Hey there,
Just to begin this letter I have to say that it is odd not having you there when we need advice on what to do with a mission. Dick's been doing his best to lead the Team but we can tell that the weight is crushing him well us Bats can tell anyway. I'm worried about him because he's withdrawn himself from the things that he used to do daily and getting him to smile is a mission within itself. Tim's come along well in his training and has done very well as leader of his squad, you'd be proud of both Dick and Tim for their accomplishments. I know I am.
Dick used to be so afraid of leading since that failsafe training simulation you put him and the others through years ago. Even when things get tough he pulls through and believe me I've been right there with him when not running around with Jay, patrol or missions. Yeah I've been going around with the Red Hood who has proved himself to be apart of the Team with his skills. You probably wouldn't approve because of all the fighting and tension between the two of you especially since it's always been a battle of wills between you. Babs is on edge with the decision and Jay himself when he's around and Tim's alright with it as long as Jay doesn't kill him which he won't I promise. He's not the person you fought all those months ago or was it longer... I can't keep track anymore with having to keep tabs on everything happening now with the invasion. I've been pulling shifts patrolling Gotham and Bludhaven along with missions both with the Team and Jay to keep things from pressing Dick and the others too much. And I'm grateful to Cass and Steph for coming around to help out with missions and just keeping the family together.
We all miss having you here and don't worry too much we'll be fine or at least not be too injured (I hope) when you return. I'll try to keep everybody going and take care of myself cause I know how you are with your physicals of us to see the latest scar and whatnot. Alfred's already got you beat on that though truth be told I did have a relapse a few weeks ago. No worries though it's not as bad as before and Jay's already threatened me with the usual though Dick and Tim both joined him with it. Don't blame them either. Plus I've been avoiding the Manor as much as possible... Alfred has placed a ban on the costume for a few days if he sees me...
Well be safe out there and... there's the call. Gotta go now but gotta say I miss you and love you Dad. As do the rest of my siblings Jay included even if they don't say it.
Bit of a spoiler in this but oh well.
Hope you enjoyed! Please leave a review to let me know what you think!
