it was a pretty short talk. i know he's not doing well, and he's talking about it even less than normal. he'd talk a little more if I went there and pushed it out of him. it's an option

[dick's worried. he knows that bruce is still spinning from all that happened. there's not a lot that he can do right now, other than what he plans on doing. he's got his stuff and plans on starting regular rotation very soon.

he wanted to go out soon on reconnaissance. get the lay of things. it would be good since jason's hurt. it would give him the night off.

catching the tiny wince when dick touches at jason's back, dick gets up and grabs the small ice pack that was with the emergency stuff. he breaks it and it immediately begins to cool in his hands.]

i'm happy to do it, babe. i know how it goes. i'll go out for you tomorrow if you want. give you a night to sit out and rest, unless something massive hits.

[putting the pack against the bruises on jason's back, dick pulls jason extremely gingerly back into his arms and lets them rest there on the couch.]

guess we don't get to have a hot makeout sesh tonight, huh.
