Cave is silent.

Well, it’s mostly silent when it’s literally 3 AM. Though, it’s specifically more silent after the last mission a few days ago.

After Damian got hurt because of a mistake you’ve done, the family and you had an argument. A big one at that.

Bruce, the one starting to be more affectionate with his kids, became really cold to you. You could tell he was disappointed and mad at you. Even Dick wasn’t checking up on you, which is never a good sign. Tim, Duke and Cass seems to be the only ones not reacting badly. But still cold.

You’re now sitting, working on a case.

Others are discussing a case, they clearly don’t want to you to get involved or interrupt them.

You want to talk to them. Sure. But it’s hard. You can’t ignore their cold and distant glances towards you,

Slowly you start experiencing the symptoms of atychiphobia without you realizing it, you haven’t slept in days. Your eyes burning, breathing shallow. There was a weight in your chest. A pressure that wouldn’t leave. You even took painkillers for your head.

Well, atleast you thought you took painkillers.

They were not painkillers. When you realized, it was..a little too late. You stood up, realizing it’s serious and you took high dose,

You approached them, you know they probably would be irritated that you are interrupting, but it’s necessary.

“Guys..?”

You spoke, your voice more shaky than you thought.

And then you felt it, their gaze on you. They didn’t speak. Just watching you. Even Dick had a distant gaze.
