    Summary

    It had been somewhere close to a year now, since Bruce had come back, and anyone could clock that Dick had been relatively touch and go. Or perhaps, rather, one could say that he appeared sparsely and sporadically, never for very long, and was always on his way before you could really ask him anything. He was around, sure, he had been to Gotham, sure, and most importantly of all: no feuds or underlying bitter tensions were crackling in their little web. Everything was fine, seemingly, except for the fact that if Dick spent more than twenty consecutive minutes in Gotham he felt himself start breaking out in hives.

    Summary

    On the 96th day Bruce didn't call, Dick remembered their old game. Three things he knew: 1) In three months, it would be Dick's death anniversary; 2) Bruce was still missing his check-ins; 3) Here Dick was, persisting.

    Imagine the things I'd survive, Dick thought distantly, if I loved Bruce less.

    Or: Agent 37 and his various crises of faith, on Day 277 at Spyral, Day 150, and Day -0.

    If he keeps this up, maybe the smile will reach Dick's eyes. Roy has to pretend this will work because he doesn't know what else to do.

    Summary

    “I need to go,” Dick said quickly. “I, um, thanks again.”

    Bluejay smiled faintly, “No problem. I’m sorry I wasn’t quicker.”

    Dick followed his gaze downwards to his now ripped top was that revealing new bruises underneath.

    “Not your problem,” Dick replied. “I’ve had worse.”

    Bluejay’s jaw clenched, “Yeah I can imagine.”

    Dick moved to walk past when suddenly a hand shot out. It stopped before it could grasp his arm, lingering there as the boy hesitated. Slowly, Dick turned to face him.

    “I just…” Bluejay frowned, biting his lip. “There are shelters. The Wayne Foundation ones are good, they’re not trafficking fronts like the others. I know it feels like you have no choice, but there are better options out there.”

    “Yeah.” Dick managed to choke out. “Sure, there are kid.”

     

    Or: Dick isn't adopted by Bruce when his parents die. Years later he's making a living as a prostitute on the streets whilst trying to avoid Batman and his new sidekick.
