Summary
Being Robin feels like flying: steady, wind-whistle certainty that what he and Batman are doing is right. Even with his hands bloody, Dick doesn’t waver. He knows they’re doing good: permanently removing the murderers and criminals from Gotham.
Of course, nobody can fly forever.

There is everything that Myrensi is not allowed, is everything that Myrensi will never become.

Summary
He’s just begun to fruitlessly pick at his hair when there’s a bang, harsh and loud, and he ducks, dropping his comb. The second one makes him tuck and roll out of the room, reaching for a weapon. He’s got his hand on a loose wingding when there comes a harsh hiss. Water under a lot of pressure cracking off of tile. Dick creaks up into a crouch, poking his head around the doorframe, staying low. His shower is suddenly working again, water hammering into the stall and sluicing out onto the floor. His drain, never very functional, appears to have given up entirely.
It takes him half the wall to find the damn pipes and turn the water off, the shower blasting like a machine gun the whole time. For a moment there’s quiet, just water dripping. His phone rings where he left it on the counter, jumping with the vibration. BRUCE, it reads. Dick answers.
“You will not fucking believe the morning I am having,” Dick says. “Everything happens to me. I’ve told you about my landlord, right?”
“Dick,” Bruce says. Something in his voice makes the hair on the back of Dick’s neck rise.

Summary
There’s no good way to tell your godson that he’s going to leave everything he’s ever known to live in Star City. There’s no good way to tell him you’re never getting better, that you won’t be leaving the hospital the next time you go in. There’s certainly no way to make that not hurt. But Roy is a good kid. He knows to keep himself steady.
(Bo really, really hopes he knows how to keep himself steady.)

Summary
He would hug Grant, is the thing. If he asked, Roy would wrap him in the kind of hug that makes Lian go limp with relief after a nightmare. The kind of hug that he learned from Ollie and Brave Bow before him. The kind of hug that kids are supposed to get from their dads. He lived for those hugs in the way a lonely kid always does. Leaning into it because for all the problems and the bitterness, Ollie never laid a hand on him like that. He remembers the sting of that slap, then thinks about Ollie looking him in the eye and telling him it's okay, you can shoot me if you need to.
It feels a little like that, crouched in front of Grant while he's on the verge of blowing up. Like this kid could turn him to dust and he wouldn't blame him at all. Because he's just that. A scared kid trying to fight someone that's already dead and gone.
John Emerson is lucky he died before Roy ever got ahold of him.
