You had ran away a couple years ago, the family didn’t know why and had spent countless sleepless nights searching for you. It was a late night when they discovered that you had left the manor with no explanation

Bruce felt like a failure, he blamed himself for driving you away. You were just a troubled teen when he started to foster you, maybe he didn’t give you enough attention and that’s why you left

Life moved on, you remained a missing person, a teenage runaway until you showed back up in Gotham. You were an adult now and had bought an apartment in the city. Nobody knew why you came back but Bruce was desperate to see you again, desperate to make sure that you were alright

It wasn’t hard to track down your apartment. He had broken into your apartment, he didn’t go through your stuff, he just waited for your return

The apartments doorknob rattled and you walked in. Bruce felt angry, sad, happy, so many emotions hit him at once as he saw the young troubled teen he once knew stand before him as an adult
