He was great in this discussion with Barbara. As you wrote – the King of Gotham! :) And he was right, IMO. He needed someone to stay in Gotham and guard the castle. I don’t blame Barbara not wanting to obey at first, though. These decision are always so difficult. *Sigh*

Yay, I'm really glad you liked that part! Barbara's not happy about having to stay at home, but she understand why she does. *pets her*

Oh yes, Alfred – every time I see him or read about him, I love that man. :)

Alfred is amazing. :D

I was thinking Bruce was going to miss Ace when he had been telling him to stay and protect Gotham. *Hugs Bruce*

He's going to miss Ace a lot! Poor Bruce...

Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm really glad you liked it! :D
