Y/N's POV:

I arrive at the cave after Bane's attack, searching for Alfred

Y/N: Alfred?! Alfred?!

I see Alfred underneath some debris

Y/N: No, no, no please

I remove the debris that are on him and get him out

Y/N: Alfred...you can't.

Alfred: Don't add me to the weight you carry.

He closes his eyes and I recall everything that has happened to me

He closes his eyes and I recall everything that has happened to me. My parents, the trauma and more. 

I can't let him die...not after everything he's done for me

In a fit of rage, I punch the ground and sparkles come out of my shock gloves

I then remember what Electrocutioner told me

"I'm-a kill you. Then, I'm-a jumpstart your heart"

I activate the shock gloves and use them as a defribilator on Alfred

Y/N: Come on, damnit.

I manage to save him and take him to the med bay

I take off my mask and stand in front of the computer

Bane took Kate and I almost lost Alfred

I almost lost my best friend tonight

I almost lost the man that looked after me since I was a baby

I almost lost my father

I hug him with tears in my eyes 

After that, Lucky comes running towards me

He must have been hiding when Bane attacked

I pet him

Y/N: There you are buddy. Sorry I wasn't here.

Alfred: I know I haven't always been supportive of what you do, but I understand now. Go. They need you out there. Kate needs you.

Y/N: I can't defend New York. I can't even defend my own home.

Alfred: Now is not the time for doubt.

Y/N: I can't do it. I can't stop them.

Alfred: No. You can't...not on your own. But it's high time you realize that you're a man not an island. And a man's strength comes not from just brawn and intelligence but also from his allies.

He then turns on the police scanner

Scanner: Priority one alert: The Joker has escaped from his call and is leading the riots at Blackgate. Repeat: The Joker has taken over the entire prison. Multiple casualties, hostages, civilians and prison guards. Again, we have lost Rikers. Captain Gordon is calling on anyone, anyone for assistance.
