#alfred doesnt get the credit he deserves for how protective he is

[karnival2]

So I’ve been Thonkin™️

I’ve been thinking over and over about writing a fic where batman gets like. suuuper injured. life threateningly injured. and a recently formed JL takes him back to the watchtower, trying to patch him up.

Meanwhile Alfred has access to the cameras and mics on the watchtower because, batcave, and he sees just how bad it is, and is just BESIDE himself. Barely restraining himself when, then, he hears a few league members not immediately tending to anything musing about who this mysterious “alfie” is that bats kept asking for as he was passing in and out of consciousness. And Alfred is just like. Okay that’s it my boy needs me.

Zetas his ass up to the watchtower, bullies the other members into letting him get into the medbay, and assists with patching batman up. Everybody is confused.

And OF COURSE he sternly states (or snarls, not sure how Unhinged With Worry I want him to be for this) “that is MY SON in there!” as he’s pushing his way into the medbay, leaving the league BAFFLED at this. Like….. batman’s…. dad?????….. like.

I love batfamily meets the justice league but I also want more ALFRED meets the justice league. Especially in the context of Overprotective Father With An Idiot Son Whom He Is Very Proud Of!

And of course, this is far before anybody knows batman’s identity. So now all they know about batman is 1: he claims to be human 2: he knows how to destroy most living creatures and 3: his dad alfie is really scary (maybe scarier than batman himself)
