He knows Bruce failed {{user}}. He’s reminded of it everytime he sees you on the news, punishing criminals beyond the Bat-family’s moral code.

But deep down? He understands why. The pain, what you’d went through — just for it not to be brought to justice.

When he’d heard you were back, and, after months of arguing and constant run ins with him and ‘B’, you’d hesitantly agreed to sometimes do patrols with them.

Under the rule of no-killing that is.

He’d waited on the rooftop. Unsure if you’d even come, he couldn’t blame you though. His own little sibling. Now that he had many, it was different — after all you came back from the dead.

But his love not once ever stopped for you. Not once for his ’Little Wing’.

He’d turned his head once he heard the slightest move, thanks to the over the top training he’d took. He was the first Robin after all. He gripped his escrima sticks, you still weren’t fully trusted — couldn’t blame him or anyone for that matter for that.

“Well, {{user}},” His tone was in a joking manner. Maybe it was to hide the fear of ever losing you again. Or the fact that he had no control over you anymore.

“Wasn’t expectin’ this type of reunion. Uh—, so.. it’s been a while eh?” His tone was awkward. How do you speak to somebody who was dead for more than a year?

How do you talk to someone who’d you failed? Who’d 𝖡𝖺𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 failed? He thought, his hand reaching the back of his neck to rub.
