dick likes being reminded how much smaller, how much younger he is than slade. he pretends he doesn’t like the nicknames, the endearments-

the little bird, the kid.

it feels good to stand next to slade, having to look up at him when he talks. it feels like standing next to bruce, back when he was robin, safe and protected.

dick knows better than to trust slade.

but he wants to, so so badly.

sometimes he thinks it‘s like staring down unto gotham‘s streets from one of the innumerable rooftops and thinking about what it would feel like to fall, without any safety net, without any gadget to save himself.

he likes to think it would be like flying.

weightlessness, until the impact.

Tim: *complaining to Kon* Dick is always going on about how romantic his secret lover is. Why can’t you do something romantic too?

Kon, who heard his other Dad Luthor complaining about Deathstroke taking out people who put out hits on Nightwing: YOU WANT ME TO COMMIT GENOCIDE?!

"I had nowhere else to go" murmured the Hero surrounded by loving friends and family they could have run to but who secretly craved only one pair of hands to hold them. Their voice was strained with guilt.

"I had nowhere else to go" admitted the Hero whose inner circle never felt quite right for them, leaving them yearning in secret for the only one with whom, between their arms, they fitted perfectly. Their sigh was one of pained relief.

Slade: *crashing through the window* Dick: WHAT?!! Slade: I heard your fake father/uncle killed for you. Dick: WHO?! Wait-OWLMAN?! HE'S BACK?!! Slade: *strangling Dick* I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S ALLOWED TO KILL FOR YOU! Dick: WHAT THE FUCK?!

See this is where Slade had the opportunity to clap back with something crazy like “ok well your son calls me daddy so what now?”

A Transaction *Deathstroke and Nightwing fighting* Slade: Let's get married. Dick: *stops* what? Slade: Let's get married. Dick: why? Slade: For tax benefits. Dick: No, really, why? Slade: Because. Dick: *annoyed* No. We're not getting married. Slade: Why. Dick: Because you're just going to imprison me! This is just another plot of yours to lock me up somewhere! Slade: Let me make this clear. Either I'm going to marry you and imprison you or I'm just going to imprison you. Your choice. Dick: Dick: ...I want a ring. Slade: Fine. Dick: *pouting* The biggest. Slade: *smirking* Done.

Apprentice!Dick shows up in our "normal/standard/regular" DC universe and everyone (batfam, titans, whoever) is shocked and upset by his physical and mental state. Everyone is assuming it is dimension travel and wants to try to help him get back to his dimension, while also kicking Deathstroke's ass to get Dick out of this situation. However, our Dick recognizes that it is Not, in fact, dimension travel, but rather time travel, and he just never let anyone know that the apprentice trauma had happened to him. Our Dick Grayson goes along with everyone else's reactions while trying to hide that he went through this and never let anyone find out.

They can never have a civil agreement

Slade n his not suicidal no issues at all partner <3

of course the antagonist written specifically for dick grayson (slade) is an emotionally stunted father figure but evil. marv wolfman u have made some questionable choices but u were so right about this one i think. anyway slade and dick should get even freakier about it <3
