After picking up Barbara from their apartment, Damian and Cass from school, and forcing Tim and Stephanie out of their Wayne Enterprises meeting, they were all seated in the living room at Wayne Manor waiting for Jason to show up.
"Grayson, stop stalling and tell us what's going on" Damian snapped.
"Not with out Jason."
"Dick, what's going on?" Tim pleaded.
"Wait for Jason."
"Dick…" Tim was interrupted by the front door opening.
"What's going on Dickie-bird? And why is everyone here?" Jason asked bitterly.
"Sit down Jay. I have something to tell everyone." Dick took a deep breath to prepare himself.
"Spit it out" Jason ground out.
"Bruce is dead" Dick spit out.
Everyone froze in shock.
"He was killed outside of Wayne Enterprises today. Shot by a sniper. There was nothing anyone could have done. Not even Batman could have survived that." Dick continued.
"No. That's not possible. Father can't be dead" Damian said in disbelief.
"I'm sorry Dami. I'm so so sorry." Dick answered, hugging Damian to his side.
"No." Damian resisted against Dick's hug. "You're wrong. He's not dead. He can't be dead. I just met him. Please. Tell me you're lying. Please tell me it's a joke." Damian sobbed against Dick's chest.
"I'm so sorry Damian. He's dead."
