Nate's P.O.V

"They're here," I heard Thorne say

"Where, Mr. Thorne?" One of his goons asked.

"Huh? Ah! There!" Thorne said.

I pulled out a Batarang and threw it at one of the goons. They both then tried to attack us, but we beat them in the shadows. Once we were done with them, Thorne ran out a window onto the roof tops we chased after him, and Bruce caught him and took him to a water tower.

"How'd you do that?" Thorne asked

"We're The Batman and Batboy." Bruce said to him, and once we were done tying up him and his goons, we went back to the batmobile to go home. Once we got there, we took off our mask and cowl and saw Alfred.

"Surprise." Alfred said, revealing a cake behind him.

"We're touched, Alfred, but it's not either of our birthdays." I said to him.

"It's an anniversary, Master Bruce, Master Nate. Three years ago tonight, you both first donned the cape, mask, and cowl." Alfred told us

"Crime flies." Bruce said.

"Chop-chop. Make a wish." Alfred said to us

Bruce started to make the wish, and I patted his shoulder.

"I wish they were here to Bruce," I said.

"To the memory of Thomas and Martha Wayne, the reason I became Batman." Bruce said, blowing out the candles

"I wish I got to know them as well as you did." I said to him

"I do too. You were only a baby when they were killed." Bruce told me.

"I know, and I might not remember them, but helping you fight crime is making me wonder if they'd be proud of us." I said

"I think they would be proud of you both, Master Nate ." Alfred said, handing me a slice of the cake.

That night, I was playing video games with some of my friends. We streamed Minecraft and Call of Duty for a couple of hours. After that, I decided to get some sleep.

The next morning, I woke up a bit late and saw Bruce watching the news on the couch. When the news mentioned the Gotham Gators game, Bruce turned off the TV.

"Which billionaires Bruce and Nate Wayne will be there to enjoy. Yours and Master Nate's season tickets." Alfred said as I walked over and sat on the couch beside Bruce.

"Oh, to-tonight? Oh, but I had.." Bruce started to say.

"Work to do in the Batcave, bro?" I asked him

"For the Batman and Batboy to better remain below the radar, Bruce and Nate Wayne must occasionally venture above it." Alfred told us, and after a long day of nothing to do, it was time to go to the game.

"Ahem," Alfred coughed to get Bruce's attention.

"I know, Alfred. It's time for swinging Bachelor's Bruce and Nate Wayne to put on party hats." Bruce said.

"Rest assured, dear big brother of mine. We are never far from the Batcave thanks to the modern miracle of batwave." I said to him. We both then left to go watch the game. We got an alert from the Batwave about a break out in Arkham, so Bruce and I left to summon the Batmobile.

I clicked the button, and it almost hit us.

"You gotta work on those stops, Nate." Bruce told me. "I know," I said, and  we then got changed into our suits and drove to Arkham. We watched as a jack in the box shaped bomb exploded and destroyed the bridge.
