Batman: The Enemy Within (Male Reader Robin)

Chapter 4: Batcave

Y/N's POV

Me and Bruce arrived back at the Batcave. We took off our suits. Bruce has the box Riddler gave him. We walk to the Batcomputer, Alfred is there.

Alfred: What an eventful evening.

Bruce activates the table from the ground. Alfred has a plate of tea.

Alfred: I've taken the liberty of preparing some refreshments.

Bruce: Thanks, Al.

Bruce puts the box on the table.

Bruce: I need to focus...

Y/N: Maybe music will help.

I walk over to the record player.

I look at the choices of music.

Y/N: Can't go wrong with the classics.

I take out the classical music disk and put it on the player, I put the needle down. Playing the music.

Alfred: The computer is finished scanning the Riddler's puzzle box. It's ready when you two are.

Bruce: Let's get to work.

I join Bruce back at the table.

Bruce: No explosives detected. No radioactivity. Nothing dangerous at all, so far. Computer: run another scan. I want to be absolutely sure this thing is safe.

Alfred: Also... I took the liberty of digging up everything I could find on the Agency. There's plenty here. Know your enemy and all that.

Alfred is about to turn on the screen, but his hand starts shaking, he then grabs it. Me and Bruce look at Alfred worried.

Alfred: It comes and goes. Ever since the kidnapping, and... And all the other business with Lady Arkham.

Bruce: Alfred...

Alfred: Now, now, don't you worry about me.

Y/N: You're family, Alfred. We worry about family.

Alfred: Thank you, Y/N. It'll pass. Working always helps.

Bruce turns on the Batcomputer.

Bruce: The Agency. The public face of a shadow committee of military leaders, intelligence experts, and government officials.

Y/N: Civil rights violations, domestic black sites, decentralized accountability.

Alfred: This information... it's all before Waller took over the director position. Perhaps she's given them a new direction.

Bruce: Maybe, but the Agency's empowered to override local law enforcement with impunity.

Alfred: Batman and Robin got some competition in town.

Y/N: The Riddler's a flashy homicidal maniac with a thing for puzzles...and Waller and her Agency might be just as dangerous.

Alfred: Again, Waller may be running a more... ethical operation these days.

Bruce puts up Riddler's files on the screen.

Alfred: Yes. Riddler terrorized this city long before you two were Batman and Robin.

Y/N: Gotham's original costumed criminal.

Alfred: Yes. To have him returned... it's unsettling. I remember when he was the scourge of the underworld. Even Carmine Falcone gave him a wide berth. He was presumed dead for so long. Why come back to Gotham?

Bruce: Well, he seemed to have a prior relationship with Mori. Some kind of axe to grind. Let me upload the rest of this to the codex.

Y/N: The Agency realized Riddler was still alive  when he orchestrated a prison break at Pena Duro.
