Y/n's POV:

I can't believe it. 

Time has truly flown by. You never really realize how fast time goes until your birthday comes up right around the corner. That's happening to me! It feels like just yesterday I turned 7 & was adopted by Bruce but here I am, turning 12 in less than 24 hours!

For some reason it just feels so surreal. It feels like just a day ago I was warmly welcomed into the manner with a huge hug from all of the boys. But now, almost all of the boys are out of town on mission leaving me in the manor alone. On my birthday. 

I huff at the unfortunate events but make my way out of bed as I have been laying down, daydreaming of the past few years. Brushing my teeth & hair, along with all the other necessities I make my way to the bottom of the stairs to find a note on the kitchen counter. It read, 

'Y/n,

As much as I hate to leave you alone in the Manor on your birthday, I am currently out helping your family with very urgent matters. In the fridge is Breakfast & Lunch already cooked, just waiting to be heated up. 

However, do not go to Mount Justice as we were just informed it's under construction. 

- Alfred Pennyworth'

I sigh before grabbing f/f out of the fridge & putting it into the microwave at instructed by Alfred. I let out a long sigh before muttering,

"Well, today could not go any worse."

~MINI TIME SKIP~

Oh how I was wrong. Everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong. Since none of my family is here at all, I tried to call my friends. Bart, Jamie, Gar, M'gann, anybody but none of them answered. 

At this point I don't think I can call this a birthday. I look at the clock & it reads '5:30 p.m.', causing me to close my eyes. 

"Happy birthday to me, I guess."

"I must say Happy Birthday before everyone else Miss," A voice says, erupting the silence.

I turn my head to Alfred but turn back around just as quick, putting my head in my arms on the counter. Before I can drift off or even tune everything out, a hand is placed on my shoulder causing me to glance up at him. 

"Do follow me Miss," Alfred says, starting to walk to the batcave.

I slowly follow him, curious as to what he has planned. The only thing I can think of is that he wants me to patrol since everyone else is out of town or on missions. I watch him as he continues to walk through the batcave, making his way to the bottom floor with me continuing to follow slowly. I watch as he finally stops, but he stopped in front of the zeta tube. Confused, I tilt my head as I finally reached the zeta tube to find that he put in the coordinates for Mount Justice. 

"But you sai-" I get cut off.

"Just walk through Miss Y/n," He retorts, a smile on his face. 

I stare at him confused before making my way to the inside of the zeta tube. As it announces my name I feel this rush of energy, causing my vision to go blurry & dizziness to appear. One would think that after so many years of using the zeta tubes you would be used to it but it's the exact opposite. I'd rather ride my bike than use these things, it makes me nauseous every single time. 

Finally feeling the sensation go away, I open my eyes only to see the cave is pitch black. I groan at the lack of light before reaching for my phone in my back pocket. Once I grab my phone, Alfred Zeta's in behind me causing a squeal to release from my lips. 

"Gosh Alfred. Don't scare me like that!" I state, throwing my hands up in the air. 

"Sorry Miss Y/n, it was not my intention to scare you," Alfred chuckles, turning on his own light. 

I give Alfred a pout before walking further into the cave, now that I can see where I'm going. As we travel further into the cave we come across the kitchen. The second I get up to it, the lights turn on & a crowd of people are shouting happy birthday. Having not expecting any of it, I squeal at the sudden jump scare, causing everyone to laugh. 

"Happy birthday N/n!" Bart exclaims, running up to me before picking me up, twirling us around before setting me down. 

"Thanks. Now as much as I love all of this, why didn't at least one of you keep me company for the day?" I ask, only receiving silence. 

"It was Dick's idea!" Someone shouts.

"NO IT WASN'T!" He retorts instantly. 

"Then why weren't you at home with her?" Jason questions.

"You're her brother too! Why weren't you there? I told one of you to stay there with her!" Dick exclaims, throwing his hands in the air. 

"I don't think any of us understood that from your frantic essay you spat out in a minute this morning Dick," Tim says.

"You know what? Let's just have cake! I don't know about y'all but I'm craving some good cake right now!" I say, pushing through the crowd & grabbing a slice of cake. 

Taking a piece of the cake on my fork, I take a bite & hum in satisfaction. Everyone just stares at me like someone's dog just died before gathering around & singing the 'happy birthday' song while I eat my piece of cake in delight. 

Not paying attention to anyone but my cake, I don't notice that someone had set another piece on my now empty plate. Looking up I come face to face with Bart smiling at me like the idiot he is. Before I can even say anything he reached his hand over & wipes a piece of frosting of my face with his thumb causing me blush like a tomato. 

"Happy Birthday Y/n," Bart says, giving me his sweetest smile. 

If I could die from how hot & red my face is, I would have been dead the second I made contact with Bart's eyes. I try to form words but all that comes out is stuttering that couldn't even be considered as half of a sentence. 

He laughs at my attempt to make conversation before nodding his head as if he understood everything that I just said. 

"Well I believe it's present time, so let's go!" He exclaims, taking my hand before pulling me to where everyone is waiting. 

I laugh at his antics before running next to him with a wide smile on my face. I know I said that this was the worst birthday ever but the minute everything clicked,

it turned out to be the best birthday I've ever had.
