“There are a few rules you need to follow while you’re in my custody,” Al began, blue eyes serious for once. “You seem pretty smart, but even smart people make stupid mistakes.” Arthur nodded, trapped in Alfred’s gaze. “The most important rule ever is that you can’t talk to anyone from your old life. At all. I only know what I know about the Vargas’s through case files and hearsay, since their reach doesn’t quite make it down here, but they’re sure to be looking for ya. Carriedo was a big part of their operation, I’ve been told, and he’s a very old friend of both of the new bosses. They may not sniff the old you out right away, but they’ll definitely find you, and then your friends. The fewer people up in New York who know where you are, the safer you’ll be.” He reached forward and gripped Arthur’s shoulders to hold his attention. “You got it?”
Arthur stared up at him with slightly wide eyes, nodding slightly. Then Alfred grinned widely, and-
-Brown grass and a black sky, swirling silver and a white smile-
He shook his head to ban the images flashing by from his thoughts. “Yes, yes, I understand,” he said, brushing off Al’s hands and standing up, turning to the desk and spending too much time retrieving his folder. “Can I go to sleep now?”
Alfred gave him a curious look when he turned back around, but shrugged and opened the office door for Arthur.
