Synopsis

When Batman and Dick Grayson arrive at the Batcave, Alfred informs Batman that Vicki Vale lies dying in the hospital. Batman tells Alfred to arrange with Clark Kent to have Superman retrieve Dr. Ekhart from Paris to operate. Superman retrieves the doctor. Dick asks for some clothes, causing Batman to flash back to his parents' murders. Batman leaves Dick in the cave to fend for himself for sleep and food while he goes to work. When Dick later wakes up, he finds a bacon cheeseburger and fries, courtesy of Alfred. Batman confronts Alfred about it, but Alfred tells him he is not Batman's slave.
