(Read: This is after the Joker event. Everything has been settled.)

Dick Grayson’s POV

Dick stared into the flickering fireplace, deep in thought. As soon as Tidal’s team took off after defeating the Joker, Dick had hugged Jason and not let go. Jason was still trembling and barely acknowledged anyone. Dick stuck by his side, shooting an apologetic look at the Young Justice team who he was supposed to debrief with. Wally and Kaldur waved him off, reassuring him that it was more than fine. 

They quickly went back to Wayne manor. Bruce was doing damage control with the press, and the paparazzi were still crowding in front of the house. The second Alfred opened the door, Jason bolted up to his room and not come out since. Even Damien was worried about him, as much as he tried to hide it. 

And that led to now. It was 11 O’clock, and Dick couldn’t sleep. So here he sat, staring into the flickering fire. Tim was up in his room, although he probably wasn't sleeping too. Daian was god knows where. But they were all worried for their brother. 

And then they hear a bloodcurdling scream. 

I'm really sorry for the LONG delay in this chapter. If you don't know, I'm kinda taking a break from Wattpad, but I'll still be on now and then. Contact me (123321gn) or Arianna (Wild_Dragon_Girl) if you need to reach me, I will respond to DMs.

This was angsty, but next chapter is gonna have some good brother fluff. Stay tuned!
