[To say that Robin needed this outing, too, is a bit of an understatement - what with everything that has been doing on. He's arguing with his best friend, the team is split up and not really okay with how he's taken charge, and Bruce is now here? Yeah. He's a little stressed.

And while his normal, everyday training of both his physical state and his team has been helpful, there's nothing quite like this. Even if they don't have a bunch of drug dealing punks to go beat up. This is almost enough.]

Given our line of work, being addicted to spandex is the least of our worries.

[Bruce wasn't just stressing Dick out. Steph had her fair share of problems with his return too. He'd already punched her confidence in the face, and lowered her self-esteem considerably. She knows she shouldn't let it get to her, but Bruce makes her feel like she's...like she's Spoiler again. Spoiler the fail Robin who got fired for being a screw up, before she actually screwed up.]

The least of our issues too, I guess.

How are you feeling, Boy Wonder? Cheered up yet?

[It's not like Wally told her he's been fighting with his best friend, or anything. Nope.]

[So they basically get to sit together and talk about their problems. Because, honestly, what better place than on top of a building dressed as super heroes? Though, since Dick's been a little lost in his own head recently, he hasn't really noticed Steph's problems. But that's what this quality time is for, after all!

He kind of laughs, but it's not heart-felt. At all.]

Despite your obvious skillage in comfort food, and those waffles were seriously asterful, no. Not really. [And he sighs and rubs the back of his neck.]

[This would be easier if batpeople weren't bad at feelings.

Steph bites her lip.]

Do you want to talk about it?

I promise that even though the cowl covers my ears, my hearing is still top notch.
