Summary
Bruce realises it then with a sudden startle, all the anger and frustration that had been building up over the last couple days freezing under his skin, blood cold.
"You're trying to make me angry…" Bruce carefully says out loud, all the pieces of the puzzle finally coming together, watching the way Jason's shoulders tense at the shift in tone from angry to a calculative calmness, "On purpose?"
Jason's previous expression, one filled with twisted amusement at Bruce's apparent annoyance is immediately replaced with something tragic. His blue eyes grow wide and fearful, and Bruce watches in delayed understanding as the boy takes a fearful step back.
(Jason's change in behavior is cause for concern. Fortunately, Bruce is a pretty good detective — most of the time.)

Summary
"Batman," Bruce's low and gravelly tone cuts in, and Jason braces against the wall in surprise for a moment, gloved hands scratching against the stone, "ETA 3 minutes."
Jason breathes in deeply, finally dislodging the gasp of air that had caught itself in his chest. He breaks out into a hurried and unbalanced sprint, ignoring the flaring pain that spreads across his entire body, hands trembling.
"Hey kid!" Jason calls out into the emptiness around him, throat strangely dry and hoarse, "I'm here to save you. Can you hear me?"
It's quiet. Jason's eyes are burning.
(Jason found it easier back when the only thing he could feel was anger.)

Summary
Bruce grabs Dick's face with both his hands, forcing them to meet eyes, "Dick. Talk to me. Where are you hurt? You've lost so much blood — you're —"
"Not mine," Dick whispers, furrowing his brows like he's confused as to why Bruce is here, "Not my blood."
"Dick. Whose blood is this?" Bruce asks clearly, back to locking eyes with Dick, trying to bring him back to the bathroom covered in glass and not wherever he's lost himself in, "Chum, please. Dick whose blood is this?"
(Dick kills the Joker. Bruce hides three bodies.)

Summary
"Oh fuck," They hiss once they're close enough, and there are suddenly a pair of hands on him, touching his face with trembling fingers and ghosting over the space on his chest that isn't impaled by the debris, "Oh fuck. Damian! Damian, can you hear me? Shit. Shit."
It suddenly dawns on him — Damian is trapped and he's going to die with Jason Todd.
Somehow, this has become marginally worse than simply dying alone.
(After a warehouse explosion, Damian is trapped under rubble. He only wishes he was trapped alone.)

Summary
"Before," Clark asks, a glass of whiskey that has absolutely no effect on him whatsoever held loosely in his hands, "Why did you hate me?"
"Well," Bruce hums, downing the rest of his own glass in one sweep for an ounce of courage, "You killed my children."
(The day Zod attacks Metropolis, Bruce loses his kids.)
