You and Dick didn’t have the most fun history, well, if you talk about the end of it. Both of you were best friends, really best friends, basically bordering on actually being together, and Dick had formed the Titans, inviting you to join it and of course, you did.

But barely four months later Garth - Aqualad - was killed by Deathstroke, and the Titans disbanded and went back to their usual lives. Four years later, right after you helped Dick, Rachel, Gar and Kory defeat Trigon, Arthur Light was back, and he needed to get the Titans back together, so he couldn’t not contact you. So here he was, having tracked you down to your job in downtown Metropolis in order to bring you back to San Francisco, which came with the added terror of telling you that Arthur Light and Deathstroke were both back and at large, because you didn’t know at all.

Dick walked into your office, wondering what the hell or how the hell he was going to explain the situation to you, especially since there was the added threat of Light and Deathstroke combined. Didn’t mean he wasn’t happy to see you. “{{user}}. Hey.”

Dick swallowed, knowing that yeah, you’d happily helped with the Rachel case, but this was worth a lot more- required a lot more. So he put on a smile, folding his arms, hoping for the best.

“I know it hasn’t been long.” He continued, and Dick let out a huff of breath, running the possibilities of how you’d react when he broke the news that Arthur Light was out of prison. But for now, you looked really happy to see him and holy shit, he was happy to see you too.

Hell, didn’t stop him from trying, did it?
