Summary
Bruce buried his fingers in Dick’s hair, holding him, intent on never letting him go. Dick won’t die. Bruce was never going to let Dick die before him. He would cover his son entirely with his body, shelter him, open up his own chest so he could place Dick in there and keep him safe within his armour. Death was going to have to tear through Bruce’s chest if She wanted to drag his son out of the cavity where Bruce’s heart beat. Dick was not going to die.

“Dick, are you alright?” Bruce’s voice was concerned now, but Dick didn’t have the willpower to hang up. He couldn’t look down but he knew he was losing blood, so much blood. He didn’t want to do this alone, if it came to it.
