Seven days earlier
Dick: You know that's not what I meant! I didn't mean that, I-
Bruce: it doesn't matter! It's said and done!
Dick: It does matter! Look, I said I'm sorry! Get over it!
Bruce: I can't just let this go Dick.
Alfred: Master Bruce, perhaps we should consider the partner?
Bruce: Not yet Alfred… thank you.
Dick: Partner? No. No way.
Jason: What's wrong with a partner?
Damien: It's cause I'M his partner!
Alfred: I'm afraid not anymore young Damien.
Bruce: We'll find you a new partner.
Dick: I'm not having a new partner. Over my dead body!
Present day
Dick: Is is a male?
Bruce: Does it matter?
Jason: Well, a girl would be nice….
Dick and Bruce: Jason!
Whispering
Alfred: Master Bruce, she as arrived.
Bruce: Prepare her room.
Alfred: As you wish Master Bruce.
Bruce: Alfred, thank you.
Alfred: No, sir. Thank you.
A Limo pulls up in front of the house. Alfred opens the door to greet the new family member.
Alfred: m'lady, i'll take your luggage, and we'll walk this way.
Feminine figure: Thank you, kind sir…
Alfred: Not a problem at all. Come now, and rest.
FF: Is it all over?
Alfred: Yes, it's over.
They enter the house and Dick instantly feels worried.
What if his partner isn't his type? What if they are an enemy? What if?
Dick: enough what ifs.
Voices in hallway
*Muttered words*
Muted Wows
Alfred: And this my dear is the boys hallway… this is Dicks room.
A knock on the door, a pause.
Alfred: Master Grayson? May we come in?
Dick: yeah. Sure Alfred.
The door opens.
Alfred: Master Grayson, this is your new partner.
Dick: Pleasure to meet you.
Ff: Right….. *shy smile*
Dick: Do you know how to fight?
Alfred: Sir- I don't think that-
Dick: Does she know about what we do?
Ff: Yes, I do.
Dick: Good. Are you a fighter?
Alfred: Master Grayson.
Ff: It's fine, Alfred. *turns head toward Dick* Yes, I can fight.
