Fics like paint it over

The view shifts when Batman stands up. From this angle, the brightness of the city lights makes it possible to distinguish the outlines. Jason’s eyes are closed, and his head lulls backward, as if he was asleep. But there are wet streaks on his cheeks and his lips open and close slightly, soundlessly. There must be another movement too; perhaps he squeezes Batman’s hand, or attempts at a kick, because Batman readjusts his grip and says: “Shh. We’re going home. We’re going home.” Everything twice. To the side, something glints in the darkness; a familiar shape, all sharp. Dick pauses. He rewinds the recording. dick is welcomed back in gotham by his not-quite-dead brother and his father's refusal to share the report of a night from weeks prior.
