There's a flurry of movement in Dick's vision, and the thug who blindsided him is down.
And that's how he meets the new Robin.
He wants to lash out at him for replacing him, but he can't, because it isn't really the kid's fault.
He's pissed at Bruce, but what's new.
The kid's name is Jason, and he is pretty excited about being a vigilante, and Dick really doesn't want to burst his bubble, so he stays quiet.
And surely, Alfred would've warned him like he did Dick.
Jason is fun to be around, he learns soon. He is a bit cocky, and overconfident at times, and he bullshits a lot, but Dick likes that about him.
And he treats Dick like royalty, which helps.
Jason is great at beating down baddies, which is no surprise, and they work well together, which Dick reluctantly admits to himself that he had missed, being part of a team.
He is a great partner, and Dick slowly feels resentment give way to acceptance, and thinks of Jason not as a replacement of him, but as Robin, the boy wonder, and as Jason, the boy who has wormed his way into his heart.
And surely, there's another costume he can wear, another name he can be.
