Bruce slept soundly in his bed in Wayne Manor. Ellie and Alfred hadn't left his room, both of them watching him sleep and waiting for him to wake up.
He was severely malnourished and dehydrated, so they set up an IV drip to refuel his body. His back was broken in three places, he might be able to walk again with rehab but he would never be Batman again. Alfred had taken the opportunity to give Bruce a hair cut so they could see his face. He had been tortured for years by Falcone, and everyone thought he was dead.
Ellie was so conflicted with herself. The last time she had seen Bruce she had hated him so much, and now she didn't know what to feel. The hatred had gone because she understood him now. But she didn't know if love or kindness was something she was ready to give Bruce.
Alfred was just happy that Bruce was home safe and that Ellie had made it out of the bank safe as well. It was his job to protect the both of them and he had failed at that recently.
"Do you think he knows?" Ellie asked Alfred after nearly an hour of silence between the two.
"Knows?" Alfred had no idea what Ellie was asking him.
"Do you think he knows that I took over for him? He recognised me in that bank with my suit on" Ellie says to Alfred. Ellie was surprised that after nearly six years Bruce would remember what she looked like.
"You forget that Master Bruce has been Batman a lot longer than you've been Warbird. He knows a lot of information regarding to a variety of subjects" Alfred informed Ellie. "You do have the opportunity to tell him if he is not clued in" Alfred tells Ellie.
Ellie sighs. "How do you tell someone they've been replaced. Given his injuries he's not going to be Batman ever again" Ellie was hoping when they found Bruce that she could return to having a semi-normal life. She didn't want to give up Warbird entirely, but with the Batman back she had hoped that she wouldn't have to keep putting her life on hold.
"It will take a while for Master Bruce to adjust. In the mean time he can help out with other activities. Strategy and such. He could even advise you on ways to advance your training" Alfred suggested. "I am running out of ideas for training scenarios" Alfred confessed.
Ellie laughed. "Give yourself some credit Al, I couldn't have faced half the things I have this year without your training. I'm so much stronger than I was when I started doing this" Ellie says to Alfred. She missed the days when her biggest worry was facing someone like Zsasz.
Alfred smiles for a moment. "I know that you said you would do this until we found Bruce. What are your plans now?" Alfred asked. Bruce couldn't protect the city anymore.
