Summary
Dick couldn’t remember how it started.
He never could. After years of screaming matches and biting words being spat at one another in yet another round of anger induced verbal abuse, the fight always played out the same way. The days or weeks leading up to the inciting incident would be fraught with tension. Patience worn thin by a scathing criticism here and a sarcastic quip there. Starting with a failed mission or just exhaustion from a particularly rough batch of patrols. Bruce would get in a mood, as he was prone to do. Acting more like a prepubescent boy then a man in his 40’s. And Dick would do everything in his power to direct his Fathers ire onto himself, away from his siblings' notice. Sparing them B’s cruel streak.
And Bruce could be very cruel when he wanted to be.
