Thank you for reading.
Jason and Dick
It had been a long night. Fire fly and Mr Freeze had attempted a robbery on the Gotham national. The task was classed as only a minor threat, not too serious for a league member but enough for a squad. Nightwing had taken Robin and despite the quick take down, Tim was forced to stay overnight in the league infirmary for burns.
Nightwing couldn't forget the expression on Bruce's face when he told him. Disappointment, shame, fear? Had he really let him down? And despite Tim stating that he was fine.,Batman insisted on supervising him. Nightwing just couldn't quite stomach staying with them. He felt like he was intruding.
The disheveled Grayson slumped back into his chair. Alfred had left on some late night shopping errand leaving Dick alone to study for his next college exam. He could barley concentrate never mind revise.
The day had drained him. Emotion churned in his stomach... guilt... regret.. shame? Had he really disappointed Bruce? He should've looked after Robin better.
'You look terrible.'
The familiar voice, stealthily crept up behind him.
'Just one of those nights.'
Nightwing could sense who was standing behind him, and the urge to turn round was almost overwhelming. He didn't. He couldn't.
'Doesn't look that way, what's going on?'
'I think I'm going to be on the receiving end of another Bat lecture.'
'Urrgh I hated those.'
'You never listened to them.'
Heh true, but he always meant well, I mean. He did it because he cared.'
'You should've seen his face today, I just ... It was like before in ...'
The words in his mouth were too difficult to speak so instead he swallowed them. Nightwing felt the air chill, just for a slight second.
'Don't be sorry.'
Nightwing could feel a hand on his shoulder, reassuring, comforting. But he couldn't look, it would be too painful.
'He's just tetchy right now, the pain still raw.
'He will never forgive himself.'
'Neither will you.'
'Can you blame us?'
'No but I can forgive you.'
'Why?'
Sensing that he was leaving, Dick felt compelled to turn. Try to catch a glimpse of his former partner.
But the room was empty.
He was already gone.
