Chapter 16
Bruce brushed the silent tears off his face. He slowly pushed the hospital door open and entered Dick's room and slowly and completely quitely enter the room. Wally didn't seem to notice this but Dick who has been trained by Batman and who entered room silently as possible knew it was Bruce in the room.
Dick peeked up from Wally and looked directly at his dad. Wally turned to face Bruce, quickly whipping his face of the tears. Wally noticed Alfred and Barry in the hallway. He glanced quickly back at Dick who gave him a little nodded that it was okay that he left. Wally smiled back and gave Dick a quick, tight hug before pushing himself off the bed. Once his feet hit the ground he ran into his uncle's arms, who held him tightly. Bruce glanced over at Barry and gave him a tiny nod and smile. Their silent conversation ended quickly with Alfred patting Barry's back before walking past him and entering Dick's hospital room then closing the door behind him.
The speedsters left very quickly.
Alfred stood silently in the corner of the room, watching.
Bruce turned to face his small son before him. Dick had his head lowered and his hands were twisting at the sheets before him, he clearly was nervous and upset.
"Dickie?'' Bruce quitely asked. Dick inhaled sharply and slowly raised his head. His broken blue eyes glanced up at Bruce's face. He saw no anger, no disappointment, just sadness and love.
"Tati, I'm sorry!'' Dick broke into a sob, wrapping his shaking arms around himself.
Hearing Dick's broken voice broke Bruce's walls down and he rushed towards his son, holding him tightly to his chest.
"No, no no no. This is not your fault Dick. It's mine, for not seeing how much pain you were in. And for that I am sorry. I hope one day you will be able to forgive me and allow me to prove to you that I can be a great father to you once again." said Bruce. Dick snacked his weak arms around his father, balling his hands up into tiny fists within Bruce's jacket.
"I forgive you, if you forgive me first. And you are a great dad. I'm so sorry Tati, I am so sorry for everything." said Dick. Alfred walked closer to the two lads before him, laying a hand upon Dick's shoulder.
"It's great to see you awake Master Dick'' Alfred said with a smile on his face.
"Thanks Alfred, I missed you. I missed the both of you and I'm sorry." Dick said and brushed the cold tears from his blue eyes.
"That's enough sorrys Master Dick. Now is time for rest and healing. All is forgiven sir. You are safe and loved." said Alfred.
Bruce sent a smile to Alfred before moving onto the bed with Dick still in his arms. He held on tightly to his son as they all cried. Bruce rocked back and force as Dick slowly calmed down and slowly drifted off to sleep in the warm and protective arms of his father.
