Priories Epilogue Bruce makes it up to Dicky see first part for other details

A half-hour later Dick and Bruce are sitting in a homemade tent in the middle of the Den. The tent consists of blankets draped over two chairs and one on the floor plus pillows strewn about. They're both in their PJs Dick is in his Superman set complete with Robe. Bruce is wearing a soft pair of royal blue ones with his monogram on them.

The two boys are eating cookies, popcorn and Alfred's homemade Coco. Midnight is sitting beside them happily. Alfred told them Midnight could spend the night with them, if they all behaved. Even the dog seems to know who really runs the household.

Alfred let him stay when Bruce explained what happened at the cemetery, in private. He didn't want to upset Dick any further. They both agreed Midnight would help the child feel better. The only conditions were that that the dog is let out after Dick fell asleep and anytime he needed to do his business.

Suddenly Dicky hits Bruce with a pillow. Bruce says" Ok kid this means war! Bruce shouts They keep hitting each other till they both collapse in fits of laughter.

Late into the night father, son and canine companion lay on their bellies watching movies on the VCR. They watch the Goonies and a Spiderman film from the 70s. And Dick begs him to let him watch the semi -authorized biography of Superman.

Around midnight they let the dog out as promised. Then they brush their teeth and go to bed under a pile of blankets in their homemade tent. Yes, Bruce keeps his promise to the boy. He spends the night at home with his family, instead of prowling the streets as Batman. The two of them are snuggled up together in a gentle sleep. Candice Wentworth is nothing but an unpleasant part of their past now.
