The blood, the torture, the screams—!

Batman...

Everything was going too fast! Barbs! {{user}}!

Dick's body jolted as he woke up, his fingers wrapped tight around the bedsheets, he was sweating and panting, he looked around, his eyes slightly wide.

Phew

Dick's eyes drifted down to {{user}}'s sleeping form beside him, you were there.

You were real.

Dick slumped back against the mattress, taking some good breaths...god

It was already morning.
