Master Wayne

I know that you'll never receive this letter, but its something I need to make for you.

I'm sorry for leaving you, I never should had. If I had know what was going to happen after I left, I would had change my mind. But I was convinced that leaving would make up for my failure to protect you it blinded me from the real truth: I failed not because I was unsuccessful from providing you with a normal life after the Batman was no longer needed, I failed because for my own selfish reasons, try to force you to stop being who you really are; A man who is willing to sacrifice his chance to live a decent life for the sake of protecting others and preventing them from suffering the same pain you had to live with for all your life.

It took the news of your death to realize how foolish I was. I watched everything that unfolded in Gotham on the news, worrying myself to death on what was your condition and I was helpless from doing a thing. For days it had gotten to the point that I didn't sleep for days, weeks at most knowing that something horrible had happen to you and I was couldn't do anything because I left you alone to fend for yourself. Something that your parents would never had never done.

Finally after months of waiting, I receive the news that it was over, Gotham was finally lifted from that terrorist's rule, thanks to the assistance from Commissar Gordon, his task force, and the Batman.

However, hope I had of returning to a normal life with you was shattered when it was reported that the Batman had to carried a nuclear bomb that was made out of Miranda Tate's project away from the city limits. The bomb detonated across the ocean and the Batman was declared died. At first, I denied it because you always had some back up plan to escape from this.

But in the end, I had to face the truth: You were gone from this world...This time for good.

It was the first time in my life I broke down in tears, knowing that I truly failed you by abandoning you when you needed someone to comfort with which was the job your mother and father gave me and I failed you all and I can never forgive myself. I do not know what my future is in Gotham after your funeral, I'm going to Paris again in a few weeks like I annually do each year, although I'll never see you there with someone you truly loved and finding the happiness you truly deserved.

If there is a bright light to this Wayne Manor is being used to help with the orphanage, giving those young children the hope you never had while the Batman is being praise as Gotham's true hero embedded in a statue in Gotham square forever to be seen by generations to come.

But most of all, I can rest knowing that you're finally reunited with your parents and Rachael, the pain and suffering that has plague you throughout your life is finally over and you found the happiness you've longed for, although I wish with my hardest of hearts it wouldn't have been this way, you deserved so much better. The world will never again see your service to not only Gotham, but to all of humanity that if you become a symbol, it will forever live on to become a legend.

I hope that one day, we can both be reunited and please forgive me Master Wayne. I was a fool and I wish we could had chatted one more time with nnot only the man who grew up to be my friend, but the son I never had and will forever always love.

Goodbye my son.

Alfred

Note: I might add one more chapter to this, but as of this moment, I'm not motivated to write.
