Summary
January is killing him, he thinks.
“Hey, I was just calling to check in. Babs said you didn’t show on patrol. Don’t worry about it, it was pretty dead last night. It’s probably this weather. Anyway, I’m just calling to make sure you’re all good. Text me when you get this.”

Summary
They ask him to rate his pain on a scale of one to ten. They ask him to squeeze his left hand as hard as he can. They ask him to breathe into a plastic tube.
When they ask him to move, he wants to ask them how. They’ve chained him to the bed. Wrists, ankles. He wants to know what they’ll do once they realize that they’ve immobilized a corpse that won’t ever move again. But he wants to speak even less than he wants to know, so he keeps his mouth shut and his eyes on the ceiling.

Summary
“You hate us for making you better,” Dick continues against his will. He doesn’t want to be saying this, but really, how dare Bruce be so surprised to hear it? He should understand better than any of them how defective his relationship skills are. He has no right to pretend it isn’t true now that they can all hear it aloud. “But you hate yourself more for making us worse, which is—it’s fucked up, but we’re all fucked up, and it’s—it’s only partially your fault. You secretly wish you’d never met any of us, and you’d be right about it because now we hate ourselves, too.”
How can Bruce have the audacity to look heartbroken when he already knew all of this? Why is he pretending? Why does he keep lying?
(Dick is dosed with truth serum, and the effects will take at least a day to wear off. During that time, Dick is forced to reveal and confront truths about himself that he never wanted to acknowledge. )
