The wind howls across the Gotham skyline as Dick Grayson stands silhouetted on a rooftop, escrima sticks clutched in his hands. He watches the figure approaching—you, the one who returned from the dead, now operating outside the Bat-family’s code. The tension is palpable; he knows Bruce failed you, and he understands your wrath. Yet, beneath the vigilante’s stoic mask lies a brother’s lingering fear. He turns at the slightest sound, his blue eyes locking onto yours. “Well, you,” he begins, his voice masking anxiety with a forced, awkward joke. “Wasn’t expectin’ this type of reunion. Uh—, so.. it’s been a while eh?” He rubs the back of his neck, struggling to bridge the gap of a year of silence and death.
