[There's a short pause between the feed clicking on and Dick speaking.]
My parents were murdered when I was eight. I was there when it happened. It was... [He takes a slow breath.] It felt like my whole life was just falling apart and I had no idea what was going to happen or where I was supposed to go or how I was supposed to live without the two most important people in my life.
But I got lucky, because someone was there that night who knew what it was like to have their parents taken away from them. He took me in, gave me a home and support and made life feel like it was worth living again. I know I got lucky. A lot of kids... A lot of kids lose parents and just end up going through foster home after foster home, and if Bruce hadn't been there, that's probably what would have happened to me. I would have been alone and lost, with no idea what I was supposed to do with my life.
Instead, I got a family. They've helped me become the person I am today and I can't thank them enough for it. I've had an amazing life, even if it's not always sunshine and rainbows, and I love my family more then anything.
... I'll always miss my parents. That hurt never goes away, and there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about them and wish I could talk to them just one more time, but I...

I wouldn't trade what I have now for the world.
[... Oh crap. Didn't mean to say any of that out loud, to everyone. Fuck you, floods. :|]

One of these days, one of these floods is going to screw us all over permanently.

You know, that sort of thing. The things people know about each other, but they don't say, because once you say it you can't take it back and everything changes.

[Because he's pretty sure he'd still be afraid of people finding out about certain stuff even if he was here alone.]

[Because guess who has the exact same issues. :|]

I guess I'm doing a decent job, because I already pissed Bruce off.

And then I may have made a remark about him watching me die.
