Title: Powers of Utterance
Fandom: The Dark Knight
Characters: Alfred, Bruce.
Summary: The Batman's voice just isn't made for prolonged conversations.

Word count: 554 words.
Disclaimer: Not mine! Oh no, no no.
Notes: I am currently nursing a sore throat (with brandy, naturally) and can only make croaky sounds. The only logical thing to do was to write fic in which I ponder the consequences of the Bat!voice in great philosophical detail. The title is from Edgar Allan Poe's story Loss of Breath.
He can’t tell Bruce to stop being Batman for the sake of his health, can he now?
