Crossed Lines - The Secret 2c/?

[anonymous]

This time he can hear Dick - he’s moved closer to the door. “I don’t know. I don’t want him to worry, but… it’ll help. Both of us, I mean. Though, I think he might be a bit jealous.”

Jealous? Damian narrows his eyes. Why would he be jealous?

“…And hurt because…” Dick adds and suddenly trails off. “Oh, I’d never thought about that. He’d probably never speak to me again.”

This is definitely not about the trial, Damian concludes.

“It’s up to you,” Bruce says. “Choose wisely.”

Dick moves away again. “…don’t… not fair… You don’t understand! He’s hurt enough, already! Flying was… If he sees… furious… can’t do this… ugh, I’m going to bed. We’ll talk later.”

Damian quickly disengages the brake and wheels down the hallway, hastily turning the corner in the foyer. Another quick burst of speed and he’s in the TV room. Scooping the remote into his lap, he executes a hasty parking job, tosses a blanket over his legs and turns on the TV, quickly lowering the volume.

A few minutes later, Dick appears in the doorway. “I saw the light on. Can’t sleep?”

“I was there again,” Damian answers.

“Me too,” Dick says, approaching. The nine-year-old crawls into the armchair closest to him and curls up with his knees to his chest. “Do you think it’ll ever get better?”

Damian closes his eyes, ignoring the smell of fresh shampoo coming from his little brother and the sight of new calluses on his knuckles. Dick’s been training, probably that night judging by the evidence of having taken a fresh shower, but Damian doesn’t know any kind of training they’d have done back home that would add calluses to the knuckles like that.

He sighs: “I don’t know, I just don’t know.”

Whatever it is that his brother’s up to, he’s going to find out.

He owes it to his parents. Dick’s his responsibility now.

Okay, I was a bit iffy about this, but I kept reading my email notification anyways and I am so glad I did. This is awesome. I am eagerly anticipating the next part so I can see what Damian does. And how he'll react. And I'm guessing Bruce is already making the Cave wheelchair accessible. Again, this is great.

Quality writer-anon is quality and assures same, but slow. Hopefully, if I am conscious after work, I can add more today.

If one Grayson has found the cave, the other is sure to follow, in Bruce's paranoid logic.

Thanks for giving me a chance.

This is fantastically done. After all of the fluff-filled tiny!Batsibling stories, this is an interesting change of pace that I absolutely adore. The change in dynamic brought about by Damian being in a wheelchair and he and Dick being actual brothers seems to be making something a blend in story I haven't quite seen before. (Does this mean that Damian's going to become the male version of Oracle now or something?

'm definitely looking forward to more, so keep the awesomeness up!

Writer-anon thanks you. If there's fluff from me, it's a guarantee that it'll be nuanced and layered between complex feelings and situations. OP didn't specify how Damian had to fight crime, hehehe. Exact words writer anon is exacting. xD (Mayyyyyybe, though not as Oracle per se.)

I love this. It's so, just... feelings. It is full of them. Yes.
