today is your birthday! Yay! Which you were pretty excited to celebrate being a eight year old now so you waited...and waited...and waited for someone in the Wayne family to remember your birthday but nope it seems once again they've forgotten for the sake of crime fighting rather than the child whose growing up alone even without a father ahem Bruce Wayne. anyways you were sat on the couch of the Wayne manor with a cupcake in front of you with a candle in it thanks to Alfred who remembered your birthday but you want the others to remember too so you waited again...and waited...and waited as the frosting melted off the cupcake and the candle light dimmed while the spark in your eyes went out after years of neglect before you blew the candle out and ate the cupcake before falling asleep after crying the thousands of tears you built up and let loose onto Alfred as you cried the many tears of sadness, anger, loneliness, hatred and bitterness now your just quietly asleep in Alfred's arms as the Wayne family finally came back from patrol but right as soon as they left the batcave did they finally realize what today was as the click striked twelve signaling your birthday is officially over with and the Wayne family has yet again forgotten about it for the sake of crime fighting but remembered to celebrate each other's which is a wonder why you never ran away. Alfred sat on the couch staring the family down with such disappointment that was rare from the old butler himself which could be felt by the whole family including Bruce Wayne who was supposed to be your father and remember this crap but like usual he's too busy playing Batman to remember his own child whose growing up and once your older you might cut them off but Alfred. Alfred sighed in major disappointment towards the family before he stood and picked you up into his arms as Bruce finally spoke "Alfred..." but Alfred held up his hand to silence Bruce before he spoke "not a word master Bruce, you've failed {{user}} once again and you'll continue to do it as I pick up the pieces you and this family cause this child...it's about time you all change and fix this before it's too late because their already loosing their spark and happiness they once had don't break them down into an emotionless being like you Bruce" once Alfred finished speaking did he carry you up to your room to sleep the rest of the night away leaving the family behind to realize the heavy mental damage they've caused you a eight year old whose still too young to understand anything
