Bruce Wayne was driving through the streets of Gotham when he noticed something move in the shadows, he had Alfred stop the car and he got out of it. He walked down an ally when he noticed movement behind him, he quickly turned to see three kids behind him. Two boys and a girl, they looked scared and alone, Bruce walked up to them and noticed they must have been orphans left on the streets to die.
"Hi, I'm Bruce" Bruce said kneeling down in front of them.
"Roy, and these are Artemis and Richard" the oldest boy with red hair said, pointing to the blonde haired girl and black haired boy.
"How old are all of you?" Bruce asked.
"I'm six, Roy's nine, and Dick's four" Artemis informed.
"Do you guys need a ride home?" Bruce asked.
"We don't have a home" Roy confirmed.
"I'm sorry, but if you guys want you can come live with me" Bruce offered.
Bruce noticed the kids hesitate and then Roy nodded; Bruce led them to the car and placed them in.
"I see we are having guest" Alfred stated.
"Yes, lets head home Alfred" Bruce informed and they drove towards the house.
When they arrived the kids eyes all widened at the site of the mansion, Bruce smiled and when the car stopped Alfred opened the door allowing the kids to get out. Bruce led them into the house and they all just stood looking at him unsure of what to do.
"Now why don't we get you guys something to eat?" Bruce suggested and got nods.
They went into the kitchen and Alfred helped Bruce make them sandwiches, the kids thanked them and started eating. After they ate Bruce noticed they all looked a little tired.
"If you guys want you can stay here and live with me?" Bruce offered.
"Are you sure?" Roy asked confused.
"Yes, you guys need a home, and someone to take care of you, I can give you that if you want" Bruce informed.
Bruce was shocked when the three kids all an up hugging him, he smiled and returned the hug.
"Now since it's still early why doesn't Alfred go out and get you guys some stuff you'll need?" Bruce suggested.
"Can we go?" Artemis asked.
"Sure, we'll all go" Bruce smiled.
At the store the kids were a little shy at first, but then they started to help pick out their clothes and some toys and other things they needed. When they got home they all placed their stuff in their rooms and got cleaned up and changed into pajama's. Alfred walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray of cookies and milk, while the kids sat on the couch.
"Who would like some cookies before bed?" Alfred smiled.
The kids all got up and took a cookie while thanking Alfred. They took bites letting smiles spread on their faces.
"You all ready giving them your famous cookies Alfred?" Bruce laughed.
"Of course" Alfred smiled.
"Mr. Wayne, thank you for letting us be here" Roy said.
"You guys don't have to thank me and you can call me whatever you guys want" Bruce informed.
"Can we call you dad?" Artemis asked shyly.
"If you want to" Bruce replied.
"Daddy?" Dick asked.
"Yes, Dick" Bruce turned to him with a smile.
"Thank you" Dick smiled at him.
"Okay, young masters and mistress time for bed" Alfred informed as he led the kids up the stairs.
"Wait what about dad?" Artemis asked.
"I have some things I need to take care of, I'll see you all in the morning" Bruce informed as the kids continued up the stairs.
Alfred had them all tucked in and went down to the cave to see Bruce in his costumes without the cowl on.
"The children all are asleep" Alfred informed.
"Good, I'm just looking at some stuff and filled out some documents" Bruce said not turning from the computer.
"You seem preoccupied" Alfred stated.
"I never thought of myself as a father, but when I first saw those kids something in me came out" Bruce explained.
"Perhaps the man your father was just showed" Alfred smiled.
"Do you think I'll make a-" Bruce tried to ask.
"You already have proven that, some other person would have left the kids, but you didn't you allowed them to have family they needed" Alfred answered.
"I made an appointment with Dr. Leslie, and I'm looking into schools, but since it's early summer I'm just researching" Bruce informed.
"I'll make sure they have a good breakfast then" Alfred laughed and then exit the cave.
Bruce got up and he walked towards the batmobile and realized something, for once he a reason to get home to be with his kids and make the city safer for his kids.
