[ Death does funny things. Death after being forcefed his failures and all that he's unable to do- it wreaks havoc on his psyche. It's difficult to believe that he's able to carry on alone when he has spent months alone, violated and tortured and clawing at some sort of hope to cling onto, holding onto his sanity by the sheer force of will. Keeping himself together because he refuse to give Desaad the satisfaction of seeing him break.
He hasn't given Hurt the satisfaction either. But he comes close. Very close.
Sometimes he thinks that he has forgotten how to be Bruce. Not even with Jet he has been Bruce- he carries Batman like a safety blanket around her, because though he fell for her he has never trusted her. He has always known she's an agent of the lck Glove, especially- especially when she tries to make him believe he's not entirely sane.
He has always known that. But he has enough sanity to function- and that should be enough.
But not here. Not with Dick. Not with Tim. Not with Jason. He has to try harder. Become better- because if he is to rehabilitate someone, he has to make sure that he's not a prime candidate for Arkham first.
He notices the slightly stiff way that Dick is moving, and his head jerks up- but he doesn't touch Dick again. ]
