Summary
It’s not only the fact that their father is dead. It’s also the trembling of Dick’s hand when Tim breaks the news to him, through a call, as if they were mere cavemen. It’s Jason’s harsh looks, crashing down from his resentment and grief. It’s Cassandra’s empty eyes staring at the fancy coffin. It’s Alfred’s obsessive cleaning and his solemn face. It’s Damian’s green eyes silently begging him to stay.
It’s everything. It’s Bruce kicking the bucket before Dick got his life together.
OR
“It’s just the way it is,” Bruce muttered beside him, now with one of his many black turtlenecks and formal pants on. His feet were strangely bare. “Dying was never a bargain,” he said, taking two steps forward before inclining himself towards his lifeless body. He seemed to be inspecting his head wound. “Ouch, I’m never going to live this down.”
When Bruce turned to give him one of his trademarked half-smiles, as if waiting for Dick to laugh on cue, the technician cleared his throat.
Dick’s gaze refocused on Bruce’s cold body.
“Well…?”
“Yeah,” Dick let out, his voice shaky. “That’s him.”
