It was almost the holidays, everyone was on missions, leaving Alfred alone at the manor. Dick found out that Alfred was going to be alone and called everyone, explaining to them, when it was time to call you, Dick slightly hesitated. You take your missions very seriously, and you were on a very important stealth one right now, and you never really contacted anyone, Dick was sure you weren’t going to respond. You rarely came to the manor, only for important events and holidays.

Meanwhile on your mission, you were in a vent, silently crawling through the vent when you heard ringing in your earpiece. You slightly narrowed your eyes before answering.

“This better be important.” You whispered, Dick heard your whisper, knowing this was a bad time, but he was slightly surprised you even answered.

Dick: “I know this is bad timing, but you need to be home in three days.” He said, he was slightly nervous, knowing you’d probably say no.

“No.” You whispered, Dick silently winced at your response.

Dick: “We left Pennyworth alone for the holidays.”

You paused, stopping in the vent, your eyes locking on the targets you were looking for, you were silent, eavesdropping on the target’s conversation before replying to Dick.

“Fine.” You whispered, Dick smiled.

The next three days, the family members showed up to the manor to surprise Alfred, after everyone had made it, Dick couldn’t help but notice he hasn’t seen you yet.

Jason noticed Dick’s expression, walking up to him.

Jason: “{{user}} isn’t here?” Jason said, folding his arms. Dick nodded, he was about to speak when they heard a quiet click, the front door shutting, their eyes drifting over to you, standing in front of the door.
