Fics like AN ACHING HEART TO SMILE INSIDE.

"I'm sorry Duke, he's gone," Duke hears him say, his heartbeat loud in his ears, "Steady, son. You are safe now." Duke blinks away the blurriness in his eyes, gazing up at Bruce helplessly. There are undoubtedly waves of tears leaving his eyes now, but Duke finds he can't stop himself, especially when Bruce squeezes his hand. There's a pin prickling sensation across his body, bubbling his blood beneath skin, but Bruce's hand is warm. "I'm sorry," Duke whispers, devastated. Bruce squeezes his hand, face pinched with worry and fading terror, "You're going to be alright." (Duke gets hurt on patrol, Bruce responds.)
