Heyy! Sorry I kind of fell off the face of the planet for a while there..but.. I'M BACK! and ready with an all new chapter for your reading pleasure!
Okay I just wanna say that Bruce/Batman is kinda OOC in this fanfic..he's usually not this..errr. touchy about his emotions but I think Bruce is starting to realize he could lose Richard so to sum it up..DEAL. WITH. IT.
Oh and more rollercoaster emotions from Dick! Teehee how I love to torture this little bird.
Also no worries the part with the team and their reactions is coming up soon (that is if I stop adding to the plot and Daddy-Bats role)
Chapter 3- Talking
It took a whole hour to convince Dick to let Bruce into his room to talk.
A whole agonizing hour. Bruce scrubbed his hand over his face, trying not to become too frustrated by the overwhelmingly agitated teenager.
When Richard did let Bruce in, it was not a pretty sight, Richard mainly, was the source of Bruce's bewilderment. He was a disheveled mess lying in the heaps of covers layering his bed. His eyes were puffy and red, his hair askew, and his cheeks tear stained. Bruce sat on the edge of the bed rubbing slow, calculated circles into his wards back. "Sh..shh..It's going to be okay Dick."
"B-Bruce, I-I'm scared" Richard sobbed into the covers of his bed.
Bruce took pity on his son. Sure Dick had faced some of the world's worst and most notorious criminals but all of it was nothing when compared to medical procedures such as this one.
"I know Dick, it will be okay though, you'll see. But I want to tell the team, they are your friends right?" Bruce questioned softly.
Dick looked up at him "Y-Yes, but.." he began before Bruce held up a hand for him to stop.
"They will be able to help you in ways I can't, they will be there for you, I see that now" Bruce hummed quietly to his ward.
Dick's face scrunched up into a mix of sadness and thought "Okay," he began "but not right away okay? I don't want them to have to babysit me constantly" Richard decided.
"Okay, whenever you are ready then." Bruce stated as he placed a soft kiss on his son's forehead. "Now why don't you get some sleep you have a big day tomorrow"
To this Dick happily obliged, and soon he was drifting into a deep sleep, but not before saying "Thank you..Dad"
Bruce melted and stroked his sons head before replying "Anytime" and slowly leaving the room.
