    Summary

    "No, I just thought I'd never have to face the reality of this. My worst nightmare as a kid has come to life is. . ." his throat begins to tighten, his words becoming strained. "I’ve always known what I'd do if anything were to ever happen to Bruce, I thought of every contingency plan a-and route, and when I took on the role as Nightwing I could act as if everything was in place and never have to think about it and yet. . ."

    Dick's eyes dart over to the grave, but quickly come back. A searing pain strikes through his chest and renders all his senses wild. "I don't know what to do now, Alfred."

    Bruce Wayne dies and Dick is left to mend the pieces of his absence in the only way he knows how.
