❝   WHAT IF THEY CATCH YOU?   ❞  

an endearing gaze meets dawn.  it’s sympathetic,  mostly,  as this wasn’t the best possible news he could’ve given to her.   a sleepless night, filled with tossing  &  turning around in bed should have been enough for him to make a decision on the matter,  yet nothing came of it.   ❝   i know i said i was done with gotham,  at least i thought i was,  but what if this something i have to do?   ❞   it’s the least he owes...  him,  the least he owes bruce for everything, right?   for given him a place to call home after haly’s circus, and for a rather different and chaotic pretense of a family,  which was still a family in the end.

his hand grazes the wet strands of darkened hair,  pushing them backwards.    ❝   i'd just be going as me,  just dick.   ❞   nothing would make him take up the mantle of robin again.   he was past those nights of roaming through rooftops   &   streets as a vigilante;  he was now dick grayson : [ husband. father. detective. ]  and not one thing in this world would make him risk losing those titles.   this was his after, the ending he fought so hard for.   but now doubt has set in,  leaving him restless.   ❝   maybe you’re right,  i should let this go.   ❞

i was thinking that i’d be a little lost without you here.

you were having a bad dream.

i never thought i’d need anyone again, but i need you. is that okay?

find something warm, though. you’re going to need it.

this is going to sting a little.

am i dead or do i just feel like it?

if it scares you, it scares you. that’s pretty simple.

i’m going to bed. you go to bed, too.

the problem is that guns are easy. any idiot can use one and any idiot can feel tough with one.

it’s five thirty in the morning.

killing isn’t hard. it only takes a second. it’s what comes after that’s hard.

sorry for running out like a stupid child and causing everybody to worry.

take another breath. let it all out.

you forgot to eat lunch again.

that’s it, we’re going to the hospital.

the people you expected to do the bad thing did the bad thing.

sorry i made you come out there and have to save me.

scary stuff.

you were in bad shape.

it’s a tough time, these holidays.

when you call me son, i almost believe it.

this is all so unreal.

that’s going to eat at me for the rest of the day.

you’re in a world of trouble and that’s what you need to be worried about.

to tell the truth, i’m scared.

my fingers hurt.

don’t worry about that now. let’s just get home.

i’ve got bad news.

it’s okay to love something bigger than yourself without fearing it. anything worth loving is bigger than we are anyway.

you’ll slow me down and i’ll be worrying about you.

people live, people die. people split up, people stay together and make each other miserable.

have at it, buckaroo.

put your butt in a chair.

i trust him about as much as i trust any white man with a gun.

makes as much sense as anything.

go grab yourself some lunch.

a little dizzy, queasy all of a sudden.

in other words, get it your damn self.

not bad? whatever happened to “great” or “good”?

you don’t want to understand. you won’t try to understand.

  * –––  KAILA .

@pastson.  ( kaila & ) dick.

           “Whatever it is? I didn’t do it – I’m tired now, goodnight - “ Kaila attempts to shut the door to no avail, of course he’s quick enough to prevent the blow-off. It causes Kaila to roll her eyes as dramatically as she can manage. She’s not lying, she’s exhausted – could it be because one of her alters was up to no good? She’d never know. She’ll have to follow the trail of bread crumbs, so to speak, right along with his cute detective ass. 

this wasn’t exactly the first  plan that came to his mind, nor was it the second either;  yet here he stands,  firm hand taking hold of the front door.   [  then again,  this wasn’t the warm welcoming he was expecting  ]   ❝   i don’t know about you,  but when people don’t reply to phone calls or text messages,  people tend to get...    ❞   a silence lingers for a brief moment,   ❝    concerned.   ❞   he’s careful with the word he chooses to speak,  but in the end it still solicits the same sentiment.   at least he hopes so.   dick’s hand pulls away from holding back the door frame  &  meets with the back of his pocket.   ❝   will you let me inside?   ❞

Dick casually calling Bruce his dad, I’m :’)

[pastson]

“ i’m just trying to get used to the idea of being replaced. ”  to bruce; you weren’t the perfect father but that’s okay because,  probably nobody’s a perfect father.  no family’s perfect, either. i was lucky. i was privileged. not because of the big house and the money,  but because you gave me a lot of yourself.  you taught me,  you showed me,  you encouraged me    ––––  you never lied to me and you never demanded that i be anything i’m not. i didn’t imitate you because you insisted that i do so,  but because i wanted to.  of all the men i knew,  you were most worthy of imitation.  then i blamed you for letting me be who i was.

things i am not ready for:  dick reuniting with bruce... what in the heck is their dynamic going to be like? bruce in general? how are they going to portray him? jason possibly becoming red hood this season (i doubt it will be this early, but you never really know). where the heck was gar in the season two trailer? raven and trigon? deathstroke? everything?

❝   HERE’S A TIP, STOP HIDING BEHIND EXCUSES EACH TIME SOMEONE IS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.   ❞                                                      

perhaps bruce and he were     more alike than he’d like to accept.   avoidance was a personality trait both men shared   &   it was something dick had seen far too many times from a special few close to him, especially from bruce.  he knows what it can feel like,  to be on the other side of not knowing the matters going on in another person’s life.   even when you’re living under the same roof.   [ it’s a lot easier this way,  he thinks,  both parties end up…  perfectly well. ]   all he could manage was a half-smile,  gaze not fully on barbara.   it’s tough to be dismissive with her.   he cleared his throat before speaking,    ❝   really,  everything is fine.  just… fine.   ❞
