    Summary

    “If I tell you to drop it, will you?”

    Tim doesn't answer right away— but Dick already knew he wouldn't. He never did.

    “...No,” Tim says finally, meeting Dick’s gaze without flinching. “You don’t get to disappear on us for a year, come back, pretend everything is fine and then expect me to just let it go. That’s not how it works.”

    “He’s right you know,” the kid says unhelpfully. Why won’t he just shut up? Why is he always here?

    Dick’s lip twitch.

    “Tim…” Dick starts, but the warning in his voice doesn't carry much weight. He’s too tired. He’s been too tired for months. Maybe years. “Some things are better left alone.”

    “Not when they’re eating you alive.” Tim’s voice drops, softer now, no less firm. “We’re not blind, you know. Jason won’t admit it but he worries. Damian keeps asking why you don't come by anymore. Even Babs—”

    “Stop.” Dick’s voice comes out sharper than he means, and Tim flinches. Just barely, but enough for Dick to notice it and feel bad. He scrubs a hand over his face, exhaling hard. “The truth hurts worse than you think. And I’m not gonna put that on you.”

    Or

    Dick's not doing good after Spyral.

    Summary

    “Dick, look at the evidence! He’s not dead—”

    “Grayson, the Pretender’s logic is not entirely without merit—”

    “You’re going to take that track, Dickhead? Going to break this family up again—”

    “I am trying to keep this family together!” Dick shouted. They all fell silent. “I am trying to keep this family together,” he repeated, his voice cracking.

    Summary

    Dick wasn’t sure when the pain had first started; it had been a constant companion for so long now that he couldn’t imagine a time without it. It just came with a life of crimefighting. The broken bones, the knives, the bullets, the shrapnel he clawed out of his skin, all of it had a way of settling in his bloodstream. It hadn’t been that alarming at first, not really. A broken ankle, that was all.

    In Tim’s completely unbiased opinion, there’s no one more suited to looking after an eight-year-old Dick Grayson than himself.
