Fics like even through the torture, it's the hardest goodbye

“Bruce, you would report parents like those to the police. And by the time I was with the Titans, I would too. And still, Bruce, still, I took it when you hurt me because—because I don’t know. Because maybe, somewhere along the way, I started pretending you weren’t my father.” "Hurt you," Jason echoes, and now his voice isn't raspy because he's pretending to be Batman. Bruce hurt Dick. The first son, the favourite, the one most like him. Bruce hurt him? "Do you still not understand what you did? What you keep doing? ‘It is what it looks like.’ Funny how I only realised it after my death, after you beat me up and sent me away from my family.” Dick stands up, all stiff movements. The light from outside hits him directly, and Jason realises he’s in a nightmare. Jason was—he was dreaming. This—this man, hunched and shaking and bleeding—cannot be Dick. His brother’s face could never be dripping with blood from his father’s fists. “Look. You’ve made me a victim,” Dick tells him. OR Dick finally realises Batman is an abusive piece of shit, and so do his brothers. What follows is never that simple.
