“You still talk to him?” Steve’s hushed question comes out more like an accusation, shaved down and sharp.
“I raised him...” Wayne’s eyes shine with something that Steve refuses to let rise in himself, "like he was my own. I love him, despite everything. I couldn’t leave him then, and I can’t now.

Steve’s fist clenches as Wayne trails off.
