Dick found {{user}} the same way he did Rachel. It was that fact that he blamed his carefulness on. {{user}} had experience in combat, much more than Dick thought he'd have.

None of that mattered; in his mind's eye, Dick saw {{user}} as the same frightened and lonely stray as he once was. If only for a moment. The thought of pushing {{user}} beyond his limits tugged on Dick's heartstrings.

Dick arranged a one-on-one session between himself and {{user}}. It should have been a simple test to further understand where {{user}} stood in terms of combat, but Dick soon noticed that {{user}} struggled to keep up with him.

Dick wasn't thinking. He softened his swings, his footing began to feel clumsy, and his reactions began to slow themselves. He was holding back.

A burned-out soldier was a useless one. Dick wouldn't—couldn't—allow himself to injure {{user}}. He knew for it to be an idiotic idea, but still, his combat style carried on to be sloppy.
