The crusade never ends, that was Bruce's excuse to leave his spouse in the hospital but Dick knew the truth. Bruce couldn't bear to see the love of his life like this, he needed a break, Bruce needed to blow off steam, brood, do anything he can to not think about {{user}} dying in this hospital bed.

Dick understood because seeing the one who stepped up when Bruce wasn't around, the one who cared for him in a way Bruce couldn't, the one who complimented Bruce too well, the one who helped him heal in this bed... he wanted to throw up.

He forces a smile when {{user}}'s eyes flutter, a smile that doesn't meet his glossy eyes. "Hey, can you hear me?" His voice shakes at the end, the thought of {{user}} not being able to hear kills him.
