[ Dick leans into the hug. He focuses on the present, the way he was taught. The small shaft of sunlight that cuts through the room, the distant sound of traffic, and the feel of the floor beneath his bare feet. It was just a nightmare, but based in reality. He can't change it. All he can do is carry the knowledge now.

Jason asks if he wants to talk and he shakes his head. ]


Not really. Do you?

[ Dick is quietly relieved that Jason doesn't want to talk about it either. The things that happened, he could describe them in gruesome detail. But how he feels about it, the sick feeling in his gut that still lingers, he couldn't even put together words for it.

He feels Jason tighten his grip. He knows what Jason is going to say before he does. It's a promise he's heard before. From his parents, from Bruce. It's a promise no one can keep because they can't control every possible bad thing that'll hurt him. Dick doesn't have the heart to point that out and, maybe, he wants to believe right now. He wants to believe that there isn't a Joker out there that would delight in torturing another Robin. ]


We'll protect each other.

[ Dick is still ignorant of what happened to Tim. He didn't scrape through all of the available data online, so he won't know anything about it unless someone tells him.

Going out sounds better than pacing around the apartment and doing mindless things to keep busy. When he's upset, standing still just makes it worse. ]


Sure.

[ He lets go when Jason does and doesn't even make a face at the hair-ruffling. He gives Jason an almost-smile at the suggestion. ]

Might as well get to work, since we're already awake.

[ He's sure there are healthier ways to cope. He might even know a few, after all of the sessions he's had with Canary. But sometimes doing something concrete is enough. He can't undo what happened to Jason. But he can fight to make things even a little better. Maybe this time someone makes it home who might not have if they didn't intervene. Maybe someone who's been tearing apart the neighborhood gets locked up.

Little things still matter. Trying still matters. ]
