    Summary

    Bruce died and Cass couldn’t breathe for a week. She didn’t want to believe it at first, didn’t want to even think of it. She knew Bruce and she knew death and they didn’t fit together, not at all.

    He was gone, gone like Brenda and Bludhaven, gone like Steph had been. Like Faizul. She felt it inside of her, so keenly it was as if she had killed him by her own hand. She could search the whole earth and not find a trace of him. It was too much. The pressure was squeezing her insides, left her constantly choking for air. She couldn’t stop dry heaving.

    Or: Bruce is dead. Instead of leaving, Cass stays in Gotham. She learns a thing or two about being Batman.

    Summary

    It had been somewhere close to a year now, since Bruce had come back, and anyone could clock that Dick had been relatively touch and go. Or perhaps, rather, one could say that he appeared sparsely and sporadically, never for very long, and was always on his way before you could really ask him anything. He was around, sure, he had been to Gotham, sure, and most importantly of all: no feuds or underlying bitter tensions were crackling in their little web. Everything was fine, seemingly, except for the fact that if Dick spent more than twenty consecutive minutes in Gotham he felt himself start breaking out in hives.

    Summary

    “I'm not suicidal,” Bruce says with a roll of his eyes, reaching out to take a biscuit from the plate in front of him. Alfred had specifically sent them with him to give to Clark, but what he doesn't know can't hurt him.

    Besides, Clark doesn't even seem to mind, given he's more focused on glaring at Bruce from across the table, “I didn’t say you were. I simply made some observations.”

    (The recurrent pattern of coming and going, decline and regrowth, of Bruce Wayne.)

    Summary

    “So what’s this sex app called?” Logan asks, mostly apropos of nothing.

    Scott really hates that man.

    “Grindr,” Pryde replies, “no e.”

    “Grindernoe,” Logan mumbles, typing away on his phone.

    “No,” even through the tightness there’s a laugh from Pryde as he reaches to take Logan’s phone, waiting for the nod of permission before doing so. “Grindr, no e as in G R I N D R.”
