Summary
“They unmasked him,” Bruce says, slow, each word sticking like it doesn’t want to come out. “And strapped him to a bomb that was connected to his heartbeat.”
Jason doesn’t say anything. He has never had any reason to trust anything Bruce says. It’s such a Bruce-like thing, to lie about something so enormously unimaginable.
*
The world believes Dick Grayson is dead. But Jason could never fall for something so ridiculous. Dick Grayson? Dead? Impossible.

Summary
“I'm not afraid of falling, Bruce,” Dick says casually when the man's silence is an answer enough, pulling himself up to sit on the pole again, eyes a bright and relentless blue. The boy frowns, “My parents weren't afraid of falling either.”
Bruce feels his heart lurch in his chest. The ground seems very, very far away, “Dick."
“Bruce,” Dick replies easily, smiling something sad and faint, “Don't be scared. Falling is half the fun.”
(Bruce teaches Robin how to use a grapple, and Dick teaches Batman how to fly.)

Summary
"B?" Robin asks, confused at Bruce's long silence, "They're going to move. What's your call?"
Batman realises he can't ever remember the last time Dick waited for his call before jumping headfirst into a skirmish. Well before he turned fifteen, at the very least. A long time ago now.
They're working properly together all of a sudden, listening to each other and waiting for instructions — but for some inexplicable reason, Bruce feels as though they're two completely different people. It is still Batman and Robin, but it's not Batman and Robin.
It's… strange.
(Something is different about Dick. Bruce notices.)
