tailored black dress pants, and Mark Anthony dress shoes. His shirt was slightly pulled out from where it was tucked under a leather belt with a plain golden buckle. His wardrobe was tied together by a blood red tie, elegantly tucked into his vest; he also had the same red colored suspenders clipped to his pants, but are hanging around his lithe waist instead of on his shoulders. Robin's jacket was slung over his shoulder, his hair was perfectly messed up from the gel that had previously slicked his hair back. Over his eyes, he wore his famous black mirrored sunglasses. Over all you can just say he looked sexy.
"Oh hey Rob, why are you all dressed up?" Wally said zooming over to his best friend, messing up his hair even more.
"Another "undercover mission" with Batman is why I'm all dressed up. I'm here because Bats was called to an off world mission and there's no den mother this week so Agent A will be subbing until Batman comes home." The Boy Wonder said while he loosened his tie that was constricting his breathing.
"Who is this Agent A?" M'gann asked floating in from the kitchen.
By now the entire team has gathered to the sexy looking Boy Wonder, no one noticed the old man in the suit hanging back in the shadows.
"That would be me." Alfred said spooking the team except Robin, his British accent strong and his face deprived of all emotions. A real bat right there, his voice was emotionless even with the accent. His posture perfectly strait, he was able to pick out the slightest muscle movement of the team and read their faces.
"Robin, do not slouch." Alfred said fixing said boy's posture.
"Yes, sir" Robin said voice void of all emotions, but Alfred knows him too well, the butler heard the obvious amusement in his young charge's voice.
"Robin go change into more comfortable attire, I know that you're very uncomfortable in those clothes. Be sure to hang the clothes up."
"Sir yes sir!" Robin shouted as he gave a salute to the retired special agent. A ghost of a smile only Bruce and Richard would catch.
"Now then, my name is confidential, but you may call me Agent A. I may be old, but I have raised both Batman and Robin, so do not underestimate me." The man with the British accent warned and he heard his young master running down the hall.
"Don't run inside, there are expensive things at home and in here young sir."
"Sorry Grandpa. Could you make some cookies, I'm a bit hungry." Robin said his stomach already grumbling.
"Of course, please show me the kitchen."
"Oh, it's right this way" M'gann said flying towards her favorite room in the cave.
When they arrived to the kitchen, Agent A immediately pulls out the ingredients he needs to make is amazing cookies.
Within 30 minutes the cookies are in the oven cooking. Robin and Wally were licking the spoons as all the other members were watching the cookies bake, the sweet aroma drifts back and forth, licking at their senses.
To kill the time the team asked Agent A questions.
"So are you Batman's dad? Robin's Grandpa?" Raquel asked, unsure if she said that right.
"I am not Batman's father but his legal guardian, same with Robin but he is as an adopted grandson."
"Robin, dude you live with Batman!?" Rocket turned to the small ninja on the table with chocolate stains on his face.
"Yup! I've lived with Batman a little bit longer that I've been Robin. It's really not that bad as you think. I mean you guys don't know Batman like me or A but it's a pretty sweet life."
"How can you deal with Batman's closed off personality?" M'gann asked, it truly is a wonder how someone like Robin lives with someone like Batman.
"He's not closed off, well I can read him like a book and we learn to communicate without talking on the field so we do talk just not by using words. The only time we talk out in the field is when we're exchanging info on bad guys to the police or shouting a warning. Maybe we'll have a conversation on the field to distract the people we're fighting against."
"But what's it like at home?" Superboy asked, he never once knew what's it's like to live with someone you consider a father.
"Bat tries to be at home, but he also has a big day job. I have school and we have those stupid parties we attend for Bruce Wayne as secret body guards."
"Bruce Wayne? The billionaire right? Why do you have to watch him?" Artemis said as she thought about the Wayne scholarship to Gotham Academy.
Agent A raised an eyebrow, "Unsurprising you all don't know, but Bruce Wayne is the biggest funders of the Justice League. He doesn't want the public to know that fact and we send in Batman and Robin to occasionally watch him during these events. An assassination of Mr. Wayne would me we lose a bit more than half our funding."
"Wow, I really didn't see that coming." Artemis breathed
"We keep special eyes on his adopted son Richard as well. Because of Richard, Wayne has stepped up the funding to make sure his son is safe." Agent A said, covered eyes drifted towards Richard.
Artemis thought back to the first day of school, that creepy kid ran up to her and snapped a picture of her. Did the Justice League just put me on a mission to make sure this kid is safe?
"Oh I see them all the time on TV! The Richard boy is kinda cute." Zatanna said, earing yups and yeses from the other female members of the team.
Robin was blushing madly now, still to the other members of the Team, minus Wally and Roy, they are clueless as to who is behind the Robin personal.
The timer on the kitchen oven went off and the team gathered around the island table as Alfred pulled the cookies out of the oven. The smell of the cookies made everyone's mouth water, the sweet smell of melting chocolate lulled over their scenes.
"Would anyone like some milk to go with these cookies?" Alfred asked as he walked over to the fridge and pulled out the milk jug, a chorus of yeses followed.
"Robin would you please grab some cups from the pantry?" Robin nodded and reached for the glasses, he was still too short and had to stand of his tippy toes.
"Don't worry Rob, you'll hit puberty soon." Wally said trying and failing to hold in his laughter, the others smiling and snickering. Kaldur, Connor were the only ones to not laugh.
As the Boy Wonder reached for the very last glass his hand slipped and the glass was about to fall on his face, but Alfred saw that coming and caught the glass one inch away from smashing against his grandson's face.
"You should be more careful Master Robin. Lucky for you I saw the glass falling or it would have broken against your face and cut it."
"Hehe, sorry grandpa." Robin said looking sheepish, wishing he could just disappear.
"Now then, dig into my cookies. I hope you all will enjoy them." Alfred said letting Dick get away with one slip up. The team each grabbed a cookie and slowly took a bite from them.
Their eyes widened, and pupils dilated. They just took a little bite of heaven it seems like.
"Oh my god these are the best cookies I have ever tasted!" Rocket yelled inhaling her cookie and reaching for more.
Wally didn't even comment on anything as he grabbed the entire tray of cookies and tried to speed off. Alfred saw that and swiped KF's legs off the ground and saved the tray off cookies before they hit the ground.
The team burst out laughing.
"Are you some sort of Grandpa Bat Ninja?" Wally said trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered dignity.
"Perhaps I am, perhaps I am not. But I did tell you that I raised both Batman and Robin by myself."
"Respected." Rocket said, "Remind me to not make him angry."
"You should see his glare. If you thought that Batman's glare was bad you should see Agent A's, his is like 10 times worse." Robin said remembering the first time he saw Alfred's glare, he peed his pants because it got so intense.
"Okay I do not want to see that." Zatanna said, picking up another cookie and munching on it.
"Do you eat these every day?" Connor asked
"Pretty much."
"Lucky." Wally murmured.
Should I make this a series or a one shot? I'll let you all decide. Read my other story The Lives We Changed! If you want to PM or comment ideas for this story so I can write more chapters for you guys but my priority is my first story this will be more of a writer's block thing for me.
