A/N: This is the third fic in my hooker!jason au Birthday precedes this one. It's also a fill for my 100_tales table prompt 'thought'. I mostly wrote this because I love Alfred and almost never get to write for him. I'm hoping to use him a lot more cause he's snarky and lovable. Mentions of Dick who I'm also hoping to use later

Alfred would have liked to say that upon Bruce's return he was surprised to find Jason with him, only Bruce seemed to have a thing for taking boys in from off the streets. And Alfred can remember another young boy, Dick was his name, who was all bright smiles and all but radiated sunshine. Dick could brighten up any room whether he meant it or not and so strong was his power that Alfred found himself smiling at his memory.

Though Jason seemed to be the complete opposite of Dick, he was far more sullen. Dark circles hung around dull eyes that darted suspiciously around the manor. He shook ever so slightly and seemed to think everything around him was going to attack at any given moment. Although had he been anyone else Alfred might have missed this completely, but over the years he had grown accustomed to silently watching.

Alfred wouldn't pretend to have any idea what this boy had gone through or what he'd done, but none of that really mattered because he was here now and part of there deranged little family. At least now the boy had a fighting chance.

Alfred clears his throat to gain both Bruce and Jason's attention, the latter nearly jumping out of his skin, Bruce it seemed, had known Alfred was there the whole time. Alfred offers to make Jason a snack which, if you were fluent in Alfred, meant 'Welcome to the family'.

Jason nods jerkily as a response and mutters something that only Bruce can hear. Alfred's not sure what it is but it makes Bruce smile for the first time in what feels like forever.

Alfred thinks that he might really grow to like Jason.
