y'all wanna talk about dick's mental illnesses that he hides so well from everyone but bruce or uhhhhhh

[bcywonder]

somehow, despite the strain and the fight, dick manages a scandalised gasp. it's probably the performance training, if he's being perfectly honest. ❛ how dare you! ❜ as though to prove his point, dick uses the extra cover to perform a flip that, by all metrics, should not be possible in the space they're in. and yet! ❛ keep up! you've gotta catch up kiddo! ❜

tim  dropped  down  into  the  fight ,  bo staff  already  swinging  to  take  out  a  few  of  the  goons  scattered  around.  🙶 oh ,  you  know.  i  was  in  the  neighborhood ,  thought  i'd  just  stop  by  and   check  in  on  the  elderly  🙷  the  smile  was  both  extremely�� genuine  and  extremely  teasing  as  he  made  his  way  over  to  nightwing ,  positioning  himself  to  guard  his  brother's  blind spot.  🙶 real  question  is  can  you  keep  up ? 🙷

❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜

❛ stop changing the subject. ❜

❛ every day i fight, i fight for all of us. ❜

❛ what are you doing? what is wrong? ❜

❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜

❛ you may be in grave danger. there is no time to explain.❜

❛ we can make our own way. please, come with me. ❜

❛ don't even talk to me about this because i won't remember.❜

❛ i am not your husband. at least not the one you know. i am another version of him from another life path, another universe. ❜

❛ i’m here because we need your help.❜

❛ sorry, very busy today. no time to help you– ❜

❛ all those years of searching have brought me here. to this universe. to you. ❜

❛ i’m here to tell you every rejection, every disappointment has led you here. to this moment. ❜

❛ i'm not ready to fight yet. ❜

❛ maybe we don't have a choice. ❜

❛ now, you can either come with me and live up to your ultimate potential, or lie here and live with the consequences. ❜

❛ i... want to lie here. ❜

❛ how often do people literally die laughing? ❜

❛ my husband won't even kill a spider. how are you the same person? ❜

❛ we are talking about infinity. if you can imagine it, somewhere out there, it exists. ❜

❛ how did i die? ❜

❛ i've seen you die a thousand ways. in a thousand worlds. in every single one, you were murdered. ❜

❛ what!? who wants me dead? ❜

❛ you’ve been feeling it too, haven’t you? something is off. your clothes never wear as well the next day, your hair never falls in quite the same way, even your coffee tastes... wrong. ❜

❛ maybe we would have been better off if we had never gotten married. ❜

❛ i never said that. ❜

❛ you didn’t have to. it’s the way you look at me. ❜

❛ can’t you see it? how wonderful it would be if you came with me? ❜

❛ i saw my life without you. i wish you could have seen it. it was beautiful. ❜

❛ shhh, you're not thinking straight. ❜

❛ what is worse than death? ❜

❛ i saw your face on a billboard and — this is silly — i wondered if you remembered me... ❜

❛ is it that i can’t be here, or that i’m not allowed to be here? ❜

❛ there is no good, there is no evil. there is only “goovil”. ❜

❛ if you can imagine it, you have fucked it. ❜

❛ do not be so closed minded that you blind yourself from the truth! ❜

❛ don’t make me fight you. i am really really good. ❜

❛ you're capable of anything because you're so bad at everything. ❜

❛ you can't remember anything because your bodies were under the control of other universes. ❜

❛ you were like puppets. and you could do things you normally can't do. you were like, what's that movie... raccaccoonie? ❜

❛ how can you defeat her in every universe, if you can't even kill her in one? ❜

❛ the sacrifices necessary to win this war... i know all too well. ❜

❛ i cannot lose another loved one to the darkness. ❜

❛ i know you have feelings. feelings that make you so sad. that make you just want to give up. that is not your fault. ❜

❛ i'll see you again soon, somewhere out there in all that noise. ❜

❛ just think happy thoughts. ❜

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜

❛ i'm the one you've been looking for. ❜

❛ i’m the one who will defeat you. ❜

❛ you’re finally free, like me. ❜

❛ you don't have to choose anymore. between loving me or hating me. you can do both at the same time. ❜

❛ before, you were asking about "our daughter". it's crazy, but it really got me thinking. what if you had come with me all of those years ago? ❜

❛ all of this time, i wasn't looking for someone who could defeat me. i was looking for someone who could see what i see, feel what i feel... ❜

❛ oh, good, you're here too. ❜

❛ i'm sorry about ruining everything, i– ❜

❛ we're all stupid. small stupid little humans. it's like our whole deal. ❜

❛ everything is going to be okay. ❜

❛ you think i’m weak don’t you? ❜

❛ when we first fell in love all of those years ago, your father would say i was too sweet for my own good. maybe he was right. ❜

❛ please! can we just stop fighting! ❜

❛ you tell me that it's a cruel world and we're all just running around in circles. i know that. i've been on this earth just as many days as you. ❜

❛ the only thing i do know is we have to be kind. be kind. especially, when we don't know what's going on. ❜

❛ i know you go through life with your fists held tight. you see yourself as a fighter. well, i see myself as one too. this is how i fight. ❜

