Summary
Tim is mad at Dick. No, scratch that. He's furious. The guy faked his own death, after all. And then he lied. For nearly a year, he didn’t say a damn thing. Not a peep, not a syllable, not the slightest utterance, his family as dead to him as he was to them.
Tim decided he wouldn't forgive Dick after that, but… well…
It's hard to be mad at the guy who's crying on the floor.

Summary
“If you didn’t die, then I didn’t die,” Stephanie says, suddenly and quietly.
Now, Dick turns his body fully to face her. His knee touches hers. He reaches a hand out toward her shoulder, but doesn’t move that final inch.
She shifts so his hand fits warmly in place. She doesn’t look at him.
“Leslie said your heart stopped,” he says.
She has a rueful smile on her face, sardonic and sour.
“And B said yours stopped,” she returns.
Stephanie and Dick died. They (start to) deal with that.

Summary
“Okay then, Ricky, who’s your favourite hero?”
“Owlman.”
Dick raises an eyebrow. “I said heroes, kid.”
Ricky scowls and then shrugs. “I don’t know,” he mutters. “He’s a — hero here.” He frowns and then shrugs again. “Power Ring.”
“They’re called Green Lantern here, and there’s more than one.”
Ricky shrugs yet again, and Dick wonders if his arm hurts from all the shrugging. “The, uh, green one?” he says half jokingly and Dick snorts. “Harold Jordan?” he tries. “That's the Power Ring on my Earth before, you know, that yellow guy killed him.”

Summary
That is stretch of time in which Dick waits to die. He feels the blood rushing to his ears pulse at a slower rate with each second, the burn in his lungs hotter than the scorch of seven days in a desert without water.
The art of waiting seems redundant here, but it is no matter, because time finally has Dick under his palm, with control over everything but his mind. All he can do is count.

Summary
He couldn't find the energy to be upset at the news report, and he couldn't be angry at the smiles on the Wayne Family's faces. It wasn't their fault, he couldn't blame them for forgetting about him. How could he?
As far as they knew, Dick Grayson had never existed.

Summary
“Get out of Blüdhaven.” Nightwing ordered harshly as he ripped himself away from John and stalked across the warehouse. He carelessly stepped over the unconscious bodies of hired men before snatching up what was presumably one of his weapons.
“Sorry, darling, but I’m here on business. Can’t leave til it’s sorted.” Constantine dropped his hands in his jacket pockets as he turned around to watch the vigilante.
Nightwing grabbed his other escrima stick and holstered them both on his back. “It’s not your business.”
“They’re demons.” John said bluntly. “Unless you and your brood have become quite practiced at demon hunting without me knowing - which, let's face it, is rather unlikely - then it certainly is my business.”

Summary
It's been nine days since he was brought back to life due to the Chaos Shard. Nine days of drowning silence from Richard. Nine days filled with joy shared by his family at his newfound lease on life, but Damian would have to be blind to not be aware of the hidden edges of the blades in the shadows of their smiles. Something is being kept from him and that something has to do with Richard's absence. A something that Damian will not accept, cannot accept.
Going out in Gotham as Robin it seems as though the city is as uneasy and weary as he is. As if his death was just the first experience of the eyewall of a hurricane, and their time within the quiet eye of the storm is rapidly ending. Slowly becoming aware of a hidden guillotine hanging high above their necks with a rotting rope, he digs for the truth until his hands bleed. A Batman without a Robin is dangerous, but a Robin without a Batman is a disaster.
