Bruce please for Hera sake you can't go out on patrol tonight you're still injured from your fight with Bane. I'm fine princess Bruce said inbetween putting on his armor that drove fear into the harts of criminals and updating the batcomputer logs on Bane. She wasn't wrong though earlier today the justice league was on a mission to stop the injustice gang from attacking a pharmaceutical company working on developing a cure for a new type of virus that they planned to sell off to the highest bidder with the help of their newest member Bane. The fight lasted longer than expected but before being taken down by him, Bane managed to get a few lucky punches to Bruce's ribs but needless to say he wasn't going to tell her. Just stay in tonight and let your body heal, let nightwing, Batgirl, and Robin handle Gotham tonight you need rest, your only human Bruce. Princess I'm fine really I had worse injuries then a few Bruised ribs. It was more like four bruised and one cracked rib but telling her in full extent of his injuries would only make things worse. Besides Nightwing has his own city to look after, Batgirl has college finals to study for, and Robin will be right by my side the whole time you don't need to worry about me princess. Please Bruce at least let me go with you. No this is my city and I need to be the one defending it. Diana was about to protest when she heard Alfred and Tim coming down the stairs to the batcave, Tim already in his Robin outfit. Are you ready to go now Bruce? Tim said as he ready his R cycle. Bruce only replied with a nod and headed for the Batmobile before closing the cockpit he turn and said don't worry about me princess I'll be fine and back In a few hours all the big criminals are locked up in Arkham she stood their as he closed the cockpit like doors and zoomed out of the cave.
"She let out a long breath of air and turn to see Alfred standing near her she gave him a week smile. Some thing on your mind Miss Diana. Why does he do it Alfred, pardon miss, Alfred said with a raised eyebrow. Why does he go out their every night and push his body to the point of exhaustion every night, and not let people who care about him help is it that hard for him to admit he needs help. Ah a question I ask myself every now and then Alfred said as he walked over to a room and went inside he came back out with a big cardboard box that had the words 'to Batman' on the side of it, he looked at her and said every now and then when master Bruce helps someone they write him a letter there must be about four more boxes filled with them. Master Bruce just said to throw them away but when he pushes himself to hard I like to read a couple of them to remind me why he goes out their every night and pushes himself so hard, why this city needs him to be more then just a man. Maybe they can help ease your mind too. Batman gets letters mail to the Batcave? She said with a little amusement. Heavens no they mailed them to GCPD. Master Bruce didn't want to bring them home but when Nightwing learned about them he brought all of them back here to the manor.
"As she opened the box she noticed that their has to be well over three hundred letters with the words 'to the Batman' written on them. So these are all from people that Bruce helped she said well turning to Alfred. Indeed miss some are from people he saved and some are even from some of the criminals if you can believe that. She reached in and picked up the first one she found and opened it.
Dear Batman
My name is Julia Smith, I don't think you will remember me you probably save a lot of people, but a couple weeks ago,I was walking in a bad part of Gotham it was late I just got done working a double shift, I was trying to save up money so my daughter Emma and I could move to a better part of the city. When some men cornered me in an alley I thought for sure I was about to get raped when all of a sudden one of the men went flying back into a wall at first I didn't believe my eyes, I mean I heard stories about you but I didn't think you were real. You knocked out all four men in less than a minute all I could do is just stand there and stare, when it was over you told me to call the cops and then you were gone just as fast as you arrived. I'm writing you this letter today to thank you for saving me that night. I don't want to imagine what would happen if you didn't show up that night. I finally saved up enough money to move me and my daughter to a better part of town. I don't know if I would of walked away alive that night if you didn't show up. I don't know what would have happened to my daughter if I didn't. So thank you I don't believe what they say about you, you're not just some kind of monster and you're not just some weirdo running around in a bat costume you're a hero.
Thanks again
Julia and Emma Smith
"When she got done she just stood there mouth open looking at the letter she just got done reading. Alfred finally broke the silence, I'm afraid there are many more stories just like that some ending in him getting there in time but unfortunately there are some about him not getting there in time. After reading it a second time she looked up at Alfred, he really does care about this city and it's people doesn't he. Indeed miss now if you don't need anything else there are some things I need to attend to up in the kitchen. No thanks Alfred I have monitor Duty in an hour and I should get going but do you mind if I take a couple letters with me, not at all miss, Alfred said with a smile take as many as you like I'm afraid master Bruce doesn't care for them. Thank you Alfred Diana said as she picked up the box of letters. She gave Alfred a small kiss on the cheek before heading over to the teleportation pad she waved goodbye and put her hands up to her ear to activate her comlink and said one for transport J'onn, a moment later she was on the Watchtower she still had an hour till her shift started and she wanted to read more letters. She went to the cafeteria to get an iced mocha then she headed for an empty conference room to read more letters
