"It's looks as if we have guests" Alfred smiled and pulled the limo toward the garage. He parked it and adjusted his hat before getting out and opening the door for Dick and Bruce "Master Grayson, I think it might be prudent for us to retire to the estate."

The sight of Superman standing in front of his house was a surprise, but nothing more. He didn't know the man, but what he'd heard he'd liked, and he'd hoped that at some point he'd be able to speak to him, if not as Bruce then as Batman. Tony, on the other hand, was a very unwelcome sight, and he couldn't quite hide the irritation he felt at the sight of him. Try as he might, Bruce couldn't entirely get rid of the old animosity he felt toward Stark.
"Yes, Alfred, I think that'd be a good idea. I'll invite our guests into the house."
Bracing himself, Bruce left the car and walked through the house to open the front door. Up close, seeing both Tony Stark and Superman standing on his front porch was an even stranger sight than it had been from a distance.
"Gentlemen. It looks like I got home just in time. Won't you come in?"

Tony gestured for Superman to go first.
"After you, big guy."

Clark turned his head again without a smile and slowly started making his way toward the front door, cape billowing gently in the breeze.

Alfred quickly gathered up all of young Master Richards belongings and tapped him gently on the back with his elbow to get him moving.

Dick had a sinking feeling that Alfred pushing him out of the way of Bruce's business, was going to be a reoccurring theme in his time at Wayne Manor. "I'm moving Mr. Pennyworth-"

"Oh dear Master Richard, again please just Alfred."

"Dear Alfred, again please call me Dick" he smiled and took one look back behind them as Alfred took Dick on an entirely different path in to the house. He watched as Bruce disappeared through the front door, standing shoulder to shoulder with men whose job it is to keep the world safe.
He wondered just how much Mr. Wayne was hiding.

"Fine" Alfred smiled "Master Dick, I know that-" he paused "-you've had quite the day and want nothing more than to shower and hide in bed, but please allow me to show you the gardens before we retired to the estate. It's ever so dreary inside you see-"

"Hey, hey, hey it's cool man" he tried to give his best fake smile "I like flowers."

Alfred smiled, he reminded him so much of Bruce when he was young only less- eloquent. When Master Wayne had been a boy he was fairly stoic, much like he is now, but somehow it was worse then. Alfred figured it was because he was a child that his emotions were so easy to read, now, the man could be grinning with a gun shot wound.

Bruce closed the large oak doors behind them, leaving them with a sad echo of the outside reverberating off the walls "I don't entertain as uh much these days gentlemen so you'll have to forgive the unsettling emptiness the manor has taken on. Hopefully with our new resident we'll be hearing laughter very soon, wont you come in to the sitting room?"
His mind was racing, attempting to connect the dots.
It came quickly as he followed them in to the sitting room "I imagine- at least one of you is here to speak to me about Ms. Cartwright?"

Clark looked to Tony, who once again gave him that Well go on look, to which he was not amused by. He turned back to Bruce with a nod "Unfortunately yes Mr. Wayne, I'm actually here at the bequest of Captain Steven Rogers of the United States Military."
Was that too formal? He makes me want to be formal.

"Bequest of-" he raised his hands up in a stop gesture with a smile "I imagine only Captain Rogers would introduce himself as such around here we just call him Captain America. And, it's behest."
It was interesting however that he'd be here not on his own but at the will of someone else. Steven Rogers was a meta human much like many of the people he knew, but unlike many of them he was manufactured that way.
His strength and endurance are no match for the power of the last son of Krypton, none of theirs was. The only man living or not that could match him was Dr. Manhattan and if he was alive he wasn't coming back here.

"I apologize, sometimes formality gets away from me" somehow his face stayed the same, none of the warmth of happiness that he usually eluded; this was business. He could feel Tony wanting to say something behind him, but Clark just spoke through him. "As you know your ex and Mr. Starks' current murdered two people in New York at the Met. One of which was her brother, would it be safe to assume you knew him?"
