"Sometimes I Wonder" (A Lego Batjokes Fanfiction)

Chapter 65: Hand Wounds

There was only one more day left until Dick's birthday, and so far, he had requested nothing for his special day. This surprised the living daylights out of Bruce. He expected his son to be begging him to buy him a new and expensive toy. Instead, he wanted nothing. Nothing! That was abnormal and out of character for the sidekick to say. Even Garfield was shocked when the butler asked Dick what he wanted for his day. It was strange amd not normal. But, if that was what Dick really wanted, the Dark Knight would grant him his desired wish, even if it was strange.

On this lovely spring day, Alfred was checking on Dick's wounds from yesterday morning's events. Of course, the butler was upset about what had happened, but he understood what the clown wanted to do. It was not his intension to harm the freckled face boy or the man in black. If anything, he just wanted Robin to know what it felt like to be a villain for a day. Which, to the butler, made him chuckle at the thought of Dick wearing a mini Joker outfit. That would have been cute and hilarious at the same time. A part of him wished that the bomb didn't backfire like it did. Unfortunately, it did. And, as expected, the clown blamed himself for his evil deed. Of course, it was his fault, after all. He just wanted the Dark Knight's attention, as usual.

Dick whimpered as the butler let the badly injured wounds be exposed out in the open to get a quick breath of air. It pained Alfred's heart to watch the boy whimper and squirm in pain. It must have hurt very badly. Then again, Dick could have lost his finger while trying to grab ahold of something. That would have been a nightmare to deal with.

Once he thought that it was time, Alfred grabbed the roll of hand wrap and began to wrap it around Dick's hand, sighing at each groan of pain the small boy would give. Dick's eyes were closed shut as tears began to form in the corners of his eyes. It felt like he was being stabbed by multiple nails in the hand. A stinging sensation filled in his hands as they twitched slightly.

Finally, Alfred finished with the freckled face boy's wounds and went to the cupboard. He heard the boy gasp as he pulled out a strawberry Jolly Rancher lollipop and gave it to him, smiling softly. Alfred then told Dick not to tell his father, which he happily went with. He ruffled his hair and kissed the top of his head gently, earning a kiss on the cheek from the sidekick. Dick then began to run back to his bedroom, waving and thanking the butler for helping with his wounds. Alfred chuckled and waved back and watched as the boy went back up the stairs, leaving Alfred alone. He then began to make some lunch as he flicked on the television, laughing at the News station as they were reporting on, surprise, another one of Joker's crazy plans.

Well, guess who is being told off tonight? The butler thought to himself, laughing to himself softly as he began to make grilled cheese sandwhiches for the boys. I wonder if Bruce will pull a Joker and make him sleep on the couch. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
