Summary
Ollie comes back with the sensation of bursting above the water, sound that was pleasantly dim before hitting him in full force. There’s Wonder Woman hugging that kid of hers, next to him, more similar pairs around. There’s the chatter of I missed you’s and good job’s through the cave they’re in.
His eyes land on Roy, standing warily apart from the crowd, and his blood goes cold.
***
The Antithesis mind controlled the Justice League, forcing them to do things they never would ordinarily.
It went a little further with Oliver.

Summary
Blood tests are normal. If you twist it enough, so is Dick lying on a medical cot, staring up at fluorescent lights while Bruce comforts him. This is all normal, an ordinary patrol aftermath.
It doesn’t feel normal.

He also gets friends, but he doesn’t know if he can call them that after everything he’s done.

Summary
And suddenly there was hot, cloying shame flooding his system. Dick, all of nineteen years old, sat on Superman’s couch and tried not to cry as his throat went tight and his whole face heated up.
Clark gave a small sigh. “Dick,” he said, “It’s perfectly natural to have a crush.”
***
Dick does not have a crush.

Summary
It occurs to Dick, as he mounts over the man in front of him, that his conditioning runs deep.
It’s not that he’s here, with Bruce. Dick’s love for him is anything but conditioned- it was pleadingly discouraged, constantly rebuffed, forced to be proven over and over again. Dick’s love for Bruce is in his bones.
The fact that they’re grinding their crotches together is more debatable.
