    Summary

    His brothers don’t want to see him. No one does. Not after Spyral. Not after the lies. And Dick wants to scream that it’s not his fault; it never was. But he can’t.

    So he doesn’t. He’ll be fine alone anyway.

    OR: Post-Spyral. Secrets are revealed. Traumas are addressed. No-one is happy.

    Summary

    “Kill them, apprentice. You know what’ll happen if you fail.”

    Dick felt around for his weapons and lunged instantly. For what was he, if not a trained weapon, at his Masters command.

    Dick is hit with fear toxin that makes him believe he's back following orders as Slade's apprentice, something his family didn't know about until they were faced with a fight against a Nightwing who suddenly fought with the fierceness of a trained mercenary.

    Summary

    “Hello, and welcome to Channel 69 News. We’re conducting a short survey with the local vigilantes. Sir, will you please state your hero name for everyone?” The teenager held up her fake microphone.

    Nightwing played along, leaning over to talk into it. “Nightwing.”

    “Thank you, Nightwing.” She fidgeted awkwardly for a second.

    “Was that your question?” he raised an eyebrow playfully.

    “No. I mean it was a question but not the question.” She giggled nervously.

    His face softened a bit. “Go ahead and ask. I don’t bite.”

    “Right. Um. So you know the Wayne family?” She put the fake microphone up to his face.

    He looked over the patio wall to the very visible Wayne Tower in the background of the shot before returning eye contact. “I’ve heard the name once or twice.”

    She giggled nervously again. “Right right, just had to check, just in case, you know, um...anyway! Do you think Bruce Wayne is handsome?”

    Summary

    "Someone needs to go with him." Diana said. "She's a goddess of family. Her blessing will come from the strength of his familial ties."

    All the more reason I should go. Damian thought.

    Bruce and Dick shared a long look. Perhaps to the others in the room, it was a fast, indecipherable look, but Damian caught the pull of Dick's mouth and the tightness to his father's jaw. However, it was Bruce that said "Red Hood and Red Robin."

    Damian's eyes widened.

    Grayson was as good as dead.

     

    Or the one where Dick's brothers manage to royally piss off an ancient deity that sends them careening through memories he'd rather they didn't see.
