It was 7 in the morning and (Y/N) was already seeing some disgusting people walk past the dinner. Such as a man with his pants dragging behind him, a girl eating some hot chips, and the loudest yet slowest car driving by. Another day in Gotham. Then, a few minutes later, the same luxury car pulls in and stops in front of (Y/N). He could feel the people staring at him, so he got in as quickly as possible.

Alfred: Good morning, (Y/N).

(Y/N): Morning Mr. Pennyworth. Can we get going please.

He says while holding his hand over his face, blocking the view from bystander passing by.

Alfred: Afraid of the spotlight?

(Y/N): More like afraid of someone remembering. Don't need more reasons to come rob us.

Alfred: I assure you that your family's business will be safe from harm I'll make sure of it.

(Y/N): That's not..... ominous. Not at all.

Soon as they arrived at the manor and (Y/N) notices the empty lot in front if the manor. Empty as in 1 out of the 12 luxury cars is missing. Deciding that it wasn't any of his business to begin with, (Y/N) ignores the small detail.

Alfred drives around the house, to the back, and drives into the garage of the manor. They then take a elevator, not before (Y/N) took several pictures of the cars, up into the office he was shown yesterday. Alfred then walks up to the desk and lifts a tailored suit, similar to his own.

Alfred: I have asked for a tailored suit in your size. You could say it's your uniform of sorts, you don't have to wear it but it's preferable that you do.

(Y/N): How'd you know my size?

Alfred: Let's not focus on the hows, (Y/N). I'll be gone by the end of the day so I would like to see how you will work while I'm gone.

(Y/N): Oh sure thing Mr. Pennyworth. Uh where should I start?

Alfred: You're the butler, you should know.

(Y/N): Right... uhh... I'll clean the manor.... yeah.

He goes to the broom closet nearby the office, one of many, and opens the door. But instead of a broom he finds....

(Y/N): JESUS!!!!!

A mute Asian girl.

(Y/N): Uhm excuse me.

Cassandra:...

He fearfully reaches over her and grabs a broom. After successfully acquiring the broom he moves aside to let her out but she just stands and stares. So he just slowly closes the closet door and walks away.

(Y/N): There's a quiet Asian girl in your broom closet.

Alfred: I beg your pardon?

That's when he notices the mute girl from the closet sitting down on the rolly chair.

(Y/N): Wah? How? Huh?

Alfred: Nevermind that? Let's see how you work now.

(Y/N): Right!

He leaves the office to start in the family room while Alfred stays with Cassandra. Once he knows he's far enough from hearing he reprimanded Cassandra.

Alfred: in the future, please refrain from moving at super human speeds.

Cassandra just nods, understandably.

After that Alfred went to observe the boy work. It wasn't the worse job he's seen, definitely better than Jason ever did, little bit better than Dick. He did have to correct him here and there but after showing him how to do things once (Y/N) seemed to have already mastered it. After helping (Y/N) for a while Alfred had to finish packing.
