   Summary

   Being a detective means noticing all the clues present. But being a great detective means noticing everything that’s absent, too.

   Damian Wayne is the only biological son of the world’s greatest detective.

   So how is it that he hasn’t even noticed how much of his brother is gone?

   Aka, Dick returns home three weeks after Slade takes him in an attempt to make him the perfect soldier. He claims he’s fine. He's home now, isn't he? But when little fragments slip out, small slices of Dick’s broken heart, his brothers realize that sometimes, people just shatter and the pieces just can't all be picked back up.
