He says he’s just Bruce’s butler, but he’s actually part of the family. Bruce sits passenger, and that’s when Danny notices the old man in the driver’s seat. He really just wants to go to sleep.ĭick takes them to a sleek black car parked just outside the landing pad, sliding all of them in the back. Father Bruce is following awkwardly behind them and holding Danny’s blanket like a treasured possession.ĭanny thinks he’s going to cry all over again. Jazz is waiting just outside, looking at him with such concerned eyes, and Dick is doing everything in his care to make sure Danny isn’t jostled when he walks. Seriously, what is it about this guy?ĭamian leads the way out of the plane. Danny would’ve laughed if the situation hadn’t been so embarrassing. “B, can you grab his blanket?” Dick says distractedly, and the large man bustles to it. But the Waynes don’t know about his other half yet. He knows he probably lost several pounds in the lab, not counting how he’s already unnaturally light. Dick says nothing about his light weight. If it’s a choice between the looming man in the doorway with the constipated expression or Dick, he knows who he wants.ĭanny blushes harder and Dick walks over, grinning. How ‘bout it, kiddo? Can one of carry you for now, until we get those legs checked out properly?” He finds himself subconsciously relaxing and Dick seems to notice. My parents weren’t from America, so they didn’t know about the double meaning.”ĭanny finds Dick’s laughter contagious, fighting back the wide smile that wants to take over. I’m Richard, but I go by Dick.”ĭick laughs when Danny claps his hands over his mouth. “Danny,” Danny corrects, startled back to himself.ĭanny blushes and shrinks a little. He has the lithe, strong body of a dancer or an acrobat and a calming voice practiced in speaking to children and victims. He’s not small, per se, but he’s not tall nor particularly large. Danny’s eyes switch to the owner of the voice, Richard, who brushes past Bruce and stands slightly in front of him. He– huh? He hadn’t even heard Damian speak. Would you be okay with one of us carrying you?” someone asks. Damian said you’re too hurt to walk right now. He is big in the sense that he put in the work to get there, but it could be hidden under a comfortable sweater.ĭanny notes these differences. Where Jack Fenton is a tall, big-boned, broad-shouldered man with an affinity for fudge, Bruce’s largeness is clearly all due to muscle. His memory of his rescue is fuzzy, but he’s sure Bruce was there.īruce is a large man in a different way than Jack Fenton is. There’s a soft knock at the entrance of the little room, and Danny jolts up to see a man he slowly recognizes as Bruce Wayne. affection unlike what Mother had offered us.”ĭanny leans into Damian’s side. The punishments are trivial in comparison, and there is always food and warmth and. Living with Father is nothing like the League. “They are better than we could have ever imagined.

The Waynes are good to you?” Danny asks hopefully, trying not to fidget. He can visibly see the way Damian’s expression softens into something resembling fondness, the lighter tone of voice. Danny only knew of a few people Damian had ever called by their first name in the League, and they were quickly killed off for being ‘distractions.’ĭanny resists rolling his eyes. “Richard, huh? He’s a good brother to you?” The older man must’ve been, or else Damian wouldn’t be referring to him by his first name. Richard has spent innumerable hours lecturing me on accepting help when I need it.” Damian scowls a little at a memory.ĭanny smiles slyly. ![]() So why is he still shaking? Why is he still flinching at noises and nervous about being completely vulnerable in the arms of large men?ĭamian sits beside him, bumping their knees together. What frustrated him the most was that he was still scared. Mother was never emotionally available, and Jack and Maddie had been nice at first, until their work started to take over their lives like a ghostly Obsession. “I hate that I’m so dependent now.” He’s a little pissed, too, because he’s gone so long without love or care from an adult. ” Danny says nervously, fiddling with his fingers. “It will be no problem for Father or Richard to carry you.” Turns out, of course, his body isn’t ready for walking yet.ĭamian catches Danny before he hits the ground and settles him back on the bed. ![]() Danny is thankful that Damian allows him a few more minutes of quiet comfort before he has to get up.
