"Jason. No, Tim. Damian, no. RICHARD! Over here." Bruce called out trying to get the right name for his eldest son.

"Getting a bit senile in your old age?" Richard joked.

Bruce just glared at him.

"Okay! Okay! Sorry, boss. What's up?" Richard asked, eating Mango ice cream.

"We're needed in the Watch Tower. Get the rest of the kids and let's go." Bruce commanded.

"'Kayya!" Richard smiled and ran up the stairs of the Batcave.

"Then, Robin. No- Red Hood. No, the other kid." Batman said, trying to remember Tim's hero name.

"Red Robin?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Yes. Red Robin will go and get the information from the system." Batman finished up the plan.

"Do you need something?" Supergirl asked.

"Coffee. I need lots of coffee." Batman said, "And I need less children."

"Well, you all heard him! Sorry, but we have to let three of you go. Red Robin, Robin, and Red Hood, you didn't make it." Nightwing joked, smiling the whole time so that they knew he was joking.

"Just name them Thing 1, 2, 3, and 4." Captain Atom smirked.

"I might." Batman growled.

Nightwing laughed loudly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Robin! Shit- no- Nightwing! Fuck! Red Robin! No- the other kid! Red whatever!" Batman screamed from his seat in front of the Batcomputer.

"Me?" Jason asked, chewing a toothpick.

"Yes. You." Batman growled.

"Whatcha need?" Jason asked.

"Nametags for all of you." Bruce said, completely serious.

~~~~~~~~~

"Red Hood! No- the other Red thing!" Batman said as they were on patrol.

"Me?" Red Robin asked.

"No, the other red one!" Batman growled.

"Are you asking for me, Father?" Damian asked.

"Yes! You!" Batman almost screamed.

"What do you need, Batman?" Robin asked.

"Report on the weapons inside." Batman said.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Jason! No- Dick! Fuck! Other man in the house!" Bruce yelled.

"Do you mean Alfred?" Dick asked, popping his head into Bruce's study.

"Yes! Alfred!" Bruce called.

"Yes, sir?" Alfred was there in a second.

"More coffee please." Bruce said.

"No." Alfred blandly refused.

Dick looked at both of them before running away.

"Why not?" Bruce growled.

"You need proper rest, Master Bruce. You have been going 9 days without proper sleep. You're going to sleep and I will give you no more coffee until you do." Alfred said.

He refused to back down.

~~~~~~~~~

Bruce woke up hours later, feeling much better.

Alfred was the greatest butler and friend ever.
