Summary
Dick’s dad died when he was twenty-five. Unlike his first dad, it wasn’t as fast as a steep drop below. No, for this dad, it was slow. Agonizingly so.
It didn’t come with a swift hit to the head nor shot to the gut— no ICU or hospice or invasive IV lines stabbed into skin.
He’s not dead to everyone, not when Jason rambles about a play, or Cass cries, or Tim falls asleep at the computer again— a phantom tends to them, encourages them, talks with and not to them.
But when Dick screams at his grave, the air is as dead as ever.
Bruce was a good dad to Dick— until he wasn't. Their relationship soured over the years. Bruce was great to all his siblings, so why was Dick the only one who Bruce didn't care about?(Or: Bruce and Dick have a talk.)
