Summary
He’s just begun to fruitlessly pick at his hair when there’s a bang, harsh and loud, and he ducks, dropping his comb. The second one makes him tuck and roll out of the room, reaching for a weapon. He’s got his hand on a loose wingding when there comes a harsh hiss. Water under a lot of pressure cracking off of tile. Dick creaks up into a crouch, poking his head around the doorframe, staying low. His shower is suddenly working again, water hammering into the stall and sluicing out onto the floor. His drain, never very functional, appears to have given up entirely.
It takes him half the wall to find the damn pipes and turn the water off, the shower blasting like a machine gun the whole time. For a moment there’s quiet, just water dripping. His phone rings where he left it on the counter, jumping with the vibration. BRUCE, it reads. Dick answers.
“You will not fucking believe the morning I am having,” Dick says. “Everything happens to me. I’ve told you about my landlord, right?”
“Dick,” Bruce says. Something in his voice makes the hair on the back of Dick’s neck rise.
