Sob. Damian is actually still ... hurting, that even though this Dick is so close, it's not his Dick - and the Nightwing thing just pounds that down. He has two Graysons, and neither of them is. Well. The right one. I have no idea if that'll explode any way eventually, but it's there. And, while Damian's grown up enough to actually more or less accept what he can get, and be a little grateful, because his big brother is definitely there, he hates it a bit, too. But, you know, Damian and his anger issues. Or more like anger thing.

That said, as much as he can, he'll have Dick's back. The Nightwing thing, to him (hey, nobody said he's entirely sane) means that Dick's choice is to go do his thing alone, because Nightwing doesn't have a partner. Damian will respect that and mostly sulk when on his own. It makes him wonder, a bit - now that Dick is no longer Batman, will he show up, if Damian needs him, as he always did, before as Batman? What are the things that have changed, and what are the things that haven't?
Even so? He trusts Dick explicitly. And completely. It just makes him doubt his reason and his logic and his sanity a bit more. Which he's already doing all the time, so, business as usual, right? Sorta?

But, really. Dick was the first person to accept him as he was, the first person to be there for him when he didn't have to, the first person to learn to ignore Damian's insults when he's giving them, especially later on when they're coming out of habit and he doesn't even mean them. The first person to start addressing what he's really trying to say, not what's coming out of his mouth, to listen to his opinion, to respect him. Just... him. And Damian doesn't do things by parts. When he loves somebody (and, yes, he does love Dick), he does so completely, loyally, faithfully, and just. He'd give his life to protect Dick - and, even more, all his time on the turtle he's been trying to figure out what Dick would want him to do and trying to do that. Sometimes, it's backfired, but - Dick's the first person that Damian is actually afraid of disappointing. On the flip side, Dick's the person who sheltered him from Talia's disappointment, and Damian will never ever consider that choice of his wrong. Even if this Dick doesn't remember that.

So... while Dick hasn't been through a lot of this, yet? Just about everything he does or says is the right stuff, the stuff Damian's grown to miss almost painfully. And he'll take that, and protect him as much as he can and. Well, he doesn't do hope, but, try not to actually let him down.



Cassie IS SO GLAD to be spending more time with everybody, Billy included! She's wondering - probably will discuss with Teddy - about at least telling him that he and Tommy get their mom back, and she's okay, she was - controlled when she did those things they all know she did, and she's taking responsibility for them, as well as for Billy and Tommy, because she knows that he must still be wondering, unsure, and stuff to look forward to is good, right? Right?

That said, here, she'll let him and Teddy have time together, since Billy's been on his own for a while, but, after they all get acclimated to the place, she'll organize them hanging out and figuring how they can help. Among the three of them, they can do a lot, right? And Billy by now has some knowledge of how things are. She's... not up for going back to heroing just yet, but she's pretty sure they all know that's temporary, and, as in any city, there's a lot to do to help stuff, anyway.

Basically? She'll try to spend as much time around her friends, and it's so, so good to have Billy there.

THIS IS SO LONG BUT AMAZING OKAY YES

You know, Dick does have a small sense of the disappointment? Damian hides it really, really well, but if Dick was both glad and disappointment when the Nightwing suit arrived instead of the Batman one, then he can only imagine how Damian must feel about it. But no matter what, Damian is his brother, and he'll always be there, because he knows Damian is there for him... they are so messed up but I love it ;; Actually, I was thinking of Dick getting his Batman suit for the next landfall. Thoughts?

That would actually be a good thing for Billy to here. Just that they got her back in some way, and that she was controlled. Learning she was controlled, that would be enough, because he can't do anything he would if he's here.

It's so strange, though. Billy is... a little confused that she wouldn't want to hero it up? And Teddy has been iffy on it too. He wants to ask them wtf is wrong why aren't we suiting up right now!? But I want them to hang out, the three of them, or two of them. Billy might start talking to Scott some more, if she ever wants to be there and hear stories about her passed back and forth!
