A/N: So last chapter was short. (All of my chappies are) So just pretend that this is part 2 of the last chapter... 'Kay? :D

TWO CHAPTERS IN TWO HOURS!? I know, but I just had a pack of tangfastics so I'm hyper!


The Ferrari arrived at Wayne Manor just before lunch-hour started at Gotham Academy. Alfred parked the car in the rather large garage and turned the keys, pulling them out of the car and, effectively, turning it off.

He turned towards the young acrobat, who had taken to looking out the window.

"Master Dick, as serious as this matter may be, moping will not help." Alfred commented.

Dick stayed looking out of the window. "M'not moping..."'

"Of course not..." Alfred replied sarcastically, stepping out of the car. He closed the door behind him and went to the backdoor, opening it.

"Whatever, Alf." Dick replied, grabbing his crutches. Alfred helped him out of the car and stand upright. Dick hobbled up the driveway and stood waiting for his 'grandfather'.

Alfred locked the car and walked up the driveway, stopping next to Dick. The younger looked like he was pondering something.

"Alfred?" The boy asked.

"Yes, Master Dick?"

"If Bruce got arrested... Would you take care of me?" He asked hopefully.

Alfred sighed, truly, he had wondered the same. "If I could choose, then I would, Master Dick."

"Okay." Dick replied, going up the stairs on his crutches. Halfway up, he stopped and turned around, "But... What would happen if you couldn't choose?"

Alfred looked down and started to walk towards the kitchen, "Lunch will be ready in half an hour."

Alfred walked around a corner and out of Dick's view.

Dick hung his head and headed back upstairs. He knew what a subject change meant.


Yeah, again it's short, but I only get so much sugar from Tangfastics...
