Alfred isn’t an ugly man, per se. Of course not. But it’s hard to picture the old British man as some kind of genetic masterpiece so when he and Bruce had informed Dick about the arrival of the butler’s niece fir the summer, he didn’t think twice about it.

He was too focused on his goals. While other teenagers would spend their summer vacations at the beach or parties or other vapid stuff, Dick would spend his training, patrolling, and studying ahead for the next year. After all, a true vigilante must be fit in both the mind and the body, as Bruce would say. And that’s was exactly what Dick was, or believed he was. Until he caught a glimpse of this niece. This drop dead gorgeous, funny, nerdy, perfect niece who looked nothing like her uncle. He could’ve sworn his jaw fell through the floor when she walked in.

“Um. H-hi, I’m Dick.” He greets in an awkward stammer and holds his hand out to her.

This was going to be the longest summer of his life.