❛ in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you. ❜

❛ you know what i say? cold, hysterical, unlovable bitches like us make the world go round. ❜

❛ you aren’t unlovable. there is always something to love. ❜

❛ even in a stupid, stupid universe where we have hot dogs for fingers, we’d all be very good with our feet! ❜

❛ in a universe where we both agree that no one could love you, if we look hard enough, something will prove us wrong. ❜

❛ we are all useless alone. so its good you're not alone. ❜

❛ maybe you win in this universe. but in another, i beat you. or we tie. or we eat crepes. ❜

❛ i don't want to hurt anymore. and for some reason when i'm with you, it hurts both of us. ❜

❛ out of all of the places i could be, why would i want to be here with you? ❜

❛ i still want to be here with you. i will always want to be here with you. ❜

❛ i will cherish these few specks of time. ❜

@identitysolved | call !!

❛ i don't remember calling the cavalry, ❜ through the fight, dick flashes a grin at rook, head cocked like a very excited dog. he's been at it for the better part of ten minutes, and while the time frame doesn't seem monumental, the fight feels it, and dick knows he's starting to flag. it means he's not even vaguely insulted to see the a little brother appear in the fray. ❛ hope those young legs are ready to go to work! ❜

[bcywonder]

he has no concept of self, for a long stretch. he hears shattering bones and he feels blood on his hands, he doesn't know which way is up and which is down. he hears a word through glass, through sand, from a thousand miles away, and then --

“ Nightwing! ”

he comes back to himself with a jolt, fingers curling against concrete. dick rises to his feet with an almost inhumane grace to him, spine straight, a soldier in waiting. no further orders come, and dick draws a breath until his vision starts to even out, no longer blurred. bruce is -- no, batman. batman is curved and dick can't understand why.

❛ batman? ❜ he sounds young, achingly so, and dick has nowhere to go from here. ❛ what - ❜

The concrete on his back lets him know they’re alive even if the rest of him seems to complain at the impact. A little jostled. A burning ache across muscle and bone. A lot of burning in the lungs that even the bare intake of breath is almost a gasp. 

And then a coughing fit. 

And then the painful process repeats itself all over again as he forced himself up. Coughing into his arm until he could feel somewhat more in line with all the familiar aches and burns that he was used to. 

THE BATMAN was practically a stick figure made of popsicle sticks and pva glue. 

[ ₁ ] Held on together by sheer stubborn will.

“ Dick – “ His voice scratched against his throat. Forcing himself to look up, see through the blur for the shape of his boy. “ Nightwing! ” He growled, unable to hide the slight panic, the desperation in his voice as it gets louder. 

[bcywonder]

when he speaks it's...instinctive. not even a cry for help, particularly, just a statement of fact. time slows down and his grapple waves uselessly in the wind, mocking him, and dick is in free fall. he's used to feeling weightless, when he flies through the air - he's never felt like this, never felt the relentless pull of gravity on his bones like he feels it now, dragging him towards the pavement in a way that makes him feel dizzy.

and then, abruptly, the fall is stopped. instead he's enveloped in god knows how many pounds of muscle and kevlar, going upwards instead of down, hitting a different sort of concrete with a fraction of the velocity that would have let him smeared across the street.

dick is normally the first to break the tension - to quip, to make a joke and hope everything will feel alright. he can't seem to manage it this time. he's got wide eyes fixed on batman behind a domino mask that's doing nothing to hide his expression. he draws a shaking breath, says ❛ b, i -- ❜ and doesn't make it any further before he's sinking to his knees.

i think i’m falling

Heart skips. And all of his training seems to disappear for a nanosecond of panic that takes over. But it’s instinct. 

     [ ₁ ] It’s his boy. 

And whatever sense of human failing exists in his mortal hand dissipates as THE BATMAN takes over. And he leaps without hesitation, piercing through air and space to gain momentum, defying logic and maybe even physics to catch his son. Arm practically a vice keeping his weight against him as his other arm aimed the grapple gun in his hand and pulled the trigger. 

     [ ₂ ] Wooooooossshhhhh.       [ ₃ ] Claaaaaacckkkkk!

And the claw bites down on a purchase to swing them onto the closest roof top. Letting @bcywonder go with a thud as they landed haphazardly. A few scratches but alive. 

[bcywonder]

I'm worried about you.

❛ watch it, old man. you're getting alarmingly close to pot-kettle-black territory. ❜ dick's sprawled out on the couch in bruce's office, and has been doing his best impression of someone definitely not falling asleep for the better part of an hour. it's honestly fine. he is fine. he's just...tired. between college, work, and nightwing, he's got a lot on his plate.

he's also determined. he's not asking for help - he doesn't need it. stubbornly, dick shifts a little against the leather and tries to force his eyes to be more open. it's a losing game, really, but he's trying. ❛ i'll be good to go for patrol, honest. ❜

Dick remembered a word to say when people are yelling!! man, I wonder where he learned that...

He does get very upset when he learns it's bad to say,, Bruce isn't mad of course he thinks it's hilarious

[bcywonder]

I hc Dick will be non-verbal for a bit when Bruce first adopts him
