Summary
Slade's eye flicked over him, cataloging the wrongness. Too still. He was never this still.
Dick always had restless energy to burn. He tapped his fingers, bounced his knee, shifted his weight from one foot to the other. There were times Slade had tied him up just to force him to be still.
"Come back to me, Little bird." A plea, "I’m not going to let anything happen to you." Never again. A promise

Summary
He vaults easily over the door into the bucket seat of a red ‘02 Thunderbird with its top down and hunkers low into his jacket. The pump is done running up. Dick stares at the numbers, grand total stuck halfway along its old analog ticker between one cent and the next.
Boots on concrete grit approach from the storefront blinking hot neon against the dark. Dick looks to the rearview and finds the edge of Slade’s reflection approaching, pausing to unrack the fuel nozzle and shut the cap before, tangible and right-way around again, he deposits with little ceremony a cellophane bag full of gas station sundries into Dick’s lap.
Slade opens and shuts the driver’s side door with pointed civility. He starts the engine. “Who do you think it says more about that you still have the taste of a teenager with too much allowance,” he muses with casual derision, setting the roof to close up over them given the cold drawn out past sunset, “you, or Wayne Enterprises?”
