    Summary

    “You hate us for making you better,” Dick continues against his will. He doesn’t want to be saying this, but really, how dare Bruce be so surprised to hear it? He should understand better than any of them how defective his relationship skills are. He has no right to pretend it isn’t true now that they can all hear it aloud. “But you hate yourself more for making us worse, which is—it’s fucked up, but we’re all fucked up, and it’s—it’s only partially your fault. You secretly wish you’d never met any of us, and you’d be right about it because now we hate ourselves, too.”

    How can Bruce have the audacity to look heartbroken when he already knew all of this? Why is he pretending? Why does he keep lying?

     

    (Dick is dosed with truth serum, and the effects will take at least a day to wear off. During that time, Dick is forced to reveal and confront truths about himself that he never wanted to acknowledge. )

    Summary

    “Batman,” Dick stresses quietly, trying to telepathically convey his desperation. “Please.”

    Either it sails right over Bruce’s head, or he’s too determined to stop the violence to pass up on the help. “I understand that the two of you have a past, but personal hang-ups have no place on the field. Tarantula has intel that would take us days to acquire on our own. Unless you have a real, justifiable reason for shutting her out, we’re keeping her on the case. At least until we have the situation under control. Am I understood?”

    Biting his tongue until he tastes blood, Dick nods. 

     

    (AKA the fic where Dick is forced to deal with Tarantula again and finally confront the trauma that's been eating him alive since the assault)

    Summary

    “How much should we ask for?”

    “At least a million.”

    “I’d maybe ask the Bruce Wayne for more,” Dick finally says, cracking the tense air around them with a joke. “I’m curious how much you can get for me.”


    Dick's driving from Bludhaven to Gotham when he gets stuck in a dangerous blizzard. Thankfully, the bed and breakfast along the way seems nice and safe.

    (It's not.)
