Summary
Dick screamed so violently he thought his throat would tear from the force of it. He threw his body against the walls and pounded his fists on the door. He raged in every way he could think of. Throwing chairs against the wall, banging metal pipes against metal floors. Were it not for the telltale drip of the water tapping a pitter-patter beat as it fell from the built-up condensation on the ceiling, he would think he had been struck deaf.
After what seemed like an age, but he knew in reality had only been minutes, he slumped against the door and gave up attempting his racket. The curse hadn’t just taken his voice and his ability to communicate through comms; it had taken every form of sound from him.

Summary
Dick’s eyes snapped back to the lawyer as she continued “Forgive me for not taking your word. You have a track record of vendettas against your training officers and accusing them of misconduct, Mr. Grayson.”
“It’s Officer Grayson actually... I was shot twice by a man I trusted. He then walked over to me and took my duty belt, and camera. I couldn’t hit record for the backlog. I was lying in a pool of my own blood. I was left there to die.”
Bruce sucked in a breath from where he sat in the gallery. Dick hated that he was here, listening to this. It was almost shameful to have to air the gory details–blood trails, mistakes and all. But he had vowed. He would tell the whole truth, and nothing but.
Dick testifies after being shot on the job. Dick just wants it over with, how do you face the man you trusted after he put two rounds in your chest? But the only way out is through and the only way through is armed with the truth.

Summary
Bruce’s hand closed around yet another object. Bruce didn’t quite understand when he pulled it out. It was a rather small sneaker. The colors, once bright, were faded. Two velcro straps were bent and kinked into a twisted shape. There was lint on the velcro rendering it useless. Bruce had the vague memory of Dick picking the shoes out nearly a month after he’d first moved in. But Bruce felt that the memory couldn’t be true. They were surely too small.

Summary
A glass broke. Dick thought it might have been Donna’s. Wally was now speaking in his over fast hum that sounded more like the wings of a hummingbird rather than human speech. Roy was staring at Dick, a stony expression on his face. Garth was looking at the photograph, a confused twist in his mouth, making Dick feel sick.
Confusion was perhaps the only thing Dick wasn’t feeling.
Dick put down the newspaper and pushed his chair back away from the table. The scraping sound cut off Wally’s ramble. He couldn’t look at anyone else. He didn’t want to see the pity in their eyes– or worse still their indignation on his behalf.

Summary
The kitchen pantry was dark, only the glow from the refrigerator lit the small yet obnoxiously organized space. Every shelf and cupboard was meticulously laid out.
Dick didn’t understand, he had never had to search before. It should be there, right next to the frozen pie crusts. It had been there for years. That was his spot. Yet, Dick had picked up each crust, and searched every bin, dated and labeled in Alfred’s neat pen.
It had to be here somewhere.

Summary
With new threats emerging every day, the Justice League knew it was time to expand their ranks and consider new recruits. Wally couldn’t contain his excitement, practically buzzing with anticipation as the meeting dragged on. He couldn’t wait for the boring formalities to end and for the nominations to finally begin. He had a candidate in mind—a great one at that. Someone with unparalleled agility, unwavering determination, and a personality that could light up any room. His best friend.
“And with that, we will be moving on to the nominations portion of this meeting.” Superman announced, bringing his speech to a close. “Anyone with a potential recruit in mind, please raise your hand.”
Wally’s hand went up before Superman had even finished his sentence. “I have one,” he said, his grin wide. “Nightwing.”

Summary
The vent cover clatters to the floor, and Dick flings the knife at Croc, trusting that he's going to be a more of a threat than his goons. Croc roars in pain, or maybe just rage, and Dick scrambles toward the vent, Damian already inside, and -
And Killer Croc grabs him by the ankle, slams him into the wood. He feels something break, and he gasps, hardly able to catch his breath. Some sort of metallic clang echoes from behind, and he thinks if Damian comes out of the vent and gets us both killed…
or: a gate-crasher ruins the wayne charity gala in the worst way possible.

Summary
The boy looked so small. So small standing next to his dead parents.
An orphan. Another one. The city has won once again.
Batman had seen children before, children that had lost everything, especially in the flood. The Riddler's descriptions of his nights in the system would haunt the nights. Maybe it was because he hadn't come to the circus as Batman. Not as Bruce Wayne either. But this time, as he looked at the boy in his blue eyes, he couldn't hide behind the mask.

In which I, like everyone else, watched The Batman and immediately thought "someone give this man a Robin"

Summary
Sometimes it doesn't matter what reality is, only the perception of it. And when Dick is already questioning his place in the family, an offhanded comment from a confused photographer doesn't help in the slightest. Neither does an especially harsh dose of fear toxin.
