[ It's hard to believe how much he missed this. How much he feels like the stubborn thirteen year old again - angry that he's not living up to his father's expectations, but not caring because he has Dick Grayson's trust and love. Something he'd never had before. Talia had viewed him as a tool, only loved so long as he was useful. Ra's had seen him only as a continuation of his legacy, adored only so long as he obeyed without question. And Bruce...
Well, Bruce had never much seemed to want a son. That duty had fallen to his eldest, who hadn't known what to do. Only that this boy was his responsibility now, his to try to tame, and somehow he'd managed it.
He feels light. Freed from guilt, from a lifetime of hardship, from all the loss when Dick smiles. Like this is the second chance he'd begged for and never received. ]
