Brotherly Advice
“Tim I’m sorry about what happened out there, but you know how Jason can be; are you okay?”
“Jason is an asshole sometimes, but I would’ve expected more from you, of all people!”
“I know, and I’m sorry but this whole thing caught everybody off-guard, why didn’t you take my advice and use my place in town; I’ve got an extra bedroom and I’ll program a key code for you guys, not that either of you really needs to come and go by the front door.”
“I don’t know, I guess I just wasn’t thinking, Dick.”
“Being in love will do that to you Tim, but keep in mind that in ‘our line of work’ it can also get you killed! “I asked you to come out and tell Bruce about this months ago, why didn’t you?”
“We’re all about keeping secrets around here, I guess it was force of habit; anyways he said he figured out on his own.”
“That’s not an answer,” Dick said in one of his rare moments of complete seriousness (Richard Grayson was rarely serious, Nightwing was almost always serious).
“Things always seem to be just on the edge of flying apart at the seams, Dick; it’s like wishful thinking and baling wire are the only things holding this city, not to mention my sanity together.” “When I’m with Conner it’s like I can have that little bit of control that I can’t find anywhere else; and when he’s with me he can find the peace of mind that’s been eluding him ever since we released him from Cadmus.”
“Damn Superman, anyways!”
What’s he got to do with it?”
He treats Kon like he’s some kind of mad science experiment gone wrong, as if he were a Frankenstein’s monster, you should’ve seen Conner’s face when Bruce told us he’d contacted him.”
“He was terrified Dick, Kon was actually scared shitless at the thought of talking to Superman, I thought he was going to cry, or at least piss himself.”
“That’s hard to picture, wait Superman’s here, NOW?”
‘Yeah he’s downstairs in the cave with Kon having a heart to heart to heart or something.”
“When we’re together, when-we-hold each other it’s like I feel like living and he feels like he’s actually alive, and both of our pain goes away; does that make sense Dick?”
The implications of Tim's frank admission scared dick, a little. They'd have to have another talk about that soon. For now he just said, “Actually, it does and it reminds me of something Bruce said to me when I first came here after my parents died, I was looking at that big portrait of his folks that’s hanging downstairs and asked him if the pain ever goes away.”
“He told me that he wished he could promise that it would go away completely someday, but he couldn’t do that; he did promise that it would get better though” ¹
“Really Bruce said that?!” “I wish I could’ve known him when he still saw things that way and there was still some hope in him.”
“Actually, he still has a lot of hope and optimism, he gets it from you and me, Babs, Cassy, Jay and Damian.”
“We’re his source of hope Tim, that’s why he so fiercely protective and why he might’ve overreacted a bit downstairs.”
A new light dawned on Tim’s understanding of his adoptive father and a small tear actually came to his eye.
“Yeah, I guess you’re right,” he said in a somewhat shaky voice, “I don’t know why I never thought of it like that.”
“So, I can tell the ‘old man’ you’ll be ok?”
“Yeah, Dick and thanks, Bro.”
“Anytime Tim,” Dick said with a wink before closing the door behind him.
