🟢 Post-resurrection care

Alfred is, naturally, aware of the Lazarus Pit within the Batcave. And he is, likewise, aware of its purpose for being there. It is, thankfully, rarely needed - but 'rarely' does not mean 'never'. Alfred is kept away from the Pit and its workings itself, for the most part - no, his place is in the infirmary, to handle the aftermath. Even with the Pit's 'healing' there are hurts to be mended - and more than just those physical. The rest of the Family will handle things in their own way, and Alfred will assist in his way - with all the comfort, care, and coddling he can give, and eternal gratefulness that you are still with them at all to receive it. He sort of hates that abhorrent thing, but on nights like these, he's glad to have it.

Alfred has long been aware of the existence of Master Bruce's Lazarus Pit, sequestered away in the Batcave. Likewise, he has long been aware of the purpose of it. Bruce would hesitate to admit it out loud, but it is not just there to be protected, or for research - it is a contingency. A backup plan. A point of security.

It is there in case something goes wrong. And, unfortunately? Sometimes, in this family's line of work, something goes wrong.

Alfred is, generally, kept away from the Pit itself. The experience is traumatic - for both involved parties - and while he would gladly shoulder the burden for any member of his family, Bruce and Jason tend to insist on doing the 'dirty work', as it were. But, Alfred has an integral part in the process as well - preparing the infirmary for the aftermath.

Once the initial... process, is done, the family member is handed off to him. The rest of the family goes to do what they do - ensure that the ones at fault for the incident are dealt with and safely locked away (and, if Master Jason has any say, have been strongly deterred from coming near the family again) - and Alfred is left to do what he does.

Provide care. Comfort. Support. Medical treatment for lingering wounds of course, but also - death and resurrection is a trauma. A trauma in a lifestyle that provides a long string of traumas. If this is the one trauma that results in Alfred being allowed - nay, expected - to coddle and care and protect one of those dearest to him, well, he will be ever grateful for the chance to do so, knowing how close the family had come to losing them.

There but for a Pit of abhorrent magic, hm?

Thankfully, instances of things going that wrong are few and far between. Unfortunately? Tonight is one of those rare, horrid nights. He's received the call he hopes to never get, and by the time the infirmary is needed, he has it ready to usher them in, settle them on a bed. "Lie still, dear one, rest a moment. You're home, and safe," he assures, soothingly.
