Summary
“You hate us for making you better,” Dick continues against his will. He doesn’t want to be saying this, but really, how dare Bruce be so surprised to hear it? He should understand better than any of them how defective his relationship skills are. He has no right to pretend it isn’t true now that they can all hear it aloud. “But you hate yourself more for making us worse, which is—it’s fucked up, but we’re all fucked up, and it’s—it’s only partially your fault. You secretly wish you’d never met any of us, and you’d be right about it because now we hate ourselves, too.”
How can Bruce have the audacity to look heartbroken when he already knew all of this? Why is he pretending? Why does he keep lying?
(Dick is dosed with truth serum, and the effects will take at least a day to wear off. During that time, Dick is forced to reveal and confront truths about himself that he never wanted to acknowledge. )

Summary
“I do not understand,” Damian insists, and Talia purses her lips at his dogged persistence, even as she strokes a hand through his hair. “He still keeps a picture of you in his nightstand, you know.”
“You should certainly not be rooting around your father’s nightstand,” Talia admonishes gently.

Summary
"Father. Do not panic. I have everything under control."
Bruce immediately begins to panic, because Damian should know his father would never panic, so whatever has happened, whatever Damian claims he has under control, is undoubtedly going to make Bruce panic. Like right now. He's panicking.
But just as Bruce pushes himself to sit up on the bed, with great difficulty due to the bandages across his stomach, eyes darting over Damian to find any injuries —
Thomas Wayne, age thirty, walks through his bedroom door.
(Or; a ten step guide of things not to do when you're sent to the past, by Bruce Wayne.)

Summary
“Have you ever thought about making music?”
Damian freezes, brush moving away from the canvas. He puts it down with a harsh clack, turning to stare at her with confusion masked poorly by a glare.
“You’d be good at it, I think,” Barbara continues, meeting his glare head on. “You’re talented at the arts. You know your body well.”
The praise gets to him, like it always does, and Damian blinks slowly. Confused. Confused, but proud.
“But why would I?” Damian asks. Barbara hides a smirk. He tried to make it sound dismissive, but the curiosity had come through plain as day.
“Well, why wouldn’t you?” Barbara rebuts. She lets it sit there, in the art room, and doesn’t say anything more.
———
Or, how Barbara tricks the whole Batfamily into therapy, starting with Damian.
