On Santa's Lap

Part two, the Bat cave

Bruce just finished repairs on the bat Mobile, the kids and Alfred had been gone for a while, the snow was coming down and they were supposed to be back an hour ago. He was starting to worry, just as he stood up his phone rang, it was Alfred. Bruce quickly picked up "Hello?" "uh..b? Yeah, I think we're screwed out here, don't tell Alfred but I stole his phone cuz mine died and, well, he's adamant that we're fine" he heard his oldest ramble out " dick? What's going on are you ok??" Replied Bruce "Yeah but we might be awhile," dick said, after a pause, Bruce said "dick, take everyone to a hotel for the night, the roads aren't safe to drive at night. Send the bill to the Wayne estate and I'll take care of it, I'll come get you in the morning" Dick agreed and they hung up soon afterwards. Bruce sighed, worried about the kids, the scarecrow, and about being alone for another night, if only he had gone with them.
