Alex appeared in the Batcave after disappearing from The Young Justice building.
'Dick should be here. Never met this brat after coming back from Oa this time. He has been here for a month and I've been busy'. Alex thought and looked around the room.
He found a child of about 13-14 years of age sitting in front of a computer and looking through something.
Alex came behind him silently and covered his face with his hands and hooked his neck with his elbow.
"Little guy, you should be more vigilant of your surroundings. Hasn't Bruce taught you anything?" Alex let go after saying that. Although he was smiling in his mind as much as he can.
"Who are you?" Dick asked while turning around and looking at Alex vigilantly.
Due to the darkness in the cave and Alex's own interference, he couldn't see clearly.
"Did Bruce never tell you about your Uncle?" Alex said with a smile and stepped forward towards Dick.
"Alex!" Dick exclaimed excitedly when he saw Alex clearly in front of him.
"Brat, who are you calling Alex? I am your uncle. You are Bruce's foster son. I don't know what he is thinking, not introducing you to the others still". Alex circled his neck with his arm and rubbed his head with his fist.
Dick cried out in distress from the pain while Alex's rubbed his head vigorously.
"Hmph, you are not much older than me". Dick smiled and turned his head with a snort.
"Little brat, I am 21 and you are probably only 14 or something". Alex said while laughing and looking at Dick.
"Hehe, You can only be my Elder Brother". Dick laughed and cheekily said to Alex.
"Then Bruce is your Elder Brother as well?" Alex raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Of course". Dick nodded his head and agreed readily.
Just then, Bruce stepped into the room and heard the conversation between the two.
"What's the matter about being the Elder Brother?" Bruce said while silently standing behind Dick.
Dick jumped and turned around to look at Bruce. He was scared shitless again.
He wasn't properly trained by Bruce yet. So his vigilance and crisis response weren't all that good.
"This brat wants to be our younger brother". Alex rubbed Dick's head and said to Bruce.
"No". Bruce denied flatly and walked over to the computer.
"You heard the guy. Better call me uncle from now on". Alex smiled smugly while looking down at Dick.
"Okay". Dick said in a downcast mood but there was a small smile on his face.
"How ild are you now?" Alex asked.
"I am just 15". Dick answered and lifted his head.
"Well, since you are Bruce's apprentice, I will not interfere with your training. After your training finishes in about a year or two. You will join another organisation under me". Alex nodded his head and explained while moving towards Bruce and Dick following behind him.
He was listening intently. Alex was hid idol. In fact, Alex could be considered most people's favourite hero and Idol.
Bruce listened and didn't object on the decision. This is what he wanted anyway.
He was busy fighting Crime everyday in Gotham city and had minimum time to babysit and train Dick.
Alex could be considered the most busy and the most laid back hero out of everyone in the Justice League.
He had no regular Villains to fight everyday but when he was needed then things weren't so simple anymore.
So having him in charge of the kids and teenagers was a better choice for everyone plus he was a good trainer.
'Hehe Bruce, Oh Bruce. You done and fucked up. You didn't tell Mom that you took a Foster son'. Alex smiled evilly while looking at Bruce and thought to himself.
Bruce suddenly had a chill up his spine and turned to look back at Alex with narrowed eyes.
He suddenly thought that something bad would happen to him today and he was quite sure about it. He just didn't know what.
'What mischief are you thinking about now?' Bruce thought while looking at Alex.
"What is it?" Alex asked gently like an obedient younger brother.
"Nothing". Bruce shook his head and got back to work.
Alex nodded and patted Dick's head before disappearing like Kamui.
He was going to implement his snitch right away. He couldn't wait when Bruce would come out of Batcave.
He appeared in the lounge and looked around. He saw Martha sitting on the couch and chatting happily with Hancock.
Hancock lived in the house and could be considered a permanent member of the family already.
Just Marriage was left and everything else was already done. She was already living in the house anyway.
"Mom". Alex called and laid down on the couch while putting his head on Martha's lap.
"What is it Honey?" Martha smiled tenderly and caressed Alex's hair with her hand.
Alex squinted for a while and enjoyed his mother's tender caress on his head with a sense of fulfilment.
He just felt content when he laid down in his mother's lap and had her caress his head like this.
Hancock on the side just smiled slightly and watched the pair of mother and son.
"Mom". Alex called again after a while.
"What is it?" Martha asked again while smiling from ear to ear. She loved peaceful moments like these.
"Bruce got a foster son". Alex broke the news while gloating inside his mind.
"What!" Martha was so shocked that she subconsciously stood up from the couch.
"Are you joking?" She quickly asked and shook Alex by the shoulders.
"No, he has taken him in for a month now but didn't bother to tell us". Alex shook his head and added more fuel to the fire.
"This boy has grown up huh". Martha said with a sweet smile that made both Hancock and Alex sweat profusely.
She may be weaker than them but she is his mother and when she gives a lecture, you can only listen obediently.
It's because they live and respect her that they fear her anger or they wouldn't give a rat's ass about it.
