    Summary

    Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.

    She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.

    “Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.

    “You long to go back.”

    “Yes.”

    “For a different outcome.”

    Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”

    “I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”

     

    Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

    Summary

    "All I did was disappoint you." He couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t catch his breath. "I just wanted to do good. I just wanted to be better and all I did was make everyone angry."

    Or: When Bruce comes back from the dead, Dick goes nonverbal. Nobody seems to have the time to notice.

    Summary

    In a universe that falls somewhere in between Teen Titans and Young Justice, Robin was fourteen years old on the day he was killed in action, caught in a clever trap laid by the world’s most dangerous mercenary assassin.

    Deathstroke’s Apprentice was fifteen on the day he finally surrendered to the Justice League, with blood on his hands and scars that will never heal.

    Dick Grayson is seventeen on the day he chooses to face Slade Wilson again.

    Some things you lose and can’t ever find again. Some things you drop and leave behind. Some things you just have to learn how to carry with you.

    (They’ll call that the Nightwing Protocol, if he survives.)
