Third Person

It was the next morning when Alfred walked into Tony's lab to see him working with a cup of coffee in hand.

"It seems both you and Master Bruce still have the same habits."

"Yeah well Clint brought up some information to me last night and I couldn't sleep," Tony said as screwed a bolt in.

"We can talk about your friend's terrible hobby of spying on people later. The boys miss Gotham. You haven't been to the mansion in years. I'm sure your friends, son, the boys, and you would love to stay there for a week or two."

"They really want to go back to that city that bad that your coming to talk me into it. I guess I can talk to them about it," Tony said as an after thought.

"Good now you are getting sleep tonight. I expect we will be departing early in the next morning of course," Alfred told him walking away as Tony tried to stop him, knowing he failed.

It was later in the day when Tony talked his team into going to his childhood home. Steve, Bruce, and Thor agreed to see how Tony grew up. Clint and Natasha however, agreed to hopefully solve the mystery of the four boys. Peter was going because he had to. He had no choice in the matter, no choice at all.

When Alfred told his charges they were going back home he couldn't stop the smile on his face as he saw all of them light up like a Christmas tree.

It was the next morning and everyone was boarding Tony's private jet. Once it was in the air and everyone was settled Peter asked what Gotham was like.

"None of you answer that," Tony said pointing at the bats before they could answer.

"But dad we're going to be there for a week at least. I might as well know somethings about Gotham," Peter told his dad, giving him the perfect puppy dog eyes that made Tony give in, "Fine! But in my opinion Gotham is a shitstorm and should dissapear forever."

"If it's so bad then why do you all want to go back," Steve asked them as Peter and the other heroes looked at the bats.

"It's filled with drugs, gangs, and psychopaths," Jason said with no hesitation, "but it is home."

"Don't sugarcoat it for them Jay," Tim said next to him as the adults, except Alfred, looked horrified.

"But we're going to be safe where we're going, right," Bruce asked.

"Depends on if anyone decides to show up. Also we all have friends that we plan on hanging out with while we're here," Dick told them.

"After hearing that we can't let you run around on your own," Bruce told them as the bats were about to respond Thor cut it, "Banner is right. What kind of guardian would the man of Iron be to let you walk around such a dangerous place."

"A great one seeing as we all know self defense, we all have disguises to not be recognized by the media, and we know where we're going and know where to avoid, but most importantly is that we know how Gotham works" Jason told them as Tony scoffed at the disguises part.

"What is funny to you," Damian asked him.

"Disguises. Those never work. What makes you think yours will," Tony asked them as all of the bat boys smirked.

They all left to go change into their street clothes, left their hair in the messy phase and put on the dark sunglasses. They walked back to where everyone was and sat down as Tony laughed at them, "That's it. I can tell it's you."

"You can, but not the public. With Bruce being the richest person in Gotham and running Wayne industries, we had to put on an image for the public. Slicked back hair, monkey suits, and fancy shoes along with the perfected smile. When we wanted to go out all we really had to do was hide our eyes, mess with our hair, and change our clothes. No one expects the kids of the White Prince of Gotham to go out and about unsupervised," Tim told them

"What about all the bad things that you guys mentioned. The psychopaths," Peter asked them.

"Well their's a terrorizing clown, a cat burglar, someone who's undecided, and more," Jason said jokingly, and laughed when he saw the confused faces. Dick smacked him over the head for that one.

"What do you mean when you said you all know how Gotham works," Clint asked.

"Gotham is a city headed for hell. Everyone knows that, but that's how it's always been," Tim explained. "A good example would be Jason vs Thor over there. If Jason was to walk down crime alley at four in the morning he could beat any guy who tried to mug him, but Thor. He would be ripped to shreds. He seems to have a happy demeanor about him that people can sense. Sure he's a god or whatever, but a five year old could mug him and be gone by the time he realizes."

"I doubt that could happen," Thor said with confidence.

"Your argument would of helped you if Todd had not taken your wallet through Drake's explanation," Damian said as they all looked towards Jason holding Thor's wallet open to look through it.

"How'd you do that," Tony asked confused.

"I was raised on the streets. Bruce didn't adopt me till I was ten. I had to survive some way," Jason told them as he looked out the window, a clear sign that he didn't want to talk about it.

A few more conversations happened, some napped, some read, some listened to music, and others were just patient with their thoughts until the plane was landing. Alfred told them to wait there as he went to get a vehicle that would fit everyone.

(A/N I forgot about Happy until now, but he's with them.)

Alfred drove the limo up and opened the door for them all to enter. When he gestured for Happy to enter, Happy just put his hand up and said, "I'll sit in the passenger seat up front with you."

It wasn't long before they reached the manor and the bats were getting out and running up the door as Alfred was yelling at them, "No running indoors," but gave up and smiled at them. Alfred and Happy told the others not to worry about the luggage, to just go inside and explore.

The bats went to their rooms, while the New Yorkers stood awkwardly in the foyer. Happy and Alfred came in with some luggage, but not all. At seeing them Alfred decided to show them where their rooms are, along with dropping off their luggage, and giving them a tour. He asked and made sure that Happy was okay with getting the rest of the luggage by himself.

Alfred led the Avengers to their rooms first, then he would show them the rest of the mansion, even Tony who might need a refresher.

As they arrived to a hall filled with rooms the team could see that six doors had gold plate on them with names on them. On the right side the names went from Bruce, Dick, and Damian, on the left side the three doors said Alfred, Jason, and Tim. 

"This is the main wing where all of the master stay. They're is also an extra few rooms for the lot of you. Pick any room of your choosing," Alfred said as they all looked at each other before waking towards a room. Alfred and Happy bought the respective owner's luggage where it belongs, while Alfred marked the doors.

Once everyone was in the hall, the bats coming out to see what was going on, Alfred decided that some ground rules needed to be layed down. "I have some rules for you all to follow, as this is more the Young masters home then your. Do not go into their rooms without knocking and they will do the same. Do not enter the late Master Bruce's office, only the permanent residents may go in there. Am I missing anything young sirs," Alfred asked his charges.

"No running indoors," Tim told him, not looking up from his phone.

"No jumping or swinging from the chandler," Dick said with a goofy grin.

"No using the bushes as target practice. We know the rules Pennyworth," Damian told him.

"No smoking indoors and if we are to use guns use the practice targets outside. Do we have to be here for all of the rules and tour, or can we go," Jason repeated the question Damian asked him.

"Fine, but be down in the dinning room for dinner," Alfred told them as the boys all ran off.

"Are those rules we are to follow as well," Clint asked him.

"Those rules were made as the young masters lived here and they slowly got in trouble, depending on who's over the rules might change, but yes you have to follow them as well. Come now we have the rest of the house to see."

I know that no one has really dealt with Bruce's death and they seem to be all happy and go lucky about it, but I promise you that is not it. The bats are in this weird mind set "Business as usual" kinda mindset and it is going to be bought up and talked about I promise, but stick with me for now as we get there.
