Thanks so much for the reviews!
Hawkpool – Wow Thanks so Much! Yeah while writing this I was nearly in tears too! I can see Batman holding a Robin plushie to his chest too hence why it appeared.
Scotty1609 – Thank you so much for the review! Yeah um not entirely sure what crude means I'm guessing it's like bad or like rude or mean um yeah…anyway yeah I'm kinda twisted (Especially to characters) also I had no idea what to write for Bruce's view so that's why it took so long.
Warning – Character Death and OOC
Alfred's POV (Three Days after Dick's death)
I walked around the house feeling numb. I had spent the last three days making preparations for the Master Dick's funeral. Tears had been overwhelming me at night but at day I had been keeping my tears at bay. Master Bruce had been taking Master Dick's Death rather hard and frankly so had I. Master Bruce had been asking, no demanding thatI hang his artwork and photos of him around the house which I would've done with being demanded but I knew Master Bruce regretted spending more time with his son.
I stared at his work no his life that covered the walls. From artwork to journal entries to quotes all covered the walls. Master Dick was everywhere and Master Bruce instead of pretending Master Dick never existed, he remembered him every day and thought of him constantly. Some nights before his patrol Master Bruce would come and ask me if I thought he was a good superhero. I would always ask him why he thought why he would ever think he wasn't and he would always reply that he couldn't save his parents. I would reply that he was a child and that there was nothing he could've done to save them. After this Master Bruce would stay silent for a couple minutes and then whisper, " a child is what Dick was a child a thirteen year old child and I let him die I never even said goodbye to him." He would stay quiet for a couple of minutes and then breathe out and mutter, "Our last conversation was an argument I had told him he wasn't ready that he couldn't grow up and act all mature that he had to stay a kid. It's all my fault Alfred." I would always tell him that Master Dick grew up faster than most kids when he saw his parents die like he did and then I would continue saying how alike he and Master Dick were and that Master Dick died a hero's death just like he would've wanted just like he (Bruce) wanted. I would finish by saying that he needed to continue saving lives as it was what Master Dick would've wanted.
I sighed sadly at the thought of what Master Dick would've said that Alfred was having giving a wisdom lesson to Master Bruce and how he would always leave with the parting words after that conversation and his wise words, "You are so asterous Alfred." I stopped and let the tears fall. I'd always considered Master Dick as a grandson and without him here at the manor the place seemed empty like its life had been taken when Master Dick's was. Master Dick was the life of our home he could make even Master Batman smile with his bright baby blue eyes and his adorable smile. The boy had the most adorable pout ever and he could make Batman give in with it. I considered him a grandson and his death hurt. I missed the life of the manor he meant much too so many people and now he was gone. I knew we had to find strength to carry on. We have to use the type of strength that Master Dick had and used to get over his parents death. The type of strength that Master Dick used to train with bruised ribs, broken bones the type of strength that he used to get through all the bullying and teasing about his circus background or his brains his strength that allowed him to do all those things and more like get up after being tortured or thrown far into a wall, battle all those wacky villains and still be happy and smile and stay innocent through it all. Yes Alfred knew that Master Dick had been one tough kid and to get through his death they had be tough too.
